How it works
The Glow Filter Tone Up Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Glutathione and Biosaccharide Gum-1, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream Frankly sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.

Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named sixth.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named twenty-eighth on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Glutathioneantioxidant
Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it. It is named thirty-third on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Biosaccharide Gum-1polysaccharide
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel. It is named thirty-first on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extractplant extract
Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish. The panel names it thirty-fifth on this cream's list, beside Niacinamide.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Glutathione and Biosaccharide Gum-1. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Psidium Guajava (Guava) Leaf Extract and Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Extract.

How to use
- Use it at the end of your routine, once your toner and serum have settled.
- Warm a small amount between your fingertips and press it over the face and neck rather than rubbing.
- Add a second thin layer on the areas that still feel tight instead of one heavy layer everywhere.
- Do not apply it before your serum, since nothing thinner will get through a cream that is already on the skin.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Niacinamide rather than to three changes at once.
