COSRX Propolis Ampoule Glow-Boosting Serum 30ml — 73.5% Propolis, Hydrating & Soothing

COSRX Propolis Ampoule is a lightweight, glow-enhancing facial serum made with 73.5% propolis extract to hydrate, smooth and brighten tired-looking skin.

This concentrated ampoule from COSRX blends a high proportion of propolis extract with skin-calming ingredients in a fast-absorbing, non-greasy base. Designed in the Korean skincare tradition, it layers easily under moisturizers or makeup and aims to improve skin texture and luminosity while supporting sensitivity. The formula is dermatologist-tested and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and animal testing.

How does this ampoule fit into my daily routine?

Use the COSRX Propolis Ampoule after cleansing and toning but before your moisturizer. A few drops are enough: pat it in until absorbed, then follow with cream or sunscreen for daytime protection. It's suitable for morning or evening use and plays well with most active treatments when introduced gradually.

• Apply 2–3 drops to face and neck after toner.
• Layer under a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
• Use AM/PM; pair with SPF in daytime.

What will I notice on my skin and when?

Many users report immediate smoothing and a subtle glow after application, thanks to the high propolis content and hydrating base. Ongoing use over 2–6 weeks can reveal improved texture and more even tone as hydration and surface renewal are supported. Individual results vary by skin type and regimen.

• Instant: lightweight hydration and soft skin feel.
• 2–6 weeks: improved texture and more uniform radiance.
• Good for layering without pilling under makeup.

Is the formula gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin?

COSRX formulates this ampoule to be skin-friendly and dermatologist-tested, minimizing common irritants by excluding parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Because it contains a high concentration of natural propolis extract, patch testing is recommended for those with bee-product sensitivities. If you have severe sensitivities, introduce it slowly into your routine.

• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested.
• Free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
• Patch test first if you react to bee-derived ingredients.

Which skin concerns does the COSRX Propolis Ampoule target?

The ampoule focuses on hydration, skin surface refinement, and adding a luminous finish. It’s formulated to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone by improving moisture levels and skin smoothness. It’s not a medical treatment but a cosmetic serum that supports healthier-looking skin over time.

• Hydrates and plumps surface fine lines.
• Enhances natural glow and reduces dullness.
• Supports a more even-looking complexion with continued use.

Who is this for? The COSRX Propolis Ampoule suits anyone seeking a nourishing, glow-enhancing serum that layers effortlessly into a multi-step or pared-back routine. It’s especially appealing to people with dry, dehydrated, or dull skin looking for a non-greasy boost and to sensitive-skin users who avoid harsh preservatives and sulfates. Note: if you have an allergy to bee products, consult a professional and patch-test before regular use.
