Numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum is a ferment-rich serum whose first two ingredients are bifida ferment lysate and galactomyces ferment filtrate, with niacinamide and adenosine. It hydrates and softens rough, bumpy-feeling skin, so texture looks smoother and pores less obvious, with a soft, even glow. What it doesBifida ferment lysate and galactomyces ferment filtrate hydrate and condition, helping rough skin feel softer. Niacinamide supports the barrier and a more even-looking tone, while sodium hyaluronate, squalane and panthenol keep skin comfortable.
