Oriva Scientific Assessment

The serum combines the anti-inflammatory and healing properties of propolis extract with the brightening and sebum-regulating effects of niacinamide. A small amount of Betaine Salicylate provides gentle exfoliation, while other botanical extracts like Centella Asiatica and Tea Tree further soothe and protect the skin, promoting a clear and radiant complexion.

Target User: Individuals with dull, inflamed, or acne-prone skin looking for a serum to soothe irritation, improve skin tone, minimize pores, and achieve a healthy glow. It is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Avoid If: While generally well-tolerated, those with known allergies to bee products should avoid propolis. Individuals with extremely reactive skin should perform a patch test.
