Honey in Joseon
Hwang Jini is known to have spread Honey residue on dry and chapped skin, like a wash-off mask used today. Propolis is obtained by bees from the resin of trees and plays a role in protecting the honeycomb from bactera.
While the amount of honey that can be obtained from a single honeycomb is about 20kg, propolis is only 0.1g which is 1/200, making it a vert precious ingredient

Magic?!
My skin often looks like it’s having some kind of allergic reaction to God knows what. It looks raised and bumpy, usually around my period. I have very sensitive skin and after reading other reviews thought it would be worth a try. WOW. I used some last night and my skin is CLEAR!! I’m so impressed!!

never looking back
I started using this about a month ago and have noticed such a difference in my skin as soon as the first few days. I was having issues with my skin looking dull whenever I wasn’t wearing makeup, now my skin is noticeably brighter and I feel a lot more confident with a bare face. it hasn’t made a noticeable difference with my hyperpigmentation, but it has helped even out my skin tone all over my face. this is a new staple in my skin care routine!

Niacinamide reaction
I love beauty of joseon products, clean beauty is always my go to, however I still should’ve done a test patch before applying the glow serum all over my face, I guess me and Niacinamide aren’t friends it made me break out with red rashes all over my neck and cheeks. The calming serum has been very helpful in the redness and irritation, just a helpful reminder to do a test patch on your shoulder or somewhere if you have sensitive skin like me. Niacinamide is NOT for everyone and that’s okay!

Not that great
I purchased this because of what the reviews were saying, but honestly this doesn’t do much. It gives you a glow and a bit of hydration for like 5-10 minutes but that’s really it.It has no long term visible effects. There are other products that do a lot better! Save your money.

Fantastic product
Korean skincare is top tier & I’m pleased to have discovered them and will alway incorporate their products in my daily routine. Not to sound dramatic, but this is my absolute favorite product to apply each day. I have very oily, acne prone skin. I use Cerave resurfacing retinol 2x per week & Paula’s choice SA toner 3x per week so it’s important for me to include hydrating ingredients to prevent dryness and/or peeling. I stumbled across BOJ glow serum on TikTok & decided to order it after looking up the ingredients. This serum is super hydrating and melts into my skin and I wake up to the most glorious glow & my skin feels smooth & hydrated. Im way less oily and my skin appears to have less texture from acne scars. I deducted a star because the dropper is finicky. It doesn’t allow you to grab a lot of product at one time but I’ve discovered that if you only put the tip of the dropper in, it pulls more product that way. Other than that, this serum is a solid 9/10 for me!! I will always repurchase 🙌🏽

Skin like glass
I’m already on my second bottle, my little girl and I really loved this product! I went on a little spree of purchasing TikTok products, and of the five I bought only this one and one other came out on top. I’m currently waiting on the second bottle to arrive from Amazon! This product (and the other one) have made my skin and my daughters skin so bright even in tone and was able to reach that glass effect we were looking for. We pat it into our face each night for a month, we looked like glazed doughnuts but it was so soothing and so worth it! We would put it on at night after washing our faces and let it do it’s thing. Every morning I’d wake up and my face was clear & all one color. I even started going to work without foundation after using this product, makeup and foundation just felt heavy and dirty on my skin. After using the oil makeup just made my face feel clogged and suffocated in comparison to the light and clean feel I’d wake up with & One thing about me is I would never leave the house without doing my make up, if I was checking the mail, I put on make up, if I was taking the kids for a walk I put on make up no matter what, if I left this house I had make up on however, with this oil, I literally went to work for weeks without foundation. I did my mascara & a little bit of lip tint, and that was it. My skin felt so pretty and looked so vibrant it felt wrong to put makeup over it lol. This product is definitely worth a try.

Wasn’t helpful to me
The product feels fine on the skin but you need two to three droppers full to cover the face and neck. I didn’t not notice any change in skin appearance or texture, and didn’t feel like it lasted (no prolonged hydration) on my skin after sealing it with moisturizer/sunscreen. I am all for Korean skincare, but this is a very tiny amount and doesn’t go far – in quantity/time and results.

Not a lot of product
This product is really good and does it’s job. However I was disappointed with a few things. First of all, the packaging makes it difficult to get the serum out of the container. There also isn’t a lot of serum at all, and it has a thick texture so it gets used up easily. I would’ve also liked for it to be more pore clearing since it has niacinimide, but it mostly just makes you glowy. This is fine but if you are looking for a serum to reduce pores I don’t recommend this one.

Love it <3
I did notice the product wasn’t filled to the top but i saw throughout the rest of the reviews that it’s a common issue. it doesn’t truly bother me i’m assuming it’s so the serum doesn’t spill out. I purchased the niacinamide a couple days ago and i’m in love. It’s very hydrating and it made my skin plum and glowy. I love the consistency of the serum it isn’t too liquify I think it’s just perfect. I will definitely be repurchasing in the future and soon I will try out that other serums. It’s totally worth the hype is it’s much more gentle and refreshing then the ordinarys niacinamide serum. I extremely recommend!

