Garden of Muses’ beauty editors tried everything from this new Seoul-based Korean hyped-up new skincare brand and shared their Numbuzin reviews.

The Numbuzin Brand

Numbuzin entered the Korean market in 2019 with a whole line of serums. The brand’s slogan is “What’s your number?”. Instead of complicated names, Numbuzin products have numbers representing a specially designed treatment for a specific skin problem.

Numbuzin is focused on developing practical solutions to various skin problems, rather than packaging and complex names. Numbuzin uses expensive Korean ingredients for more effective skincare.

Numbuzin states you just have to find your number and enjoy the benefits of honest and effective skincare.

Numbuzin uses natural ingredients and innovative formulas to create products that nourish, hydrate, soothe, and brighten your skin. Numbuzin is also a global brand that ships to many countries worldwide.

Where to Shop Numbuzin?

Numbuzin no longer has an official online store, but most of its products are available at its official retailers.

Numbuzin No. 1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil

Numbuzin No. 1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil
Numbuzin Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil is a gentle yet effective cleanser that removes makeup, dirt, and impurities from my skin without stripping. It contains natural ingredients such as corn oil, macadamia seed oil, and sunflower seed oil that nourish and hydrate my skin.

It also has a refreshing citrus scent that invigorates your senses and leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. Numbuzin Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil is suitable for all skin types and can be used as the first step of your double cleansing routine. Massage two oil pumps onto your dry face and rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a water-based cleanser for a thorough and deep cleansing.

However, the price is not easy-peasy; it retails for $28! I’d instead buy Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil* for that price when on sale.

Numbuzin No. 3 Pore & Makeup Cleansing Balm with Green Tea and Charcoal

Numbuzin No. 3 Pore & Makeup Cleansing Balm with Green Tea and Charcoal Review
Numbuzin No.3 Pore & Makeup Cleansing Balm with Green Tea and Charcoal by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin No.3 P Cleansing Balm is a gentle cleansing balm enriched with Green Tea and Charcoal. It eliminates the need for double cleansing.

As many of you know, I am an absolute cleanser junkie, so this new release was exciting. This is Numbuzin’s first cleansing balm, and I must admit that it has been making a regular appearance in my skincare routine.

The Numbuzin No. 3 Pore & Makeup Cleansing Balm with Green Tea and Charcoal has been enjoyable in almost every aspect of use – from the opening of the jar when you get that whiff of pleasant natural smell to the way the balm melts on the complexion.

Finally, to the beautiful lit-from-within glow this amazing balm gives as it washes off effortlessly, I might add… no cloth required. I’ve been using this so much that I have nearly run out and have since repurchased. I’ve quickly fallen in love with the Numbuzin cleansing balm – so much so that I would say it’s at Holy Grail status.

I’m happy to note, that, unlike many popular cleansing balms, I love that the Numbuzin No.3 Cleansing Balm is environmentally friendly as it does not contain polyethylene.

It’s ideal for everyone, but it’s especially good if you have clogged pores.

Numbuzin No. 1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner

Numbuzin No. 1 Goodbye Dead Cell Toner
Numbuzin No. 1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin No. 1 No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner is soothing toner, leaving skin soft and hydrated. I can’t say it’s the most hydrating toner I’ve ever tried, but it’s nice when layered.

The star ingredient of this calming herb toner is Centella Asiatica or Gotu Kola. Centella is among the most popular ingredients in Korean skincare products due to its powerful antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a fantastic ingredient for soothing red and inflamed skin.

Centella Asiatica benefits for the skin

Centella Asiatica is a plant powerhouse when it comes to skincare – it does have many, many benefits for the skin:

Houttuynia Cordata Extract is listed as the second ingredient, which:

Numbuzin No.2 Thermal Water 89% Mineral Toner

Numbuzin No.2 Thermal Water 89% Mineral Toner
Numbuzin No.2 Thermal Water 89% Mineral Toner by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

The Numbuzin No.2 Thermal Water 89% Mineral Toner comprises 89% thermal water and five types of hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin deeply. The niacinamide and the gentle PHA help even out my skin tone, giving it a radiant color and improving the skin’s overall condition.

