I've been using this product for about two months. It applies smoothly, but it's a bit sticky, so it might not absorb well for those with oily skin. I have combination skin, so I only applied it to areas with blemishes. I think it's quite effective.
Cons
The beads in the serum don't dissolve easily, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, be careful as it can leave a white residue if you don't apply anything else after the serum!

Used for 2-3 weeks Recommended for all acne-prone skin, even though it's designed for oily, acne-prone skin Since I started using this, my skin has calmed down remarkably well!
Cons
There's hardly anything to complain about, except that I go through it too quickly... sigh

As someone with super sensitive skin, I'm relieved this doesn't cause any reactions! It seems to be a gentle product. While the texture is thicker than expected, it doesn't leave a sticky feeling for long.
Cons
The white particles don't always dissolve well, and even when they do, they can leave a white cast on the skin as it dries. You need to check your reflection carefully.

I briefly used this product in late 2024, but I couldn't find many positives. The only good thing seems to be its low price.
Cons
It doesn't have any noticeable effects and feels a bit sticky. I envy those who saw results, but for me, it didn't do much.

I was looking for products with niacinamide since it's known to be great for brightening, and I found that Frankly had a high concentration, so I decided to purchase it! I also heard that zinc is good for the skin too. Rather than having an incredible brightening effect, I felt it helped even out my complexion. It's also great for controlling oil, so I think it would be beneficial for those with oily skin to use consistently.
Cons
It might be difficult to achieve hydration or moisture with this product alone, so I think it would be best to use it in combination with other products.

โฅ With its high concentration of 15% niacinamide, I definitely noticed an improvement in my complexion. Especially, I could see my blemishes and redness visibly fading. โฅ The zinc content is excellent for oil control. It feels like it calms the skin before blemishes can even appear, so it might be great for acne-prone skin too. โฅ The bead-like serum texture is fun to apply as it bursts and absorbs into the skin. It's lightweight, making it comfortable to use even in summer.
Cons
โ The 15% concentration might be irritating for those with super sensitive skin. I experienced slight tingling and redness for the first few days. โ While it's almost fragrance-free, the beads sometimes dissolve unevenly, leaving some undissolved particles. โ Dry skin types might find it lacks hydration when used alone. You'll definitely need to follow up with a moisturizer or cream to maintain skin hydration.
Tip
* I recommend using it every other day or only in the evening rather than daily, especially at first, to allow your skin to adapt. * It works well mixed with a soothing ampoule. I found mixing it with a drop of panthenol ampoule helped it absorb gently without irritation. * For combination dehydrated skin, I especially recommend applying it only to the T-zone. This reduces oiliness while minimizing irritation.

Absorbs smoothly without stickiness. It seems comfortable for people who dislike products that linger heavily on the skin. Even though I tend to have a lot of sebum secretion normally, I definitely feel that sebum secretion is less than usual when using this product. However, for those with very oily skin, using this may not result in a completely oil-free, powdery complexion. Since sebum secretion is reduced, fewer blemishes appear compared to usual, and the anti-inflammatory effects of niacinamide also seem to contribute to this.
Cons
Products containing niacinamide often leave a white powder-like residue after drying. If the liquid that was on the dropper gets on the product's dispenser or if it is accidentally spilled, the contents inside will leak out, making the dispenser messy. It would be great if the product was renewed with something like a silicone cap to prevent the contents from leaking out as much.
Tip
After generously applying the serum and doing a modeling pack, you can visually confirm the immediate whitening effect on the area where the pack was applied.

The author's information (facial skin) *Mid-20s male *T-zone has more sebum secretion than U-zone, so it's a combination skin In summer, it's close to oily, and in winter, it's close to dry *Many blackheads and ice pick scars (pitted scars) on the nose and butterfly zone pores *A few rolling acne scars *The skin seems to be prone to clogged pores (milia) *Occasional cystic acne, folliculitis *No experience of product-related breakouts ๐Liked It seems to be a product with a similar concept to the well-known Hwahae product with niacinamide and zinc. The above product has crystals forming at the product opening, making the lid difficult to open and close, but this product doesn't have that issue, which is good. The fragrance is also more mild compared to the above product. Excellent.
Cons
Disappointing aspects You need to rub it well until the beads melt, as there are beads inside. I've never actually rubbed the beads directly on my face. I melt the beads in my hands and apply them to my face, as I'm worried they might irritate my skin.

Lift about half of the dropper and spread it out, and the zinc beads will burst well and spread smoothly. It has a bit of viscosity, but when applied, it feels like the moisture spreads out instantly.
Cons
As a finishing touch, applying additional cream may help prevent the skin from feeling slightly dry after the serum absorption.

The formula is not watery, but has a slightly viscous texture. It absorbs very quickly and does not feel sticky. The beads burst more easily than expected, so applying it is not very bothersome. It feels easy and comfortable to apply. When used with retinol, it does not cause much skin irritation. The moisturizing effect is better than expected!
Cons
The soothing effect of the trouble spot is not very noticeable. If you apply too much, there is a slightly heavy feeling, so you should apply it moderately. About half a dropper seems to be good.
