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.

The no. 3 serum lived up to its hype for me actually. In just a week my skin started feeling super soft, supple and smooth. It reduced my texture over time considerably. My skin absolutely loves it.

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 💗

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 ❤

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

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.

Such a relief to find another person who *hates* the tone up cream and the No 3 essence and cannot use them at all! I really thought I was the problem due to the amount of hype around these products. Skincare should bring joy, not cause you to doubt yourself! Thank you for your honesty, I've been binging on your videos for two weeks now

I just LOVE and appreciate how you put up (and keep up) the ingredients list while you talk about the product

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.

I am newer to your channel and really love your style and sense of humor. Not only are these reviews helpful, but I find your videos very calming, like ASMR. Thank you for all the work you put into your channel! 🌹❤️🥰

“I’m gonna have a pony”😂😂😂 This is why I love your channel. Knowledge with humor, the best!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALICE

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. 🙂

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.

It’s 11pm here, I’ve been staring at a screen for work all day. This notification popped up and I read the end as ‘unpopular onions’. Tell me all about your unpopular onions, Alice. I’m here for it 😂

I have waited for it and it did not disappoint! On the contrary! Thank you Alice for being you ( honest, open and kind!).

the Numbuzin no3 toner is one of only 10 products my entire life that dramatically irritated my skin. I was so excited about it and ended up hating it

You girl can’t believe i just ordered numbuzin toner and then i just came to youtube for search about the toner for more knowledge about the toner … and withour searching your video is on first number … helps a lot …

I agree about the 7 serum, I got it because I'm oily af and green tea is supposed to help but it just didn't. It was like I was putting gelled water on my skin. I'm thinking about getting the number 8 serum to replace it, I know that probably won't help with oil but I really want something super soothing

No. 8 fine cica serum was the first product i used by numbuzin and absolutely fell in love w it. I have very sensitive and reactive skin. I flush easily. This helped me a lot keepin it in check. I recently bought the no. 3 serum too

Thanks for this honest review. I’ve seen a dermatologist recommend the last product w/out mentioning the fragrance or potential for irritation.🙄 Due to having dry/sensitive skin, I avoid products w/ fragrance (exception: foot scrubs or perfumed hair products 😂).

Kentucky has been cold too! I got spoiled with some spring weather, but now my skin is all agitated because I had to turn the heat back on. 😂 I've only tried a few products, but the one that surprised me was the #6 sleeping mask. It is so light, but feels so nice! It actually does give kind of an instant plumping effect like a sheet mask. Love that you're brave enough to share your unpopular opinions! ❤

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. I didn’t like the scent either and I reacted to it as well. I think it’s because of the Geraniol and Citronellol which are known irritants. That could very well be the case for you too!

Thanks for being honest! I do love the #2 cream, #3skin softening and #3 essence, but do understand about the smell, you o have to like it for me it wakes me up and is so hydrating!

I have just used 2 bottles of the no. 3 serum, and bought no 6 and 8 serum. I avoid fragrance and essential oils so I cannot use a number of their products, but I loved these serums. That tone up sunscreen was really popular in Japan, although tone up products seem to be really popular in Asia. I was never into tone up stuff, I would rather just wear a clear sunscreen and then a proper makeup foundation

I’ve just got to say your skin looks great today, so bright!

Although I love No 3 serum, Isntree bifida ampoule worked better for me and results were the much quicker. I will try more Numbuzin products, they are so hyped in Korea

Alice hi! I got to say I’m pretty shocked that your skin didn’t like the essence toner. I really thought that was going to be the one you fell in love with because of the macro algae but I also understand Irritation by ingredients. Such a bummer! The only thing that interest me from this brand is the Cica serum! 💛

I love the Number 3 toner! It’s great to use before my meat smelling vitamin C

I had the same reaction to the no.3 toner! I was so disappointed but I knew it was a possibility I’d have a reaction to the essential oils ☹️

Finally!!! I thought i was the only one not liking the tone up cream, same reaction as you, it was too thick and the texture was kinda pulling my skin! The colour is way too light, even as a tone up cream, so i am mixing it with a very liquid concealer or moisturizer. About the no. 3 serum, i have tried it for a few weeks now and i don’t really see any improvement. I actually think that my skin broke out…. Now my skin has calmed down after 3 weeks and i am still using the serum, but i am still waiting to actually like it. 😢

The same thing happened to me with n 3 toner! I used it 3x, night-morning-night, and than on the second morning I woke up with pimples and breakouts at the most unusual places in my face! And they looked different from my regular breakouts too, smaller and more together, like a colony! So weird! I got the same solution u got: I’m using it as a body toner, and it’s working well (I guess).

