It does give an amazing glow, but it doesn't last long.
In terms of calming acne, brightening and hydration, It didn't deliver like promised as it feels oily even on my combination skin.

I really like the serum and I like the small yet effective niacinamide content, it feels great on the skin. Unfortunately it can also be fairly irritating and gives me bumps on my face, so I don't know if I will be able to continue using...

wouldn’t try again
a bit overpriced especially considering how small the bottle is. gave my skin a glow and slightly faded dark spots but not in a way that would make me want to repurchase. i don’t doubt that there more effective serums...

A hype? Or maybe not the right product for my skin

My holy grail used to be The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% serum, but recently it caused cystic acne on my skin, amongst other things. This serum has a far lower niacinamide content (only 2%) and it works wonders on my skin.

Like others have said, I also got acne from using this (never seen such reviews on other websites). It's VERY hydrating and it repairs your skin barrier, but it caused a lot of acne on my forehead. I stopped using it on my forehead after about 3 weeks and the acne went away. I used other niacinamide products without an issue before but I tried propolis for the first time. I'm not sure if that's the cause of acne. Before using this, though, my cheeks were very dry due to the cold dry weather and previous retinol attempts. I can say that it seems to have helped with that. So, I kept using it below my forehead, but I wouldn't purchase it again.

i like the consistency but that’s about it. really tried to like this product as i went through two bottles of it. everytime i used this product it would leave a shiny film on my skin that would pill under makeup and/or moisturizer no matter what i did. i suspect it also caused closed comedones from product buildup. after i ceased use the pilling and cc’s went away. didn’t improve my skin in any way.

Glow yes acne no
Well it's my first time trying niacinamide and I don't like it (new red spots appeared) , or maybe I am allergic to propolis idkn tbh, but it does give glow
