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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDull, tired-looking skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark spots and uneven skin tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarks left behind after breakouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly rough, uneven-feeling texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot ideal if\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou already use an exfoliating toner such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/beauty-of-joseon-green-plum-refreshing-toner-aha-bha-150ml\"\u003eGreen Plum Refreshing Toner: AHA + BHA\u003c\/a\u003e: do not double up on the same evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are allergic to salicylates (aspirin): it contains capryloyl salicylic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour 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 \u003ca href=\"\/products\/skin1004-madagascar-centella-quick-calming-pad-70pads\"\u003eSKIN1004 Quick Calming Pads\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiacinamide: evens the look of tone and supports the barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlutathione, vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbyl glucoside) and tranexamic acid: brightening support for the look of dark spots (amounts not stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluconolactone (PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA): surface exfoliation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanthenol and tremella mushroom extract: hydration and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell-soaked pads with a smooth jelly film on one side and cotton on the other, in a light essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes in your routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 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.
