Hydrating

It stings when applied to broken skin or after pore cleansing.
First-time users might experience a warming sensation or slight irritation.

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.

프로폴리스 유수분 세럼

There's honestly nothing bad to say about this. I've already used over 10 bottles. I'd be devastated if it were discontinued!

This is truly my holy grail product! It's amazing for blemishes, and it works wonders even on body eczema. I apply it before bed as my only nighttime product. It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated!

While it doesn't have any drawbacks, it also doesn't have any standout benefits. It's just too average.

User experience:
Personally, propolis doesn't work exceptionally well for me
So it's hard to tell if any propolis product is truly effective
I believe finding products that suit you is more important than just using 'good' products

I don't have any complaints yet! It's a product I've always used well, so the only slight disappointment is that the formula is a gel.

I bought this product because I've been using it since high school! I thought it would be perfect for this time of year. Usually, my skin gets oily when I wake up in the morning, but thanks to its sebum control function, my skin now feels fresh and matte! I heard it's good for folliculitis due to its anti-inflammatory ingredients, so I'm planning to use it more.

It's not really meant for tackling dryness. Nothing particularly special about it - just a very ordinary product.

I tried this product because propolis works well for me, and I'm pleased with how it absorbs well and provides just the right amount of hydration.

I can't think of any particular downsides.

For even better results, try using it alongside other Bonajour products.

Highly recommended for those with oily skin types.

Thanks to the honey-derived poly-something ingredient, I noticed my blemishes calmed down a bit.

True to its oily skin formulation, it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating on the skin at all.

It feels a bit richer compared to other ampoule serums, which might be a bit heavy for some.

I loved that this product could balance both oil and moisture, giving me that perfect honey-like glow.

I recently stopped using it due to skin blemishes and have slowly started using it again. It doesn't seem to be causing any new blemishes, which is good. However, rather than balancing oil and moisture, it feels a bit ambiguous in its effects.

The texture is unique and it seems to absorb well without running down the skin. It gives a nice hydrated feeling!

It applies like a gel and feels a bit like it's coating the skin, which seems to cause some pilling with the cream I apply afterwards.

The texture is light and refreshing. I've never felt like anything else was needed after applying this.

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.

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.

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.

If you don't wipe the opening every time you close the lid, it will leave residue.

Although it hasn't been long since I started using it, the acne that suddenly appeared seems to be going away! I can't say for sure that it's because of this product, but things have improved since I switched to Bonjour!

If you have really oily skin, you should definitely try this at least once.

The disappointing part is that the clogged pores would get pushed down and then suddenly shoot out, getting all over the wall.

I bought this because they said it's good for sebum control.
When using it, it's just... okay? It seems to reduce sebum a little bit.
But then I went on a trip for about 2 weeks and accidentally didn't bring this with me.
I didn't really think much of it, but starting a couple days later, my sebum went crazy ㅜㅜ.. My makeup was a mess and it was just a disaster.
That's when I realized how important this product is to me. Skin regeneration or whatever doesn't seem to have any effect, but the low-irritation, sebum control is truly the best.
