What it is
Propolis is a resin-like material bees use in the hive. In skincare, propolis extract is used in ampoules, creams, and sleeping masks that aim for a soft, healthy-looking glow.
What it does
It offers antioxidant support and can make tired or dry skin look more supple. Korean propolis products often combine it with honey, royal jelly, or humectants for a cushiony finish.
How to use it
Use it as a serum or moisturizer step when skin looks flat or feels under-nourished. It is best for people who like a dewy, slightly comforting finish rather than a completely matte one.
Good to know
Avoid if you have a bee product allergy or known sensitivity to propolis. Acne-prone skin should check texture, since many propolis formulas are richer.