The tone up cream is a popular product in Asia that pretty much just evens out your skin tone but doesn’t have a lot of pigment. I guess it’s like a bb cream but super sheer and meant to brighten the face. I would call it a primer

I never noticed that so many of numbuzin moisturizers have shea butter, and some others have fragrance. Unfortunately I find shea can clog my pores so I don't know what I would try from this brand. Thanks for sharing Alice!

Alice, your skin looks so glowy and beautiful in this video!!!

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.

When they say that ingredients are bad they mean the side affects that are associated with having those ingredients in those products. It’s because it’s not just one or two items you might be using it’s in everything from shampoo’s to toothpaste to detergent to perfume to etc. so it accumulates over the years.

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).

Great review! This is a brand I've only heard about in vague terms. I still consider myself pretty new to skincare, so I found this super helpful. I love the Sioris Deep in a Barrier Cream, so I'm really interested to try the Cica Repair Cream you mentioned. Thanks as always!

No3 is a miracle, I went on a mission on KZfaq to find if i was the only one. I used it and the next day I had glass skin, my face never looked better. I have combo to dry skin and oh my gosh, I immediately bought 2 more bottles (and I have been using my whole life really expensive skincare). This is on another plane of existence.

I actually much prefer Numbuzzin no. 3 serum and toner over SKII. Especially no. 3 serum, I see results within 2 to 3 weeks and the cost is only a fraction of the SKII price. I have used up 2 bottles of the SKII essence but I didn’t see any result; so I drop😢it. I have combo and sensitive skin and my skin gets very dry in the winter months. I also like no. 6 serum, it moisturizes and smooths out my dry and wrinkled hands and face in the winter months. I have not try the no. 2 toner yet but I might check it out.

Unfortunately...my skin got darker once i use Numbuzin dnt knw y...!!!

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

Oh my gosh you've been saying in your other videos that you were going to do your review and so excited it's finally here 🙌 I've been looking into this brand

How about doing a comparison of Korean Ato type creams? Apparently, they’re good, thick creams for dry, sensitive skin. I’d be curious to see a video on that topic even though I have combo skin.

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 ❤❤

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.

Wow your skin looks amazing! What an improvement

The 1-9 isn't for skin types it's usually for specific skin concerns- allocated to different serums etc.

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.

Toner 3 is amazing for dry skin; soft, balanced, smooth, all redness is gone, just after 1 week. Naturel ingredients so you can have personal allergy, as more and more people about snail mucin.

Tone up creams are hard to work with. There are tutorials on KZfaq that show you how to use them. I don't want to fuss that much with my sunscreen, so I never try them.

I tried figuring out the numbers thing with this brand, and I found it so confusing and pointless that it turned me off from trying it at all. I was so annoyed. 😂

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 .

I'm liking the No.3 serum, on week two. The No. 2 Cream looks very Interesting, as I'm in Maine and we are gonna be cold here till June.😜. I was really hoping for a review of the No. 9 serum. I reach for a lot of well-ageing products, however this has a few oils. I'm not sure about it only having two peptides, how anti-aging this would be. Thank you for all your help! Many blessings!💖💖💖

You missed 2 known allergens in the ingredient list of the no.3 toner - Geraniol & Citronellol. Both of these are fragrance ingredients that are listed as commonly known allergens in the EU. It may very well be that your skin reacted to those instead of the fermented ingredients.

Whatever you use, your skin is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I loveeed the no3 toner😊...and I Always thought that the numbers on the container stays ti indicate the order of the products of tour are layering

The 3 toner is my newest holy grail😃

I wonder how the Cica ceramide repair cream compares to Purito's Dermide Cica Barrier sleep pack. 🤔 I absolutely love Purito's.

