 Hey skincare lovers! As a 30-year-old navigating the joys (and challenges!) of skincare in a hot and humid climate, I'm always on the hunt for lightweight, hydrating heroes. Recently, I stumbled upon the CHUNGMIJUNG Cactus Ampoule, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer.




Why I Was Intrigued:


Living in a place where the air feels like a constant sauna means heavy, sticky serums are a big no-no. I needed something that would quench my skin's thirst without weighing it down. The CHUNGMIJUNG Cactus Ampoule, with its promise of minimal ingredients and intense hydration, caught my eye.


What's Inside? (And Why It Matters):


This ampoule boasts a beautifully simple ingredient list, focusing on quality over quantity:


Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract: The star of the show! This cactus extract is known for its incredible hydrating properties and its ability to shield skin from environmental stressors. Perfect for fighting off the daily grime.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract & Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract: These powerhouses work together to target dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. As someone starting to see those subtle signs of aging, this was a major plus.

Licorice Root Extract: A soothing ingredient that calms inflammation. Essential for keeping my skin balanced in the heat.


My Experience:





Texture & Application: The texture is unique! It initially feels slightly like snail secretion, but don't let that deter you. It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated, not sticky. This watery texture is a dream for humid climates.

Scent: It has a noticeable cactus scent upon application, which I personally found refreshing. However, it dissipates very quickly, so it won't linger.

Hydration & Results: This ampoule delivers on its promise of intense hydration. My skin feels plump and dewy without any greasiness. I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in the evenness of my skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines.

numbuzin no 9 line Review

Hi,

Beauty lovers, I recently celebrated my 30th birthday and now that I have breathed a few decades it is about time I jump on the anti-aging bandwagon. Now the beauty market is saturated with anti-aging products promising youth, smooth skin and less fine lines but not all products perform the same . 






numbuzin (Korean skincare brand ) recently released two skincare products designed for firm skin and anti-aging and I wanted to understand the hype around this product so I subjected myself to two weeks of use


Now those of you who are familiar with the brand numbuzin, must be aware that the brand assigns numbers to its skincare line. The new numbuzin No. 9 line revolves around  the NAD essence and sheet mask.





What I appreciate most about the No. 9 line is its affordability. Compared to other anti-aging products in the market the ingredient list is not only unique but also incredibly budget-friendly. You're getting a powerful combination of 50 peptides and NAD without breaking the bank


Like seriously ! Who can ignore the allure of 50 peptides and NAD ? Do you know peptides are like building blocks for collagen and the most popular ingredient used for anti aging while NAD is popular for cellular repair. So, the concoction containing both of these power ingredients in one line? Definitely piqued my interest.



numbuzin No.9 NAD+ BIO Lifting-sil Essence


Thread-like elastic essence that plumps, firms, and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for rejuvenated, youthful-looking skin. Formulated with NAD, an anti-aging ingredient that enhances cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and promote skin repair along with 50 types of peptides to plump and firm the skin.







Starting with packaging I love the metallic looking silver purple aesthetics of the bottle. It totally stands out in the sea of skincare bottles on my vanity. I also love the airless pump mechanism and the marking on the side of the bottle which give me a fair idea how close i am to finishing up the product.





The texture of this essence is viscous and has a stringy/stretchy feel to it. It is not heavy or tacky and feels quite pleasant on the skin. One pump is enough to cover the whole face. 

When I started with this essence I had a lot of acne scars and tired looking under eye areas that needed help . After two weeks off use. My skin looks plump, hydrated and the acne has healed a lot  thanks to the high-performing ingredients’ . I've also noticed  steady improvement in skin firmness after consistent use. Fine lines around my mouth and eyes seem a bit softened, and my overall skin tone looks brighter. This has now become a solid addition to my skincare routine. The fact that it targets cell turnover and collagen production is a huge plus, especially for aging skin.


numbuzin No.9 NAD+ BIO Lifting-sil Full Face Mask


Lifting sheet mask featuring a top and bottom section: the both top and bottom mask contains NAD+ BIO capsules, the bottom mask is infused with dissolvable PLA threads and top part has more serum, that helps enhance defined jawline and gives radiant, plump skin.The additional lifting band further enhances the lifting effect by tightening and sculpting the face.Same as the essence, the sheet mask also contains NAD+ and 50 peptides but is further enhanced with Hydrolyzed collagen and adenosine to effectively target wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity







Now I have been using sheet masks for almost a decade but this is my first time using a sheet mask that targets a variety of skin concerns, like anti-aging, puffy and sagging skin, dehydrated and lackluster skin’. The two-part design is genius. The top part contains a generously soaked half face sheet mask with NAD+ capsules. The milky textures feel nourishing and hydrating. The bottom part, with the dissolvable PLA threads, is the real star. It adheres snugly to the jawline and neck, and you can feel a gentle tightening sensation. Now it is worth mentioning here that  the lower mask has 2 different slits for the ear, so you can have 2 different lifting intensities






Combined with the included lifting band, it really does create a noticeable lifting effect, especially along my jawline and jowls. My skin felt plump and firm after use, and the effects lasted for a decent amount of time. I do think that this is a great product for an event where you want to look your best.


This is a great option for people who are looking for a non-invasive way to improve the appearance of their jawline. I am saving this for an upcoming event where I want to look my best . The numbuzin No.9 line is definitely worth considering. It’s become a staple in my routine, and I’m pleased with the gradual, natural-looking results.
