How it works
The Nosca9 Trouble Toning Repair Cream is a 70ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tranexamic Acid, Adenosine and Allantoin, 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 Fation 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 ninth.
Tranexamic Acidactive
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. It is named thirteenth on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
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. The panel names it twenty-sixth on this cream's list, beside Niacinamide.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named twenty-seventh on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named thirty-third on this cream's list, alongside 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?
Tranexamic Acid, Adenosine and Allantoin. 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: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Bisabolol and Alpha-Arbutin.

How to use
- Take a small amount after your serum and press it over the face, working outward from the centre.
- Go lighter over the nose and forehead if those areas run oily, and heavier on the cheeks if they run dry.
- Let it settle for a minute before makeup so nothing rolls up over it.
- Avoid using more than you need on a warm day, because a cream that never fully settles is what makes makeup slide.
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.
- Retinyl is on this list, so keep this cream to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
