No.3 Skin Softening Serum
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum is a lightweight, watery gel with fermented ingredients (galactomyces, bifida) that sinks in instantly without stickiness, aiming to smooth texture, minimize pores, and boost radiance over weeks. James Welsh (k-beauty specialist) used it twice daily and noticed his skin looked smoother, more even, and resilient, while Charisse Daily (professional beauty reviewer) notes it gives a glassy glow and can minimize pore appearance.