Esthetician recommended, pleasantly surprised!
I get regular facials, and my esthetician recommended this (along with a chemical exfoliant) to keep my oily skin tame in the summer. I was pleasantly surprised, I usually break out with new products, but nothing noticeable after using this about 3 months. Great value, love that it has niacinamide…it’s a winner!

Wish I had taken “before and after” pics!
This review is written roughly two months after the initial purchase and I have been using it faithfully every day. I’m writing it now because I am reordering.First of all: this isn’t a cure-all and it doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s been GREAT for its intended purpose in my experience. I have very moody skin (combo skin, acne-prone, hormonal breakouts, etc.) and searching for products that help is a hassle at best. Taking ”before and after” photos is a bummer when you never see improvement (and often see it worsen), so I’ve long since stopped doing so, but I almost wish I had this time!Here’s what I saw:1.) brighter skin2.) better overall texture3.) reduced breakouts4.) less inflammationI’m not sure it directly helps scarring, but I know that the reduced frequency of my breakouts and the anti-inflammatory properties have allowed my skin time to heal the acne scars on its own.To be clear, I still get breakouts! Again, it’s not a cure-all and it didn’t magically fix all the issues I have. But adding this to my skincare routine has helped more than just about everything else I’ve tried out in the last several years at least. I find a product that works and I stick with it; I’m definitely planning on keeping this one in the routine!

Staple in my skincare routine
I have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. I also have some sunspots on my cheeks. I am so happy I found this… my pores are so much smaller, and my skin is glowing. Usually I get these very bad breakouts before and during my period. But since I’ve incorporated this serum into my routine, it’s been keeping those breakouts at bay. I still get one or two small pimples, but it’s significantly better than what it used to be. The serum has also helped restore my damaged moisture barrier in less than a week. My sun spots are almost gone too. I can forego ALL my other kbeauty products, but not this serum.I never write reviews, but this serum has been life-changing and deserves the recognition. This stuff works!!!!The only con I can think of is the first bottle I received was maybe 60% full, and the second one I received was 80% full.

misleading
for a product that promotes a “glow” on your face after putting it on, it’s very false. however, i can say that there are pros to this product but it doesn’t necessarily have to do with increasing the glow in your face. this bottle is very small and its quite hard to pump out the product. considering its small, i managed to use the right amount for an entire month. after a month, there were no changes or differences in my skin. the lead of this product was false, does not help your face to glow or what not. what i can say is that it’s a good product to use when you run out of primer. its goes well under your foundation and concealer. one thing that i did great for skin was adding more moisture to my skin along with my other skin products. i tend to use this product only in the mornings and i noticed after several hours, my skin begins to feel more oily and sticky. although that did not concern or affect the way i feel about this product, but the fact that my face didnt have a glow to it even after using it for a month.

Holy Grail
I picked up the glow serum and I love this stuff. I’m 23, female, and have oily skin that was severely dried out by my previous face washes. My acne was not severe, but I always had at least 3-4 severe, cystic pimples. I also have OCD that causes impulsive skin picking. So my skin was a crusty, flaky oil slick with painful pimples. I finally decided to do something about it and overhauled my routine.Here is my routine, though I won’t elaborate extensively on anything but this serum:I first cleanse my face with Dear Klairs gentle black oil then rinse.Then I use the Neutrogena Hydro Boost cleansing gel to wash my face.I dry off my face and then I break out this bad boy. Yes, while its still damp to the touch, but not soaking wet. Just patted dry. I use about 3-4 drops. It recommends 1-2, but I have a big head. So one for forehead and one for each cheek. This is probably excessive, though, because it does distribute very easily.After that’s soaked up, I use the neutrogena hydro boost gel moisturizer. This routine is done morning and night.I’ve been doing this for over a month now. My skin is smooth, blackhead free, and pimple free for the first time since elementary. Because I have no dry flakes, I have nothing to pick at anymore. I actually got emotional one day because I have NEVER had good skin, but I do now. My skin looks amazing.Now, because I changed up everything at once, I was unsure if my results were because of this or something else. But last week, I forgot this at my partner’s house after spending the weekend. I continued using everything but this for 3 days. For the first time in a month, I broke out. One cystic pimple on each temple and two on my cheek.I started using this again about 4 days ago and my pimples are all but gone. All thats left are faint red marks and I know they’ll go away soon. Not a single new pimple or blackhead to be found.My long-winded point is that this product works best along with a routine, of course, but it is fantastic and worth the buy. I can’t imagine what I’d do if I couldn’t get it anymore. If you’re at a loss with your acne or sensitive skin, give it a try.

ehh
this product did moisturize my skin & acted as a good barrier serum, but i don’t really see any differences in dark spots ??? i like the texture of the product & the fact that it made my skin feel really hydrated, but i won’t be repurchasing, as i am looking for a product that will help me fade my dark spots & smooth the texture on my face. i use adapalene, but i also like to have a good serum to use with it! i give this product 3 stars, as i didn’t have any issues with it & it was very hydrating, it just seems like i used the whole bottle for what???? little to no results🥲

I’m not sure
I got this and it looked like somebody used it lol, like it was not filled to the top which isn’t cool but i’ve seen other people saying the same thing in the reviews so i’m not too worried. Also, there was serum stuck in the dropper that had turned gooey and I had to stick something sharp in the bottom of the dropper to get it to come out. It was literally like goo.

