Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

Here's what our community thinks
Numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum 47 ingredients
This serum is one of the best all-round anti-oxidant and dark spot serums containing:
- vitamin c
- Glutathion!!
- 5% niacinamide
- Q10
- Alpha Arbutin
(Unfortunately they removed TXA)
Skin type: combi acne prone
This is not just a dark spot serum, its a perfect anti-oxidant serum in the morning. Glutathion is a killer ingredient and the concentration of Vit C is low.
My acne Show more
This is an okay serum for brightening. I have dry, eczema and rosacea skin and didn’t have any issues with breakouts or irritation BUT I didn’t see any big improvement either and used for about 3 months. I found that it left a slightly tacky feeling no matter how long I left between steps in my routine. No smells or fragrances so that was also a plus.

So slimy and soothing! Very moisturizing! I can literally feel its going deep into the pores bc its liquid
i wanted to try this to soothe my acne but this just broke me out. so i think it’s safe to say my skin doesn’t like mung bean !! hopefully my skin likes the centella asiatica essence more 🥹
