Teaching How to Count – Numbuzin K-Beauty: What do the Numbers mean?

Numbuzin launched onto the skincare scene in 2019, promising innovative and new ways to form your skincare routine. They launched their numbers – which placed a single skin concern into a number. Although, they promised this would simplify skincare forever – what do the dang numbers mean? Let us break it down for you so you can pick out your new, Numbuzin favorites!

The first thing to note as a newbie to Numbuzin’s line-up is that their original line-up has gone through several changes. They’ve expanded their original products to include far more and originally, their skincare range was designed for 5 main skin types:

 

Their original 5 intended lines included: 
No.1 - Dry skin 
No.2 - Sensitive skin 
No.3 - Combination skin 
No.4 - Oily skin 
No.5 - Acne-prone skin 

Numbuzin Original Serum Line Up 1-9

Of course, they expanded to 9 as skin types are more complicated than just in the basic types. They altered their lines to address specific skin concerns and even moved their original No.1 serum to line 8 instead as they added lines specifically to address texture, aging and more. So read on to find out a little about each line and their top products – so you can feel more confident in delving into Numbuzin’s products. 

 

Even Numbuzin themselves do not recommend buying from a single line, but rather to individually select products that fit into your skincare routine well on their own. The numbers just act as a guide to put similar-type products together. 

What Do the Numbuzin Numbers Mean?

No.1 Line - Soothing

Designed for dehydrated, damaged and irritated skin. Designed with gentle, hydrating molecules such as panthenol (Vitamin B5), hyaluronic acid and refreshing centella asciatica. It’s a series designed to gently calm with simple, healthy ingredients to reduce redness and calm irritation. The Pantothenic lines are liked for their deeper, refreshing hydration and the cleansing oil is prided on its ability to remove water-proof make-up and deeper residue in a quick swipe.

 

Ideal skin type: dry or dehydrated skin

No.1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Cream 80ml
No.1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Serum 50ml
No.1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil 200ml

No.2 Plumping

Designed to plump and deeply nourish skin with as much food as possible – mixed with high-concentrations of amino acids to promote collagen production, soothing allantoin, a toner made from hot spring water and a coconut-based cleanser. A brand new edition to the No.2 line is their Rose PDRN products – which have been popping off on social media.

 

Ideal skin type: dehydrated skin with fine lines.

No.2 Rose PDRN Collagen 2x Plumping Serum 30ml
No.2 Protein 43% Creamy Serum
No.2 Rose PDRN Overnight Collagen Mask

No.3 Texturing

This line is all about texture – about smoothing pores, refreshing skin tone and imparting glow. With their famous glowing toner fueled by 50 fermented ingredients to impart a deep, nourishing glow and their Skin Softening Serum which utilizes bifida ferment and galactomyces for a deep glow and reducing pores.

 

Ideal skin type: textured skin, rough skin, large pores

No.3 Skin Softening Serum 50ml
No.3 Blue Bio-Retinol Pore Refining Serum 30ml
No.3 Tingle-Pore Softening Sheet Mask

No.4 Pore Care

This line works to form uniform, smooth skin (battling both pores and fine lines alike). This line is punctuated by their collagen 73% Pudding serum – which sinks deeply into skin for a massive plumping boost. Also from their No.4 collection is their famous Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad – which contains peeling PHA and LHA, mixed with hydrating glycerin, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate to deeply cleanse and boost pores (to make you as smooth as a boiled egg).

 

Ideal skin: Oily, large pores

No.4 Ceramide AHA Glazed Skin Prep Serum 30ml
No.4 Pore Zero Peeled Egg Toner Pad (70ea)
No.4 Icy Soothing Sheet Mask Pack

No.5 Blemishes and Acne

This is one of the most famous lines to Numbuzin – as acne is common and an endless struggle for those of us suffering from it. Numbuzin has created high-concentration vitamin serums, pads and their famous Goodbye Blemish Serum to refresh skin tone, reduce skin pigment to create even skin tone and say goodbye to blemishes for good. Their goodbye blemish serum is ideal to reduce active acne (although has had little luck in reducing dark spots). For that, Numbuzin created their No.5 Vitamin Concentrated serum – which has a tone-up effect on your whole face, imparts a soothing glow and removes long-lasting pigmented scars and blemishes.

 

Ideal skin type: Combination, acne-prone 

No.5 Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad
No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum 30ml
No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum 30ml

No.6 Hydration

The only Numbuzin product on the market for No.6 currently, is their No.6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum – which imparts pure hydration for dry skin. With 63% glacial water, mixed with hydrating glycerin, herbal healing extracts from the Chinaberry tree, along with aloe vera extracts, turmeric and niacinamide to brighten and even skin tone whilst imparting a deep boost of moisture. 
 
Ideal skin type: Dry skin, dehydrated skin

No.6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum 50ml

Top Product in No.6 Line:
No.6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum 50ml

No.7 Irritated

The No.7 line contains a cocktail of soothing, herbal ingredients dispensed into a single serum– designed to relieve redness, irritation and flaky skin. With a relaxing mixture of noni (Morinda citrifolia) to heal pain and inflammation, mixed with heartleaf, centella and mugwort this green serum is fragrance-free, refreshing and absorbs quickly to relay a deep hydration to the user. If your skin is in need of calming – this is the line for you. 

 

Ideal skin: sensitive, irritated, redness

No.7 Mild Green Soothing Serum

Top Product in No.7 Line:
No.7 Mild Green Soothing Serum
 

No.8 Microbiome Protection

Similar to No.7, this line is designed to help soothe irritated and sensitive skin. However, it contains more simplified ingredients that help soothe your natural skin biome to produce glossier, healthier skin. This was first punctuated by their No.8 Fine Cica serum – contains centella asciatica and hyaluronic acid, mixed with calming panthenol to help refresh and cool your skin barrier. 

 

They also moved one of their first products (No.8 Glossy Essence Serum) which was originally their No.1 serum – due to its 74% Lilyturf extract which deeply hydrates and repairs natural skin barrier.

 

Ideal skin type: irritated or damaged skin 

No.8 Fine Cica Serum
No.8 Glossy Essence Serum 50ml

Top Products in the No.8 Line include: 
No.8 Fine Cica Serum 
No.8 Glossy Essence Serum 50ml

No.9 De-Aging

This is the newest and boldest Numbuzin line – with a mass of products that contain high levels of revitalizing and repairing ingredients to help reduce fine lines, lift skin and bring new life and youth to your face. Many of their products contain NAD+, which is a vital enzyme in your cells to regenerate and restores anti-aging pathways. This revolves around their No.9 NAD+ Bio lifting-Sil essence, which also combines revitalizing glutathione with brightening vitamin C and a whopping 50 peptides to boost natural skin proteins and restore collagen production

 

They’ve paired this essence into a complete, lifting face mask (available in a pack of 4 – No.9 NAD Bio Lifting Full Cover Facial Mask) as well as an eye cream and under eye patches. 

 

Ideal skin: aging, fine lines, wrinkles 

No.9 NAD Bio Lifting Essence 50ml
No.9 NAD Collagen Under Eye Patches 5ea
No.9 NAD Bio Lifting Full Cover Facial Mask Pack

So, now you know the Numbuzin No. Line up so far! As they're a brand new company, still finding their ideal formulations, products and general brand - there's likely to be more changes on the horizon, revamping as trends in skincare change.

The ideal way to find your favourite Numbuzin, however, is to focus less on the numbers and more on what you hope to achieveand what ingredients you love.
