For skin that won't take makeup.
Rough, slightly bumpy skin is not a pore problem or a spot problem - and exfoliating harder usually makes it worse. A high concentration of rice and yeast ferment softens the surface instead, which is why base makeup starts sitting properly within a couple of weeks.

How it feels
Slightly viscous, closer to an essence than a serum. It sinks in leaving skin noticeably softer to the touch rather than tight.
Key ingredients
Rice Ferment
The bulk of the formula. Fermentation breaks rice starches into smaller fragments the skin takes up more readily than a raw extract.
Yeast Ferment
Works alongside the rice on surface smoothness - the pairing Korean formulations reach for when the concern is texture rather than tone.
Panthenol
Provitamin B5, keeping a daily-use serum comfortable on skin that is often already over-exfoliated.
About the product
Numbuzin's No.3 Skin Softening Serum addresses the concern people struggle most to name: skin that is not spotty, not lined, but rough enough that makeup refuses to sit properly.
The instinctive response is to exfoliate harder, and it is usually wrong. Rough, slightly bumpy texture often follows over-exfoliation rather than preceding it, and adding another acid compounds the problem. This serum takes the opposite approach, using a high concentration of rice ferment and yeast ferment to soften the surface without removing anything.
Fermentation breaks the rice starches into smaller fragments than a raw extract, which is why fermented rice appears so consistently in Korean formulations aimed at texture rather than tone. Panthenol supports skin that has often been through a stretch of over-exfoliation before arriving here.
Use morning and night after cleansing, before moisturiser. It contains no acids, so it can be used alongside a retinoid or exfoliant rather than instead of one. Most people notice base makeup sitting better within two to three weeks.
Why we stock it
The complaint we hear most is not about spots or lines - it is that makeup will not sit properly. That is a texture problem, and this is the serum that addresses it directly rather than by exfoliating harder.

Frequently asked questions
Does it exfoliate?
No, and that is deliberate. It softens the surface with ferments rather than removing it with acids, which is what makes it safe to use daily and alongside an exfoliant.
Will it help my makeup sit better?
That is the most common reason people buy it. Most notice a difference in how base makeup sits within two to three weeks.
Can I use it with acids or retinol?
Yes. It contains no actives that conflict, and it is often used specifically to repair texture damaged by over-exfoliation.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes - it is an essence texture rather than a rich one, and adds no oil. It suits any skin type where the concern is surface roughness.
