Product details

A silver and violet bottle of No.9 NAD+ BIO Lifting-sil Essence on a lavender table between glossy pearls and silky ribbons of essence

Firming essence

NAD+ and 50 peptides in a silky, string-like essence for firmer, plumper-looking skin.

Numbuzin’s No.9 essence is built for skin that has started to look loose and tired. NAD+ and a long line-up of peptides target the look of fine lines and firmness, an antioxidant network helps protect skin, and the elastic, silky texture stretches into strings before it melts in with a glow.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • NAD+

    The essence’s namesake. Numbuzin uses it to support skin’s renewal so it looks plumper and firmer, with ATP alongside.

    No. 32, 34 of 120 on the list

  • 50 peptides

    A long run of peptides fills most of the second half of the list. They work on the look of fine lines and deeper wrinkles and help skin feel more elastic.

    No. 37, 72, 94, 96 of 120 on the list

  • Antioxidant network

    Vitamin E, a vitamin C peptide, glutathione, thioctic acid and ubiquinone work together to help protect skin from everyday stress.

    No. 36, 46, 48, 89, 95 of 120 on the list

  • Niacinamide + adenosine

    Niacinamide brightens dull skin and evens tone; adenosine is a classic wrinkle-care ingredient.

    No. 10, 26 of 120 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Shea butter
  • Tremella mushroom
  • Red algae oil
  • Radish root ferment
  • Red clover
  • Resveratrol

How to use

After toner, before cream

  1. 1

    Tone

    Cleanse and tone first.

  2. 2

    Dispense

    Take an appropriate amount of the essence; it stretches into silky strings.

  3. 3

    Spread

    Smooth it over the face and neck, paying attention to areas with fine lines, and pat until absorbed.

  4. 4

    Seal

    Follow with moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning.

Firmer, glowing skin

One silky step of NAD+ and peptides for skin that has started to look loose or dull.

Good to know

  • The bottle has been redesigned; the old and new packaging may arrive at random, with no change to the formula, per Numbuzin.
  • The version sold in Korea and Japan adds NMN; the formula is otherwise the same, per Numbuzin.
  • Comes in 10 mL, 30 mL and 50 mL.
