Minimises Oil & Sebum, Anti-Inflammatory and Evens Skin Tone.

10% Niacinamide does the technical work of regulating sebum, refining pores, fading post-acne marks, strengthening the barrier. We also added 0.5% Ginseng Root Extract sourced from Korea — a centuries-old skin-radiance ingredient at the heart of Korean skincare, prized for both its antioxidant glow and its calming, anti-inflammatory properties — because clear skin without glow isn't the goal; bright, even-toned & calm skin is.

Why it Works?

1. 10% Niacinamide for Oil Control
Helps regulate excess sebum, making skin look less greasy through the day.

2. Refines Visible Pores
By balancing oil and supporting the skin barrier, Niacinamide helps reduce the look of enlarged pores.

3. Fades Post-Acne Marks
Helps improve uneven tone and visible acne marks for clearer-looking skin.

4. 0.5% Korean Ginseng for Glow
Sourced from Korea. Used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory ginsenosides, which soothe irritation, calm redness, and keep skin balanced.

5. Calms Inflammation
Ginseng helps soothe stressed skin, making the formula especially relevant for acne-prone and irritated skin.

6. Supports the Skin Barrier
Niacinamide and Ginseng together help strengthen the skin barrier so skin looks calmer, healthier and more balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Korean Ginseng calms inflammation as the niacinamide works, and Papaya enzyme keeps pores clear from the inside instead of forcing congestion to the surface. If your skin is sensitive or new to actives, start with once a day for the first week before moving to twice daily.

Yes, with timing. Use Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide in the evening, or apply ten minutes apart; with retinol, use retinol at night and niacinamide in the morning. Avoid layering directly with strong AHAs or BHAs in the same step — alternate days work better.

Most users notice less shine and smaller-looking pores within two to three weeks of consistent use. Post-acne marks and uneven tone take longer — six to eight weeks of daily use is realistic, and consistency matters more than frequency.

Yes. Our Korean Ginseng extract is sourced and manufactured in Korea, with a Certificate of Analysis to confirm it — available on request with any order.

Niacinamide and Korean Ginseng are both generally considered safe, and this formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or essential oils. That said, every pregnancy is different — please check with your doctor before adding any new product to your routine.

The serum itself is good and feels nice on the skin. Overall, I had a good experience with the product. However, I noticed some shrinkage in the packaging, which was a little disappointing. Apart from that, the serum quality is good and easy to use.

I’ve been using this serum as part of my skincare routine and really like its lightweight texture. It absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling greasy or sticky, which is especially nice for oily skin. The serum feels soothing and gives the skin a fresh, healthy-looking glow. I also like that it contains 10% niacinamide along with Korean ginseng. The packaging is simple and the dropper makes it easy to apply. Overall, a good addition to a skincare routine, especially if you prefer lightweight serums.

I’ve been enjoying this niacinamide serum. It has a lightweight texture, absorbs easily, and doesn’t feel sticky on the skin. After regular use, my skin feels smoother and more balanced. It’s also easy to include in a daily skincare routine. Overall, a good serum for everyday use. ✨

I’ve been using this serum and overall, I’m quite happy with it. The formula is particularly appealing for oily and acne-prone skin because niacinamide is a versatile ingredient that can help with excess oil, uneven-looking skin tone and the appearance of pores over time.

The texture is one of the things I liked most. It’s lightweight and spreads easily across the skin without feeling too heavy or oily. A few drops are enough for the face, so you don’t need to use a large amount each time. It also layers fairly easily with a basic skincare routine.

The addition of Korean ginseng is a nice touch. It gives the formula a more interesting combination rather than being just another niacinamide serum. With consistent use, my skin feels more balanced and looks a little more fresh and healthy.

I would say the results are more of a gradual improvement rather than an instant transformation. It’s important not to expect it to completely clear acne, erase marks or make pores disappear. Those claims can take time and depend on your overall skincare routine.

One thing to keep in mind is that 10% niacinamide is a relatively high concentration. If you have sensitive or easily irritated skin, I’d recommend starting with a small amount and using it every other day before increasing the frequency. Using too many active ingredients together can also make the skin feel irritated.

The packaging is simple and practical, and the dropper makes it easy to control the amount. Overall, I think this is a good option for someone looking for a niacinamide-based serum for oily or acne-prone skin and who already knows that their skin tolerates niacinamide well.

The Truegrade Niacinamide 10% + Korean Ginseng 0.5% Serum is a solid skincare pick for controlling excess oil and smoothing out uneven tone.
Texture & Absorption: Lightweight, non-sticky formula that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue.
Effectiveness: Works well to regulate sebum and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores over regular use.
Scope for Improvement: The 10% concentration is potent, so beginners might need a few days to build tolerance, and fading deep dark spots requires patience.
A great, value-for-money serum for daily pore and oil management!

I've been using this serum for a few days now, and I'm really impressed! It helped reduce my acne marks noticeably and controlled the oiliness on my face without drying my skin out. The Korean ginseng gives a nice soothing effect, and my skin feels brighter and more balanced. Plus, my pores look smaller, which is a big win. Definitely a great addition to my skincare routine for oily, acne-prone skin
