COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule 30 ml

I like everything I get from Cosrx but I LOVE the honey propolis line. Previously I jumped on the snail mucin hype train but was not impressed by those products on MY skin. My skin is combination; dry in winter, oily in tzone in summer. I have red cheeks and prone to lines as my skin gets drier. The honey propolis line is the GOAT if you truly want dewy, plump, smooth skin. I was using just the toner which I really liked but knew something was missing. I finally was able to get this ampule (it’s always sold out) and now my skincare is complete. It’s smooth and dries down without getting sticky or going matte like the snail mucin. My skin stays feeling hydrated allllll day, even after a full day of work.

I am honestly in shock from how well this product works. As a dry bish, I can tell you my face has seen better days in the winter. Everything looks dull and makeup HA looks awful. I had pretty much given up on the idea of ever looking hydrated until I tried this! Ladies and gents I introduce you to the miracle in the bottle! Completely safe to use for my insanely sensitive skin and gives me a dewy glow and plumpness that I never thought I’d see again after my twenties when my skin changed (to put it into perspective, I’m 37)! It does repair and live up to the hype! And the price point…. Yes please!

I received this product for free from Picky and Skin 1004 in exchange for my honest review. The Propolis Light Ampoule is composed of 83.3% Black Bee Propolis Extract along with 0.2% hyaluronic acid and 0.1% panthenol. These ingredients work together to reduce redness, soothe, hydrate and plump skin and to give it a honey like glow. I really like this ampoule and would definitely purchase it in the future. It is slightly thicker in texture than the acne serum but still absorbs well with no tackiness. My skin feels so hydrated but never oily with this ampoule. Dry, flaky skin is gone. My skin has more of a glow than before.

Excellent!

I am using these ampoules after the toner from the same line while my skin is still damp. I am very satisfied with the look and the feel on my skin after that. I use it at night, since it would be a bit too much in the morning for me, because I do have combination skin. After this I use a moisturizer to lock this in my skin. After using this my skin looks plumped and hydrated. I think this product would be good for people with sensitive skin, since skin sensitivity is sort of inflammation and it is proven that honey has antiinflammatory properties. So, something like this, with propolis can also be beneficial. My skin even feels refreshed after this and I have a little bit sensitive skin. Package is very cute with a little pipette which functions very good in my case.

Just okay

This is a viscous gel like serum with no fragrance. Never experienced any reactions to it. Used it at a time when my skin was very sensitive and dry from cold weather & overuse of actives. It had instant moisturizing effects but unfortunately did not last long, especially in the winter. My skin felt tight after using it and just never provided the softening or plumpness it claimed to give. This serum made it feel like I was adding an extra unnecessary step to my routine. I never noticed any long term effects that would make me want to repurchase this. It did help relieve some of the redness I would get and heal the skin but nothing too extreme or long lasting. Felt a bit oily in the summer time so I didn't like to pair it with makeup. Also, the packaging is not ... MoreThis is a viscous gel like serum with no fragrance.

The dropper doesn't reach the bottom so I had to keep it upside down so I could get the last bit of the product for the next use. I would not recommend. Rating 2-3/5.

My proven way to use this product

I've heard some point out that the product is very sticky, and it is a bit compared to some serums that immediately sink into your skin. What I have found that work for me is to incorporate it into a routine of use at nighttime. I use a buff puff type scrubber and exfoliate my skin and then after dying, I apply the Propolis Light Ampoule, working it upward before it starts to dry. I do this an hour or two before sleep, and then go to bed and let the product work overnight. In the morning, after it has done its magic, your face will not be sticky at all, and the product will have produced radiantly hydrated skin that glows like magic. I'm 61, male, but I have been taking care of my skin for years. I work outside in the sun often in my garden and go to the beach and ... MoreI've heard some point out that the product is very sticky, and it is a bit compared to some serums that immediately sink into your skin.

My skin tone is very pale, and yet I have no freckles or blemishes. I receive compliments often about how radiant and wrinkle free my skin looks. Most people assume I am 20 to 30 years younger than I am. That is what Propolis does for me. It is magic in a bottle and for me, I have found that using it at night is best, especially for you ladies who will likely wish to apply some makeup or cosmetics over it in the morning. I hope this helps other users benefit from the product.

Saved my skin

I’ve had oily acne prone skin all my adult life and recently ruined my skin with a hyperpigmentation fading skincare regiment from the inkey list (still love them it just didn’t work well for me) my skin became dehydrated and broke out so bad. It was honestly awful. I obviously picked at it and made everything worse and could barely look at myself in the mirror. Then James Welsh recommended this in a Korean skincare breakdown and it’s honestly working so well for me. I use this twice a day along side the inkey list tranexamic acid serum, the cerave hydrating lotion, the zitsticka mega shade spf 50 and an occasional retinol/ vitamin c on days when my skin has no active breakouts. I’m not one to leave reviews but this skincare routine has me looking the best I’ve ... MoreI’ve had oily acne prone skin all my adult life and recently ruined my skin with a hyperpigmentation fading skincare regiment from the inkey list (still love them it just didn’t work well for me) my skin became dehydrated and broke out so bad.

Will buy over and over again

I am 63 and have highly reactive sensitive skin with rosacea. I have tried many serums over the years. This is the best, hands down. I noticed my skin was looking dull, lifeless, and just plain bad. I'll admit, I'd slacked off on my skin care routine, doing the bare minimum. My daughter gave me a bottle of this. I started off using it alone then moisturizing for a month. It worked wonders. I decided I'd try it mixed with an equal amount of hyaluronic acid; two drops of each covers my face and neck. My skin is glowing and my rosacea has improved dramatically. This is a holy grail serum for me.

Works well for me

Dry and acne prone skin here! I've never really had any acne growing up and into my early 20s (mostly because I was on the pill) so I never had more issues controlling it in my life. I live in a place thats dry all year round so my skin is always dry and dehydrated. This product leaves my skin feeling plump and glowing and I am attributing to my acne control partially to this. I went off of the product for a 2-3 weeks as a test (and because I ran out of it) and my skin did NOT like that. My acne came back quite a bit and I felt my skin was losing its bounce. Once I started using it again it resumed normalcy, definitely can't live without it. I use it 4-6 times a week depending on the week (probably overkill tbh). The texture is light and hydrating but does not feel ... MoreDry and acne prone skin here!
