Description
COSRX Propolis Hydrating Toner 150ml — Deep Hydration & Barrier Support with 72.6% Black Propolis
COSRX Propolis Hydrating Toner is a deeply nourishing, non-exfoliating hydrating toner powered by 72.6% black propolis extract — a natural beehive-derived ingredient celebrated for its healing, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This 150ml toner is designed to hydrate, soothe, and support the skin's natural barrier as part of a daily skincare routine.
This toner is entirely distinct from the COSRX PHA/BHA Clarifying Toner: there are no exfoliating acids here. The Propolis Hydrating Toner is focused purely on replenishing moisture, calming reactivity, and strengthening the barrier — making it the right choice for those who need hydration and soothing, not exfoliation.
Key Benefits
- 72.6% Black Propolis Extract: Propolis is a resinous material produced by bees with well-documented anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. At over 72%, this toner delivers a meaningful, concentrated dose — not a token inclusion.
- Intense Hydration: Hyaluronic acid draws and retains moisture in the skin, leaving it visibly plumped and soft throughout the day.
- Soothes & Calms Irritation: The anti-inflammatory activity of propolis helps reduce redness and discomfort — beneficial for reactive or eczema-prone skin.
- Barrier Repair: Allantoin and panthenol work together to promote healing and reinforce the skin's natural barrier, improving resilience against environmental stressors.
- Mild Blemish Control: Propolis's antibacterial properties offer gentle support for acne-prone skin without the dryness or irritation of stronger actives.
- Lightweight, Fast-Absorbing: The toner texture absorbs quickly with no residue — ready to be followed immediately by serum or moisturizer.
Key Ingredients

How To Use
1. After cleansing, apply COSRX Propolis Hydrating Toner as the first hydration step.
2. Method A (cotton pad): Apply a generous amount to a cotton pad and gently sweep across the face and neck.
3. Method B (hands): Pour a small amount into the palms and press gently into the skin — this method wastes less product and maximizes absorption.
4. Allow to absorb for 30–60 seconds.
5. Follow with essence, serum, or moisturizer.
6. Use morning and evening for best results.
Tip: In a Korean skincare layering routine, this toner works best after cleansing and before essences or serums. Multiple thin layers (the '7-skin method') can be applied on very dry skin for enhanced hydration.
FAQs
What is propolis and why is it used in skincare?
Propolis is a resinous substance produced by bees from tree sap and botanical compounds. It has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. In skincare, it is used to soothe, hydrate, and protect the skin.
How is this different from the COSRX PHA/BHA Clarifying Toner?
The COSRX Propolis Hydrating Toner contains no exfoliating acids — its purpose is hydration, soothing, and barrier repair. The PHA/BHA Clarifying Toner is an exfoliating treatment toner. They serve opposite functions and can both be part of a routine on alternating days.
Can I use this toner every day?
Yes. Unlike exfoliating toners that need to be cycled, this is a gentle hydrating toner safe for daily use both morning and evening.
Is this suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes. While it is not an acne treatment, propolis has antibacterial properties that provide mild support for blemish-prone skin. It hydrates without clogging pores and is non-irritating.
Can I use COSRX Propolis Toner and Snail Cream together?
Yes. A common routine is: Propolis Toner (first hydration step) → Snail Essence Cream (final moisturizing step). They complement each other well — the toner preps and hydrates, the cream locks in moisture and adds repair support.
