iUNIK Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum (50ml)

What It Is

A brightening, nourishing serum formulated to calm, revitalize, and hydrate skin. Designed especially for sensitive or stressed skin, but suitable for many skin types. It combines high proportions of propolis and sea buckthorn / Hippophae rhamnoides for antioxidant and vitamin‑rich effects.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles

• Propolis Extract (~70%)
  A bee‑derived resin that has anti‑inflammatory, anti‑microbial, and soothing properties. Helps with barrier repair, calming irritation, and general skin health.

• Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract (~12%)
  Rich in natural vitamin C, carotenoids, and antioxidants. Contributes brightening, nourishment, and helps protect skin from external stressors.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
  Helps even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots/hyperpigmentation, control excess oil, and support barrier function.

• Adenosine
  Known for its anti‑wrinkle / anti‑aging effects, helps smooth fine lines and supports skin repair.

• Additional botanical extracts: Centella asiatica, purslane, witch hazel, ginkgo, etc., which add soothing, antioxidant, and skin‑calming effects.

• Humectants & moisturizers: glycerin, hyaluronic acid, betaine, etc., to help with hydration and prevent tightness or dryness.

• Supportive ingredients for texture & stability: emollients, mild preservatives, pH‑buffers, and so on.

Texture & Feel

• Lightweight serum texture that spreads easily and absorbs fairly well.

• Leaves a bit of a sheen / glow rather than matte finish.

• Might feel slightly tacky initially, but settles into the skin.

• Smell: mild, some herbal / natural / slightly floral undertones (from botanicals like rose water etc.).

Benefits / What It Does

• Soothes irritated, reddened, or sensitive skin.

• Provides antioxidant protection, helping to reduce damage from environmental stress (e.g., pollution, UV).

• Brightens dull complexion over time; helps even out skin tone and fade mild hyperpigmentation.

• Helps with hydration and improving skin texture.

• Supports skin barrier recovery and strengthens resilience.

Recommended Use

• After cleansing (and toner / light water‑essence), apply a few drops over the face.

• Gently pat or press into skin for better absorption.

• Use morning and/or evening depending on your routine.

• If used in the morning, follow with sunscreen to protect against UV (which can undo brightening efforts).

Things to Consider / Possible Drawbacks

• Sensitive skin users may experience mild irritation initially (especially if using other actives like acids or retinoids).

• Because of propolis & botanical extracts, possibility of allergic or reactive response if you have bee product sensitivities.

• Fragrance‑adjacent ingredients (e.g. some essential oils or natural scent components) may bother very sensitive skin.

• Brightening effects may take several weeks of consistent use; not likely to produce dramatic change overnight.

• The serum may feel a little sticky / tacky initially, especially in humid weather or if layering over creams.

Summary in Brief

A well‑rounded serum that focuses on calming, brightening, and nourishing skin via a high content of propolis and vitamin‑rich sea buckthorn, plus niacinamide and other botanicals. Good choice if you want glow + barrier care with mild antioxidant protection, but best introduced gradually especially if your skin is reactive.
