I don't even know how to rate or react to this product. The cream arrived in a jar with a cucumber scent and a label that says "with propolis extract". The jar didn't have a protective film cover, just a screw-on lid, and the cream had spread all over the lid when I opened it. The consistency of the cream is pleasant, and there is a slight film effect after applying it, but there is no soothing effect (maybe it's just me). I applied it on my hands (with the cream that had spread on the lid), and after about 10 minutes, my skin started to itch slightly, so I washed it off immediately to avoid any further reactions. Therefore, I didn't test it for allergies for a whole day. In terms of consistency and scent, it strongly reminds me of a former Polish brand called Pond. Propolis? Even though it's supposed to have a scent resembling honey or beeswax that is closely related to honey, it's nowhere to be found! It clearly smells like cucumber! So either the manufacturer wrongly labeled their creams (confusing the stickers), or they just labeled it as "propolis" but it's not. I specifically checked the ingredients and description - cucumber is not mentioned in this cream. There is another cream in the manufacturer's product line that looks similar and has cucumber extract, which can be found here: [link]. So, judging from everything, it seems that this is the same cream, but in a jar labeled "propolis")))))) I bought it to try because the price was reasonable, and I have had good experiences with toothpaste from this manufacturer. The price for the test was not high, but I won't risk experimenting with more creams. It's a great disappointment.
The manufacturer has removed the strong scent - compared to the old propolis cream Bioton - and added nice ingredients, improving the formula. Now, the cream hardly smells at all, maybe just a faint hint of honey. I checked the ingredients on a cosmetics ingredient verification website, and they are very good, so it would have been a shame not to try this cream, especially at such a good price.
