I really love this product! Is super hydrating and a little bit on the thick side, but it doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all in oily skin, it absorbs really well without any pilling. It's also non-comedogenic so it won't break you out. And it doesn't have any kind of fragrance at all, so it's also great for sensitive skin. It really works for almost any skin type (only those who are allergic to Show more
This moisturizer gives your skin a very nice dewy finish. Which I love so much. It's also never caused me any breakouts or irritation. I love the whole propolis line. All the products are healing and super hydrating, and ever since I started using them my skin looks a little more healthy and clear!

In the beginning, this cream worked pretty well for my skin, but then I noticed that it started giving me a skin texture. Also, I feel like it is not giving any moisture to the skin at all and is only sitting on the top of the skin. Only bought it because of the good reviews on hwahae and forgot to check the whole ingredient list (cream contains silicons 😐). Wouldn't recommend buying it.
i liked it until it gave me tiny whiteheads across my cheeks. this happened after a few hours of application….(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
