Product summary
"PURITO - Centella Unscented Serum" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Anti-blemish, Moisturizing and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 1.90% - 2.30%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- Peptides (palmitoyl dipeptide-10 0.60% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.70% - 1.05%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.75% - 1.10% and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.75% - 1.10%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Adenosine 0.10% - 0.20%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassic acid 0.95% - 1.15%, asiatic acid 1.20% - 1.40% and asiaticoside 1.20% - 1.50% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.
- Humectants (panthenol 0.40% - 0.65%, arginine 0.55% - 0.85%, sodium hyaluronate 1.60% - 1.90% and glycerin 6.00% - 7.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Benefits
Promise: Anti-blemish
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| niacinamide | HIGH |  |  |
| centella asiatica extract | LOW | | |
| camellia sinensis leaf extract | LOW |  | |
Promise: Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Its skin regeneration effects offer scar care for flushed, irritated and uneven skin tone, creating hydrated and glowing skin.
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: pancratium maritimum extract.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
| pancratium maritimum extract | MEDIUM | | |
| dipotassium glycyrrhizate | LOW | | |

Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Topped with ceramides, the serum works to balance skin’s natural moisture barrier, encouraging a healthy and radiant-looking complexion.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, niacinamide, palmitoyl dipeptide-10, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| arginine | HIGH | | |
| asiaticoside | HIGH | | |
| palmitoyl tripeptide-1 | HIGH | | |

Promise: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (asiaticoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - centella asiatica extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| asiaticoside | HIGH | | |
| centella asiatica extract | MEDIUM | | |
| pancratium maritimum extract | LOW | | |
