Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide

Korea ranking #6 serumUS stock

A honey-textured serum built around a high dose of propolis with a little niacinamide, made for a soft, dewy finish. Though it feels thick in the bottle, it sinks in without stickiness and leaves skin looking smooth and calm. A nice fit if you want light hydration and glow, or skin that leans dull and could use soothing.

More detail

Propolis makes up the bulk of the formula and brings antioxidant, soothing, and barrier-supporting hydration, while niacinamide helps brighten and even out tone. A small amount of BHA gently keeps pores clear for a smoother look. The texture is thick and honey-like but absorbs quickly with no tacky residue. Press two or three drops into cleansed skin, morning or night, before moisturizer. Because it contains BHA, wear sunscreen during the day, and patch test first if your skin is sensitive or you're prone to bee-product allergies.

Glow without grease, and my hormonal chin breakouts calmed down. Bee allergy folks beware though.
