"The By Wishtrend Propolis Energy Boosting Essence was nice, I like propolis, but I'm finding myself moving away from propolis as an anti-inflammatory ingredient because I already love another product so much for fighting inflammation that I don't feel like I need to keep looking for extracts to give me that. This essence is hydrating, but it's more than that, it's also calming and soothing. Still, I probably won't repurchase it."

"I love this because it uses 15% of propolis which I've really shown you how it can be a nice alternative to niacinamide, but propolis is definitely an ingredient that pairs up well with others. Here it's being combined with 59% of heart leaf extract, which is another one of those gentle skin clarifying types of ingredients. It's antibacterial, it's anti-inflammatory, it's hydrating for the skin. But then they've also combined these two ingredients with zinc PCA, which is another gentle ingredient that can be quite helpful for oil control on the skin. [...] Zinc PCA is one of the more gentle ingredients, it doesn't strip the skin, but it just helps to encourage a little bit more oil control and balance within the sebum. You see how all these three ingredients really do help as an everyday type of serum."

"I absolutely love the serum, but I forgot how well the essence actually boosts the benefits of the serum. A product like this is so great because it's propolis and heartleaf along with zinc PCA. These are all really gentle ingredients that respect the moisture of your skin. They're not as stringent or stripping, but they really do help with inflammation, they help with bacteria, they help with acne, and really help to calm the skin down and facilitate healing. The essence in combination really just makes the results so much more robust. It really speeds them up while still being gentle."
