Tiam Pore Minimize 21 Serum 40ml

TIAM Pore Minimizing 21 Serum 40 ml, developed by TIAM (TIA’M), targets excess oil, enlarged-looking pores, and uneven texture in one lightweight, fast-absorbing serum. It combines 20% Niacinamide with 1% Zinc PCA — a 21% dual-active complex — to help balance sebum, refine the appearance of pores, and support a clearer, smoother-looking complexion.

Despite its name, “21” does not mean 21% niacinamide — it refers to the combined 20% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc PCA. This high-strength, water-based formula also contains Willow Bark Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, and Allantoin for hydration and soothing support, making it especially suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin in hot, humid climates.

Key Benefits

•           Balances excess sebum – 20% Niacinamide and 1% Zinc PCA reduce shine without stripping skin

•           Minimizes the look of enlarged pores – regular use refines appearance and reduces congestion

•           Improves blackhead-prone skin – Willow Bark Water and Niacinamide reduce oil-related congestion

•           Brightens dark-looking pores – Niacinamide helps fade discoloration from congestion or breakouts

•           Hydrates while controlling oil – Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, and Allantoin maintain barrier comfort

•           Lightweight for everyday use – fast-absorbing, non-greasy, layers well under sunscreen and makeup

Key Ingredients

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 20%, the primary active, regulates excess oil, refines the look of pores, smooths texture, and brightens dull-looking skin — beginners and sensitive skin should introduce it gradually with a patch test. Zinc PCA (1%) complements Niacinamide by further balancing oil without over-drying. Willow Bark Water (Salix Alba) supports gentle conditioning and helps improve congested-looking skin, though it isn’t equivalent to a set concentration of salicylic acid.

Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin offset dryness that can occur with high-strength Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol improves spreadability and absorption, and Allantoin soothes skin for added comfort during daily use.

Full INCI: Water, Niacinamide (20%), Butylene Glycol, Zinc PCA (1%), Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, and supporting ingredients — always verify current packaging.

Product Specifications

Skin Type Suitability

Ideal for oily, combination, normal, blemish-prone, and acne-prone skin, especially in hot, humid climates. Because it’s a high-strength 20% Niacinamide formula, those new to Niacinamide, with very sensitive skin, a damaged barrier, or active irritation/eczema should patch test and start with 2–3 applications per week, following with a moisturizer.

How To Use

After cleansing (and toner, if used), apply 2–3 drops, focusing on oily, congested, or uneven areas, avoiding eyes and broken skin. Let absorb 30–60 seconds, then follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). Use a thin layer to avoid pilling; increase to daily use as tolerated.

TIAM (TIA’M) is a Korean skincare brand recognized for high-strength, ingredient-focused pore-care and brightening formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. What does the “21” mean?

A. It refers to the combined 20% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc PCA — not 21% pure                         niacinamide, despite some retailer listings suggesting otherwise.

Q. Is it suitable for oily skin?

A. Yes — it’s especially formulated for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, helping         regulate sebum while maintaining hydration.

Q. Can this serum permanently shrink pores?

A. No — no skincare product permanently changes pore size, but this serum helps reduce      the appearance of enlarged pores by controlling oil and congestion.

Q. Can beginners use this serum?

A. Yes, with caution — patch test first and start with 2–3 applications per week before               increasing frequency as skin adjusts.

Q. Can I use it every day?

A. Yes, once your skin adapts — use morning and evening; reduce frequency if irritation           occurs.

Q. Can I use Vitamin C with this serum?

A. Yes — many use Vitamin C in the morning and this serum in the evening if their skin is         sensitive.

Q. Does it help with acne marks?

A. Niacinamide may gradually improve the look of post-acne marks and uneven tone,             especially combined with consistent use and daily sunscreen.

Q. Is it safe for sensitive skin?

A. Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate add comfort, but the 20% Niacinamide                             concentration may be strong for very sensitive skin — introduce gradually and                     discontinue if irritation occurs.
