I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The jar is huge and not very hygienic, it will last ages (probably 1-2 years?) and you have to keep opening the lid and dipping the spatula in, also it must be difficult to get the product from the very bottom when it's ending
- I wouldn't say this is "all in one" as it's not enough on its own to replace the essence-serum step and certainly not enough as a moisturizer
- Almost everytime I have put Honey AIO for night, next day I have a couple very small whiteheads, from 1-5, is it somehow related, I don't know? I skipped the AIO for a week and when used again, 4 small whiteheads. Nothing big or irritated but annoying! Is it causing them or just bringing something to surface that is already there?
- This product piqued my interest because so many report it helping the redness but I don't think it particularly helps mine
- Might leave a sticky feeling if you don't put a cream on top but I don't think the stickiness is even that bad
+ I actually think this ampoule has a bit of brightening effect on my face
+ Feels soothing immediately after I put it on
+ Feels moisturizing/hydrating too, but not as much as Scinic's Snail AIO
+ Smells actually really nice: very faint natural honey
+ Absorbs well (if I don't put a lot)
+ Pleasant product overall if we ignore how stupid the jar is

+ Lots of "good" ingredients based on the list but we don't really know how much they actually have put them there and if something has been diluted etc because Korean ingredient lists aren't the same as in Europe (Scinic says it's 90% honey extract)
+ Very inexpensive
+ No irritation, no rash

* I would like to love this product and rave about it and be giddy how cheap it is for being such a pleasant multitasker... but in the end, I think there is something that is causing those whiteheads or bringing them to surface, BUT I've heard that only exfoliating products should do that and otherwise it's irritation. Or maybe it just didn't play well with my other products?
* I prefer to have my products in smaller size because for me it's a challenge to finish them anyway and I'd like to do it in a reasonable time (I try to aim to 3-6 months but I'll be happy with anything under the best before date!) and if I like it, get a new fresh product
* I will use the Scinic Honey AIO from now on as a neck and decollete "cream", I suppose, and if there is some emergency (but what that could be?) I will put it on my face as well. If I start getting whiteheads on my neck then it will become my hand and feet moisturizer...
* Also I will look into decanting it to some other bottle so that it's actually usable but the sad thing is, I don't feel like I'm in a hurry to do that which means it's not very exciting product after the initial high!
* I am looking forward to trying some other propolis and honey products as I don't think they are the reason for whiteheads but if they are I guess I will find out later

Buy again?
No.
Worth the money?
Well, the jar is huge, the product is pleasant and seems to be doing what it promises to do (moisturizing, soft skin, a bit brightening which is probably what they mean by the writing on the package: "hydro-radiant") so I definitely recommend trying it but get a decant if you can! Also have some sort of plan B in case you feel like it's not quite living up to the expectations and hype. I think it suits all skin types.
