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!

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.

나이아신아마이드 15% 징크 비즈 세럼

There's hardly anything to complain about, except that I go through it too quickly... sigh

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!

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.

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.

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 briefly used this product in late 2024, but I couldn't find many positives. The only good thing seems to be its low price.

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.

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.

* 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.

☆ 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.

♥ 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.

♥ 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.

For an instant brightening effect, apply a generous layer of serum followed by a modeling mask. You'll be able to see an immediate difference in skin tone where the mask was applied.

Like most products containing niacinamide, it tends to leave a white powdery residue after drying. If any liquid gets on the nozzle or if you accidentally tip it over, the contents can leak out, making the dispenser messy. It would be great if they could redesign it with a silicone stopper or something similar to prevent leakage.

Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. People who dislike products that leave a sticky residue on the skin will find this comfortable to use. I usually have oily skin, but I definitely noticed less oil production while using this. However, if you have very oily skin, don't expect this to completely mattify your face - you might still need blotting papers. With reduced oil production, I've noticed fewer blemishes popping up. The anti-inflammatory effects of niacinamide seem to be contributing to this as well.

Room for Improvement:
The product contains beads that need to be thoroughly massaged until they dissolve.
I've never directly rubbed the beads on my face.
To avoid potential skin irritation, I dissolve the beads in my hands before applying to my face.

Author's Skin Profile:

*Occasional pustular acne and folliculitis
*No history of blemishes from product use

What I Liked:
This product seems to share a concept with the famous D*D*R product known for its niacinamide and zinc formulation.
Unlike the aforementioned product, where content buildup around the bottle's mouth creates crystals making it difficult to open and close, this one doesn't form crystals - which is great.
The scent is also more neutral compared to the other product.
Overall, it's excellent.

As a finishing touch, applying additional cream may help prevent the skin from feeling slightly dry after the serum absorption.

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.

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.

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!

It's probably better to use it only at night, as it can cause makeup to smear if used in the morning.

This product seems to work well, as it helps reduce the amount of oil that comes up, even though I have oily skin.

The volume is too small? The formula is similar to water, so it gets a bit streaky when applying makeup in the morning.

It's really mild... It was a product I personally really liked and I use it morning and evening, and there is no irritation.
