| 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. | At-home microneedling in a bottle. The spicules are made from freshwater sponges and feel like tiny prickles as you massage them in — the sensation is alarming the first time but completely normal. Over 4-8 weeks, it genuinely improves texture, reduces pore visibility, and smooths scarring. Start with the 100 concentration before graduating to 300 or 700. |
