A quite disappointing serum, I can only give it a negative zero score.
This serum contains 60% propolis and 2% niacinamide, offering antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin barrier repairing, sebum-regulating, brightening, and moisturizing effects. Upon application, it feels slightly sticky and requires some time for the skin to absorb. Unfortunately, it didn't improve my skin concerns; instead, it led to severe breakouts. Overall, I find this product quite disappointing, and I would advise sensitive and acne-prone skin to steer clear of it.
It's been a long time since I've used a propolis-containing serum. It has a thick, honey-like texture, slightly yellowish in color. When applied to the skin it takes a while for it to sink into the skin. I like the moisturizing effect and it makes my skin look healthy glow.
This is actually my second bottle and I actually love this serum. The glow is unmatched and the propolis does help calm my inflamed acne on my breakout days. My sebum production also reduced with this
