Just started to shoot in raw and everything would be fine, just one thing - raw images are more noisy (grainy) than jpg. One clever girl said that she sees something like that for the first time and I should ask here...
can somebody help me to explain what I have done wrong? Or what do I have to do to get noiseless raw?

so here are pictures.

  What are the camera settings when shooting these pics?

  If the jpeg from the camera were lighten to match the other picture, I think you'd see the same looking grain.
Your camera parameters or what you use to extract the jpeg is hiding it, whatever it's set at. You can tell you have something set to work on the jpegs from the color being different.

  It's under exposed by the way. That's were your grain is coming from.
It does look like some edge definition is in more of the raw(actually tiff) than the jpeg from the camera. Looking at the eye lashes and the nostrils. There may be some in camera noise reduction, or noise reduction with the program your using.

  Thank you, Todd and Gregory! Settings were ISO 400, F 5, 1/60 sec.

Ok - but how to get that grain of? As I understand it is not possible by settings in camera? What should I do in Photoshop to get the raw file look the same as jpg? Thank you in advance
