Numbuzin No.5 Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Toner Pads is a jar of 70 double-sided toner pads soaked in a brightening essence of niacinamide, glutathione, vitamin C and tranexamic acid, with two exfoliants. Numbuzin say it helps even skin tone and fade the look of dark spots, so this is a step for dullness and marks, not a calming pad. What it doesNiacinamide evens the look of skin tone and supports the barrier, while glutathione, ascorbic acid and tranexamic acid add brightening support. Gluconolactone (a PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (an LHA, related to BHA) are exfoliants that loosen dull surface cells, which is why we do not suggest it as a default for sensitive skin. Why we chose itWe chose it as an easy niacinamide brightening step in pad form: niacinamide is listed second, straight after water. Glutathione and vitamin C are named on the front of the box, but Numbuzin do not state how much of either it contains.

Numbuzin No.5 Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Toner Pads is a jar of 70 double-sided toner pads soaked in a brightening essence of niacinamide, glutathione, vitamin C and tranexamic acid, with two exfoliants. Numbuzin say it helps even skin tone and fade the look of dark spots, so this is a step for dullness and marks, not a calming pad.

What it does

Niacinamide evens the look of skin tone and supports the barrier, while glutathione, ascorbic acid and tranexamic acid add brightening support. Gluconolactone (a PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (an LHA, related to BHA) are exfoliants that loosen dull surface cells, which is why we do not suggest it as a default for sensitive skin.

Why we chose it

We chose it as an easy niacinamide brightening step in pad form: niacinamide is listed second, straight after water. Glutathione and vitamin C are named on the front of the box, but Numbuzin do not state how much of either it contains. Panthenol and dipotassium glycyrrhizate are there for comfort, and there is no fragrance in the listed ingredients.

Best for

  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Dark spots and uneven skin tone
  • Marks left behind after breakouts
  • Slightly rough, uneven-feeling texture

Not ideal if

  • You already use an exfoliating toner such as Green Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA: do not double up on the same evening
  • You are allergic to salicylates (aspirin): it contains capryloyl salicylic acid
  • Your skin is very sensitive, or your barrier feels sore or stings: the PHA and LHA make it a poor first choice, so calm skin first with SKIN1004 Quick Calming Pads

Key ingredients

  • Niacinamide: evens the look of tone and supports the barrier
  • Glutathione, vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbyl glucoside) and tranexamic acid: brightening support for the look of dark spots (amounts not stated)
  • Gluconolactone (PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA): surface exfoliation
  • Panthenol and tremella mushroom extract: hydration and comfort

Texture and finish

Well-soaked pads with a smooth jelly film on one side and cotton on the other, in a light essence.

Where it goes in your routine

After cleansing, before serum. Wipe the pad over your face from the centre outwards, avoiding the eye area, as the box directs; for extra care, Numbuzin suggest resting the jelly side on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes. If you are new to exfoliants, introduce it gradually, and wear sunscreen every morning.

What to expect

Skin looks fresher and feels smoother straight away. Any change in the look of dark spots and uneven tone is gradual and depends on steady use and daily sunscreen.

  • Use after cleansing, before serum, morning or evening.
  • Wipe the pad over your face from the centre outwards, avoiding the eye area, as the box directs.
  • For extra care on dull or uneven areas, rest the jelly side on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes, as Numbuzin suggest, keeping it away from the eyes.
  • Don't use it on the same evening as another exfoliating toner, or on broken or irritated skin.
  • Close the lid tightly after each use so the pads don't dry out.
  • Wear sunscreen every morning, and patch test first if your skin reacts easily.

Good to know

  • Exfoliating acids: gluconolactone (PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA)
  • No fragrance in the listed ingredients
  • Contains alcohol
  • No retinoid

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Not as a default. It contains two exfoliants, gluconolactone (a PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (an LHA), and the box lists alcohol. If your skin reacts easily or your barrier feels sore, calm it first with a soothing pad and patch test before using this one.

Will it fade my dark spots?

Numbuzin say it helps even skin tone and fade the look of dark spots. Any change is gradual and depends on steady use and daily sunscreen. It can suit marks left behind after breakouts, but it is a brightening step, not a treatment for active breakouts.

Which side of the pad do I use?

The box directs you to wipe the pad from the centre of your face outwards. For extra care, Numbuzin suggest resting the jelly side on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes, away from the eyes.

Can I use it with retinal or other exfoliants?

We would not use it on the same evening as another exfoliating toner or a retinoid, especially while your skin is getting used to either. Alternate evenings, and keep a plain moisturiser and daily sunscreen in your routine.

Does it contain fragrance or salicylates?

No fragrance is listed. It does contain capryloyl salicylic acid, so avoid it if you are allergic to salicylates (aspirin), and it lists alcohol.
