Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (no ethanol/denat.; no haram animal-derived ingredients detected). / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

Feeling like your skin isn't as firm or bouncy as it used to be? This serum is designed to tackle loss of elasticity and fine lines, delivering a concentrated dose of collagen and hyaluronic acid for a visibly plumper, smoother appearance.

• Texture: A unique, dense pudding-like gel that melts into the skin.
• Primary Benefit: Improves skin elasticity and provides deep, lasting hydration.
• Key Ingredients: 73% Collagen Extract, 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Niacinamide, Adenosine.
• Best For: Normal, Combination, Dry, and Mature skin types concerned with sagging, fine lines, or dehydration.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Serum: Dispense 2-3 pumps of the No.4 Pudding Serum and gently pat it onto your face and neck.
3. Seal & Protect: Follow with your favourite moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM) to lock in the benefits.

Note: Already own a similar serum? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Gently wash your face.
2. (Optional) Hydrating Toner: Apply a light toner for an extra layer of moisture.
3. No.4 Pudding Serum: Apply 2-3 pumps to plump and firm the skin.
4. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). This is essential to protect your skin's collagen.

Wait Times: Allow the serum 1-2 minutes to absorb before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. No.4 Pudding Serum: Apply 2-3 pumps to support overnight skin repair and elasticity.
3. Moisturiser: Seal everything in with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

• Amount: 2-3 pumps for the entire face and neck.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both AM and PM.
• Method: Gently spread across the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption. The pudding texture melts upon contact.
• Wait Times: Allow 1-2 minutes for it to absorb before applying your next step (moisturiser or sunscreen). This helps prevent pilling under makeup.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling):

Because of its unique texture, it's important to let this serum fully absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen. Patting, rather than rubbing, your base makeup on top can also help ensure a smooth finish.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Patch testing before first use is recommended.

As a hydrating and firming serum, the No.4 Collagen Serum can be used daily without conflict.

• Daily Use: Apply in your AM routine before sunscreen and in your PM routine before moisturiser.

If using with other actives:

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Retinoid Night
  • Tue: No.4 Serum + Soothing Moisturiser
  • Wed: Exfoliating Acid Night (AHA/BHA)
  • Thu: No.4 Serum + Soothing Moisturiser
  • Fri: Retinoid Night
  • Sat: No.4 Serum + Sleeping Pack
  • Sun: Soothing Night (No strong actives)

Rule: Always listen to your skin. If you experience irritation, reduce the frequency of strong actives and focus on hydration with the No.4 serum.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, plump, and has a dewy glow. The pudding texture provides a smooth, moisturised canvas.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel bouncier and more supple. Fine lines caused by dehydration appear diminished.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin elasticity and firmness may show visible improvement. The complexion appears healthier and more resilient.

Individual results vary. Consistent daily use and sun protection are key to achieving the best results.

Why use a serum with collagen-supporting peptides, NOT just rely on collagen creams alone?

Topical collagen itself is a great moisturiser; its molecules are large and hydrate the skin's surface. However, this serum goes further. It includes powerful peptides like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. These small protein fragments can penetrate the skin and signal it to produce its own, new collagen. This provides a deeper, more structural approach to improving firmness and elasticity, rather than just surface-level hydration.

• Works Well With: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and most moisturisers. It's an excellent buffer to use in routines with potentially irritating actives.
• Use Carefully With: Strong direct acids (AHA/BHA) or high-strength retinoids. While not a direct conflict, layering too many products can sometimes lead to pilling or reduced absorption. Best practice is to alternate nights between this serum and strong exfoliants/retinoids.
• Avoid On: Broken or irritated skin.

• Excellent For: Dry, Mature, Normal, and Dehydrated skin types looking for a boost in firmness and hydration.
• Good For: Combination skin, especially when applied to drier areas or used as a one-step hydrator in humid weather.
• Use with Caution: Very oily and acne-prone skin types may find the texture a bit rich for daytime use, though it can work well as a night treatment. Always patch test.

• EU Allergens: The specific components of the fragrance are not disclosed by the brand, so the presence of EU allergens cannot be verified.
• Botanicals: Contains Rose Extract and Grape Seed Extract.

A patch test is always recommended for sensitive skin due to the presence of fragrance.

Who should use it?

This serum is suitable for adults of all ages concerned with signs of aging, dehydration, and loss of firmness.

Who should use it with caution?

Individuals with very oily or acne-prone skin should introduce it carefully, perhaps as a night treatment first, to ensure it does not feel too heavy. Those with known sensitivities to fragrance should perform a patch test.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:

The formula does not contain strong actives like retinoids that are contraindicated during pregnancy. However, it's always best to consult with a doctor before introducing new products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours.
3. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your full face.

• Texture: A unique, thick, pudding-like gel that has a "bouncy" memory foam consistency in the jar.
• Finish: It melts into a watery serum upon application, absorbing without stickiness and leaving a plump, dewy, and hydrated finish.
• Scent: A very light, fresh scent.
• pH: Approximately 6.46. This is within the skin's normal healthy range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Glyceryl Stearate and Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, which may be potential triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: Product is "pilling" or rolling into little balls.
  • Fix: You might be using too much product or not allowing enough time for it to absorb. Use a smaller amount (2 pumps) and wait a full 1-2 minutes before applying your next layer. Patting, instead of rubbing, your sunscreen or makeup on top can also help.
• Issue: Feels a bit heavy or tacky on my oily skin.
  • Fix: Try using it only in your PM routine. For AM, you can skip a separate moisturiser and go straight to sunscreen if the serum provides enough hydration.
• Issue: Not seeing results after 2 weeks.
  • Fix: Improving skin elasticity and firmness is a long-term process. Give the product at least 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use. Also, ensure you are wearing sunscreen every single day, as UV damage is the primary cause of collagen breakdown and will counteract the serum's benefits.

