Naruko Niaouli & Tea Tree T-Zone Blackhead Remover

This product is highly praised by Fuz and it has probably become my HG item for treating pimples!

Naruko Niaouli & Tea Tree T-Zone Blackhead Remover is probably my new found love for K.O.-ing those annoying break outs on my combination skin!

The product:

Ingredient list:

This green little tube is really amazing!

Texture of this product is like a white thick toothpaste like cream:

It's easily spreadable:

But actually I dont really need to spread this product around. And I don't follow the instructions printed on the tube. I did what Fuz did in her videos, I usually dab a thick (well, you will see a patch of white visibly) on the affected area and leave it there overnight. Moments after applying this paste you will sense a tingling feeling, meaning the product is working towards the yucky pimples!

My significant other half doesn't really care about any kind of skin care products and he does have break outs from time to time. When I first introduced him this Naruko product, he's hooked. It works on his stubborn pimples and over time he reach for this tube to treat his break outs! Oh I will need a back up!

I have been trying to order this on my second Naruko haul, but this product has been OOS.... come on Naruko, I need back up of this stuff!

Naruko Job's Tears Whitening and Cooling Night Jelly and Narcissus Total Defense Night Eye Jelly set

This is a pretty darn good deal from Naruko Taiwan. For $648NT (roughly $22usd and change) you get a total of 4 piece in this set (this set is a buy 1 set, get 1 set free, with 2 items per set) - featuring Naruko's best sellers: Job's Tears Whitening and Cooling Night Jelly and Narcissus Total Defense Night Eye Jelly

Fuzkittie raved about these night jellies a lot and I can't wait to see they full potentials when the heat wave strike us in the middle of summer!

When opening up the packaging, notice some brightly colored graphics inside of the carton. Oh I remembered that Fuz mentioned that Naruko is big on recycling:

The cartons from the packaging of the night jellies:

Another recyclable Naruko packaging:

The instructions for making these recycled stationary items is quite easy. You will need a cutter and mat and volia, a desktop card holder:

Along with other products I transformed waste into some useful object:

Somehow I wish they used sturdier materials or apply a layer of glossy material so that these stationery can last longer. As cute as they look like now, I think they won't last longer than a few uses, especially  those boxes that require constant open and close.

So far the I have not seen the full potentials of the night jellies as the weather here is still in the nice 80's. And since I have had a strange allergies on my face recently, I have stopped piling this thick jelly on my face until my irritation is completely gone.

However, I must say that out of the handful of applications of these jellies, my face really feels hydrated overnight and I see this a cheaper version of Laneige's sleeping mask. Fine lines around my eye area has definitely improved with the use of the eye jelly, probably a cheaper option than using eye mask in my opinion!

Naruko Apple Seed & Tranexamic Acid Soothing White Series

One of the most anticipated Naruko line that I have been longing to use is this Apple Seed & Tranexamix Acid Soothing White Series. When I first hauled Naruko from my buyer's agent in Taiwan, This set of 3 had a special for $1100NT (roughly $38usd) for the 3 piece set. Compared to $75 for the 3 items sold on Naruko US's website, this is indeed a steal.... even though I had to pay a buyer's agent fee and shipping, this is still a very nice deal!

Step 1. Apple Seed & Tranexamic Acid Soothing White Hydra Essence

This is basically a toner. I pair this up with Naruko's cotton pads to tone and lightly exfoliate my skin after cleansing.

Step 2. Apple Seed & Tranexamic Acid Soothing White Hydra Milk

This is something new to me. According to Fuzkittie, in Asia, it is common to use a milky lotion (on cotton pad too) prior to applying serums. I am totally new to this.

Step 3. Apple Seed & Tranexamic Acid Soothing White Serum

This serum comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a pump. Only 2 pumps is needed for the entire face and neck area.

After the above 3 steps, follow up with eye care products and moisturizer for the face :)

The benefits of this Apple Seed like emphasize on whitening, firming, and hydration. I totally believe that this line delivers what it promised.

I actually love this line. My pores are much refined only after 1 week of use and my "strawberry nose" issue has greatly improved. I have redness and uneven skin tone due to an known allergic reaction all over my face and some post acne scar, but using this Apple Seed line has slowly even out my skin tone.

The only thing I wish is they come in a bigger size or the serum can be repackaged into a plastic bottle instead of a glass bottle. Haha, I am thinking more on the shipping weight here. But I do understand why Naruko's product are sized the way they are because they are preservative free, so they want to make sure the contents are all consumed before they expire... Naruko's products typically expire 6 months after you start using it for the first time.
