How it works

No. 9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner is built around Niacinamide, which supports an even-looking skin tone and works alongside the formula's humectants to keep the surface comfortable. It is one of the most studied actives in Korean formulation for tone evenness and is gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. Alongside it, the formula carries Glycerin, Sodium Dna and Adenosine, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As a toner, 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.

Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?

This is the authentic Korean-market version of the formula, not a US-shelf substitute. Numbuzin sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.

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. Niacinamide 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 toner in a Korean routine does.

What does Niacinamide do in this formula?

Niacinamide supports an even-looking skin tone and works alongside the formula's humectants to keep the surface comfortable. It is one of the most studied actives in Korean formulation for tone evenness and is gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

What does Glycerin do in this formula?

Glycerin is the formula's core humectant, drawing in moisture and helping every other ingredient spread evenly across the skin. It sits near the top of most Korean formulas for exactly this reason: it is the base hydration layer everything else in the formula builds on. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

119 of 125 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Methylpropanediol humectant: Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
Niacinamide active: Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer solvent: PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer is a water-soluble polymer used as a humectant and solubiliser. It keeps a formula fluid and helps oils stay dispersed.
Propanediol humectant: Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Tripropylene Glycol solvent: Tripropylene Glycol is a glycol used mainly as a solvent, keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid.
Glyceryl Glucoside humectant: Glyceryl Glucoside is glycerin bound to glucose, from the resurrection plant. It is a humectant that holds water in the outer layer of skin.
Xylitylglucoside humectant: Xylitylglucoside is a sugar-derived humectant, the third member of the xylitol blend. Together the three hold water in the outer layer for longer than any of them does alone.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil emulsifier: PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the most used solubiliser in clear toners and micellar waters. It holds small amounts of oil and fragrance in solution without turning the formula cloudy.
Anhydroxylitol humectant: Anhydroxylitol is a xylitol derivative used as a humectant. It is almost always part of the xylitol, anhydroxylitol and xylitylglucoside blend sold as a moisture-retention complex.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.

