Our Pick
Mediheal
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8)
Numbuzin
Numbuzin's numbered system is a clever marketing device, but the products genuinely back it up. The No.3 Skin Softening Serum became a viral hit for good reason โ it delivers visible brightening and texture refinement at a fair price. The range is still young and expanding, and some entries are stronger than others. At its best, Numbuzin offers smart formulations with a clear identity. At its weakest, the numbering system creates confusion rather than clarity.
Pros
- โ No.3 Serum is a legitimate standout product
- โ Numbered system makes the range easy to navigate
- โ Effective galactomyces-based formulations
Cons
- โ Very young brand with limited long-term track record
- โ Numbering system can feel like a marketing gimmick
- โ Quality varies across the numbered range
Mediheal
Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running โ beating more than 3,000 brands. Their sheet masks created the modern sheet mask category, and their Madecassoside Blemish Pad saw 820% year-over-year growth. If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
Pros
- โ #1 selling brand at Olive Young
- โ Clinical-grade sheet mask formulations
- โ The Madecassoside line is category-defining
- โ Affordable daily-use pricing
Cons
