The moisturiser built around the acne-prone skin problem that most other formulas ignore: sebum. The Numbuzin No.1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Cream uses Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) as its hero — not in the proskin panthenol form you find in most products, but as the active end-stage compound itself — to work directly at the source of excess sebum production and breakout formation.

Pantothenic Acid is the active form of B5. Clinical evidence shows it can dissolve old and "black" sebum (the hardened, oxidised form that clogs pores), regulate sebum secretion glands, and reduce breakout frequency when used consistently. Numbuzin claims a 37.41% reduction in excess oil and a 62.22% reduction in breakouts after four weeks — and independent user reviews consistently bear this out. Niacinamide supports the skin's barrier, brightens uneven post-breakout pigmentation, and adds an extra layer of pore-minimising activity. Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract (Aczero®) is a plant-derived antibacterial that fights the bacteria responsible for acne while calming inflammation. Silica absorbs immediate surface sebum for a matte, comfortable finish. Chlorella Vulgaris Extract brightens and provides antioxidant support. Centella Asiatica Extract and the full botanical complex calm existing inflammation. Alpha-Arbutin adds gentle brightening for post-acne marks. The formula claims 130-hour continuous moisturisation.

Sul Skin note: A genuinely specialised cream for oily, acne-prone, and breakout-prone skin — one of the few moisturisers that addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
