Review

Results you may expect from using Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈25.7%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Centella Asiatica Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Centella Asiatica Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈39.2%), Houttuynia Cordata Extract (est. ≈28.1%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈25.7%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈39.2%), Houttuynia Cordata Extract (est. ≈28.1%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈25.7%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
