Product details

A jar of No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Pad with its tweezers on a cream table beside glass spheres and a soaked gauze pad

Brightening pad

Double-sided pads soaked in glutathione, niacinamide and vitamins: a cotton gauze side to gently exfoliate, a jelly side to brighten.

Each square pad in numbuzin’s No.5+ jar has two faces. The 100% cotton gauze side sweeps away dead skin with mild PHA and LHA, and the glutathione jelly side lays the brightening essence onto skin. Niacinamide sits second on the list, backed by tranexamic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E, to fade the look of dark spots and even out skin tone.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Glutathione + niacinamide

    The line’s brightening pair. Niacinamide leads the formula, and glutathione, an antioxidant, works with it to fade the look of dark spots and lift dull tone.

    No. 2, 38 of 44 on the list

  • Tranexamic acid

    Targets the look of blemishes, acne marks and uneven pigment alongside niacinamide.

    No. 30 of 44 on the list

  • Vitamins C + E + Q10

    Vitamin C and a vitamin C derivative, vitamin E and coenzyme Q10: an antioxidant blend that supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

    No. 26, 28, 33, 34 of 44 on the list

  • PHA + LHA

    Two gentle exfoliants that loosen dead skin on the gauze side’s sweep, for smoother texture without a harsh scrub.

    No. 16, 29 of 44 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Gardenia fruit
  • Snow mushroom

How to use

After cleansing

  1. 1

    Pick a pad

    Lift one pad out with the included tweezers and close the lid so the rest stay soaked.

  2. 2

    Gauze side

    Wipe gently over the face with the cotton gauze side, following the skin’s texture, to clear away dead skin.

  3. 3

    Jelly side

    Flip it over and pat the glutathione jelly side onto skin to lay down the essence.

  4. 4

    Spot care

    For dark spots, rest the pad on the area for 5 to 10 minutes, then follow with serum and moisturizer.

Sweep, flip and pat for smoother texture and a clearer, more even-looking glow.

Good to know

  • Contains PHA and LHA exfoliants. Wear sunscreen during the day and go easy if your skin is already using other acids or retinoids.
  • Keep the lid closed after each use so the pads don’t dry out.
  • The jar label reads “Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad”; numbuzin also calls it the Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Pad.
  • Sold as a 180 mL jar of 70 pads with tweezers.
