Beauty Of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide

The glow step, borrowed from a Korean royal-court recipe and updated with niacinamide.

Beauty of Joseon's Glow Serum pairs 60% propolis extract, the resin bees make to protect the hive, with 2% niacinamide, the ingredient dermatologists trust for evening tone. The result is a honey-colored serum that gives skin a healthy, lit-from-within finish without any shimmer or stickiness. It absorbs fast and plays well with everything else in your routine.

Why it made Seoul's edit

• 60% propolis extract for nourishment and a soft, natural glow.
• 2% niacinamide to even out tone and help pores look smaller over time.
• Light enough for morning use under sunscreen and makeup.
• Fragrance-free, with the faint natural scent of propolis.

Good for

Dull or uneven skin. Dehydrated combination skin. Anyone who wants glow without oil.

Skip it if you are allergic to bee products.

How to use

1. After toner, apply 2 to 3 drops.
2. Pat gently over face and neck.
3. Follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen. Morning and night.
