Numbuzin No.3 Skin Softening Serum (50ml)

Smoother skin, no acids needed. Rough, bumpy texture does not always need a peel. This ferment-rich serum hydrates and softens, so skin looks smoother and pores less obvious. 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.