Moreover, the Numbuzin Thermal Water Mineral toner has an incredible blend of hydrating and soothing herbal ingredients.

Chamomile, an age-old skincare ingredient, is excellent for individuals with duller, dehydrated, inelastic, and troubled skin. This is attributable to constituents such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and glucosides inside the flower which carry antioxidizing and skin-soothing benefits. It is also a skin conditioner that enhances the appearance of dehydrated or damaged skin by reducing flakiness and restoring suppleness.

Rosemary has strong antioxidant properties and can calm the skin. It can cause skin sensitivities if used in higher concentrations due to the essential oils it contains.

Licorice is one of my all-time favorite botanical extracts used in traditional medicine for over 4000 years. And the Numbuzin No.2 toner has it! Licorice is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that evens skin tone and soothes sensitive skin.

Japanese knotweed has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is a fantastic natural source of the potent polyphenolic antioxidant trans-resveratrol, the most bio-available form of resveratrol.

Chinese skullcap is a flowering plant native to China with roots high in plant flavones – compounds with soothing properties. It may also be effective at fading hyperpigmentation, although studies have only been in vitro (studies on intact human skin are still needed).

Green tea has many benefits for the skin. It is high in polyphenols, giving it potent antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. Research also suggests that green tea can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

This is the reformulation of the Numbuzin No. 2 Makeup Boosting Toner. I liked the old version, and I’m thrilled they improved it even more by removing that annoying scent of roses. The texture of the renewed one has also become less sticky, which is a plus for me. This thermal water toner is my go-to for makeup preparation.

Ideal for those looking for a good makeup base.

Numbuzin No.3 Super Glowing Essence Toner by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin No.3 Super Glowing Essence Toner contains 50 fermented ingredients to brighten and firm dull, tired skin. This powerful toner prepares and hydrates the skin and has all the nourishing properties of an essence. The revitalizing formula reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you like ferments, read my Numbuzin No.3 Super Glowing Essence Toner review.

The toner has a thicker, luxurious consistency, soaks right in, and leaves a nice glow. It made my skin look less dull and more plump. It also provides a lot of hydration, so I recommend using it at night unless you have dry skin. It’s worth trying if you aren’t sensitive to fermented ingredients or fragrances.

I have gone through 3 bottles, so you can probably tell I love it. I’m currently on my fourth and have a backup.

Numbuzin No. 4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad
Numbuzin No. 4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

No. 4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad contains Anti Sebum P with evening primrose, arrowroot, and pine leaf extracts.

These pads contain PHA (Gluconolactone), the most gentle chemical exfoliator. PHAs have larger molecules than AHAs, with lesser skin penetration ability. However, it works great for sensitive skin that can’t tolerate AHAs. Unlike AHAs, the best thing about PHA is that it doesn’t increase photosensitivity.

The other mild acid in these pads is LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid), a derivative of Salicylic acid that lifts dead skin cells off the skin’s surface. It is non-comedogenic and anti-bacterial.

No. 4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pads remove excess sebum and impurities from the skin and refresh the skin. The embossed side gently removes excess sebum and dead skin cells, while the other moisturizes the skin. When I use them regularly, my pores are less likely to clog.

These pads are possible dupes for the Needly Daily Toner Pad. Check them out.

Numbuzin No. 2 Miracle Trouble Care Double Kit suits acne-prone and oily skin. The double set includes a spot care ampoule and two sets of spot care patches. The Spot Ampoule contains many soothing, anti-oxidant herbs.

Witch hazel extract soothes redness and irritation and reduces sebum production. Brown seaweed soothes and acts as a humectant. Eucalyptus is an essential oil with antibacterial properties.

Numbuzin No. 4 Collagen 73% Pudding Serum is an anti-aging serum that contains 73% collagen to firm, hydrate, and plump tired skin. Ingredients such as hydrolyzed elastin, eight types of hyaluronic acid, and adenosine make the skin smooth, supple, and hydrated.

