PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum: A Dual-Retinoid Serum
Share
If you're looking to add a retinoid product to your evening skincare routine, the PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum combines two well-known retinoids with NAD+ in one lightweight serum.
Designed for skin concerns such as visible fine lines, loss of firmness and rough, uneven texture, this serum offers targeted evening care while keeping the formula lightweight and fast-absorbing.
What Is Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum?
The formula contains Retinol 1,000ppm and Retinal 1,000ppm, giving a combined retinoid concentration of 2,000ppm. It also contains NAD+ 100ppm, along with ingredients such as niacinamide, adenosine, centella asiatica extract and ceramide NP.
The “2000” in the product name refers to the combined amount of retinol and retinal: 1,000ppm each.
Retinol + Retinal in One Formula
Retinol and retinal are both vitamin A derivatives commonly used in skincare routines focused on texture and visible signs of ageing.
By combining the two in one formula, PURITO SEOUL aims to provide a dual-retinoid approach for skin texture and firmness care. The brand specifically recommends the serum for skin experiencing visible fine lines, loss of firmness and rough or uneven texture.
What Does NAD+ Do in This Serum?
NAD+ is another key ingredient in the formula, included at 100ppm.
PURITO SEOUL positions NAD+ as part of its radiance and skin vitality care, complementing the retinoid-focused formula. The ingredient list also includes niacinamide, adenosine, tocopherol, centella asiatica extract and ceramide NP.
Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing Texture
The serum has a lightweight, watery texture designed to absorb quickly without a heavy finish.
It is also formulated without synthetic fragrance or essential oils. PURITO SEOUL notes that the natural scent of the raw ingredients may be noticeable because the formula is fragrance-free.
Who Is It For?
This serum may be a good option if you're concerned about:
✓ Fine lines and visible signs of ageing
✓ Loss of firmness
✓ Rough or uneven skin texture
✓ Dull-looking skin
✓ Adding a retinoid to an evening skincare routine
It is listed as suitable for all skin types, although retinoids can cause irritation, especially when first introduced.
How to Use Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum
Because the formula contains retinol and retinal, it's best to introduce it gradually.
- Shake the bottle 2–3 times before use.
- Apply 2–3 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening.
- Start with 2–3 nights per week.
- As your skin becomes accustomed to the product, gradually increase usage according to your skin's condition.
- Follow with a moisturiser.
- Apply sunscreen the following morning.
PURITO SEOUL specifically recommends evening use and daily sunscreen the next morning.
Start Slowly With Retinoids
If you're new to retinol or retinal, more is not necessarily better. Starting slowly gives your skin time to adjust.
A simple routine could be:
Evening:
Cleanser → Hydrating Toner → Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum → Moisturiser
On nights when your skin feels sensitive or irritated, skip the retinoid and focus on gentle hydration and barrier care.
Important Notes
Retinoid products can cause irritation, so patch testing is recommended when introducing the serum. Avoid applying it to broken, wounded or irritated skin and avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
PURITO SEOUL also advises against use during pregnancy or breastfeeding because the product contains vitamin A.
The Bottom Line
PURITO SEOUL Retinol Retinal 2000 NAD+ Serum brings together 1,000ppm retinol + 1,000ppm retinal + 100ppm NAD+ in a lightweight evening serum.
If your main skincare concerns are fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness, this dual-retinoid serum is an option to consider for a gradual, consistent evening routine.
