Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide
🍯 Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide
This serum is celebrated for its ability to target inflammation, manage breakouts, and impart a healthy, honey-like "glow" to the skin. It’s the perfect choice for those dealing with acne, redness, and dullness.
Product Overview & Key Features
-
Anti-Inflammatory Power: The star ingredient is 60% Propolis Extract. Propolis is a resinous mixture collected by honey bees, and it is known for its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. This makes it highly effective for calming red, angry breakouts and soothing troubled skin.
-
Balancing Niacinamide: The formula includes Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which works to control excess sebum production, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and improve the overall clarity and texture of the skin.
-
Deep Hydration and Radiance: The serum has a slightly viscous, honey-like texture that absorbs beautifully, leaving the skin deeply moisturized and with a luminous, non-greasy, "glass skin" glow.
-
Hanbang Tradition: This product follows the brand's commitment to using traditional Korean herbal medicine (Hanbang) ingredients for natural, effective skincare.
