The Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide is an expertly calibrated Hanbang skin elixer designed specifically for individuals battling enlarged pores, persistent acne breakouts, and dull, inflamed complexions. Formulated with a lavish 60% propolis extract and 2% niacinamide (Vitamin B3), this serum achieves the elusive balance of clearing congested pores while conferring a radiant, honey-like dewy glow that looks healthy and rested.
Propolis, a natural resin produced by honeybees, possesses remarkable antibacterial, antifungal, and wound-healing properties. In skincare, it actively suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, cools inflammatory flare-ups, and promotes tissue remodeling to minimize post-blemish pitting. Meanwhile, the clinical 2% niacinamide concentration curbs hyperactivity in sebaceous glands, tightens the visual diameter of enlarged pores, and inhibits melanin transfer to brighten stubborn acne spots without triggering the flushing or sensitivity associated with higher 10% niacinamide serums.
Despite its rich, golden, honey-like appearance, the texture is surprisingly lightweight and absorbs cleanly into the skin with zero oily film or stickiness. Enhanced with 0.5% BHA (Betaine Salicylate) to maintain gentle pore clearance and tea tree extract to soothe micro-inflammation, it works wonders under morning sunscreen or as a nourishing evening treatment. For acne-prone, oily, and combination skin seeking luminous glass-skin radiance without pore clogging, this serum is a certified modern classic.
