Dr Ceuracle (formerly known a Leegeehaam) has been a heavy-hitter in the K-Beauty industry for years and this latest version of this iconic serum is to die-for!
Formulated with 70% Propolis extract to nourish and calm skin, and 12% Sea buckthorn extract to brighten skin, this serum provides strong anti-inflammatory effects and is great for all skin types. The formula hits the perfect mix between not too heavy and not too light, making this propolis serum perfect for all skin types.
Unlike some thicker formulations, APLB’s propolis serum is comprised predominantly of bee pollen extract (43%), which gives it a lovely light, almost watery texture that is perfect for oily skin. It also contains 2% niacinamide to assist with brightening. The texture is perfect for layering and won’t weigh-down oily skin types. We also love that it’s fragrance and artificial colour free!
