numbuzin No.5 Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Serum

Our Verdict
Solid brightening serum with potent actives, but glutathione at just 100ppm and low Vitamin C deliver underwhelming punch for the price. Efficacy score of 4.5 reflects strong 5% niacinamide and 4% tranexamic acid for melanin inhibition, plus synergistic Vitamin C (0.2%) and arbutin, but deducts for trace glutathione (100ppm ineffective standalone) and unspecified pH potentially suboptimal for ascorbate stability; no encapsulation noted, though water-based dropper packaging preserves antioxidants well.