🤣 numberzine products are on prime day sale if u want to restock anything. I'm trying to decide which ones I want to try 3, 8 and a moisturizer. I have so much in my cart and the only thing I have bought so far is blankets 🤣 the skincare decisions are so much harder for me to chose from without spending a fortune.

You’re slaying as always Alice!❤Your necklace compliments your hat so well!!! Love it!

I know of at least one derm who tried some products but didn't care for them so this is interesting.

20:39 😅 I feel you, I did the exact same thing with the tone-up spf N°2... and use the N3 just like you, over another spf.

I come from tropical country and numbuzin 3 tone up works so good on me

How would you compare the No. 8 serum to Purito's Centella Unscented Serum? I've been curious about both and there seems to be some ingredient overlap, though they are obviously different formulas.

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 🎉

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.

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

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

Thanks for being honest! I used #3 serum, it is so thick and greasy as well as #5 cream. I used #3 toner, dis not see great result after 2 months.

I did pick-up the No8 serum and will be using soon.

I'll buy and...let's see. 😊 Everyone might have different result. thanks for posting. It's so informative.

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.

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

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.

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😢

the numbuzin 3 serum is my holy grail

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

i adore no 6 serum ! aww sad u didnt try it.

I just purchased the no. 5 serum since it contain a lot hyaluronic acid, because my combo dry usually like it. I can't wait for it to deliver and try it. Well, my skin never like korean face wash or oil cleanser, I don't know why, mostly because they contain fragrance, essential oil ect. But since I move to Japan I try a lot Japanese facial cleanser, and my skin love it so much, and they so affordable here rather than buy something online. May be you guys can check some up, and may be you guys can enjoy it as much as me. But don't be wrong Jbeauty doesn't have to be famous to be good. 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

I absolutely love your videos!! ♥️♥️

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

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.

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 😩

🤣🤣🤣 I did the exact same thing with the tone up cream! I felt disgusting lol. It was atrocious! It's ok as a foundation, the colour is nice for my skin tone however it clings on to dry patches. I also tried the No 1 tone up cream and that one is a hard pass with the pasty white tone! I was turned off by the brand but now maybe I'll give some of the other products a chance 😜

Sorry my question has nothing to do with Numbuzin but I was wondering if you've tried Indeed labs snoxin ii and stratia interface moisturizer?? Curious what your thoughts/opinions are on both 🤔 What te textures were like and which one did you like better ❤ Thank you in advance to all who respond ❤ I appreciate your time.

When I hear barrier repair, I’m like a moth to a flame lol I had to pick two to start with, so I went west number 3 & 8 Definitely want to circle back for the repair cream! Due to my issues with past acne marks I was gearing up to give the SK-II a try during the Sephora sale (although they seem to be running a promotion now with the trial size and $40 off the full size which I’m considering also) obviously it would take time to know, but if this was a replacement for that I would be thrilled because of how much more cost effective it is!

I never got the hype for that #3 toner. I read the ingredients list a while back and thought yep no way.

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

I tried number 1 purple complex calming cream, number 6 deep sleep serum, number 1 spf and all I felt was a STICKY skin, it was so so so sticky... I was hyped about the n. 3 toner but now Idk.. I wanted to love Numbuzin products but all that stickiness felt very blah.

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.

You’re fabulous! This line doesn’t excite me so I won’t even bother lol

Omg I was waiting for thiiiiss ❤❤❤❤

No3 toner irritates my skin - tried it multiple times because I was so determined to like it but God - it was way too strong (and I don't even have sensitive skin!)

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

I really want to try number 3.

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 🤣

We should always remember that every particular skincare won’t work for everyone.

The other day you mentioned that your skin did not react well to the #3 essence/toner, I opened the my first Numbuzin product that had only just arrived and started patch testing. I was lucky, I did not react and I liked the scent, the scent is the fermented ingredients and the rose geranium essential oil. I think I like it more than I expected which is difficult because I have a few fermented toner/essences that I really like. For reference I have mature skin that is sensitive, everything causes redness but with some it is temporary, dry/normal and I have rosacea. The numbers didn’t help me either, I was hoping for a detailed flow chart 😊
