Daysys Royal
DAYSYS Royal Bee is a Korean skincare line built around royal jelly and propolis - two bioactive substances produced by honeybees. The collection spans 9+ products: a royal jelly cream in 60ml and 100ml sizes, a propolis serum (including a planning set), an essential oil, a honey peeling gel, and multiple curated gift sets. Royal jelly is prized in Korean skincare for its amino acid density and skin-conditioning properties; propolis adds an antimicrobial and antioxidant dimension that complements the base. The set formats make this range practical for first-time buyers who want to trial the full routine before committing to individual bottles.

DAYSYS Royal Bee Skincare: Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Honey Actives
DAYSYS centers its Royal Bee line on two bee-derived ingredients that have long histories in Korean skincare: royal jelly and propolis. The collection brings these together across 9+ SKUs - from a classic cream to a propolis serum, an essential oil, and a honey-based peeling gel - giving shoppers a range wide enough to build a dedicated routine or pick targeted treatments.
What Royal Jelly Does for Skin
Royal jelly is a secretion produced by worker bees to feed the queen. It is rich in proteins, fatty acids, and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDA), a compound that does not occur naturally elsewhere and has been studied for its role in cell regulation and antimicrobial activity. In skincare, royal jelly is primarily used as a humectant and conditioning agent - it draws moisture to the skin surface and helps maintain softness without the heaviness of a traditional occlusive. DAYSYS uses it as a core ingredient in its cream formulas.
What Propolis Adds to the DAYSYS Formula
Propolis is a resinous compound bees use to seal their hive. It contains flavonoids and phenolic acids that give it antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In Korean skincare, propolis extracts are frequently used in serums aimed at calming irritation, reducing blemish-related inflammation, and supporting the skin's moisture barrier. The DAYSYS Propolis Serum sits in this tradition - a lightweight serum format that works as a booster step between toner and cream in a layered routine.
The DAYSYS Royal Bee Product Range
The lineup includes two sizes of the Royal Bee Royal Jelly Cream (60ml standard and 100ml larger format), the Propolis Serum in 60ml (available solo and in a planning set), a Royal Bee Essential Oil at 50ml, a Honey Peeling Gel at 150ml, and three set SKUs - a 3-piece set, a 2-piece set, and a 4-piece special set. The sets typically bundle the cream with the serum and sometimes the essential oil, making them a practical entry point.
Building a Routine with DAYSYS Royal Bee
A full Royal Bee routine follows standard Korean layered skincare ordering. After cleansing, the Honey Peeling Gel works as a physical exfoliant when used once or twice a week - apply on dry or slightly damp skin, massage gently, and rinse. On non-exfoliation days, the Propolis Serum goes on after toner while skin is still damp, followed by the Essential Oil if you use it as a face oil step, then sealed with the Royal Jelly Cream as the final moisturizing layer. This sequence allows each product to absorb before the next is applied.
How to Use the Royal Bee Essential Oil
The Royal Bee Essential Oil is a face oil, not an aromatherapy-grade essential oil - the name follows Korean naming conventions where "essential oil" refers to a nourishing botanical oil blend rather than a concentrated volatile extract. Use 2-3 drops warmed between palms, then press gently onto skin after serum and before cream. It is particularly useful in colder months when the cream alone may not provide enough occlusion for dry skin types.
Getting Results from the Honey Peeling Gel
The Royal Bee Honey Peeling Gel at 150ml is a leave-on type: apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and leave for 10-15 minutes, then massage to lift dead skin cells before rinsing. This format is gentler than physical scrubs and does not require the same level of rinsing precision. Avoid using it on the same day as active ingredients like retinol or AHAs, as layering multiple exfoliating steps can compromise the skin barrier in sensitive skin types.
Choosing Between Sets and Individual Products
DAYSYS offers three set formats: a 2-piece, a 3-piece, and a 4-piece special set. These are useful when starting with the brand because they reduce the per-product cost and remove the guesswork of which products complement each other. If you already own one product and want to extend the routine, buying individual items is more practical. The Planning Set for the Propolis Serum is a notable option - it typically includes the serum plus a travel-sized cream or bonus product at a bundled price.
Which Skin Types Benefit Most from Royal Bee Formulas
The Royal Bee line skews toward dry, mature, and combination skin that leans dry. Royal jelly's conditioning properties and the cream's texture profile are on the richer side compared to gel-type Korean moisturizers. Normal and slightly oily skin types can still use the serum and peeling gel comfortably; the heavier cream may feel slightly occlusive in humid conditions for those with oilier skin. The propolis serum is broadly suitable across skin types for its calming and antioxidant properties.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is DAYSYS and where are its products made?
