numbuzin No.1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil

What is this product?

numbuzin 1번 말끔 순삭 클렌징오일 is a 200ml rinse-off first cleanse built on corn oil, with an emulsifier at position 3 that makes the water rinse work and a short thirteen item list that contains no humectant, no acid, no alcohol and no functional-cosmetic active. The brand declares it a non-functional cosmetic outright. Fragrance is declared at the last position. Suited to oily and combination skin wanting a plain oil cleanse; the deciding objection is the undifferentiated fragrance.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it on its shelf. The printed list runs to thirteen entries, counted mechanically, which is short enough to check line by line against a personal avoidance list, and the brand prints an explicit negative regulatory declaration rather than leaving the functional-cosmetic row blank. The second differentiator is a mismatch rather than a feature: the line number files it under hydration and soothing while the label and the reported use both describe sebum removal.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 5 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 3 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
