I have a tube of this. I had better start using it.

I'm using the aplb gultathione and niacinamide cream. It also contains loads of centella concentrate. Amazing results. Incredibly calming. Beautiful glowing finish. Moisturizing enough for even my 43 year old dry skin, but still light in texture. Very inexpensive. I highly recommend it.

Hi Kelly, I found you about 2 weeks ago and have been binge watching all of your videos! You're a great KZreadr! You're so knowledgeable about k-beauty skincare, and I'm thrilled about that bc that's all I use, and it's hard to find a KZreadr that is like you. Most of them talk about Western brands of skincare and do unboxings, and that's it. I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work that you put into all of your videos! So happy to have found you!

Thank you!!!! I just ordered the Numbuzin #5 serum!!! Yay I hope it works for my freckles and sun spots lol 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

I've been loving the Numbuzin serum with the VT Reedle 100. I only use the combo a couple of times a week but I'm definitely noticing a difference.

Definitely gonna try those Numbuzin Toner and Serum, in the morning with my TO Resveratrol3%Ferulic3% serum before Sunscreen :)

Thanks! I'm using both the Some by Mi eye serum and the Numbuzin no.5 Vitamin Serum. Their toner sounds so great, but I have really been wanting to get the Indie Lee CoQ10 toner for the longest time, even though it's a little pricey...

Always love to see you ❤️

So helpful! Thank you!

The Numuzin 5 serum is a favourite, I have bought it a few times. I hope the toner stocks in Yesstyle and Stylevana as well, I saw a lot of Japanese youtubers talk about it so I really want to try it.

I had a pretty good result with Naturium tranexamic serum with kojic acid. Propolis was actually nice too for brightening. Looking forward to opening my numbuzin no. 5 +soon😊

Thanks Kelly. I'm in Africa Sierra Leone. I just found u on KZread and I love your channel very much. I love k beauty products although it's hard to get them here. Thanks for the good ideas u are sharing. All the best ❤️

Absolutely love the ingredient list on this toner. I have been using the serum & toner pads for a few months now, and love them. I have also been using the mask as well, weekly for a few months and its def one of my favorite sheet masks! Looking forward to your experience with each! Big fan of your content girlie..good work!❤️

I am using Naturium Vitamin C that contains glutathione. It’s a good one serum, I have dry and sensitive skin and my skin loves this serum since day one, and I love it too ❤

Great Video Kelly

P Calm sunscreen has glutathione in it, and has an elegant texture

Great video as usual! The n.5+ line really attracts me, I think the toner would suit my oily, acne prone skin better than the serum (seems too moisturizing for the morning routine and night is for exfoliation and retinal). But then again haruharu wonder 4% txn dark spot serum seems a good match, so hard to decide 😅

Hi Kelly, I always enjoy your contents😊 I would love to have your take on K-beauuty products featuring Idebenone and DMAE🙏

I started using K-beauty skincare less than a year ago. It has been a lovely journey with every product only making my skin one step better. But the hero product that addressed the issues that I had was numbuzin no5+vitamin concentrate serum. I just love it. I had not heard of the toner. Thinking of adding it, thank you. I was never one for toner pads.

Kelly, BODY CARE next? I don't see much, let alone affordable. You'll find the occasional Vit C lotion of unknown efficacy, Exfoliating lotion, Retinol LOTION.. I can only wear so many lotions! Plus SPF! GIVE ME A TONER & SERUM OR MULTITASKER! Lol 😂 I ❤ the Topicals Slather for Body: Hydration+ Mild Moisture & Retinol PLUS an Exfoliant to drive everything deep?!😍 (I ❤ Urea). Low % Retinol is fine if you can drive it deep with AHA and *wet* skin.. right? 😂 Feels gorgeous. Just too expensive for more than once a week. Not for sensitive skin. I ❤ the Village11Factory AHA 12% Lotion.. feels AMAZING. 🥰 But oh boy do I need a Large affordable Essence. Post shower, my body is dry & DEHYDRATED before I can put lotion over a third of it. 🥵 Essence & toners are so much faster and WHAT A RELIEF! Even FACIAL SKINCARE products on the BODY! I would 💕LOVE💕 a list of large volume Essences/Toners, Serums, Lotions & multitasking products.. That are SO AFFORDABLE, we can buy them for the BODY. Example: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner. $8 & large volume! I'm interested in APLB Glutathione Niacinamide BODY Lotion; its affordable and large Volume. You know.. itd just everything is via a lotion. This one looks thin viscosity so maybe I can layer, but I tell ya! I can't keep up with putting body lotion on both AM&PM! 😅 That said, an actual multi targeted routine would make me feel like a QUEEN! 🤩 Gotta compensate: Body Retinols are low percentage or undisclosed. The few brands that up their game know the bar is low already, it won't take much to impress, & they can charge a pretty penny. Necessaire, Glytone for examples. Affordable are Gold Bond Retinol with Urea & amazing ingredients but no percentage disclosed. Versed and Necessaire are both 0.1%- Why lower percentage than body? La Roche Posay is great.. but Im 35 with dry, dehydrated skin that has been aging quickly because I cant give it the care it needs. Btw, Eucerin Skin Calming Body Wash doesn't get enough HYPE! Oil cleanser for wet skin with Omegas, helps gently desquamate dead skin without stripping. Affordable, literally changed my life & itchy skin. ❤

