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 first on this serum's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it seventh on this serum's list, beside Propolis Extract.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it seventeenth on this serum's list, beside Propolis Extract.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named twenty-first on this serum's list, alongside Propolis Extract.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named twenty-second on this serum's list, alongside Propolis Extract.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum 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 serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Propolis Extract and all. We match this serum 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?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Adenosine. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Propolis Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Beta-Glucan and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum is a 50ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Propolis Extract, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Adenosine, 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 serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum IUNIK sells in Korea, Propolis Extract and all.
How to use
- After toner, before moisturizer.
- Apply a few drops over the face and neck.
- Follow with a moisturizer.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
