How it works
Dull, congested-looking skin usually needs two different answers at once, tone and texture, and this serum runs both from the top of the list. Propolis extract is entry one, ahead of even water. Niacinamide follows close behind at entry six, and betaine salicylate, a gentle oil-soluble BHA salt, sits further down for pore refinement without a separate exfoliating step. Centella asiatica and tea tree extract close out the pore argument. Buy this size if a pump a day is your pace; the 30 ml is here to try it first.
Key benefits
- Propolis extract, entry one, ahead of even water: the formula's base ingredient, not a garnish
- Niacinamide at entry six carries real weight this early
- Betaine salicylate handles mild pore refinement without a separate BHA step
- Centella asiatica extract and tea tree extract back the pore argument further down the list
- 60 ml: the larger of the two sizes; a 30 ml exists if you want to try it first
How to use
- Use it between toner and moisturizer, twice a day.
- Two pumps for the face. The larger bottle is the one you can use twice a day without rationing.
- Press it in and give it a moment to stop feeling tacky before the next layer.
- Do not pair it with a second pore serum, because two steps of one kind do the work of one.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide
What is propolis extract doing at the top of this serum's ingredient list?
Propolis extract leads the ingredient list, ahead of even water, making it the base the rest of the serum is built on rather than a garnish. Propolis is a resin bees produce to seal and disinfect the hive, and it is reached for in Korean formulation on skin that looks dull or uneven.
How much niacinamide is in this serum, and where does it sit?
Niacinamide is sixth on the ingredient list, close behind the propolis and water, which is early enough to carry real weight in a Korean-market formula rather than sitting near the tail as a marketing mention. It works alongside the propolis to even out the look of tone.
Does this serum include an exfoliating acid?
Betaine salicylate, a gentle oil-soluble BHA salt, is declared on the list at a low, stated amount for mild pore refinement. Centella asiatica extract and tea tree extract sit further down the list to back that pore-clearing argument without it reading as harsh.
Is this the 30 ml or 60 ml bottle?
This listing is the 60 ml bottle, the larger of the two sizes Beauty of Joseon sells this serum in. A 30 ml bottle of the same propolis and niacinamide formula exists if you would rather try it first.
How can I confirm this is the authentic Korean-market Beauty of Joseon formula, not a US reformulation?
Beauty of Joseon verifies its products by sourcing chain rather than a scan, because the brand has retired its own QR verification and is phasing out its authenticity seal. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label, and we publish exactly where we buy. That intact packaging is the record the brand itself points to now that its earlier scan-based check is gone.

Worth knowing
- Patch-test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
- Propolis Extract and this formula's other named actives are new to your skin the first time you use it, so introduce it a few times a week before moving to daily use if your skin runs sensitive.
