How it works
No.3 Pore & Makeup Cleansing Balm with Green Tea and Charcoal 85g is built around Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (10, which is a green tea extract carried for its antioxidant content and light, calm feel on skin. Green tea extract is a common Korean formulation choice specifically because it layers cleanly without adding weight or fragrance. Alongside it, the formula carries Dipropylene Glycol, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As a cleansing balm, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through.
Key benefits
- Carries Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (10, which is a green tea extract carried for its antioxidant content and light, calm feel on skin.
- Carries Dipropylene Glycol, which is a humectant and solvent that helps carry the formula's other ingredients and keeps the texture from feeling tacky.
- Formulated as a cleansing balm, matched to its step in a Korean AM/PM routine rather than asked to do every job at once.
- Is the Korean-market formula from Numbuzin, with intact Korean-market batch coding rather than a US-reformulated substitute.
- Part of Numbuzin's Korean-market catalog, written and reviewed for this exact product page.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (10 is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other cleansing balm in a Korean routine does.
How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version?
Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. Numbuzin's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name.
What does Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (10 do in this formula?
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (10 is a green tea extract carried for its antioxidant content and light, calm feel on skin. Green tea extract is a common Korean formulation choice specifically because it layers cleanly without adding weight or fragrance. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Dipropylene Glycol do in this formula?
Dipropylene Glycol is a humectant and solvent that helps carry the formula's other ingredients and keeps the texture from feeling tacky. It is one of the most common supporting ingredients in Korean formulas, chosen for texture and stability rather than as an active. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
