My face felt like a stale saltine cracker. Then I dumped this on it.
It’s a toner-serum hybrid that plumps dehydrated skin without a single sticky drop — which is basically a skincare miracle. Absorbs in under 10 seconds.
It’s a fermented toner-serum from Numbuzin — $23 for 150ml. The claim that made me buy it? “Skin softening.” I was skeptical. My skin isn’t soft. It’s a desert.
Fermented Rice Bran Water
Replaces regular toner. Thicker than water but somehow disappears.
5-layer Hyaluronic Acid
Not the gimmicky kind — this actually sinks in instead of sitting on top.
No Scent
Literally smells like nothing. Thank god.

It’s basically fermented rice water on steroids. The yeast break things down so your skin can actually use it — not just stare at it.

It feels like water — but not. Slightly silky. You pat it in and it’s gone. No film. No waiting. Just… hydrated skin. I did my whole routine in 45 seconds flat.
Week 3: my forehead stopped flaking. That never happens. The weird part? I actually look forward to using it. It’s not a chore.

Fine lines around my mouth? Still there. But my skin doesn’t feel like paper anymore. It bounces back. That’s a win.

If your skin is dry and you’re tired of layering ten things, just get this one. It’s the shortcut.
