| Verdict | CNP Laboratory's hero product and one of K-beauty's bestselling treatment ampoules — propolis extract leading the INCI at meaningful concentration (the brand's black-propolis claim), plus honey extract + niacinamide + panthenol for the layered glow base. The texture is sticky-glossy: love-it-or-hate-it, but the formulation builds genuine next-morning glow over 4-6 weeks of consistent use. | iUNIK signature product and one of the best-kept secrets in sensitive-skin K-beauty. 70% beta-glucan — a powerhouse humectant and soothing agent — combined with a minimalist supporting cast. The result is a serum that hydrates like hyaluronic acid but also calms reactive skin the way centella does. Cult favorite for a reason. |
