PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum 30ml

Why Choose the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum?

Fine lines and rough texture show up faster under Dhaka’s strong UV and the dry air of an AC room. Retinoids are the most studied ingredient group for both concerns (confirm source). The PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum puts two of them in a 30 ml (1.01 fl. oz.) bottle.

The main ingredients are retinol and retinal, each at 1,000 ppm. The “2000” in the name is their total: 2,000 ppm, or 0.2%. Retinal is one conversion step away from retinoic acid, the form skin cells use. Retinol needs two steps. This is why retinal is usually called the faster-acting form, and also the more irritating one (confirm source).

The support cast is a barrier-care base. Niacinamide appears early in the ingredient list. Adenosine is a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient. Ceramide NP is a skin-identical lipid that helps hold moisture in. Centella asiatica extract calms the look of redness.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is at 100 ppm, or 0.01%. That is the smallest of the three named actives. The retinoids do most of the work in this formula, and NAD+ plays a supporting role. The brand describes it as radiance care.

The rest of the INCI list adds sunflower seed oil, tocopherol (vitamin E), Lactococcus ferment lysate, fructooligosaccharides and four plant extracts: fig, hardy kiwi, sophora and gardenia. Beta-carotene and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) are both coloured ingredients, so expect a visible tint in the bottle (confirm on first use).

The INCI prints no fragrance, no essential oils and no drying alcohol. Preservation comes from 1,2-hexanediol, pentylene glycol, ethylhexylglycerin, phenylpropanol and sodium levulinate.

The brand tells users to shake the bottle 2 to 3 times to mix its layers before use. Use it in the evening only. Retinol and retinal can cause dryness and redness, and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding should skip retinoids and check with a doctor first.

Our Take: Pros and Cons of the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum

Key Benefits of the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum

Targets Fine Lines

Retinol and retinal at 1,000 ppm each help reduce the look of fine lines. Retinoids speed up skin cell turnover, which smooths the surface (confirm source).

Smooths Uneven Texture

Regular retinoid use helps refine rough or bumpy skin. The serum’s two retinoids work on the same surface texture from two angles, one through retinol and one through retinal.

Supports Firmer-Looking Skin

Retinoids are linked to better collagen support over weeks of use (confirm source). The brand positions this serum for firmness care, with adenosine as a skin-conditioning partner.

Adds Glow with NAD+ and Niacinamide

Niacinamide helps even out the look of skin tone, and NAD+ at 100 ppm is the brand’s radiance ingredient. Together they offset some of the dullness that rough texture causes.

Supports the Skin Barrier

Ceramide NP, glycerin, sunflower seed oil and centella asiatica extract all sit in the base. They help hold moisture in while the retinoids do their work.

Fits a Night Routine in Dhaka

Retinoids break down in sunlight, so evening is the right time to use this serum. The lightweight texture also sits comfortably under a moisturiser in humid Dhaka summers and AC-dried winters.

Retinol and Retinal vs Other Retinoids

This serum sits in the middle of that table, and then doubles up by pairing two of its rows. Retinal is a step above retinol in strength, and the formula holds both at 1,000 ppm. That makes it a better fit for skin that already handles a basic retinol than for first-time users. Anyone new to retinoids can still use it, with a slow start of 2 to 3 nights a week.

Texture and Feel of the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum

The brand describes a lightweight serum that absorbs comfortably. Shake the bottle 2 to 3 times first, because the formula has layers that separate at rest. Pat an appropriate amount onto the skin until it absorbs, then follow with a moisturiser.

The texture suits normal, oily and combination skin in Dhaka’s humid months, when a heavy night cream can feel sticky. In AC-dried winter air, dry skin may want a richer moisturiser on top. Use it in the evening only.

Who Should Use the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum

• Adults who want to reduce the look of fine lines and rough texture.

• People who already use a retinol and want a stronger step.

• Anyone who wants a retinoid with a ceramide and niacinamide base.

• People who prefer a fragrance-free ingredient list (confirm on the carton).

• May want to skip, or use a thin layer: first-time retinoid users, very dry or sensitive skin, and anyone using strong exfoliating acids. Pregnant and breastfeeding users should skip it and ask a doctor.

How to Use the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum

1. Cleanse First

Wash your face and apply a toner if you use one. Let the skin dry before the serum goes on.

2. Shake the Bottle

Shake it 2 to 3 times to mix the layers.

3. Pat On a Small Amount

Pat an appropriate amount onto the face until it absorbs. Avoid the eye area, lips and the corners of the nose.

4. Moisturise

Follow with a nourishing moisturiser to cut dryness.

5. Start Slow, Evening Only

Use it 2 to 3 nights a week at first. Increase the frequency as your skin adjusts. Do a patch test before the first full use.

6. Sunscreen Every Morning

Wear sunscreen the next morning, and every morning after. Dhaka’s UV is strong, and retinoids make skin more sun-sensitive.

Pro Tip

• Routine tip: Avoid strong exfoliating acids and other retinoid products in the first weeks. Layering them with this serum raises the risk of dryness and redness.

• Care tip: Keep the bottle capped, away from sunlight and out of hot places. A bathroom shelf or a bag in a Dhaka summer afternoon is a poor spot, because retinoids lose strength with heat and light (confirm source).

Complete Your Routine

• A gentle, low-foaming cleanser for evening

• A hydrating toner or essence

• A ceramide moisturiser to follow the serum

• A broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen for morning

• A soothing barrier cream for nights when skin feels dry
