I Tried Numbuzin...& ended up with unpopular opinions

[@BrendaEdwards-c7l]

I instantly saw results with the no.3 serum, not just on my face but my hands after applying. For the rest of the day my hands were incredibly smooth and soft and face as well. I was truly shocked that I had my friend buy it as well and she experienced the same thing I did. Now after a month my skin is even softer, plup and bright. Totally worth the hype in my opinion.

[@ohnowell]

Literally my thoughts when I saw it in my feed 😂

[@sirtsupirtsu]

The no 3 toner - I agree with you. I bought this toner because one other youtuber recommended it so much, but did NOT mention the overpowering scent. I was so disappointed when opened this and was hit in the face with strong wiff of this perfume/toner hybrid product. Scent is so important aspect of a product description - I do not understand why reviewers do not mention that, especially when it has sooo strong scent like that product. This is what I appreciate in your channel - you descriptions are detailed and accurate. Recently I watched dermatologist Dr Sam Ellis recommended this toner highly... I was absolutely sure that she would mention the scent aspect, I actually went and listened twice - NOPE - no mention about scent at all, zero... This makes me not trust her advice at all. I could probably rant here more about this topic. But finally, in your channel I found one review that matches with my personal experience of using that toner. I did also like the texture like you said. I did not notice any big impact on my skin or improvement. I guess I was just barely tolerating the using experience - I still tried to use it up, because it was not that cheap product. But I was glad when I could finally throw away the bottle.

[@meiselle]

Hi Alice! Just wanted to thank you so much for all your reviews! K-skincare reviews can tend to be very skewed due to all the advertising guised as a review, but you come across as unbiased, authentic and thoughtful about your experience with all the skincare you try! Makes it easier to know how all the different things truly work 💗

[@kbykell]

The n.3 toner is amazing. I have to tell you. Fermented ingredients tend to make our skin react in a way that makes your skin imune system stronger. I read some papers on it. So.. if you are having some small pustules the day after using it.. but no itchiness or red patches, sensitivity, its probably the skin immune system reacting to it in a beneficial way and not actually allergy. I got those when i started on galactomyces/bifida and sacharomyces ferment filtrates back in the days, kind of 10 years ago. If this is the case.. your skin gets used to it and stop reacting after a while. I know its annoying to get those small pustules around the face but it does strengthen the skin overtime.. also nurtures the skin barrier into a healthier one.

[@muikkunen97]

[@evamarko2995]

Thank you for the informative video! My absolute favorites the Numbuzin No. 3 toner (love the herbal scent), Numbuzin 5 for hyperpigmentation and Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen. I clean my skin with Bioderma Sensibio water. Then I use the Numbuzin 3 toner. Let it sink. Then I apply Cerave PM moisturizer and Haru Haru sunscreen. That's all it takes to have a beautiful glowy skin. I only use 3 products. I never layer more then 3 products to avoid irritation. The skin needs to breathe. In the evening I use the same toner, Cerave pm moisturizer and small amount of Skinceuticals 1.0 retinol once or twice a week. This is my magic formula for smooth and wrinkle free glowy skin. Thank you again for taking your time to make this video. 🙂

Omg finally! I’ve been feeling almost guilty for not particularly liking this brand after seeing everyone rave about it. Almost all of the products have alcohol or fragrance, and I thought the No. 3 serum was just ok. I knew I could count on you for honesty ❤

[@kathareenmcknight8065]

Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you mean about the tone up sunscreen! It was the first Numbuzin product I ever got. And the first time I put it on I tried to use it as a regular sunscreen, and it was a hot mess! Eventually, after some trial and error I came to the same conclusions as you, and now use it as a kind of light foundation over a regular sunscreen. It gives you an extra boost of sun protection, while also providing a nice level of color correction for lighter skinned people. I’m just sad that they don’t have a slightly wider range of shades. Even just one for the 5 or 6 different shade groups would be awesome. Especially since you want to use a very light application.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Yes indeed, I’ve been so confused by the limited shade ranges in general. For most Korean foundations, the shade options are: 21 beige and 23 beige, and if you’re lucky you get a third: 17 fair beige. That’s it! 🤯🤯

[@raylor631]

People lie so much about the effectiveness of products, the amount of people that straight up lied about the no.3 serum is annoying, I used it and it was ok, at first I thought it was breaking me out so I stopped using it, there's a light fragrance (I liked it personally) but I don't think fragrances have any place in skincare regardless. I did not see really any difference in my skin from before and after, the most I could say is that it was slightly hydrating and refreshing to the skin. I'm so iffy with my experience with them, their products are a little like cosrx in terms of quality (over priced and mid).

