Every Product I’ve Emptied in 2026 (and What I’d Rebuy 👀)

"You want an ultra lightweight experience with a ton of beneficial ingredients for your skin. It really is just the best of the best. And I found myself returning into it so much. I would use it a lot more on the daily. However, I try to preserve it as long as I can just because it's not often that I'm able to find this one back in stock. However, I did purchase four bottles recently. So, I'm stocked up for a while and I definitely will be consistently using this one every single day."

My Most Repurchased Korean Skin Care Products 🧴

"I'm so obsessed with it. [...] I keep running out of this one and I keep having to repurchase it. It is so freaking good. If you're wanting, in my opinion, the ultimate Korean sunscreen experience, this is the best. I adore it. I'm going to keep repurchasing it and highly, highly recommend it. [...] As someone who has really oily skin, [...] I've repurchased it so many times and always carry it around with me wherever I go."

"It feels more hydrating than like shiny or greasy. [...] It has no scent at all. The texture feels pretty nice. It feels hydrating but not greasy. And there's literally no smell to it at all. When you're around those American sunscreens, they just [...] smell so chemically. And this literally has no smell and it feels really nice and silky. I love the anti-aging peptides. Sunscreen is the real anti-aging ingredient, [...] but it looks like we've got lots of good filters in here."

"I've got the Numbuzin No.1 Sun Essence which is 17 bucks, chemical sunscreen with five filters. [...] We've got Centella, heartleaf extract, aloe, it's wonderful, it's amazing. It has a really nice finish on it. [...] No fragrance in it and lovely finish and everything like that. Works great under foundation. Numbuzin is overall a pretty good brand, they're hit or miss occasionally but overall way more hits than misses."

Avene RetrinAL Ceramide Lipid-Replenishing Balm & Numbuzin No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence

"It's not a new product but they renamed it, so it's just a newer product packaging name of their sunscreen which is actually really quite nice and very invisible and non-greasy feeling. It feels really nice on my skin. I've been using it for the last few days and I'm really enjoying it. It just works really nice over moisturizer and vitamin C and isn't drying at all."

"So, actually, I quite like this if I had to pick a chemical sunscreen, but I'm always going to pick mineral over chemical for skin of color."

1 Year Review // Is Numbuzin still Good? Honest Review (The Best, So-so’s and The Worst)

"This is my favorite product. It literally feels like a moisturizer, it's so lightweight, the finish is not sticky at all. It's a chemical sunscreen and it can sting your eyes, but I didn't see anybody saying that. To make it really hydrating they use ten different types of hyaluronic acid, but it's not long lasting against water and friction, so if you live in a really humid climate or you're doing sports, this sunscreen isn't appropriate because it's going to wear off so quickly."

"What I like about this one is that it's not shiny. It goes on feeling really, really nice. It just feels like a lightweight skin lotion. It doesn't feel greasy, and look at that nice finish. It does have a little bit of a soft luminosity, but nothing like super duper shiny. It blends in really, really nicely. I'm not sure that the green tint really did anything as far as reducing the redness like I feel like you still see the redness here."

"But it also does include niacinamide, which, if you're also getting a lot of niacinamide in your skincare from other places, it might be over the top, too much niacinamide. I didn't find this irritating, I didn't find it particularly soothing, I didn't think that the green cast really did anything to hide any redness in my skin. For me it was just okay, and I did find it slightly drying by the end of the day. I thought it was okay but have not been reaching for it on a regular basis."

"I was really impressed with the texture and that's why it's a favorite for me and why I've been using it a lot this month. The texture is really weightless. It's one of those sunscreens that I say I forget that I'm wearing it, and that's a good thing. What I mean when I say I can't feel this sunscreen is it's not heavy."

Weightless Sunscreen? | Numbuzin no.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence Review

"I never had that problem with this sunscreen. It's super duper comfortable even when my skin is the most sensitive. [...] I was really impressed that this didn't seem to travel into my eyes, and that tends to be where stinging occurs for me. [...] I really did not experience that with this sunscreen at all, and I even worked out wearing this sunscreen quite a bit, sweating quite a bit, and I really didn't feel like it migrated into my eyes. [...] This definitely doesn't shift around on the skin."

"This just vanishes into your skin, it is truly a sunscreen that does not feel like sunscreen. It is alcohol free, fragrance free, has the perfect packaging, and does not have a white cast as you're applying it, it just sinks in and disappears. It's SPF 50 plus PA4 plus and wears beautifully under makeup. [...] The only potential drawback [...] is that it has a lot of plant based ingredients, and that doesn't work for everybody, some people need a more simple ingredients list."

"My favorite is probably their number one sunscreen, which is just for sensitive skin. Blends and creates really well. I'd say this is one of the most underrated Korean sunscreens out there. [...] A lot of people who have oily skin say this plays perfect, but it's really hydrating, really lightweight."
