Beauty of Joseon — Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide 30ml

Beauty of Joseon's Glow Serum has become one of the most viral K-beauty serums on social media — and its formula explains why. The base is an unusual 60% concentration of propolis extract, a slightly viscous active ingredient extracted from beehives, known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and nourishing properties. Beyond propolis, 2% niacinamide regulates sebum secretion and improves skin texture. Betaine Salicylate (0.5%) is a gentle BHA — a more tolerated form of salicylate than salicylic acid — that gently exfoliates pores and contributes to radiance. This trio forms a versatile anti-blemish + glow serum, suitable for oily skin, enlarged pores, and redness.

ParaDermia selected this serum for its pack_CLEAR and pack_CALM positioning: it combines the purifying action of BHA, the soothing properties of propolis and Centella Asiatica, and the sebum-regulating effects of niacinamide in a single product, with fast absorption and no sticky residue. The formula also includes Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) extract, turmeric, healing Tamanu oil (Calophyllum Inophyllum), and numerous soothing botanical extracts. Fragrance-free.

Contains Betaine Salicylate (0.5% BHA): apply SPF50+ if used in the morning (brand recommendation + pharmacist standard for all BHAs). Can be used both morning and evening according to the BOJ FAQ. Pregnancy condition: even gentle BHA, medical advice recommended. Not vegan: contains propolis extract (bee secretion).

For external use. Avoid the eye area. In case of sensitivity or irritation, space out applications.
