What is Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum?
The Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum is a multi-active night serum from Purito Seoul. Instead of using one ingredient for marks and another for texture, it brings three together: 6% tranexamic acid (TXA), 10% niacinamide and retinal, also known as retinaldehyde. The aim is one evening step that tackles uneven-looking tone, post-acne marks and rough texture at the same time.
Despite the strong actives, the base is balanced with calming ingredients such as centella asiatica, allantoin, bisabolol and ceramide NP. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, so it layers easily under a moisturiser. Explore the rest of the brand in our Purito Seoul collection.
Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum benefits: what it does for your skin
Helps dark spots and marks fade
Tranexamic acid and niacinamide each help pigmentation look less noticeable, and together they make a strong pair for the brown or red marks left after breakouts. It is a natural fit for our dark spots and dullness edits.
Smoother texture and softer lines
Retinal speeds up skin renewal, so rough patches feel smoother and early fine lines look softer over time. Learn more in our retinol and retinal guide and the ageing concern page.
Refined pores and balanced shine
Niacinamide at 10% supports the barrier and helps enlarged-looking pores and oiliness. See more options in our niacinamide guide and oil control edit.

Is it good for your skin type?
Oily and combination skin
These skin types usually get on best with it. The light texture does not feel heavy, and niacinamide helps keep shine in check.
Normal skin with marks or dullness
Normal skin that wants a brighter, more even tone and smoother texture is an ideal match.
Sensitive or very dry skin
Go slowly. Apply it over a moisturiser, or try the gentler Purito Seoul Wonder Releaf Centella Serum until your skin is calm. Our sensitivity edit has more ideas.
Who should wait
Skip it if your skin is sunburnt, broken or irritated, and speak with your doctor first if you are expecting, planning a pregnancy or nursing.
How to use Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum (morning and night)
Evening routine
- Cleanse and pat your skin completely dry; damp skin absorbs retinal faster and can sting.
- Spread one or two drops across the face, keeping clear of the eye area, mouth and nostril creases.
- Wait about a minute.
- Seal with a moisturiser such as the Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream or the Luminous Ceramide Moisturizer.
Morning routine
Do not apply the serum in the morning. Instead, cleanse, hydrate and finish with SPF 50, for example the Purito Seoul Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen. Vitamin C such as the COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum also fits best in the morning.
Building up frequency
Start with two or three nights a week. After a few comfortable weeks, step up to alternate nights and, later, to nightly use. Keep AHA, BHA and other retinoids for different nights.
Why tranexamic acid and niacinamide work well together
Dark marks form when skin produces extra pigment after sun exposure, heat, hormones or a breakout. Tranexamic acid helps calm the signals that drive this extra pigment, while niacinamide helps limit how much of it reaches the surface. Because they act at different points, the pair is often more effective together than either alone, and both are generally well tolerated.
Adding retinal speeds up how quickly the marked surface cells are replaced by fresh ones, so the work of TXA and niacinamide shows sooner. That combination is why the serum suits people dealing with stubborn post-acne marks, a common concern in Pakistan's hot climate, where heat and sun can make marks linger for months.
Tips for using a retinal serum in Pakistan's climate
- Apply sunscreen generously every morning and reapply when outdoors; strong sun can undo months of progress.
- In summer, a light gel moisturiser is enough on top; in winter, switch to a richer cream.
- Pause the serum for a night or two before long outdoor events or after a day in strong sun.
- Store the bottle away from heat and sunlight, not on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car.
Can I use a glycolic acid toner with niacinamide serum?
With a simple niacinamide serum, a glycolic acid toner is usually fine in the same routine. This serum is different because it also contains retinal, and stacking retinal with glycolic acid on the same night raises the chance of stinging and peeling. Use the glycolic toner on one or two separate evenings, and keep this serum for the others. On TXA nights, stick to a gentle hydrating toner instead.
Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum vs ANUA
The ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum is a gentle, glow-focused niacinamide serum you can use morning and night, with no retinoid. The Purito TXA serum is a stronger, night-only treatment that adds tranexamic acid and retinal for marks and texture. If you want an easy daily brightener, choose ANUA; if you want a targeted treatment for stubborn marks and texture, choose Purito. Some people use ANUA in the morning and Purito at night.

If you only want vitamin A, compare the celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster or the gentler celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum. Browse all serums and ampoules.
Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum results: how long until you see a difference?
Smoother texture usually comes first, within three to four weeks. Marks and uneven tone take longer: most people see a clear difference between eight and twelve weeks, and results continue to improve as long as sunscreen is worn every day. New marks can still form if skin is left unprotected.
Does Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum have side effects?
Mild dryness, flaking or tightness in the first weeks is common with retinal. Cut back to fewer nights if your skin stings or turns red, and stop if irritation continues. Avoid the eye area, and remember that retinoids make skin more sensitive to sun.

Original vs fake Purito Seoul TXA 6% + Niacinamide 10% Retinal Serum: how to check
A real bottle has a pale, yellow-tinted serum, because retinal naturally has colour, and only a faint smell. A dark brown colour or a strong perfume is a red flag, as is blurry printing on the box. Make sure the box is sealed and that the batch code on the box matches the one on the bottle, printed rather than stuck on.
