Good to know

  • Animal-derived: contains goat milk extract and silk extract
  • No fragrance in the listed ingredients
  • No exfoliating acids and no retinoid
  • Numbuzin state it is never tested on animals

Is it an exfoliant?

No. There are no exfoliating acids, enzymes or retinoid in the listed ingredients. It smooths the feel of rough skin through ferments and hydration, so it is a good choice if peeling products don't agree with you. If you want visible resurfacing, this is not the one.

Will it shrink my pores?

No skincare changes pore structure. By softening rough texture and keeping skin hydrated, it can make pores look less obvious over steady use.

Can oily skin use it?

Yes, usually. It is a lightweight serum, and Numbuzin list oily skin alongside dry, combination and sensitive. If your skin is very oily, a light gel moisturiser over it is enough.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It can be, but it depends on your skin. There is no fragrance, acid or retinoid in the listed ingredients, and Numbuzin say it has been skin-irritation tested. Patch test first if your skin reacts easily.

Is it vegan?

No. It contains goat milk extract and silk extract. Numbuzin state it is never tested on animals. If you want a ferment serum without animal-derived ingredients, PURCELL Pixcell Biom is the one we would choose.
