Azelaic Acid is unusual in taking on both from a single molecule, and the PURITO SEOUL Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum runs it at 10%, the concentration the published research sits at. PURITO SEOUL have formulated in Seoul since 2017, building their reputation on short ingredient lists that leave out anything decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAzelaic Acid runs three jobs from one molecule:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 10% it inhibits tyrosinase to slow melanin synthesis, suppresses Cutibacterium acnes and the related bacteria behind breakouts, and quiets the inflammatory signalling that leaves skin flushed once a spot has gone. One active covers the breakout, the redness and the mark, so the formula does not need three separate acids to get there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdding Kojic Acid gives pigment a second block to get past:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kojic Acid at 1,000 ppm inhibits tyrosinase at a different binding site to Azelaic Acid, so the two run in parallel rather than competing for the same target.

Azelaic Acid is the broader active, reaching the bacteria, the inflammation and the pigment in one application, and the PURITO SEOUL Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum then puts Kojic Acid and Niacinamide behind it on the pigment side alone. The practical difference is that a salicylic serum manages congestion, while this one is also working on what the congestion leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Azelaic Acid an exfoliating acid like glycolic or salicylic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, and the name misleads a lot of people. Azelaic Acid works chemically inside the skin, on the enzyme that produces pigment and on the bacteria and inflammation behind breakouts, rather than loosening dead cells at the surface the way an AHA or BHA does. That is why it carries neither the sting nor the added sun sensitivity of an exfoliating acid, and why it sits comfortably in a routine that already has one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use it in the morning as well as at night?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Azelaic Acid is not photosensitising, so twice-daily use is appropriate, and a morning application sits after cleansing and any toner or essence, under moisturiser and then sunscreen. If your evenings already run a retinoid, keep the two on alternate nights rather than stacking them, because the irritation compounds even where the actives themselves do not conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spot is the emergency; the mark is the thing you are still looking at six months later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTarget \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acne\"\u003eacne\u003c\/a\u003e, work on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pigmentation\"\u003epigmentation\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse more from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/purito-seoul\"\u003ePURITO SEOUL\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PURITO SEOUL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59240834662734,"sku":"PRS19-S","price":16.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/PRS19-S.png?v=1779229178"},{"product_id":"thome-abc-triple-synergy-redness-comfort-serum","title":"THOME ABC Triple Synergy Redness Comfort Serum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAzelaic Acid 10%, Niacinamide 5% and Centella Asiatica 1% in one serum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight gel that absorbs fast and leaves no greasy film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for oily and combination skin with visible redness and pores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAzelaic acid, niacinamide and centella usually arrive in three separate bottles, which is how a calming routine gets long.

ABC adds 10% azelaic acid, which works on redness and pigment through a different route, and 1% centella for soothing, so three mechanisms run in one step rather than one. The 5% niacinamide is a well-studied, comfortable level rather than a maximum-strength one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is azelaic acid an exfoliating acid like glycolic acid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. Glycolic acid dissolves the bonds between surface skin cells, which is why it increases sun sensitivity. Azelaic acid is a different kind of acid that calms and evens tone without dissolving the surface, so it behaves far more gently and does not make skin more sensitive to the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: When should I use ABC, and can it go with retinoids or vitamin C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: THOME designed it for the evening, after toner and before moisturiser.
