Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
Learn more about Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideButylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.
1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.
In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.
Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create gel consistency within products.
Carbomer is commonly found in many types of cosmetics products. It is found to be safe in concentrations up to 15%. However, a high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Most products contain 1% of less of carbomer.
Arginine is an amino acid that is important for human development. Your body uses is it to produce hair keratin and skin collagen.
As a cosmetic ingredient, Arginine has antioxidant properties and can also help repair damaged skin. This ingredient is derived either synthetically or from animals.
Arginine isn't fungal acne safe when used in the presence of other lipids (fats, fatty acids, oils, esters, etc). Oils and fats occur naturally within the skin, so take caution when using Arginine if you're prone to fungal acne.

Clogged pores! 😭
I really wanted to love this, but after using it for a few days on the dry patches under my eyes and nose, I noticed it had settled into my pores and started forming blackheads. 😭
It makes a nice hand cream for my bathroom, though.

I was hoping this would be a lot more moisturizing for me on its own. It feels nice, light, and easy to spread but within a couple hours or so it seemed like I hadn't put anything on. Also, I didn't really smell it when I tried it on my hand but that oaty smell really hit me when I put it on my face. I don't like the scent.
The next morning my skin was flaky over my eyebrows which is crazy because my forehead has always been more on the oily side, never had flaking skin there! I bought a centella ampoule at the same time so I ended up layering the cream with that and it felt better but still not enough. I think I'll just use it for my hands.

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!
You can try out pure propolis, i've heard it does wonders for acne scars, hyperpigmentation and dullness. It can come in a liquid form, and you can apply it with a cotton pad...
You can try out pure propolis, i've heard it does wonders for acne scars, hyperpigmentation and dullness. It can come in a liquid form, and you can apply it with a cotton pad and let it sit overnight, like a toner. Currently trying it🤗
