Key actives
Propolis Extractplant extract
Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this cream's own ingredient list.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysateferment
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is the ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is a conditioning ferment used in barrier-focused products. The panel names it first on this cream's list, beside Propolis Extract.
Bifida Ferment Lysateferment
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a bifidobacteria ferment with the cells broken open. It is the ingredient behind the first-essence category and is used for the look of tired, reactive skin. The panel names it tenth on this cream's list, beside Propolis Extract.
Lactococcus Ferment Lysateferment
Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a lactic-culture ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is used as a conditioning ferment in barrier-focused products. It is named eleventh on this cream's list, alongside Propolis Extract.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it eighteenth on this cream's list, beside Propolis Extract.
How to use
- Use it as the last step of a routine (or before a separate night cream at night), sealing in the layers underneath. AM and PM.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Propolis Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Propolis Extract and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Propolis Extract?
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactococcus Ferment Lysate. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Propolis Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tocopherol, Allium Sativum (Garlic) Bulb Extract and Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract.

How it works
The Propolis Energy Balancing Cream is a 50g cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Propolis Extract, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Propolis Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream By Wishtrend sells in Korea, Propolis Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Propolis Extract on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Propolis Extract rather than to three changes at once.
