PURITO SEOUL TXA 6 Niacinamide 10 Retinal Serum combines two concentrated brightening ingredients with a small amount of Retinal. The formula is designed to improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone while providing complementary hydration and skin-conditioning support.

Targeted Dark Spot Care

6% Tranexamic Acid is used in skincare to address the appearance of discolouration. It helps promote a more even-looking complexion, particularly where dark spots and post-blemish marks are a concern.

Tone-Evening Support

10% Niacinamide supports the skin's moisture barrier and influences processes involved in pigment transfer. It complements Tranexamic Acid in a formula focused on uneven tone and dullness.

Complementary Skin Conditioning

Retinal is a vitamin A derivative associated with skin-renewal processes, while humectants and skin-conditioning ingredients help maintain moisture and comfort. The formula contains 25 ppm / 0.0025% Retinal rather than a high-strength retinal concentration.

Tranexamic Acid (6%)

A pigmentation-focused ingredient used in skincare to improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone. It is particularly relevant for visible discolouration, including marks left behind after blemishes.

Niacinamide (10%)

A form of vitamin B3 that supports the skin's moisture barrier and helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. It also contributes to a more radiant-looking complexion.

Retinal (25 ppm / 0.0025%)

A vitamin A derivative involved in skin-renewal processes. In this formula, Retinal is a complementary ingredient rather than the main active, with Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide providing the primary brightening focus.

Glycerin + Centella Asiatica + Allantoin

Glycerin helps attract and retain moisture, while Centella Asiatica and Allantoin provide additional skin-conditioning support. Together, these ingredients complement the concentrated actives and help maintain a comfortable skin feel.

How to apply

• Use in the evening, after cleansing and toning

What does PURITO TXA 6 Niacinamide 10 Retinal Serum do?

This serum is designed to improve the appearance of dark spots, post-blemish marks and uneven skin tone. Its main brightening ingredients are 6% Tranexamic Acid and 10% Niacinamide, supported by a small amount of Retinal and skin-conditioning ingredients.

Why does the formula combine Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide?

These ingredients address uneven-looking pigmentation through different mechanisms. Tranexamic Acid is used in pigmentation-focused skincare, while Niacinamide influences pigment transfer and supports the skin's moisture barrier. Combining them provides a complementary approach to improving the appearance of uneven tone.

Is this a 16% Retinal serum?

No. The 16% refers to the combined concentrations of Tranexamic Acid (6%) and Niacinamide (10%). Retinal is present separately at 25 ppm, equivalent to 0.0025%, so this is primarily a brightening serum rather than a high-strength retinal treatment.

Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?

The formula contains skin-conditioning ingredients, but 10% Niacinamide and Retinal may still cause discomfort in some people. If your skin is sensitive, introduce the serum gradually and monitor how it responds. Avoid applying it to already irritated or damaged skin.

Can I combine this serum with Vitamin C, exfoliating acids or other retinoids?

Some active ingredients can be used within the same overall skincare routine, but tolerance depends on the products and your skin. Avoid combining this serum with another retinoid, and consider using strong exfoliating acids at a different time while your skin adjusts. Vitamin C may be used separately if your skin tolerates both products.

Can I use this serum during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The serum contains Retinal, a vitamin A derivative. Topical retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy, so this product is not recommended for use while pregnant. If breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional before use because product-specific safety information is not established.

How long does it take to see improvements in dark spots?

Visible changes in pigmentation generally require consistent skincare over time, and results depend on the type and persistence of the discolouration. No specific results timeline has been established for this serum. Daily sun protection is particularly important when trying to maintain a more even-looking skin tone.