Great topic. I'm going to have to give the Numbuzin #5 toner a try. I first became a fan of glutathione when I tried the Allies of Skin VC 20% serum. Loved the results--the price not so much. So glad to see some affordable alternatives.

Terrific video, I've always appreciated the in depth research you do on the various ingredients. I listen to a number of "lotions and potions " channels and no one else comes even close to doing this as well as you, so thank you. When it comes to the Numbuzin serum and the toner, it would have been so helpful if you'd made it a point to thoroughly differentiate them. I've listened to those two segments twice now, and I don't know/ can't tell much of a difference. What are the important things that are missing from one, but not the other? What are the important ingredients, in one but not the other? How can we tell which is more suited to the problems we have and the results we're looking for? Thank you.

Learned a lot from this video, Kelly. Thank you for the science lesson behind the formulas. A couple piqued my interest. I hate waiting for them to arrive from overseas, but I am so glad we can have access to these products jam packed with skincare ingredients.

I've been using Paula's Choice 25% Vitamin C serum with glutathione for about a month twice a day. It's a nice serum and doesn't irritate my skin like ascorbic acid does. I've been using tranexamic acid for a few years in my tretinoin formula and I've not found it lightens my sun damaged hyperpigmentation nor my melasma. I've also tried it in popular cosmetic skin lightening products and received no lightening. I hear it might work better on post acne dark marks.

Thanks!

I usually use the isntree green tea fresh toner + Neogen essence in the AM with my vitamin C… but I think I will move the Neogen to nighttime with my tretinoin and pair this toner with my Vitamin C + the isntree to boost the antioxidant in my AM! 🎉 Do you think I can layer the green tea toner with this one as it’s viscous?

Excellent video. I have the numbuzin 5 serum. What are you thoughts on Mira and Alice's positions on peptides , ie. Not enough peer reviewed studies to make any claims other than hydrators ?

@KellyDriscoll

3 ай бұрын

I'm more of a believer in personal results, myself and many other people have had a lot of success with peptides so while the studies can be taken with a grain of salt we will never know unless we try them ourselves. It's also important to understand that the cosmetic use of certain ingredients is lacking in funding for independent (non-manufacturer sponsored) studies. We actually don't know a lot about so many ingredients outside of tretinoin/retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, AHA and BHA.

@@KellyDriscoll I think what we want to know if peptides are carrier, signaling what are they doing at the cellular level. I believe the only truth we have on copper is it's ability in the wound healing cascade. Ie use after medical micro needling.

Numbuzin no 5 toner - does it have a scent? I bought their no 3 toner and it was money down the drain - instant disappointment when opened the bottle. Such a heavy perfume scent. :( Very interested to find out if no 5 is fragrance free??

The Mary&May eye cream. I ordered one and got one in their blackberry&idabenone serum (which I love) duo pack. So I have now 2 of those tubes... unfortunately... I really do not like the scent. Why would I want to put that strongly scented product so near my eyeballs? :(( I do not know if it is the scent or the cream itself, but my eyes start to sting after a while and water. And I have 2 tubes :(( I very much like their serums - have tried several and the idabenone&blackberry serum is wonderful - have bought it several times. But their lotion, eye cream, sheet masks (30pack) - they are all strongly scented. I have a hate and love relationship with this brand.

@KellyDriscoll

Results will depend on what they're working to brighten, the length of testing and other factors (including the use of reliable sunscreen/protection). So it's really impossible to say why someone wouldn't see results. It's also massively important to understand that not all skincare works for all people, not all experiences (while still 100% valid) will mirror our own experiences. The line definitely works to brighten dull skin, PIH, and dark spots. My experience hasn't shown effects for some sun damage but I also haven't used it long enough to confidently report on that.

@paulayarbrough6930

Hi. It is worth trying. Give yourself a month and take pictures. In my case, it is certainly fading sunspots and PIH which did not respond to any other topical application.
