Pros
A decent product. No major pros or cons, good for daily use. 1. Texture Similar to a hydrating gel cream. Feels moisturizing and applies smoothly. 2. Scent Has a propolis smell. If you've ever taken propolis supplements, you'll recognize it instantly. This might be a turn-off for some. 3. Absorption Absorbs well. After washing your face, just pat it in and it sinks right in. Once absorbed, it leaves a slightly tacky yet powdery finish. 4. Suitability for sensitive skin: Ok Initially, I felt a slight tingling and warming sensation. To be honest, it made me a bit nervous, but after using it a few times, it was fine. No blemishes appeared. 5. Recommended skin type: Oily It can be a bit drying. Seems best suited for oily skin types.
Cons
It stings when applied to broken skin or after pore cleansing. First-time users might experience a warming sensation or slight irritation.

Pros
After searching high and low for the right skincare products, I repurchased the toner from this line that I was already using well. Then I got curious about the serum and decided to give it a try. The lack of oiliness seems to be a big plus. Your skin might be a bit sensitive at first, but that seems to go away after a few days. I'm not entirely sure if it's definitively good or not. The packaging is quite nice too. I've usually used serums with droppers, but this pump-style dispenser works well. The spring feels quite strong when you press it. I like that it dispenses just the right amount each time.
Cons
For some reason, it stings when applied. The sensation does subside after a while, and it's not the kind of stinging that causes blemishes, but it happens every time I use it. I'm not sure if I should continue using it because of this.
Tip
If you don't like the stinging sensation, I'd recommend the toner from the same line. If you have a moisturizer that provides good hydration, I think the toner alone might be sufficient without necessarily needing to use a serum.

Pros
It seems to contain a significant amount of propolis. The hydration lasts for a long time.
Cons
There's a slight tingling or burning sensation when first applied... After using it for a week, I noticed some small blemishes similar to milia appearing... It seems this product may work for some people but not for others.

Pros
As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to acne, I started using this when I first began my skincare routine. It feels like it's balancing my skin and making it more resilient. I think I'll continue using this as a middle step in my routine going forward!
Cons
Unfortunately, it caused red blemishes on my acne-prone skin. Also, it stung quite a bit when I first applied it, which was uncomfortable.

Pros
As someone with combination dehydrated skin and visible pores, I often feel dry no matter how much product I apply. While searching for a hydrating serum or essence, I discovered the Bonajour Propolis Serum, which has gentle ingredients and a reasonable price. I've found that many well-known and effective essences can be quite pricey and come in unsatisfying quantities. However, this product is perfect for daily use, which is why I'm sharing my review. Benefit 1: It's gentle enough to use even when you have blemishes. You might feel a slight tingling, but it doesn't aggravate existing skin issues. Benefit 2: What I loved most is that unlike other products where I feel dry right after the essence step, this serum definitely keeps my skin hydrated. It feels like it's replenishing moisture and providing hydration without creating a heavy layer on the skin. (Still, I recommend following up with a moisturizing emulsion or cream after the serum.) Texture: The texture is similar to aloe vera gel, but it's more fluid and spreads easily, feeling like it's adding an extra layer of nourishing hydration. Quantity: I've been using it from mid-January to the end of February, and the amount has been more than sufficient compared to other products. I still have about 1/3 left. I haven't experienced any additional blemishes since using it, and I think I'll stick with this product moving forward! I highly recommend this to anyone with combination dehydrated skin or those who experience dryness in areas with large pores like the nose or T-zone.
Cons
There aren't really any downsides to mention. One thing I noticed is that if you've been thorough with pore cleansing or apply it to painful blemishes, you might feel a slight tingling sensation. However, this is likely due to the skin being sensitive or lacking moisture at that moment. It's similar to how hand cream might sting slightly when applied to chapped hands in winter. I think this would happen with any product in that state.

Pros
I thought this product was in a gel form before purchasing it. However, when I received the product and tried it, it was not as thick and dense as a gel. I have used a lot of Isoi's propolis products, and this one is a bit more watery in texture. The texture is similar to Isoi's Blemish Serum. It doesn't feel heavy and absorbs well into the skin, leaving it moisturized. Among the products available on the market, this one has an exceptionally high propolis content. Many products claim to be propolis products but don't actually contain much, but this one lives up to its name.
Cons
I purchased this during a sale, but the regular price including shipping is a bit burdensome. Keep an eye out for sales on Hwahae and purchase it then. Also, since it has a high content, it may feel a bit stinging, so be sure to do a patch test before using it. For reference, it didn't cause much irritation on my sensitive skin.
Tip
It's best to do a patch test on the inside of your wrist or under your chin when testing it.

Pros
It was quite alright. It didn't irritate me much when I used it consistently.
Cons
It stung a little at first... You can't expect a wide variety of effects from it.
Tip
I think it worked well when I used it together with the Bonajoure Propolis Serum.

Pros
There's nothing. It's so bad that I feel like I have to give a 1-star rating.
Cons
It's really irritating, and although I'm an oily skin type, my skin has become so dehydrated that it's dried out the oil. As a result, my skin has peeled off, and my cheeks are still red. I've even developed three inflammatory acne.

Tip
After using a toner to refine the skin texture, applying a serum and then finishing with an oil-based product can help balance the oil-moisture levels and enhance the soothing effects
