Product details
2-week dark spot ampoule
Pure glutathione powder and a tranexamic acid ampoule, mixed fresh at first use for targeted dark spot care.
Numbuzin’s No.5 Ampoule is the intensive partner to its daily No.5+ serum. The cap holds pure glutathione powder; press it and it drops into a vitamin ampoule of sea buckthorn water, tranexamic acid and more glutathione, so the actives stay fresh until the day you start. One bottle is a two-week course for dull tone and stubborn dark spots.

Good to know
- Use within two weeks of mixing, and store it away from direct sunlight to keep it from oxidizing.
- Glutathione has a strong, pungent smell; Numbuzin says that’s normal.
- Skin irritation tested, but Numbuzin suggests mixing it with your other products at first and patch testing if your skin is sensitive. Once skin adapts, use it on its own.
- Brightening care: wear sunscreen during the day while you use it.
- For stubborn spots, Numbuzin suggests layering it over the No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Serum.
- Sold as a single 10.7 g vial.
