Especially, I could see my blemishes and redness visibly fading. ♥ 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. ♥ 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☆ The 15% concentration might be irritating for those with super sensitive skin. I experienced slight tingling and redness for the first few days. ☆ While it's almost fragrance-free, the beads sometimes dissolve unevenly, leaving some undissolved particles. ☆ 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.

When I would scratch the acne bumps or grains on my face, they would come out, but after using this product, they have significantly decreased. The redness has also greatly diminished.
ConsThe downside is that if you just apply this or apply it once more on top of the lotion, it will turn white :( You need to roll this product sufficiently to absorb it first, and then immediately apply the lotion. The rest I'm satisfied with, so I'll give it 4 stars and I intend to repurchase.

ConsThe finishing touch feels sticky, and it's said that this ingredient helps reduce facial oil and grease, so I've used up almost an entire bottle (I've used it without fail every day since purchasing it), but it's still the same. There are granules, and they don't really burst or go away easily. When I check my face after applying it, white granules pop up here and there and stick around.

It was also said to help with whitening and wrinkles, and I did see a bit of whitening, but the wrinkles didn't improve much. The price is really good, and it completely got rid of my dehydration.
ConsIt has beads in it, but they don't spread well. The dropper is also too short, making it difficult to use up completely. The scent is not to my liking, and it gets used up quickly.

Even when I use spot patches, they still show through when I put on makeup. After receiving the Frankly serum, I would just put it on the affected areas with a cotton swab before bed and let it absorb! But seriously, the next day they had calmed down a bit, and by the second day they had completely disappeared! It doesn't end there - I have combination skin, so I have a bit of oiliness, but this product also helps control the oil, so my skin doesn't feel greasy even in the evenings. My makeup also lasts much longer now. I would recommend this to anyone who needs trouble spot care for blemishes or pimples!
ConsThere's really nothing I'm unhappy about. I think I use Frankly almost exclusively now.

I had severe inflammatory acne and a lot of milia until last year, but now I have some scarring, pigmentation left, and occasionally get one or two pimples. After my acne improved and I started managing my skin, I've been using niacinamide products. I've tried various niacinamide products like Mitoxi, Pola Choice, Derma Pact, and Xsol, but this is the most satisfactory one for me. (I used to use the Mito and Pola products, but I've thrown away the empties, so they're not in the photo.) I bought this product when there was a flash sale at another site, selling it for 3,000 won, and I've been using this product ever since. I don't usually write reviews like this, but I'm doing it in the hope that this product won't be discontinued. @Regarding the sticky feeling inherent to niacinamide, I think it's unavoidable, but it doesn't feel overly sticky to me. Personally, I've never found the stickiness to be uncomfortable. @The absorption is not bad, but you need to roll and burst the granules. They don't burst as easily as you might think. @Compared to other products, I feel the least amount of irritation with this one. I sometimes use it with Differin cream, and other products caused stinging around my nose and mouth, but I didn't experience that with this one. @This product has been the most helpful in improving my skin texture and making it smoother. @The pigmentation under my chin has faded significantly. @Since using this product, I haven't had any inflammatory acne breakouts. @Instead of an oily sheen, my skin has a healthy glow, which I think is because my skin barrier has improved a lot (which is why I'm not getting inflammatory acne either). @My pores also seem to have tightened, though I'm not sure if it's just my imagination since my skin has generally improved. I would have purchased this product even if it wasn't this affordable, as I'm that satisfied with it.
ConsThe product does contain granules, but they don't seem to come out very well. A lot of them get stuck in the opening.
TipDon't try to force the granules out if they're not coming out easily. Just roll the product a bit, and they'll burst on their own. If they still don't burst, just leave them and roll the product again when you apply it.

ConsThe container was slippery, making it a bit difficult to apply and close the lid afterwards.

Spreadability The formula has a slightly viscous texture with beads that dot the surface. Aside from the beads, it applies well and absorbs nicely. 2. Fragrance-free The lack of a strong fragrance was actually a plus for me. 3. Soothing Effect My skin is prone to frequent breakouts, but since using this product, I haven't had any new pimples grow larger. They seem to stay the same size without dramatically shrinking or disappearing. 4. Affordable Price The reasonable price point for the effectiveness is definitely a merit.
Cons1. Bead Absorption I thought the beads would just roll in and absorb easily without much effort, but I found that I needed to roll them around quite a bit more for them to melt in and get absorbed. This was a bit disappointing. 2. Dropper Packaging The opening and closing of the dropper leaves beads around the rim, which can get a bit messy. A pump dispenser might have been a better choice to avoid this issue. Seeing the beads harden around the opening is also a bit wasteful.