[@superg6787]

I love how numbuzin shoves anything they can get their hands on into their products. Those ingredient lists are STACKED

[@alex_intou6392]

My Opinions: Oil cleanser N°1: It was really a good pick, it remove very well makeup, but i prefer water base cleansers. Toner N°3: This gave me a lot of mini bums all over my face, i don't really recommend it. Serum N°3: This lived up to it's hype. It reduced the texture of my skin and left it smooth. Multivitamin Cream N°5: It helped me with my lines expressions of my face and smell so good. Conclusion: The serum N°3 and the Cream N°5 valen la pena.

Thanks Alice for the very entertaining and informative review. Hate to say but I was so glad to hear I’m not the only one who didn’t like the No. 3 toner.

no 3 toner: As someone already wrote here the smell is strong and weirdly it leaves a super dry feeling on my skin instead of hydration. Not a lot of people mention the scent and I was amazed by all the fermented ingrendients. I am still going to try the famous serum because I am curious.

What seems to work for me is to always shake the toner really hard before applying and I always use two layers and thats seems to be the trick for me.

I have used the no 2 cleanser… I feel the same and I have normal/combination skin. It made me feel really dry afterwards, almost flakey. I have the no 3 serum and the toners. I don’t love them but I don’t hate them, but I’m not a daily user of them honestly. The No 3 tone up cream I LOVE!!!! The best way to think of this is more like a BB cream. Tone-up is a very popular phrase in Asia where it means “brighten” where in Western we think “white cast”. I’m on my 5th bottle of it, but I also use it as my “foundation”. I’m not a makeup wearer lately and I can use this with some concealer and spend all day in hot/humid and my skin looks amazing. It’s easy to reapply and layers beautifully over your traditional sunscreens. ☺️ I have tried a few of the moisturizers, they’re just ok for me. But that’s the beauty of Korean is there’s so many brands, you can mix and match without really breaking the bank.

[@rebeccapinto9926]

Can you explain why you said that water would have to be listed first with the firming cream if manufactured in the US- thanks.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

In the US, companies are required to list out what is in extracts. A really good example of this is the skin1004 centella ampoule. It’s original ingredients list was: “Centella Asiatica Extract.” When they went international, they started labeling it: “Centella Asiatica Extract, Water, Glycerin, Cellulose, 1,2-Hexanediol, Gum, Butylene Glycol, and Ethylhexylglycerin.” This wasn’t a formula change, but rather a disclosure of what’s IN the extract. That’s still not a US INCI though, so if the product was ever carried at, say, Ulta or Sephora, they would have to change it again to sorting by percentage (up to 1%), making water the first ingredient. They would also have to list out what type of gum per US labeling guidelines Every country has different regulations, so the same products may seem to have differing ingredients - although they actually have the same formula. Hope that helps!

So it little bit tricky and they didn't have large market like Kbeauty does. And Jbeauty more like 7free something stuff, but they not really cruelty free, like the use of horse oil, milk, silk is still use here and they really like hyaluronic acid and collagen which it make my beauty mindset recently lol, and Japan didn't really use oriental medicine except 'sake'. They didn't work for me except for the face wash and hyaluronic acid product. And that's why I still use Kbeauty even though I stay in Japan, because they have oriental skincare that's work so good on my skin. And Idk why I type so much to explain this 🤣 may because I too enthusiast for skincare recently

Your skin looks so amazing. Absolutely love this look and cream color on you

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thank you so much!! 😃

[@NaimaC2]

I absolutely love your videos!! ♥️♥️

[@Hellokitty021088]

I also bought the sunscreen to use as a foundation after I saw this video I while ago. 😅 Finally arriving from yes style one of these days 🎉

[@frankvelez4997]

Continued #2..Alice excuse some of my typos but I cant seem to edit it. Who knows? KZbin technical issues? Ok Thank you for your review on Numbuzin.🙏🤲✝️

