Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide 30ml
Description
Made for the days skin is being loud.
What this serum does
A 30 ml serum, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and even out the look of tone.
Niacinamide, near the top of the list
Niacinamide sits at number 6 of 30 — an ingredient list runs in order of quantity, so that is among the largest part of what is in the bottle.
You can check it against the full list further down.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Dipropylene Glycol | Diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Methylpropanediol | Diol. Listed as solvent. |
| Pentylene Glycol | Diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate | Polyglyceryl ester. Lets oily soil rinse away with water; keeps oil and water from separating. |
| Propolis Extract | Extract of bee propolis. Listed as skin-conditioning agent. |
| Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract | Extract of Melia azadirachta flower. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract | Extract of Ocimum sanctum leaf (holy basil). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin and Butylene Glycol among others — draw water into the surface. Centella Asiatica Extract works on the look of redness. Niacinamide works on the look of unevenness.
Humectants and calming ingredients cover each other. Skin that has lost water looks redder and more textured than it is, so putting water back is half of how a formula settles the look of a difficult day.
How to use it
- Dispense 2-3 drops of the Glow Serum into the palm of your hand.
- Apply gently to your face and neck, focusing on areas that need extra hydration or brightness.
- Tap lightly with your fingertips until the serum is fully absorbed into your skin.
