Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testRich cleansing oil made from natural oils and tone-evening ingredients, effectively cleanses the skin of impurities, waterproof makeup, blackheads, and excess oil, leaving a clean, refreshed and evened out skin. Formulated with glutathione, vitamin C, and niacinamide to even out dull, uneven skin tone and fade skin discoloration.
No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Facial Spa Cleanser is a cushioning oil cleanser from Numbuzin, a brand based in Korean. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 37 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Triethylhexanoin.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Glyceryl Behenate/eicosadioate, Polyglyceryl-10 Behenate/eicosadioate and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. A few ingredients carry irritation flags, so reactive skin should patch test before using it on the whole face.
The formula contributes little or nothing on oil control, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
