  Pros

  You can feel that your skin becomes more toned and the cost-effectiveness is great.

  Cons

  Since there is no way to control the amount, the serum easily flows out from the opening and gets dirty.

  Pros

  Texture: Runny, slightly thin consistency Absorption: Doesn't seem to absorb very well Finish: Leaves a slightly sticky finish Effects: Significantly reduces skin texture and noticeably shrinks pores Best feature: Its firming effect makes makeup adhere perfectly. Since using this serum, my makeup has never looked patchy

  Cons

  The sticky finish is disappointing, and the container lacks a mechanism to hold the applicator stick, causing the product to drip down the outside. The packaging could really use some improvement

  Pros

  I've only been using it for about a week, so I haven't noticed a significant effect on my pores yet, but I can feel that my skin has become firmer and improved! My facial skin feels more elastic! I noticed some reviews saying it's sticky, but even though I don't usually use sticky products as a base for makeup, this one actually helps my makeup adhere better when I apply a small amount and let it absorb completely before applying makeup. At night, I apply a generous amount before bed, and in the morning, my face feels nice and firm! I bought the 30mL size, but it seems they've released a larger size too. Since everyone's skin type is different, it might be a good idea to try the 30mL first and then purchase the larger size if it works well for you.

  Cons

  There's nothing particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick something, a little bit of serum drips down the side when using the dropper.

  Pros

  The Frankly Closure Serum definitely helps refine skin texture. After applying, my skin felt noticeably smoother, and makeup seemed to adhere better. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, and it finishes with a fresh feel without any oiliness, making it ideal for combination to oily skin types. The ingredients are great too - key components like niacinamide and betaine help improve complexion and provide hydration while being gentle, making it suitable as a daily serum.

  Cons

  As expected, it lacks in hydration. At my age, deep dryness is a concern, and I noticed some tightness when using this product alone. Especially in winter, you'll definitely need to layer it with a cream or a more hydrating product. While the design is attractive, the cap is inconvenient. I worry about leakage if it's not closed properly, making it a bit risky for travel. To be honest, there weren't any dramatic immediate changes. While it does refine skin texture, the effects on brightening the complexion or fading blemishes were minimal.

  Tip

  Apply the serum and then reapply on dry areas. It really helps smooth out the skin texture. As a makeup primer alternative: Since it absorbs well, applying it before makeup helps even out skin texture, allowing foundation to adhere better. Use with a moisturizer: If you find it lacks hydration, make sure to follow up with a hydrating cream after the serum.

  Pros

  This is a true holy grail product I've repurchased multiple times! While it has a slightly sticky finish, it visibly reduces pores. Plus, it's so affordable that I use it generously!

  Cons

  The lack of a stopper at the bottle's opening makes it a bit unhygienic, as the serum can drip down when you put the dropper back in.

  Pros

  Great value for money. The oil and moisture balance was just right. The texture was thicker than I expected. However, the hydration didn't seem to last very long. It's suitable for those with mild oily or combination skin. For dry skin, I'm not so sure... A big plus is that it's blemish-free and fragrance-free (which is a huge advantage).

  Cons

  I had high hopes since it's called a 'closer serum', but for pores... I'm not convinced. I was disappointed not to see any noticeable effects. The packaging is really inconvenient. The dropper is too thick compared to the bottle opening, or the opening is too narrow for the dropper. If you're not extremely careful when putting the dropper back in, the serum can smear around the neck of the bottle and leak. I thought they had managed to create an affordable product with good features, but I ended up quite disappointed with this one.

  Pros

  It's better than I expected! I'm on my second bottle because I like it so much. As you use it, you'll notice your skin texture gradually improving and becoming smoother. It even seems to reduce those pesky little bumps. Just give it a try! By the way, it's cheaper at Olive Young - I love it!

  Cons

  There's not really anything bad to say, but if I had to mention something, the serum tends to leak from the bottle a bit.

  Tip

  For best results, apply a thin layer all over, then layer it on areas with uneven texture or small bumps. It works even better this way!

  Pros

  It has a nice level of hydration and definitely shows some results. With consistent use, it seems like those little skin bumps will gradually disappear.

  Cons

  The dropper is smaller than the bottle opening, so sometimes serum gets on the outside of the dropper and can drip down.

  Tip

  It works well when applied after removing excess oil from your skin.

  Pros

  The amount you get for the price is really generous, and the texture is so rich! Sometimes it's discounted to around $8 or $9, which is an absolute steal for such a large quantity!

  Cons

  Unlike other ampoules, the cap seems a bit weak, causing it to leak. The rich consistency might actually be a drawback in this case...

  Pros

  Typically, pore-focused serums can feel sticky right after application and throughout the day. However, this product absorbs quickly, leaving no discomfort for daily activities. My boyfriend uses this alone, skipping other skincare steps, and his face stays oil-free and hydrated until he gets home. While I bought it to minimize pores, within a week, I noticed my skin texture dramatically smoothed out. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking skin elasticity and that coveted Inner Glow!

  Cons

  The lack of a stopper at the bottle opening sometimes causes the product to leak. Although it's advertised to significantly reduce pores, I feel the effect on pores might be slightly less impressive than expected.
