Frankly Skincare Closer Serum

The formula uses PHA, a gentle chemical exfoliant, to clear out debris and dead skin cells from within the pores. By smoothing the skin's surface and improving overall elasticity with peptides, it creates a tighter, more refined texture that makes pores appear less visible.

Yes, the formula is designed to be effective yet gentle. PHA is generally less irritating than other exfoliating acids, but as with any new skincare product, we recommend patch-testing on your inner arm first to ensure your skin reacts well.

While it provides deep hydration, it is technically a treatment serum rather than a heavy moisturizer. If you have oily or combination skin, you might find it sufficient on its own, but those with dry skin will likely want to layer a moisturizer over it to lock in the hydration.

Skincare consistency is key. While you may notice an immediate plumping effect from the hydration, the anti-aging benefits from the peptides and vegan collagen typically become visible after four to six weeks of daily use.

You can generally layer this serum with other actives, but it is best to introduce them slowly. Because this serum contains PHA, avoid using it at the exact same time as high-strength retinoids or harsh acids to prevent potential irritation.

The glass skin effect refers to a complexion that looks exceptionally smooth, hydrated, and translucent. This serum supports that look by refining texture and plumping the skin, creating a reflective, healthy-looking surface that serves as a perfect base for makeup or a natural, bare-faced glow.