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Sometimes KZbin is kind of buggy! But no worries ☺️

[@pamorama]

Thank you and this was so extremely helpful. I am waiting for that product that I put my face and turn the corner to find my new pony!!! 🤣😂🤣 I would so buy that product. Out of all those the only thing that really intrigued me was one of the serums. Like you, I cannot even deal with products that have an ingredient list that is like a page from a book. Your skin looked amazing in this video so apparently the toner on your body and the sunscreen as a foundation really worked out. 🤗 Thanks again Alice.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Right. The best gift with purchase of all time 🤣 Yeah it’s fairly predictable at this point (you’d think I would learn and wouldn’t buy the products with long INCIs lol!) I always do best with shorter, concise ingredients!

[@JyotiSingh0028]

I agree with you on the toner, I don’t like it. Didn’t do anything for my skin. And most of its products were waste of money for my Indian skin.

[@Momorick]

I have to say, not all their products are fab. Out of all their products my favs are number 7 serum and no 1 herb toner. These are for soothing and calming. I had a bad burn on my neck and used those 2 religiously. Now my neck is fully healed. And no fragrance! I need to try the Cica serum to try. It sounds like up my alley.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh wow that’s awesome! So happy to hear, ouch burns are no fun at all 😭 - hair tool?

[@Momorick]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole actually the burn was from really strong active skincare. It was bad. I used no.7 serum no1 herb toner and goodal Heartleaf moisturiser to heal it. And it healed it right up. I think it depends on your skin. Some work some don’t. I do need to check the Cica serum you mentioned.

[@HSGG_]

the cica cream is used for repairing skin barrier thats why its thick

[@arvivekconsultants]

I want a suggestion for brightening products from this line ?

[@elennawong5552]

Thank you for doing this review ! I was almost trying to like this brand since most Korean beauty bloggers love it ! I bought the no.1 Tone Up cream , the no.3 toner , serum & Tone Up Beige and the no.6 serum . They are all ok but find myself hardly reach out for them . I might just give one more try to buy their new no.2 toner . This is supposed to be great under foundation .

​​@@elennawong5552well I love all those products and I have oily skin so ig those are just not for you not the tone up cream tho I am brown skin so the shade won't work for me but the nomber three serum and toner are just amazing on my skin specially the toner and no 5 serum and cream too but non of those products are recommended for dry skin so ig that's why you didn't like it much?The nomber 2 serum and 8 is good for dry skin tho.

[@PearlDeFloreOfficial]

Wow your skin looks amazing! What an improvement

[@lyza8466]

No. 3 porcelain tone up beige is not a sunscreen, its a cream with spf protection, u shld not use as a sunscreen, hope this help

[@Vaeril]

Have you tried the Mizon Orga-Real Barrier Cream? It's a thick, thick, thick cream, and my dry skin loves it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oooh no I haven’t but thank you for the rec!

[@rem8908]

Always love your videos, Alice! Can you try the numbuzin no 1 cream too???

[@rem8908]

Oh and the number 5 multivitamin cream too please❤

[@loverofawesomeness1]

I also have dry and sensitive skin and recently ordered the #3 toner😢 hope I like it more than you did and it's not a waste😢

[@Hiiiiiiiiieeee]

I know what you mean, I just opened my bottle that I received today and used it for the first time tonight before I watched this review 🙃 the fragrance dissipated very quickly and I honestly thought it smelled very nice. And my skin feels very smooth but hydrated. I would also keep in mind. If you find your skin on the face is too sensitive for it you could always try it on your arms or somewhere else that you need the same type of results.

[@Kitty-Cattie]

Omg I was waiting for thiiiiss ❤❤❤❤

[@paulineskn]

Sometimes my skin likes the toner, sometimes it doesn't 😢 sometimes burns, gets itchy, and sometimes it's ok and hydrating. I've noticed tiny bumps too on my face, especially on my nose and chin. I really think it's the ginormous (unnecessary) amount of different ingredients and the essential oils 😅 gonna use it on my body too! Now I'm really interested about the n.2 cream and the n. 8 serum ❤❤

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Right I really don’t see the appeal in 50 ferments? How many of them were studied for their effects on skin!? 🧐 Alas, I do like it on the body - let me know how it goes for you that way! 😃

