Love it!
I was on hunt for a good serum as part of my skin car routine.. I tried few high end serums wasn't good enough and floated my boat towards korea.. Love their skin care and I came across this brand in ulta and wanted to try right away.. its just one use and i can already say am gonna fall in love with this product.. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly and leaves ur skin feeling baby smooth.. the only con i would say is this product is not completely grease free.. you can feel faintly sticky doesn't bother me at all it might bother oil skin users out there.. Over all very happy with my choice.. hopefully this product acquires permanent spot in my regime..

It's Fine
I'm looking for a serum to help keep my skin a little more moisturized during the winter months and I don't think this is it. When I first put it on, it feels really nice and moisturizing but then it turns sticky - which I don't mind, but I know some people might- and then just sits there. I try and give it a couple minutes in case it really needs to soak in and then I put on my regular face lotion and the sticky feeling goes away. I think it might give my skin a little extra glow and evenness but I'm looking for moisture as well. Also, I'm going through this so fast - I'm almost half done with it and I've only had it for two weeks.

Calming for sensitive skin

Older & wiser from Illinois
I have dry to combination skin and between winter dry weather and adjusting to retinol use, I need to pay close attention to keep my face from looking and feeling chapped and irritated. Good moisturizer is a must, but adding this product to both am and pm routines did the trick. My skin is now calm and hydrated. Glad I found it.
It's OK

This is a nice serum with a pretty minimalist ingredients list (only eleven total), which is always nice to see. It's very hydrating, but its consistency is still light, so if you've got combo/oily skin, I don't think you'll find this to be too heavy. I haven't noticed any huge differences to my skin, and I use it primarily just for its hydrating properties and anti-bacterial properties. Overall, though, I think there are other propolis serums out there with more impressive formulas that I prefer over this one — like By Wishtrend's Polyphenols in 15% Propolis Ampule and Skinfood's propolis essence.
Great for Acne-Treatment Damaged Skin

AmieBPS from STL
I have acne and use several rather harsh treatments to combat it. This causes my skin to not only dry out, but also become extremely irriated and sensitive; sometimes almost like it was chemically burned. This product is so lovely to use when my skin gets damaged from acne treatments! It does soothe the skin and has not made acne worse or caused any probelms. I highly recommend if you have irritated or damaged skin. I can use it under makeup as well (just let it fully absorb first), but usually use it at night.
Decent serum

Jessie from Sacramento
An okay product that I wouldn't necessarily buy again, but I'm happy I tried it out. Moisturizing but it does leave your skin feeling slightly tacky after it sinks in. Minimalist ingredient list which I like but I do wish it felt a little better on the skin
My favorite find.

Amy R. from New Mexico
I received a one-use sample and liked the way my face felt. Since it was fairly inexpensive, I bought a full size product. Ya'll, THIS IS AWESOME. It isn't marketed as an anti-aging product but I have to say it really seems to help. I use a small amount on each cheek and rub it in. I let it dry for a minute or so before I apply my moisturizer. I find I have to use lest foundation-no more full coverage needed after using for about a month. I like it better than any serum I've tried. It's a fantastic product and I will continue using.
mind blowing for acne and wound healing!!!

I have OCD and part of that includes excoriation (skin picking). I have developed ways to feed into my compulsions and make the spots heal as fast as possible. I have a big issue when I get hormonal breakouts around my mouth because it's really uncomfortable to put hydrocolloid bandaids on and basically the method isn't great and I decided going bandaid free. I used to use honey as it's a great wound healer and gravitated towards this because of it. I initially just used it because I ran out of my hyaluronic acid from cosrx and this really isn't a substitute for that but I've been using it only a couple days and the spots I had from picking have completely healed over and marks have already began to fade. Keep in mind, my ocd makes it so I am constantly monitoring my skin and spots and their status and I've never had them heal this quickly, especially without using my normal methods. If you pick at your face, even just a little, this is a must
It's ok

tattdmoma from Prosser, WA
I really like this serum! It has lasted me quite a while with just one bottle. The only thing I don't particularly care for the stickiness caused by the honey in the mixture. Overall though, I really like how hydrated my face feels after using the serum in my skincare routine.
great product

jessicac541 from bend, oregon
I started using this product during the summer time when my skin would see more damage then usual (dryness, sun burns, polin irritation) and I was impressed. It kept my redness under control and kept my skin hydrated through the day, I saw little to no acne during this time frame. will be buying again soon.
Tiny Bottle (10mL)
5
J.V. from Orange, California, USA
I didn't think the 10mL bottle would be so tiny. Since I bought the 10mL one, it doesn't last me that long since I use it every night. However, this serum makes my face glow. It works well with the Full Fit Propolis Synergy Toner. Super hydrating and you should tap on the product to get the full effect.
such a great product