107 more explained

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment ferment: This ferment produces sophorolipids, sugar-based molecules that behave as very mild surfactants and emulsifiers. It is used to keep a formula blended without a harsh cleanser.
Tocopheryl Acetate antioxidant: Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula.
Xylitol humectant: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol humectant. It holds water in the outer layer of skin and is often paired with anhydroxylitol and xylitylglucoside as a hydration trio.
Cetearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy solid, not the drying kind of alcohol. It is a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols used to thicken a cream and keep oil and water from separating, and it softens skin as it does so.
Sodium Dna active: Sodium DNA is the salt of DNA, in Korean skincare almost always salmon derived, and it is the ingredient behind the PDRN category. It is used as a humectant and for the look of tired skin; the fragments themselves are what the name PDRN refers to.
Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier: Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
Glucose humectant: Glucose is a simple sugar used as a humectant and as food for the ferment ingredients in the same formula. It hydrates mildly and adds a soft slip.
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 thickener: Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 is a thickener chosen for a notably fresh, bouncy gel feel that breaks down to water on the skin.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
Adenosine active: Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
Ceramide NP barrier lipid: Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
Sodium Phytate chelator: Sodium Phytate is a rice-derived chelator used in place of EDTA. It ties up trace metals so the formula stays stable and its colour and scent hold.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil emollient: Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils.
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract plant extract: Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin.
Citric Acid pH adjuster: Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
Hydroxyethylcellulose thickener: Hydroxyethylcellulose is a cellulose thickener that builds a clear, smooth gel and holds the rest of the formula in suspension.
Sodium Citrate pH adjuster: Sodium Citrate is the salt of citric acid, used as a buffer: it holds a formula at a steady pH rather than pushing it in one direction. It is also a mild chelator.
Phytosterols emollient: Phytosterols are plant sterols, structurally close to the cholesterol in skin's own lipid layer. They soften skin and help the oil phase of a formula hold together.
Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract plant extract: Coccinia Indica is ivy gourd. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning, hydrating plant extract in Korean formulas.
Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract plant extract: Aloe Flower Extract comes from the flower rather than the leaf gel. It is used as a conditioning plant extract.
Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract plant extract: Eggplant Fruit Extract carries nasunin, the antioxidant pigment in aubergine skin. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
T-Butyl Alcohol solvent: t-Butyl Alcohol is the bittering agent added to cosmetic ethanol so it cannot be drunk. It appears in tiny amounts alongside alcohol denat. and does no formulation work of its own.
Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract plant extract: Ocimum Sanctum is holy basil, or tulsi. Its leaf extract carries plant antioxidants and is used in formulas built for the look of stressed, reactive skin.
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract plant extract: Turmeric Root Extract carries curcuminoids, well studied plant antioxidants. It is used for the look of dullness and uneven tone, and it tints a formula faintly yellow.
Corallina Officinalis Extract plant extract: Corallina Officinalis is coral seaweed, which holds calcium and magnesium in its structure. Its extract is used as a mineral-rich conditioning ingredient.
Cyanocobalamin vitamin: Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
Hydrolyzed Collagen protein: Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Adenosine Triphosphate active: Adenosine Triphosphate is the molecule cells move energy around with. In a formula it is a conditioning nucleotide, related to the adenosine declared beside it.
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide active: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, usually written NAD, is a coenzyme every living cell carries, built from vitamin B3. In a formula it is used as a conditioning active at very low levels.
Resveratrol antioxidant: Resveratrol is an antioxidant from grape skin and Japanese knotweed. It is used for the look of dullness and is often paired with ferulic acid, which keeps it stable.
Pullulan film former: Pullulan is a fermentation-derived polysaccharide that dries to a tight film, which is why it produces a temporary, visible tightening feel on the skin.
Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate surfactant: Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate is an amino-acid-derived cleanser built on sarcosine. It foams well at skin-friendly pH, which is why Korean low-pH cleansers use it.
Palmitic Acid fatty acid: Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
C12-14 Alketh-12 emulsifier: C12-14 Alketh-12 is a solubiliser used to keep oils and fragrance dissolved in a water-based formula.
Pisum Sativum (Pea) Peptide peptide: The peptide fraction of pea protein, cut short enough to dissolve and spread. It is a plant peptide used for the look of firmness.
Stearic Acid fatty acid: Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate emulsifier: Six glycerin units joined to lauric acid. Polyglyceryl esters are the mild, PEG-free way to hold oil and water together.
Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster: Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate peptide: This is a two-amino-acid peptide, sold as Syn-Ake, used for the look of expression lines. Its structure was modelled on a component of snake venom, though nothing of the venom itself is in it.
Dextran polysaccharide: Dextran is a branched sugar polymer made by fermenting sucrose. It holds water, thickens slightly, and is used as a carrier that keeps other water-soluble ingredients evenly spread.
Hydrolyzed Elastin protein: Hydrolyzed Elastin is fragments of elastin, the protein that gives skin its snap back. Like collagen it cannot rebuild the real thing from the outside; it holds water and leaves a smooth film.
Soluble Collagen protein: Soluble Collagen is collagen kept in its intact triple-helix form and dissolved rather than cut up. It sits on the surface as a water-holding film.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of density and firmness. It appears in scalp formulas as often as in facial ones.
Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract plant extract: Red clover flower extract, carrying isoflavones. It is used as a conditioning plant extract.
Disodium EDTA chelator: EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
Myristic Acid fatty acid: Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
Mannose sugar: Mannose is a simple sugar closely related to glucose. It is used as a humectant and as a building block in the polysaccharide blends that hold water on the surface.
SH-Octapeptide-4 peptide: An eight-amino-acid peptide produced by fermentation. It is used as a conditioning peptide inside a wider peptide complex.
SH-Decapeptide-7 peptide: A ten-amino-acid peptide made by fermentation. It is used as a conditioning peptide, usually within a blend.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 peptide: Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is the five-amino-acid peptide originally sold as Matrixyl. It is used for the look of fine lines and is one of the longest-standing cosmetic peptides.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 peptide: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a short peptide with a fatty tail added so it can travel through the oily outer layer of skin. It is used for the look of firmness and is almost always paired with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.
Copper Tripeptide-1 peptide: Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines.
Hexapeptide-9 peptide: Hexapeptide-9 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and elasticity. It is water soluble and appears in peptide blends rather than alone.
Nonapeptide-1 peptide: Nonapeptide-1 is a nine-amino-acid peptide used for the look of uneven tone rather than for firmness, which makes it unusual among cosmetic peptides.
Tripeptide-1 peptide: Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint.
Arachidic Acid fatty acid: Arachidic Acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid used to thicken and stabilise a formula.
Collagen protein: Collagen is the structural protein that makes up most of the dermis. Applied on top it is far too large to enter skin, so in a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film former.
Elastin protein: Elastin is the stretchy structural protein that sits alongside collagen in the dermis. It cannot enter skin from the outside, so in a formula it is a water-holding, film-forming protein.
Glutathione antioxidant: Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 peptide: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a four-amino-acid peptide with a fatty tail, used for the look of fine lines. With palmitoyl tripeptide-1 it forms the pairing sold as Matrixyl 3000.
Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide peptide: A polypeptide built from the amino acids arginine and lysine. It holds water strongly and leaves a smoothing film.
Oligopeptide-29 peptide: A short chain of amino acids used as a conditioning peptide. Oligopeptide numbers are registry entries, not strengths.
Oligopeptide-32 peptide: A short amino acid chain used as a conditioning peptide, usually one of several oligopeptides declared together.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 is a four-amino-acid peptide used in eye products for the look of puffiness and crepiness.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and density. It is most often supplied alongside acetyl tetrapeptide-11.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness, particularly in eye and neck formulas.
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 peptide: Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is an eight-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines. It is usually paired with acetyl hexapeptide-8 rather than used alone.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 peptide: Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of even tone. It is one of the few peptides aimed at pigment rather than at lines.
Alanine/Histidine/Lysine Polypeptide Copper HCL peptide: This is a three-amino-acid peptide bound to copper and supplied as a hydrochloride salt. Copper peptides are blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying one is tinted.
Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester peptide: Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is a two-amino-acid peptide with a fatty cetyl tail attached, which lets it sit in the oil phase of a formula rather than only the water phase.
Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 peptide: A three-amino-acid peptide joined to biotin, vitamin B7. It is the peptide most used in lash, brow and scalp formulas.
Dipeptide-4 peptide: Dipeptide-4 is a two-amino-acid peptide. It is water soluble and appears as one component of a multi-peptide blend rather than on its own.
Hexapeptide-11 peptide: Hexapeptide-11 is a yeast-derived six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of resilience and firmness.
Hexapeptide-12 peptide: Hexapeptide-12 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of fine lines. It is water soluble and is usually paired with longer peptides in a blend.
Lauric Acid fatty acid: Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 peptide: A five-amino-acid peptide with a myristic acid tail. It is the peptide used in lash and brow formulas for the look of fuller hair.
Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 peptide: A six-amino-acid peptide with a fatty myristoyl tail. It is used in lash and brow formulas for the look of fuller hair.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-4 peptide: A five-amino-acid peptide carrying a fatty myristoyl tail so it can sit in the oil phase. It is used as a conditioning peptide.
Nicotinoyl Tripeptide-1 peptide: A three-amino-acid peptide joined to a vitamin B3 group. It is used as a conditioning peptide, most often in scalp and lash products.
Nonapeptide-7 peptide: Nonapeptide-7 is a nine-amino-acid peptide. Nonapeptides are among the longer synthetic cosmetic peptides and appear in blends rather than alone.
Nicotinoyl Tripeptide-35 peptide: Nicotinoyl Tripeptide-35 is a three-amino-acid peptide carrying a nicotinoyl group, the same chemical family as niacinamide. It is used in blends rather than alone.
Nicotinoyl Dipeptide-26 peptide: A two-amino-acid peptide joined to a vitamin B3 group. It is used for the look of uneven tone and enlarged pores.
Nicotinoyl Dipeptide-23 peptide: A two-amino-acid peptide carrying a vitamin B3 group. It is used as a conditioning peptide, usually beside niacinamide itself.
Octapeptide-2 peptide: An eight-amino-acid peptide used as a conditioning peptide for the look of firmness.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 peptide: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface.
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 peptide: Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a fatted six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness, usually as part of a multi-peptide blend.
Pentapeptide-13 peptide: A five-amino-acid peptide used as a conditioning peptide, generally within a blend.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-29 peptide: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-29 is the collagen-fragment tripeptide with a fatty tail attached. The tail is what lets a water-loving peptide cross an oily surface.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 peptide: A three-amino-acid peptide with a palmitic acid tail, which lets it sit in the oil phase. It is used for the look of reddened, reactive skin.
Tetrapeptide-44 peptide: A four-amino-acid peptide used as a conditioning peptide, most often in blends aimed at the look of firmness.
Tetrapeptide-30 peptide: A four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of uneven tone, generally within a peptide blend rather than on its own.