• Humid Summers: The pudding-to-serum texture is surprisingly suitable for humidity. For combination or normal skin, it can feel hydrating enough to be used as a single step under sunscreen in the morning, replacing a traditional moisturiser.
• Drier 'Winter' / Air-Conditioning: During cooler months or if you spend a lot of time in AC, this serum provides an excellent hydrating layer. Apply it before a richer cream to combat the drying effects of the environment and lock in moisture.
• Sun Exposure: As a potent hydrating and repairing serum, it's a great product to use at night to help skin recover after a day in the Mauritian sun.

However, if your main concern is different, consider these alternatives from our catalog:

• For More Potent Wrinkle Reduction: The Ordinary RETINOL 1% IN SQUALANE 30ML — Choose this if you want to target wrinkles more aggressively with a high-strength retinoid. Retinol accelerates cell turnover and is a gold standard for anti-aging.
• For Soothing & Calming Sensitive Skin: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE 30ML — Choose this if your main concern is redness, irritation, or sensitivity. It focuses on calming the skin barrier over intensive firming.
• For Brightening Dark Spots & PIH: AXIS-Y DARK SPOT CORRECTING GLOW SERUM 50ML — Choose this if uneven skin tone and post-acne marks are a greater priority than sagging. It uses Niacinamide and other brightening agents to target hyperpigmentation.
• For Pure, Lightweight Hydration: Torriden DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum 50ml — Choose this if you have oily or combination skin and need a simple, watery-light serum focused purely on hydration without the richer, firming feel of collagen.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable firming or hydrating serum at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Format: 50ml bottle with a hygienic pump dispenser, which prevents contamination and dispenses a consistent amount of product.
• Packaging Material: Sturdy plastic bottle and pump.
• Recyclability: Please check with local Mauritian recycling guidelines for plastic (Type 7/Other) disposal. Ensure the bottle is empty and rinsed.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. Do not store it in your car.

"I JUST picked up...the Numbuzin #4 serum bc I wanted a step between my more watery toners/serums and my moisturizer... It's called Collagen Pudding and...that's enough for me haha...It's exactly the texture I wanted. It's definitely giving hydration, and I feel like my skin has some plumpness... I have sensitive skin as well, and so far this hasn't caused me any problems or irritation."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025-04)

A YesStyle reviewer praises its plumping effect: "My skin feels so much more elastic and bouncy after using this for a few weeks. The pudding texture is so fun and it sinks in without being sticky. It gives a really nice glow under my makeup."
- Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-11)

Fair Caveat: "I have combination skin... I feel like it's a little heavy. I think this product will break me out eventually however it's really moisturizing and thick in texture... not sure I'll repurchase it."
- iHerb customer review (2025-07)

Numbuzin is a popular South Korean skincare brand with a straightforward philosophy: "What's Your Number?". Instead of confusing product names, they number their products to correspond to specific skin concerns, making it easy for customers to find the exact solution they need. They focus on creating effective, high-quality formulations to address real skin problems, from texture and pores to aging and dehydration.

• Collagen: A protein that acts as a building block for skin. Topically, collagen extracts are excellent humectants, meaning they draw moisture to the skin to provide hydration and a temporary plumping effect.
• Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that act as messengers, signaling skin cells to perform functions like building more collagen.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a skin-soothing and restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and is certified as a functional ingredient by the MFDS.
• Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3, this is a multi-tasking ingredient that helps with brightening, pore appearance, barrier function, and oil regulation.
• MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety): The South Korean government agency that regulates food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. "Functional Cosmetics" are those certified by the MFDS to have specific effects, such as wrinkle improvement or brightening.
• PAO (Period After Opening): An icon on the packaging shaped like an open jar with a number (e.g., "12M"), indicating how many months the product is safe to use after being opened.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic Korean beauty. We carefully curate our selection, ensuring every product is 100% genuine and sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors in South Korea. Our promise is to provide you with effective, safe, and trustworthy skincare solutions to meet your needs in the Mauritian climate.

1. Does topical collagen really work for wrinkles?

Topical collagen itself is a fantastic moisturising ingredient that hydrates and plumps the skin's surface, which can temporarily make fine lines less visible. This serum, however, also contains peptides and adenosine, which work deeper to signal your skin to produce its own new collagen, leading to more structural and long-term improvements in firmness.

2. Can I use this serum with my retinol or vitamin C?

Yes. This serum is very compatible. It can be a great hydrating and soothing product to use alongside potentially irritating actives. For best results, you might use your Vitamin C serum in the morning, followed by this serum and SPF. At night, you could apply this serum before or after your retinol (or on alternate nights) to help buffer and hydrate the skin.

3. Is it suitable for oily, acne-prone skin?

It can be. While some users with very oily skin find it a bit rich for daytime, its non-comedogenic formula is generally safe. It works well as a night treatment for oily skin types needing anti-aging benefits without a heavy cream. As always, patch testing is the best way to know for sure.

4. Is the "pudding" texture sticky?

No. The unique texture looks thick in the jar, but it melts into a lightweight, watery serum on contact with your skin. It absorbs well without leaving a sticky or greasy residue, leaving the skin feeling plump and hydrated.

Individuals with concerns about skin elasticity, fine lines, and dehydration who enjoy a unique, hydrating texture.
