On a happy side, I have been using Naruko for about 2 weeks and apparently it have help to clear my cheeks, less outbreak/pimples as compared to previously however, the outbreak on my forehead still the same :( Gonna continue to use the products and monitor it further. As I have decided to stop visiting Dr Jean Ho for chemical peeling (which I don't think is a long term solution), I am really hoping that this skincare will help to clear my skin. Furthermore, it is pocket-friendly comparing to dermatologist brand or other big skincare brand.

Toner - Naruko's Tea Tree Oil Out Acne Toner (day & night)
Tea Tree Oil Out Acne Toner is a comprehensive oil-controlling and skin-tightening formula which clears away blackheads, pimples and excess oil that clogs the pores. This toner contains witch hazel and Poria Cocos extract to soothe and tighten skin while eliminating dull skin and minor scarring.
Verdict:As claimed, the toner is refreshing and I love how the tea tree smell isn't that strong. As I knew that some tea tree product have very strong tea tree smell but this doesn't. I can also see the dirt left on the cotton wools which shows that cleaner alone is isn't sufficient to keep your skin clean. I never use toner before this as I felt it is not necessary but after using this toner, it totally change my mindset that toner actually is important, it not only help to clear all the dirts that clogged your pores but also to prep your face for the next step, moisturizer.

Moisturizer - Tea Tree Oil Out Balancing Moisturizer (day & night)
Tea Tree Oil Out Balancing Moisturizer is a lightweight, refreshing, oil-free formula made specially for normal to oily skin. The tea tree milky lotion helps the skin keep normal oil-water balance by eliminating excessive oil and keep the skin moisturized; as a result, pores are able to "breathe" normally. The Balancing Moisturizer can be used before makeup application to help control oil and maintain makeup longer.
Verdict: This moisturizer is really lightweight compared to other moisturizer which you sometimes will have those "sticky" feeling. Plus, I really really love how fast the moisturizer is absorbed into my skin. Prior to this, I also never thought that moisturizer is needed as I have the mindset that my skin is already oily so why do I even need to have to put moisturizer, isn't it going to make my face oiler? Gosh, that was totally a wrong mindset! Furthermore, my dermatologist also never mentioned to be that moisturizer is needed. She just told me to put moisturizer if I am doing chemical peeling which is drying. But ever since I started using moisturizer, I do feel that my skin is less oily and makeup is easier to put on.

Night Gelly - Tea Tree Oil Out Night Gelly
The Tea Tree Oil Out Night Gelly acts as an invisible oil absorbing sheet that sucks out unnecessary oil and leaves behind moisture. The night gelly locks in hydration and corrects the water-oil balance during the night. The night gelly allows the pores to breathe and prevent acne formation. Highly recommended for skin suffering from excess oil and/or acne!
Verdict: Another lightweight moisturizer, this night gelly is actually a night mask which helps to locked in hydration needed for your skin. It also contain Tranexamic Acid that helps to lighten acne scars (whitening) and Lentil seed extract which helps to tighten the pores. Till date, I have not see any lightening in my acne scar, probably the % of tranexamic acid is not that high hence it might need quite a while to see the result but I do see that my pores are smaller compared to before.

And the best of all is that Naruko's Tea Tree Oil Out series does not contains perservatives, parabens, artificial ingredients and coloring!
Thinking of getting a few more products from Naruko to try out. One of whihch I am thinking of getting is the Apple Seed & Tranexamic Acid Black Spots and Lines Defying Mask. It is specially made with 4 major brightening ingredients: Tranexamic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C Glucoside and Ellagic Acid which work together to brighten and provide antioxidants for your skin.
In fact, the Apple Seed series contains 3% of tranexamic acid which is the main ingredient for whitening and brightening of the skin which is why I am so tempted to try out this series after my pimple outbreak is stabilized or better still - cleared to help in lightening my acne scars. Shall see how it goes with my current skin regime first.
