Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum 60 ml is a brightening antioxidant serum from the K‑beauty brand Purito. It features 5% pure ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in a well‑thought‑out formula designed to even skin tone, reduce dullness, fade dark spots / hyperpigmentation, and support skin elasticity. Additional hydrating and soothing agents help with moisture retention and to reduce irritation. Packaged in a dark brown bottle (or a bottle with improved protection in newer versions) to protect against light and oxidation.
Here are the main actives and supporting ingredients, and how they contribute:
Ingredient | Approximate % / Role | What It Does for Skin |
---|---|---|
Ascorbic Acid (5%) | Antioxidant / the star brightening agent | Brightens dull skin, fades dark spots & hyperpigmentation, helps protect from environmental damage (free radicals) and improves skin tone. |
Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Water | Solvent / skin conditioning agent | Provides a lighter base, helps to soothe the skin, adds hydration without feeling heavy. |
Sodium Hyaluronate | Humectant | Deep hydration, helps plump skin, prevents water loss. |
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) | Brightener / barrier support / anti‑inflammatory | Helps even skin tone, control sebum, reduce redness, improve texture. |
Adenosine | Anti‑wrinkle / skin smoothing | Helps reduce appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity. |
Supporting agents & stabilizers (e.g. 1,2‑Hexanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl‑6 Caprylate / Polyglyceryl‑4 Caprate, Disodium EDTA, etc.) | Preservation, texture, stability, skin conditioning | Help keep the formula stable, prevent oxidation, allow smooth application. |
The texture is a serum — relatively lightweight, non‑greasy, absorbs well. Some users describe it as having a slight tackiness initially (in part due to the hyaluronic acid / sodium hyaluronate component).
Packaged in a dark brown or amber‑tone bottle (or darker bottle version) to protect the vitamin C from light exposure and oxidation. Newer versions also include improved stability via “natural fading‑protecting agents.”
Because ascorbic acid is acidic, there can be a slight tingling or stinging sensation on first uses, especially if skin is sensitive or the skin barrier is compromised. This is somewhat expected.
Here are the primary benefits of using Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum:
Brightening & Even Skin Tone
Helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, sun damage. Skin looks more radiant and even.
Antioxidant Protection
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) fights free radicals, helps protect from environmental damage (e.g. pollution, UV rays). Also helps reduce signs of premature aging. Hydration & Plumping
Thanks to sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid) and moisture rich base (bamboo water), the serum helps hydrate and plump skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Improved Skin Elasticity & Anti‑Wrinkle
With adenosine, niacinamide and possibly other supporting extracts (in older versions: ginseng, turmeric, etc.), helps with firmness and reducing fine lines.
Gentler Formulation Compared to High Percentage Vitamin C Serums
Using 5% ascorbic acid is moderate — enough to see brightening but tends to be less irritating than high percentage (10‑20%) serums, especially for beginners. The practitioner‑friendly formula (free from fragrance, essential oils, etc.) helps.
Best suited for:
Skin that is dull, uneven or has hyperpigmentation
People who want brightening benefits without using very strong or harsh formulas
Those with normal, combination, or oily skin who want to add antioxidant protection
People new to vitamin C who want to start with lower concentration (5%) to build tolerance
Caution / less ideal if:
Very sensitive or compromised skin; you may get tingling, burning initially
If using strong exfoliants, retinoids, or other acids—these can irritate when combined with vitamin C
In humid or very hot climate, make sure to store properly (cool, avoid light) to avoid oxidation
To get the most benefit and limit irritation:
Patch Test First: Apply a small amount behind the jaw or on neck/or behind ear. Wait 24‑48 hours.
Use After Toner / Cleansing: Once skin is cleansed and possibly prepped with a soothing toner.
Amount: Use 1‑2 pumps (or 2‑3 depending on bottle mechanism) for entire face. Avoid the immediate eye area.
Layering:
If you have other serums / actives, use vitamin C before heavier creams/oils.
Avoid using with strong exfoliants/AHAs/BHAs, or retinol on the same night (or alternate nights) to reduce irritation.
For sensitive skin, you can mix vitamin C serum with moisturizer or apply moisturizer immediately after.
Time of Day: Typically used in the morning to take advantage of antioxidant protection throughout the day. However, if your skin is irritated, you may prefer evening. Always follow up with broad‑spectrum sunscreen in the daytime when using vitamin C.
Storage: Keep the bottle tightly closed, stored in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat. If the serum colour darkens noticeably (orange/brown), that means oxidation and reduced effectiveness.
Mild tingling or stinging, especially at first or if skin barrier is weak
Slight redness or peeling if overused or combined with other potent actives
Oxidation: Vitamin C degrades when exposed to light/air/heat — colour change, loss of effectiveness
For some, breakouts or irritation (especially if using too much, or if vulnerable to acid‑based or active formulas)
Pros:
Balanced 5% ascorbic acid gives brightening + antioxidant protection with somewhat lower irritation risk
Includes hydration agents (hyaluronic acid) and niacinamide, making it more versatile
Dark bottle & improved stabilizers for better shelf‑life & protection against oxidation
Fragrance‑free, free from many common irritants → better for sensitive skin compared to stronger vitamin C formulas with fragrance or essential oils
Cons:
Some users still find it irritating or experience tingling/stinging, especially early on or with sensitized skin
Because vitamin C is inherently unstable, the product may oxidize over time; its shelf‑life once opened may be limited
The 5% strength, while gentler, may take more time to see visible results compared to higher concentration serums
Possible compatibility issues with strong exfoliants / retinoids if used at same time