Sh-Polypeptide-22 peptide: sh-Polypeptide-22 is another fermentation-produced peptide of the sh family, used in multi-peptide serums rather than on its own.
SH-Oligopeptide-1 peptide: sh-Oligopeptide-1 is a peptide made by yeast fermentation rather than synthesis, which is what the sh prefix records. It is used for the look of firmness and skin recovery after irritation.
SH-Polypeptide-1 peptide: sh-Polypeptide-1 is a longer fermentation-produced peptide. It is used in formulas built around the look of resilience and recovery.
SH-Polypeptide-9 peptide: sh-Polypeptide-9 is another fermentation-produced peptide used for the look of firmness, usually as part of a blend.
SH-Polypeptide-3 peptide: sh-Polypeptide-3 is a peptide made by fermentation rather than by chemical synthesis, which is what the sh prefix records. Polypeptide means a longer chain than a tri or hexapeptide.
Sh-Polypeptide-16 peptide: A polypeptide made by fermentation rather than extracted, which is what the sh prefix records. It is used as a conditioning peptide.
SH-Polypeptide-62 peptide: A fermentation-produced polypeptide, the sh prefix marking that it is grown in a microbe rather than taken from tissue. It is used as a conditioning peptide.

How to use

Use the No. 9 NAD+ PDRN Glow Boosting Toner straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp.
Apply numbuzin No.9 Toner morning and night on freshly cleansed skin. Pour an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad or into your hands. Gently sweep the toner across your face and neck, then pat lightly to help it absorb. F ollow with your favorite serum, cream and sunscreen (in the morning) to keep your glow going strong.
It goes on before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the step above it holds on to.
Twice a day, every day. Do not let it dry down completely before the next layer goes on, or you lose the reason for applying it to damp skin.

Worth knowing

Patch test on the inner arm first if trying a new brand's formula for the first time.
Stop use and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivities before continuing.
