Formulated with 15% niacinamide and beaded zinc PCA, it addresses pore problems. The beads adhere tightly to the skin like a spot patch, and each time you use it, your skin feels calmer. It's great for the T-zone, which tends to get oily, yet doesn't dry out, making it perfect for seasons when your skin is prone to imbalance! It's also fragrance-free and ethanol-free.
It has absolutely no scent. It has a clear, thick base with white particles inside. The clear base is easy to spread on the skin, but the white particles had a hard time blending into the skin. It left my skin feeling slightly moisturized, yet smooth and matte. It seems like it would be good for people with oily skin, and I think those with combination skin could apply it only to areas where sebum is a concern. There's no particular scent, and given the price, I got the impression that it's a serum that's easy to continue using.
It contains white particles that dissolve as you rub it in. It's a thick, stringy serum, but surprisingly it goes on smooth and quickly without any stickiness! My forehead tends to get oily around lunchtime, so this serum is perfect for morning use as it helps with sebum control!
FRANKLY Niacin Zinc Bead Serum is an unusual serum in that it has zinc PCA* floating inside the serum. (*PCA zinc (skin conditioning ingredient) It comes in a dropper type, so I'm happy that I can adjust the amount I use myself. When I take it out with the dropper, I can see small white beads inside the serum. It has a soft, jelly-like texture, and the beads were easy to absorb. It is moist and felt hydrating. As it is still in the dry season, I plan to use it regularly.
I don't really like the grainy texture, but I use it because I believe in its effectiveness.
