I bought this product thinking that it would hydrate and soothe my skin during the winter months. However, upon application, my face feels sticky even in winter. I come from a region where the weather is hot most of the year. The winter is only about 2-3 months long and not that cold. So, I believe the weather conditions are responsible for the feeling I get from this essence. It might be a good option for the people who live in colder regions and need a highly concentrated moisturizer.  

Just to clarify, I tried applying only one drop for my entire face, but it still feels sticky. I've concluded that this product is not for me. However, to finish the bottle, I plan to mix it with my usual moisturizer and apply during the colder months. I will not use it as a sole moisturizer. After having a negative experience with this one, I am hesitant to try other propolis products such as the Cosrx toner/serum.
