Review of Numbuzin 5 Serum
Wanted to try this serum out after hearing some good reviews - for context, I have sensitive, dry, somewhat acne prone skin. I have an oily t-zone and struggle with some hyperpigmentation resulting from past breakouts, and deal with texture in the form of pores and congestion.
My hope with this product was that I could even my complexion and lighten my dark spots. I patch tested on my neck and my forearm, and all seemed well.
I used it for a little less than a week, applying it to lightly damp skin after cleansing and then layering my usual moisturizer on top. Immediately I saw the development of a few blemishes, which weren’t restricted to my typical breakout areas.
However, I kept using it in case something else was responsible (I.e. period, stress, diet).
The blemishes persisted! Around day five I decided to quit using the serum and instead chose to go back to my precious Finacea.. and after two days, the blemishes are calming down significantly!
To the serum’s credit, it did feel really nice while on the skin. It didn’t sting or itch or anything, and despite the blemishes I felt that it made me look quite radiant for the first day or two. However, before I decided to call it quits, I did notice a bit of redness around my nose..
I’m going to give it to my mom to try out, as she has hardier skin than I and I think she could get some good use out of this.
So, how does my experience compare to yours?
