about CNP Laboratory.
CNP Laboratory made its name with propolis: its first propolis ampoule launched in 2005, and it is still the brand's signature. Today's CNP Laboratory Propolis Energy Active Ampule soothes, hydrates and leaves skin with a soft, radiant sheen, and the same idea carries into makeup with the CNP Laboratory Propolis Ampule In Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ (2 x 15g), full coverage with a natural, radiant finish and SPF50+ built in.
CNP grew out of Cha & Park, a Korean skin clinic opened in 1996, and was built on the idea that expert care could be had at home. Its formulas come from the CNP R&D Center, each made for an everyday concern, from dryness and sensitivity to breakouts and pores. Propolis carries the glow, and ceramides the barrier care for dry, sensitive skin. For a calming night in, the CNP Laboratory Greenery Calming Ampule 2-Step Mask (5 pack) pairs a moisturizing ampoule with a sheet mask.
questions, answered.
How do I use the CNP propolis ampoule?
After toner, press a few drops of the CNP Laboratory Propolis Energy Active Ampule into your face and neck, pat until absorbed, then follow with your moisturizer, morning and evening. Propolis nourishes for a radiant glow, madecassoside and allantoin help calm the skin, and hyaluronic acid holds the moisture in. For dry skin, the CNP Laboratory Hydro Cera Intense Cream is a good cream to seal it with, built on five ceramides.
Which CNP propolis cushion should I choose?
For full coverage that still looks like skin, the CNP Laboratory Propolis Ampule In Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ (2 x 15g). For a thin, luminous layer, the CNP Laboratory Propolis Ampule In Radiant Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ (2 x 15g) has a rosy base that brightens the look of skin tone without darkening. If shine is your issue, the CNP Laboratory Propolis Ampule In Matte Cushion SPF35/PA++ (2 x 15g) gives a matte finish that hugs the skin without clumping. For a liquid base, the CNP Laboratory Propolis Ampule In Foundation SPF30/PA++ keeps a glowy finish all day.
Does CNP Laboratory make a gentle exfoliating cleanser?
Yes: the CNP Laboratory Invisible Peeling Cleansing Gel washes and exfoliates in one step. It lathers into a rich foam and PHA melts away dead skin cells without the friction of a scrub, leaving skin smooth, radiant and moisturized. For heavy sunscreen or waterproof base, remove it first with the CNP Laboratory Deep Cleansing Perfecta, a milk-gel first cleanser that leaves skin hydrated.
Is CNP Laboratory good for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, CNP's ceramide care is the better match. The CNP Laboratory Perfect Barrier Cera Cleanser is a weakly acidic wash that leaves sensitive skin feeling hydrated and comfortable, and the CNP Laboratory Hydro Cera Intense Cream pairs five ceramides with cholesterol and fatty acids to strengthen the skin barrier.
