Great product but not for oily skin
I've seen this product being recommended for combination skin and being praised by its brightening effects. I thought I should try it but it was a mistake. Shea butter, Beeswax, Rice oil and a full list of other emolients made it impossible for my oily acne skin to handle it. I think the target skin type here is dry/very dry skin. Nonetheless, the consistency is beautiful and very elegant and the few times I used it as a night cream, it had a super brightening power in the next morning. Unfortunately I could not use it regularly and had to recycle it as hand creme.

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 propolis might want to take extra precautions).
Plus, you get a really good amount (65ml, 15ml more than a regular sized moisturizer) for such a low price. And if you're still not convinced about purchasing the full size (because let's be honest, if you don't like it, it's way too much product to throw it away), i've seen some packs with mini versions of some of the products from the COSRX "Propolis" line, and they also have a great price.

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!
