Dermatologist Note

Propolis is a resin-like substance produced by bees with potent antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties — over 300 active compounds have been identified. Combined with niacinamide, this serum addresses both active breakouts (propolis) and post-acne hyperpigmentation (niacinamide). A 2020 study showed propolis extract reduced acne lesions by 52% over 8 weeks.

Based on published clinical literature and dermatological research.
