For dark spots, dullness, and uneven skin tone.

A serious brightening toner pad — the upgraded "5+" version of numbuzin's already-popular No. 5 — that packs the active list of a treatment serum into a toner-pad format. The hero is 50,000ppm (5%) niacinamide, which is the well-studied concentration for visibly evening tone and fading dark spots, supported by a full vitamin-and-glutathione lineup: vitamin C (ascorbic acid and ascorbyl glucoside), vitamin E, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), coenzyme Q10, glutathione, and tranexamic acid. That's six brightening pathways in one product — typically the kind of stack you'd only see in a clinical-grade serum.

The dual-sided pad is the other piece of cleverness. One side is gauze cotton for wiping; the other side carries a jelly film essence that you press onto the skin like a mini sheet mask, holding the actives in contact with the skin for 3–5 minutes for proper absorption. Behind the brightening complex, LHA and PHA gently exfoliate, mushroom (tremella) extract holds moisture, and panthenol soothes — so the formula stays comfortable even with that many actives. Vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and free of mineral oil.

Best For: Dark spots, post-acne marks, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dullness — also a great everyday brightening step for anyone who finds standalone vitamin C serums too irritating or unstable.

Key Ingredients

Niacinamide (50,000ppm / 5%) The most well-studied brightening concentration. Fades dark spots, evens tone, refines pores, and strengthens the barrier. Glutathione and Tranexamic Acid A clinically-recognized brightening duo that targets stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and hormonal dark spots. Vitamin Complex (C, E, B6, B12, Coenzyme Q10) A multi-vitamin antioxidant stack that protects against free radical damage and supports brightening from multiple pathways. LHA and PHA A gentle dual-acid exfoliation that lifts dead skin cells and helps the brightening actives penetrate more effectively. Tremella Mushroom Extract and Panthenol A hydrating-and-soothing duo that keeps the formula comfortable, even with all the brightening actives.

How to Use

After cleansing, take one pad and place the jelly side directly on the skin (focus on areas with dark spots or uneven tone). Leave for 3–5 minutes like a mini sheet mask. Then flip the pad and use the cotton gauze side to gently wipe across the rest of your face. Use morning or evening (start every other day if you're new to brightening actives). Always follow with SPF in the morning — brightening actives plus UV exposure cancels out the work. Tip: Don't skip the jelly-side sheet-mask step — it's the difference between this pad working and just feeling refreshing. The actives need that 3–5 minutes of skin contact to penetrate properly. Use the leave-on time to apply the rest of your morning skincare to your hands, neck, or chest.
