What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Retinol + retinal

    Two forms of vitamin A in one serum. Retinal is a step closer to the form skin actually uses, so the pair targets fine lines, wrinkles, texture and firmness.

  • NAD+

    A coenzyme skin cells use for energy. Purito adds it to support a retinoid routine.

    No. 24 of 40 on the list

  • Niacinamide + adenosine

    Vitamin B3 to support the barrier and even tone, and adenosine, the smoothing ingredient in many Korean anti-wrinkle formulas.

    No. 7, 19 of 40 on the list

  • Barrier support

    A ceramide, centella and vitamin E to keep skin comfortable while it gets used to vitamin A.

    No. 26, 27, 31 of 40 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Fig
  • Kiwi berry
