The Shelf · The Best Skincare Under $25 We'd Buy at Twice the Price
numbuzin No.5+ Glutathione Vitamin Concentrated Serum, 30ml
Glutathione is on the front of the bottle, but it is the back that earned the place. Niacinamide sits third on the ingredient list, then tranexamic acid, then an ethylated vitamin C and alpha-arbutin further down, which is four of the actives this page is organised around in one twenty-dollar serum. That is the test the Dark Spot shelf sets, a named pigment-targeting reason to be here, and this one names four.