DAYSYS is a Korean cosmetics brand available on skinsli.com. The Royal Bee line is its flagship range, built around bee-derived ingredients. Products are manufactured in Korea and imported for the US market through skinsli's supply chain.
What does royal jelly actually do when applied to skin?
Royal jelly contains proteins, amino acids, and 10-HDA (10-hydroxydecanoic acid), a fatty acid specific to royal jelly. In topical application it functions as a humectant and conditioning agent - drawing moisture to the surface and helping maintain skin softness. It does not provide the same level of occlusion as heavier emollients, so it is often paired with a richer cream or oil as a finishing step.
What is the difference between propolis and royal jelly in the DAYSYS range?
Royal jelly is a nutrient-dense secretion used as a moisturizing and conditioning ingredient, most concentrated in the Royal Bee Cream. Propolis is a resinous compound with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, used in the Propolis Serum. They work in complementary roles: royal jelly for hydration and skin feel, propolis for barrier support and reducing oxidative stress. Both can be used in the same routine without conflict.
What is included in the DAYSYS Royal Bee 4-piece special set?
The exact contents of the Royal Bee Special 4-piece Set can vary by production batch. Based on available assortment, it typically bundles the Royal Jelly Cream, the Propolis Serum, the Essential Oil, and a smaller format of one of these or the Honey Peeling Gel. Check the individual product listing for current set contents before purchasing.
Can I use DAYSYS Royal Bee products if I have oily skin?
The Propolis Serum and Honey Peeling Gel are well-suited to oily skin - the serum is lightweight and the peeling gel is a rinse-off format. The Royal Jelly Cream is on the richer side and may feel heavy for oily skin types in summer or humid climates. If you have oily skin, consider using the cream only at night and skipping or using a lighter moisturizer in the morning.
How often should I use the DAYSYS Royal Bee Honey Peeling Gel?
Once or twice a week is the standard recommendation for a physical peeling gel. Using it more frequently can thin the skin's outer layer and increase sensitivity. If you are also using chemical exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs) in your routine, limit peeling gel use to once a week or alternate them on different days.
Should I apply the DAYSYS Royal Bee Essential Oil before or after the Propolis Serum?
Apply the Propolis Serum first, then the Essential Oil. The general Korean skincare layering rule is thinnest to thickest texture, which means water-based serums before oils. The oil seals the lighter serum underneath and prevents it from evaporating, which also extends the serum's effective contact time with the skin.
Is the DAYSYS Royal Bee line cruelty-free?
The Royal Bee products contain bee-derived ingredients (royal jelly, propolis, honey), so they are not vegan by definition. Regarding cruelty-free certification, DAYSYS has not published a formal certification as of this writing. Korean brands sold internationally are increasingly cruelty-free in markets that do not require animal testing, but we recommend confirming directly with the brand or checking skinsli support for the current certification status.
What does "planning set" mean for the DAYSYS Propolis Serum?
In Korean cosmetics, a "planning set" (기획세트) is a retail bundle assembled specifically for a sale period or channel promotion. It typically includes the main product plus a bonus item - often a travel-size version of another product in the same line - at a price that undercuts buying the two items separately. The DAYSYS Propolis Serum Planning Set bundles the 60ml serum with a companion product; check the listing for the current included bonus.
Should I buy the 60ml or 100ml Royal Bee Royal Jelly Cream?
If you are buying for the first time, the 60ml is a lower-commitment entry point that will last roughly 6-8 weeks with daily use. The 100ml is more cost-effective per ml for a product you already know works for your skin. Both share the same formula; the difference is only size and price per ml.
How many DAYSYS Royal Bee products are currently available on skinsli?
The DAYSYS Royal Bee collection currently has 9+ products in stock on skinsli, including the Royal Jelly Cream in two sizes, the Propolis Serum (solo and planning set), the Essential Oil, the Honey Peeling Gel, and three set formats. Stock levels on individual items can change, so check each product page for current availability.
How does DAYSYS Royal Bee compare to other Korean bee-based skincare brands?
DAYSYS Royal Bee positions in the mid-range of Korean bee skincare - more accessible in price than dedicated propolis brands like Cosrx or Benton, and with a broader product format range than single-SKU bee products. The core differentiation is the combined royal jelly and propolis approach: most Korean bee brands specialize in one or the other rather than combining both in a coordinated routine. This makes DAYSYS a practical choice for those who want a single-brand bee ingredient routine without sourcing products across multiple labels.
