Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe IUNIK Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum is a calming, nourishing, brightening serum to revitalize dry and sensitive skin. Made with 70% of propolis to soothe irritated skin and 12% of sea buckthorn, which is rich in Vitamin C to brighten the skin. Rose flower water and portulaca oleracea extract are also present to moisturize, while niacinamide and adenosine fight wrinkles while evening the skin tone. This serum is perfect for dull or tired skin in need of a pick-me-up.
Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum is a lightweight serum from IUNIK. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 31 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycosyl Trehalose.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Allantoin and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
