Enriched with 60% propolis extract and 2% niacinamide, Beauty of Joseon's Glow Serum targets acne, controls sebum secretion, refines pores and brightens the complexion. The rich, honey-like texture moisturises skin and leaves a dewy, flawless finish.
Unlike some thicker formulations, APLB’s propolis serum is comprised predominantly of bee pollen extract (43%), which gives it a lovely light, almost watery texture that is perfect for oily skin. It also contains 2% niacinamide to assist with brightening. The texture is perfect for layering and won’t weigh-down oily skin types. We also love that it’s fragrance and artificial colour free!