Adenosine, a relatively new skincare ingredient, is pretty high on the ingredient list. Adenosine has been shown to have:

  • Anti-Wrinkle Benefits. Adenosine stimulates collagen production and down-regulates collagen degradation.
  • Skin restoration. Adenosine promotes dermal wound healing and tissue repair.
  • Soothing. Adenosine decreases inflammation of the skin often experienced by people with sensitive skin or acne.

Numbuzin No. 5 Goodbye Blemish Serum by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin No. 5 Goodbye Blemish Serum claims to fight the visible signs of aging and brightens and restores moisture to the skin. The mild formula minimizes irritation and leaves a non-greasy finish.

The Numbuzin Blemish serum’s star ingredient is sea buckthorn extract. Sea buckthorn has been shown to improve skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss, and skin barrier function when used long-term. Sea buckthorn is also known to comprise vitamins C and E and many other beneficial compounds, such as carotenoids. Carotenoids protect the skin from cellular damage, thus an excellent ingredient for anti-aging. It also acts as a fantastic anti-inflammatory that works well for those with sensitive skin or prone to redness or breakouts.

This is not a product where I have any major concerns, but I have a few minor qualms worth sharing. The most obvious potential problem is this product has three citrus extracts in the top half of the ingredient list. The citrus scent is very present and potentially irritating to sensitive skin.

I bought this serum to lighten hyperpigmentation from my acne scars. Overall, it did help lighten them slightly. However, I feel that Melano CC does a better and faster job. The texture is nice, though, a liquid gel easily absorbed.

Numbuzin No. 6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

Numbuzin No. 6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum is a serum mask designed to be used as a sleeping mask. It tones and combats dull skin tone with a high concentration of glacial water.

I use it now on nights when I feel I need a pick-me-up and extra moisture. 

As someone who does not get much sleep, I was looking forward to this product the most, as many have mentioned that this product is hydrating and gives the illusion that the user is well-rested. It did live up to expectations as the next morning, after applying this, some fine lines seemed more filled in. I apply two layers of this serum to maximize its effects because I sleep in an air-conditioned room and was afraid it may dry out my skincare. Overall this was my favorite numbuzin product out of everything I tried. However, I would not repurchase it as I have my eye on other serums, such as the Manyo Our Vegan Heartleaf Cica Serum. In the past, I have enjoyed the Wellage Ampoule, which was more affordable for similar results.

Numbuzin No 7. Mild Green Soothing Serum

Numbuzin No. 7 Mild Green Soothing Review
Numbuzin No 7. Mild Green Soothing Serum by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

No 7. Mild Green Soothing Serum provides an excellent soothing effect. It deeply hydrates skin with a watery gel texture, leaving a fresh, smooth, hydrated complexion.

It is enriched with 29 skin-soothing ingredients. Yes, 29! I think the conversation with the manufacturer went as follows:

Manufacturer: How many soothing herbal extracts do you want in this serum?

numbuzin: Yes

You can find thorough, detailed guides on the benefits of Centella Asiatica, Heartleaf, and Mugwort in skincare. The sacred lotus flower extract is a botanical extract that has been shown to have photoprotective effects against UVB exposure.

Numbuzin No 7. serum is also enriched with Chinese skullcap, a flowering plant native to China with roots high in plant flavones – compounds with soothing properties. Japanese knotweed has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is a fantastic natural source of the potent polyphenolic antioxidant trans-resveratrol, the most bio-available form of resveratrol.

Licorice is one of my all-time favorite botanical extracts used in traditional medicine for over 4,000 years. Licorice is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that evens skin tone and soothes sensitive skin. Green tea is high in polyphenols, giving it potent antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. Rosemary has strong antioxidant properties and can calm the skin. It can cause skin sensitivities if used in higher concentrations due to the essential oils it contains.

Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum

Numbuzin no 8 Good Cica Serum Review
Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

No. 8 Fine Cica Serum’s second ingredient is good old trusty glycerin. An ingredient that is often overlooked as an inexpensive or inelegant ingredient in skincare, but it is one of the best, most reliable humectants.

Glycerin is also probably the most well-known humectant. It:

  • Hydrates. Glycerin is a very effective humectant, used in many moisturizers to increase skin hydration.
  • Occurs naturally in your skin as part of its home-grown moisturizing system, the natural moisturizing factor (NMF).
  • Strengthens skin barrier. Glycerin also keeps the skin’s lipids flexible, strengthening your skin barrier.
  • Softens. Glycerin softens the skin so other hydrating ingredients can more easily penetrate the skin.
  • Reduces TEWL. Glycerin helps slow down transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Like other humectants, it works by sitting in the top layers of your skin and attracting water from the air and the deeper layers, leaving your skin surface plump and hydrated, even when the weather is arid.

The Fine Cica Serum has a rich, silky texture gently revitalizes and soothes the skin thanks to its Centella Asiatica Extracts and constituents.

No. 8 Fine Cica Serum also contains Oligopeptide-1 & Oligopeptide-3, considered one of the best peptides, that stimulate collagen and assist in blending cells with substances like hyaluronic acid;

Regarding the cons, I’m a little worried about the number of silicones this serum contains.

My main concern with applying Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum before a moisturizer is that the Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum contains a high concentration of dimethicone, a silicone.

Silicons act as a barrier in cosmetics. They make the skin feel more smooth and are a gatekeeper to all previously applied skincare products. It is common to see silicones in moisturizers, sleeping masks, and sunscreens because they are some of the last steps in a skincare routine. Consequently, the dimethicone in Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum could interfere with the performance of the following skincare products. Moreover, due to the molecular structure of Dimethicone, it is much more comedogenic than other silicon.

Therefore the Numbuzin No. 8 Fine Cica Serum could suit those with oily skin, as a last skincare step.

Numbuzin No. 9 Secret Firming Serum

Numbuzin no 9 Volume Secret Review
Numbuzin No. 9 Secret Firming Serum by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

No. 9’s formulation is somehow similar to No. 8’s. The Numbuzin No. 9 Secret Firming Serum also has superstar glycerin as a first ingredient. It is also blended with two types of peptides to restore skin elasticity and effectively improve the firmness of sagging skin.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, commonly called Argireline, is one of the most used peptides in anti-aging products, as it seems to be backed up by more research than other peptides in that domain. It seems pretty interesting. The peptide works similarly to Botox by relaxing facial muscles. A study on ten healthy volunteers showed significantly more reduction in the depth of wrinkles for the Argireline group compared to placebo when Argireline was used as an emulsion formulated at 10% of the peptide.

Numbuzin No.2 Cica Ceramide Repair Cream by Seo Yeon Lee for Garden of Muses. *Affiliate links below.

My skin loves Numbuzin No.2 Cica Ceramide Repair Cream. It’s rich and creamy with glycerin, shea butter, and Centella Asiatica Extracts. Although it is called a ceramide cream, it only contains one ceramide, Ceramide NP. Ceramides are a family of lipids that account for 50% of the skin barrier (by weight), so they’re essential, right? Ceramides are crucial to:

  • Maintain the skin’s moisture levels
  • Protect skin from external irritants making skin more resilient;
  • Help make skin more plump, juicy, radiant, and smooth; 
  • Make skin tolerate chemical exfoliation much better;
  • Skin is less likely to become irritated;
  • Because they prevent dehydration, ceramides are a great anti-aging ingredient;
  • Regulate the cell cycle and apoptosis (regulated cell death);
  • Beneficial for all skin types.

If you want to learn more about ceramides, here’s our detailed guide.

This tone-up sunscreen is an everyday makeup favorite because of its light coverage and added protection. Its lightweight formula makes it easy and quick to apply, perfect for a lazy makeup girl. The beige suits yellow-based Asian skin quite well, but I have seen this on pink skin tones, and the color still looks flattering due to its satin finish.