Chandler from Undisclosed
I got the snail mucin trial set and the propolis ampoule and so far I LOVE THEM! My skin is super sensitive and I've had no breakouts from these. Also, my massive pores are way less noticeable now and my skin is so hydrated and soft. My only complaint is one of the containers, the product gets super messy with the container bottle in the kit. But love all the stuff so far

Disappointed

Skincare junkie from Texas
I'm trying to get my adult acne under control, some minor blackheads, predominantly cystic acne, and I hoped this could help. I LOVED the way it felt when applied before night cream, felt very hydrating! Unfortunately it caused major whiteheads, which I've never had in my whole life. I would skip nights, then try again to be sure and every morning my face looked like I had nasty volcanoes all over! May be great for acne scars after the issue has been corrected, but active acne issues might not benefit
Buy Set If Not Sure

Sohui from Rincon, Georgia, USA
I love sample sets so I can try on to see if I want to buy bigger size. Also, good to have for travel. I love all COSRX products. This set has 4 products that I have been wanted to try and I love every one of products.
So far so good

I'll know better in a month or so. I love all their products though.

Darcy from Denver, Colorado, USA
This is a daily necessity- I love how soothing it is on my skin, and it makes my face look so refreshed. 10/10 recommend this! The redness on my skin has gone down so much ever since I began using it, and my skin finally feels hydrated- something I've struggled with because I live in a mountain environment.
I'm obsessed

I started using this ampoule a few weeks ago and it has made a noticable difference in a short time. I have actually been able to cut down on other products because I'm seeing such great results.

Marsha from Mousie, Kentucky, USA
I have very sensitive skin. I was on the look out for a new foundation and the brand I tried was popular for sensitive skin. It basically set me on fire and left my face swollen. I applied this ampule along with the all in one snail creme and the next morning, it was all gone! I would give ten stars if I could!
How can natural propolis reinforce your brand with immune health?
Immune health is currently one of the consumers’ main concern, and the arrival of winter’s cold weathers usually makes them care even more about their health. As a matter of fact, Innova Market Insights state that the ingredients known to boost immunity will have an important role to play in 2021. One of the ingredients playing an active role in immune health is propolis, the natural antibiotic from the beehive.
Did you know that not all bee species collect propolis? The species in charge of collecting that product is the “Apis mellifera” bee, also known as domestic bee or honeybee. This fact represents one of the singularities of propolis, but there is another element that makes it even more special: its composition.
How is propolis produced?
The bees produce the propolis by adding wax and salivary secretions to the resinous, rubbery or balsamic material they collect from different types of plants, mainly poplar and pine tree. They use their mandibles and legs to pull away the material.
The bees make their own natural antibiotic, propolis, to maintain the beehives healthy; it reduces the microbial growth on the hive walls and prevents any source of infection.
Why we say propolis is a natural antibiotic that protects the immune system?
The answer is its high content of polyphenols, also called phenols. They are phenolic acids and flavonoids and they give propolis its antibiotic property. The flavonoids are essential to a plant’s defence system, they are powerful antioxidants.
Amongst the most representative flavonoids, the following can be found: Galangina (Flavonol), Apigenin (Flavone), Pinocembrina (Flavones), Chrysin (Flavone), Quercetin (Flavonol) and Pinobanksina (Dihydroflavonol).
The polyphenols will determine the propolis quality, since they are responsible for the antioxidant activity.
At HoneyGreen+, we test and guarantee the propolis polyphenols within our analytical plan, in order to always offer a high-quality product, that will meet our customers’ requirements.
Propolis uses and applications
Propolis is well known for its use in syrups, sprays or throat sweets, but its antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral and antibiotic properties allow it to also be used in other products, such as toothpastes, shampoos and face creams. We can also highlight the following products that contain propolis: honey blends, capsules, functional foods, sweets, syrups, sprays, vials, tablets, medicinal creams, deodorants, serums, and lip balms.
Nutritional and cosmetic benefits
Natural antibiotic. Many studies have verified a synergic activity between antibiotics and propolis. A higher efficiency against the influenza virus has been demonstrated (antiviral).
Immune system. The propolis antimicrobial activities can take place directly over the microorganisms, or indirectly too, through a stimulation of the immune system and the elimination of microorganisms.
Natural antioxidant. Propolis is a natural active ingredient with antioxidant and moisturizing properties that revitalize the skin.
At HoneyGreen+, we make our products portfolio evolve along with our customers’ needs. That is why we offer bulk propolis from different origins and in different formats: raw propolis, propolis blocks or propolis powder.
