Review : Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Whitening Lotion

Product Description
NARUKO Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Whitening Lotion is made up of the selectively chosen organic Raw Job's Tears grains from Nantou, Taiwan, where the most advanced supercritical CO2 extraction technology is located. The raw ingredients of Raw Job's Tears help to moisturize and whiten skin and to increase its ability to absorb moisture. Best For: All skin types. Highly recommended for sensitive and oily skin, especially skin that is sun burnt, has freckles, dark spots or uneven skin tone.

Designed to nourish and brighten the skin while increasing its moisture content and containing antioxidants to protect against free radicals, this milky lotion is meant to be used on cotton pads and swipe it on the face. I am not used to this method of using a milky lotion as I tend to use toner with cotton pads, rather than a lotion. With its creamy texture, I need to spread it out on the cotton pads before using it, else the lotion may be a messy glob as I move the cotton pad all around my face.

Job's Tears in Naruko products are touted to provide 5 main effects for the skin :
- whitening
- moisturizing
- anti-aging
- repairing
- soothing

All Naruko products are parabens-free and there is no artifical fragrance and colouring as well as no animal testing involved. Hence, this whitening lotion must be used up within 6 months after opening, and within 2 years for unopened products.

2 months down the road, there is about 1/3 left in the bottle with once or twice-daily usage.
I am currently using the lotion as a toner, before serum and moisturiser.

It comes in a red slightly opaque bottle with a decent opening that dispenses the milky lotion easily onto the cotton pads. The lotion made the skin soft, smooth and supple to the touch, immediately after absorption. My skin felt nourished and pampered. It also helps to hydrate the skin.
After using it for 2 months, my face looked less dull, with a subtle radiance.

You can check out my reviews on its toner and whitening mask from the same range.

Note that despite its stance about being preservative-free ( different from parabens ), phenoxyethanol can still be found in its list of ingredients.