Second bottle but highly suspicious..
This is my second time buying, the bottle I bought the first time vs the one I just received look completely different. On the left the bottle seems to be broken where the dropper goes in comparison to the empty bottle on the right. Keep in mind I did not find any broken parts in the box. Maybe a defect? The text on the left is bolded more compared to the bottle on the right. And the caps look completely different. The serum itself seems to be the same. But now I’m not even sure if I can use the serum. Anyways… I’ll probably start shopping on stylevana or something now just to be safe!

THICC
I’ve recently revamped my entire skincare regimen and heard amazing things about this brand, but especially this serum. Side note, I have dry skin and although I’m not acne prone I have very small blemishes around my chin and sometimes my cheek. If you are looking for a GLOW, like a glass skin vibe, this is for you! I’ve only used it for 1 week during my daytime routine so I can’t speak for the other benefits, besides that it definitely contributes to my all day hydration. My only issue is that I’m pretty sure this serum causes pilling with my current moisturizer and sun screen. I like this serum enough that I’m willing to find other moisturizers and sunscreens that work will with it.Pros – extremely hydrating/moisturizing, leaves a very glowy appearanceCons – extremely thick serum, takes a while to sink into the skinThe other products I use in my daytime routine are: La Roche Posay hydrating gentle cleanser, cosrx propolis toner, cosrx 96 snail mucin essence, La Roche Posay double repair moisturizer, and Hero force shield sunscreen

Smells nice
I heard about these products on Instagram and decided to give this face oil a try because the price was so much better than what I’ve been paying for face oils. It smells nice and feels good on the skin and absorbs well. The only thing is that I haven’t used it long enough to know just how much my skin loves it because I’m also using another face oil. I’ll definitely go back to it when I can use it more consistently to see the full effects.

Nice glow on your face
I bought this product because I love their sunscreen, but for some reason this serum doesn’t go well with my skin type. I have sensitive skin and I’ve use the ordinary serum and decided to buy this one because it have similar ingredients to the ordinary. But like I stated earlier this serum doesn’t goes well with my skin I get breakout the next day. It could be that my face needs to get use to it, so I get back to you on that. On the other hand it does leave a nice glow on your face.

Nice Serum
After buying the serum sampler pack my skin preferred this one so I bought the full size version when it was on sale for $13. It’s not worth more money IMO. It’s nice, offers some moisturizing affects but it’s not a life changing product. Again, it’s a good addition to your skin routine if it’s on sale.

More glow than the sun
*For reference, I have very fair, sensitive skin & red hair. My skin is very picky (and is suddenly very dry because of a change in my climate).*No smell. Light weight. Hydrating without being oily. Not sticky or tacky.This literally feels like a huge drink of water for your face. I layered this product 3-4x AM & PM — literally put a layer, let my skin soak it up, add another layer — for the first week (I had extremely irritated, dry skin) and within 7 days, my skin was glowing!!!! I now use it in the mornings and evenings because I like the lightweight texture it has.No breakouts. No dry patches, rash, or redness. Combined with the rest of my routine, this product left my skin glowy and got rid of my flaky, dry skin. Trust me when I say my skin 👏🏻 DRANK 👏🏻 this 👏🏻 up 👏🏻It’s worth the hype.

Beauty Of Joseon Glow Serum
I bought a 30ml bottle of Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum from Amazon online. It was delivered to me on time and safely packaged. The serum itself has a clear smooth texture that my skin can readily absorb. It is odorless, non-irritating, and gives my skin a healthy appearance that lasts the entire day. I normally overlay it with a facial sunblock before I leave home. It is a great product. I am satisfied with the results.

Good product.
This serum is overall pretty decent. I haven’t noticed much difference in the 5 months I’ve been using this product, although it gives me a nice glow and calms down my redness as I have pretty sensitive eczema-prone skin. Formula is well-made and the consistency isn’t too watered down or thickened.

One of, if not the best serums I’ve ever tried!
Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)This product truly transformed my skin! From the moment I started using this serum I saw results!The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. I can confidently say that my skin is glowing like never before!What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly in my morning and evening routines without worrying about it disrupting my makeup or other skincare products.The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. My face feels incredibly smooth and moisturized throughout the day.The only downside is the price. I think it’s a bit expensive for the amount of product you get, and I would take off points, bringing it down to a 4 / 5 stars. However, it’s so good that I’ll still leave it at 8/5 stars!

I was pretty impressed by this serum. I wasn’t expecting a lot just based on the price but the serum itself has a nice texture and I noticed my skin was visibly more plump and smooth after using this. My complexion was overall more glows after using it for a week. Only downside is I wish there was more per bottle!
