Our verdict

A multi-tasking serum that leans on BHA for pore texture and propolis for calming, worth trying for uneven tone and visible pores but not meant to be layered under other exfoliating actives.

Overview

A lightweight drop serum combining propolis extract, niacinamide and BHA in a 30 ml alcohol-free bottle. Beauty of Joseon positions it to hydrate, soothe and minimize the look of pores.

Pairing a soothing ingredient like propolis with an exfoliating one like BHA is a common approach in Korean skincare: one calms while the other works on texture and pores. Because BHA is an active exfoliant, this serum sits closer to a treatment product than a pure hydrator, even though hydrating is listed among its benefits.

  • Propolis extract plus niacinamide and BHA
  • Alcohol free, 30 ml drop bottle
  • Targets pores, tone and hydration
  • Listed for all skin types

Who it's for

Suited to people who want pore refinement and soothing in one step rather than layering separate products. Anyone already using another BHA or AHA product should be cautious about doubling up on exfoliation.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Combines a soothing ingredient with an exfoliating one
  • Alcohol free formula
  • Addresses pores, tone and hydration in one step
  • 30 ml drop bottle for controlled dosing
Cons
  • Contains BHA, so it shouldn't be layered with other exfoliants
  • No scent information listed
  • Drop dispenser may need several presses to cover the full face

Performance notes

Propolis extract is included as a soothing, skin-conditioning ingredient, niacinamide works on tone and barrier support, and BHA exfoliates inside pores where it can loosen oil and debris that surface-level AHAs don't reach. The alcohol-free base keeps the formula from adding extra drying on top of the BHA.