[@celiareed1402]

Still want to know what ‘Numbuzin’ means? And why so many numbers? Too many numbers…. Is an accountant or actuary on the board?? ❤

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I hope the accountant doesn’t have to put the numbers into any kind of order. I can’t tell you how many times I went “number 5 is number 7 wait what WHYYY did I rank this brand” 🤣🤣

[@masonjeq4261]

Don't worry too much about the cleanser, you didn't miss the first part of the cleanser's name you missed the middle as the first part was the number.... That said there's so much overlap these days with naming I'd wonder if the cleanser could be dry skin friendly baed on name along (nothing says "wait for review" like "Radiant Matte"). A name like this could be a non-stripping but deep cleaning product that cleanses pores but replaces the moisture, etc. etc.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

“Radiant matte” oh no 🤣🤣 I hate that I can imagine this being a foundation’s description!

[@E78379]

Which cream is the thickest? I have suuuuper dry skin

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

Thanks. Not sure what you did but I can expand ingredients list on my 📱 phone w/o it getting fuzzy

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh good to know! I tried to move all the way to the left of my screen so I could make the ingredients HUGE lol. It was very necessary with products like the essence 🤣🤣

[@che4840]

i think out of all that ive tried, only the no.3 delivers consistently. I’m curious about the collagen serum.

[@Emmazz1412]

What about no 5 and no 5+ serum? I'm thinking of trying it for my hormonal acne and acne acne scars.. Any idea about that?

[@stevierysie]

I really want to try the sunscreen/ foundation. Similar skin type and coloring.

[@islandmama]

This is an example of: EVERYONE SKIN IS DIFFERENT. DON'T TAKE ANYONE ELSE'S OPINION. WHAT WORKS FOR ONE MAY NOT WORK FOR ANOTHER. STOP FOLLOWING OTHERS AND TRY THINGS YOURSELF AND FORM YOUR OWN OPINION!! YOUR BRAIN IS THERE FOR A REASON.. TO BE USED.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Exactly. It’s wild how mad people are at me for having an allergic reaction 😅 - I wish I didn’t, obviously!? Lol! Try products yourself, form your own opinion!

[@pandorajj]

What ???😯🙄😯people are mad at you because you don't like the same product like them😂😂😂😂that is so ridiculous, what is wrong with this world these days 😂😂 and by the way like a dry skin woman , I must say that your apsolutly right about numbuzin 3 😊 ❤

[@anjalipandey7728]

Bro.. the way you give these detailed reviews.. I'm a fan now. Followed. You're dope. Who doesn't love a detailed review of the hyped brands 🥹♥️♥️

[@heathersargent289]

Yes it's freezing at the beach in SC and like last week it was almost 80 this back and forth weather is driving me nuts. I'm suprised IT cosmetics dont have their name slapped on that number 3 toner with the everything and the kitchen sink ingredients list lol. I was really only interested in the number 3 serum and toner then they came out with abunch of creams and stuff. It's just like so many things ware do u start with this brand ..lol Well I am out on the number 3 essence toner I'm not trying to get an allergic reaction and essential oils are not my best friend anymore and maybe way to much ingredients 50 may be overboard 🤣

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I know right, I definitely thought of IT cosmetics!! Or at least their old formulas, it’s so bizarre that they’re reformulating out the long ingredients lists 🤯 Yep same here, 39 degrees then 74 in the same day. How the heck am I supposed to dress for this confusing weather. A tank top with a parka over it!? The weather has me feeling a hot mess lol

[@rashasarandah1695]

I’m in the market for a bifida product. I have similar skin to yours. Acne prone and such. Im torn Between the No 3 serum or the manyo bifida ampoule. Which do you prefer and which works better for your skin? And unrelated but the ordinary pycnogenol seems to be so effective and I’ve only used it for 4 nights. It’s so brightening! Have you used it before? Experiences?

[@roxannerutherford3524]

Hi Alice, I have been using the Numbuzin #3 toner. It hasn't broke me out and I have been enjoying the product for the most part but........the smell is not good!!! I am going to finish the product but will likely purchase another product with similar ingredients. Smells like a musky attic 😩

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That is a fitting description! It smells like my grandmothers house to me lol
