About this product

Glow Serum : Propolis + Niacinamide is a 30 ml serum Beauty of Joseon made for skin dealing with enlarged pores and inflammation. The formula runs on 60% propolis extract and 2% niacinamide, with BHA at 0.5% rounding it out.

The balance the brand is aiming for is sebum under control without the skin drying out in the process — which is usually where pore-focused products go wrong.

Size 30 ml
Made for Enlarged pores and skin inflammation
Key ingredients Propolis extract 60% · niacinamide 2% · BHA 0.5%
How much 2 to 3 drops, patted in

What it actually does

  • Manages sebum while keeping skin hydrated. That is the brand's core promise for the propolis-and-niacinamide blend — oil kept in check, moisture kept in place.
  • Leads with propolis at 60%. As a skincare ingredient, Beauty of Joseon describes propolis extract as effective for hydrating skin and improving inflamed skin.
  • Uses niacinamide for oil balance. Of the vitamin's many effects, the brand singles out controlling sebum secretion and holding the skin's oil and moisture in balance.
  • Adds a light BHA at 0.5%. Being fat-soluble, the brand says it clears sebum and the waste that collects inside pores — which is why it is in a pore-focused serum rather than a water-soluble acid.
  • Has a historical link to honey masks. The brand notes a record of Joseon Dynasty women using honey and grain powder as a wash-off pack to care for their skin.

Concentrations and ingredient roles above are as published by Beauty of Joseon. Individual results vary.

How to use

  1. Dispense 2 to 3 drops onto the face after your cleansing and toner steps.
  2. Pat gently to help it absorb. Tapping beats rubbing for a serum this light.
  3. Moisturise over the top.
  4. Wear sunscreen in the morning. There is a BHA in here, so daily SPF is sensible.

Is it right for you?

Yes, if your skin is…

  • Showing enlarged pores, especially around the nose
  • Oily and in need of sebum control
  • Inflamed or reddened — propolis is the brand's answer there
  • Too easily dried out by stronger exfoliating serums

Think twice if…

  • You react to bee-derived ingredients — this is 60% propolis
  • Your skin is very dry with no oil concerns at all
  • You already layer multiple acids and don't want another
  • Niacinamide has flushed your skin before

Questions

Who is this serum for?

Beauty of Joseon made it specifically for people dealing with enlarged pores and skin inflammation.

Is 0.5% BHA going to irritate me?

That is a low level, included to clear sebum and debris from inside pores rather than to resurface the skin. If you already use other acids, start a few nights a week and see how you go.

Is propolis the same as honey?

No — propolis is a separate bee-derived material, used here at 60% as an extract. The brand credits it with hydrating the skin and improving inflamed skin. If you avoid bee ingredients, this is not the serum for you.

What size is the bottle?

30 ml, used at 2 to 3 drops per application.

How soon will it ship?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. We'll message you if anything holds the order up.

How do I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. No cash on delivery.

What if it arrives damaged?

Report it within 1 day of delivery with a photo. We accept defective, damaged or expired items only, and confirmed refunds go back to the original payment method within 15 to 30 days.
