Review : Eversoft Skinz Youth Recall Hydrating Toning Lotion

Volume :100ml
Price : less than RM 20
Bought this from : guardian or watsons, can't remember

Been looking for a hydrating toner to use after cleansing for daytime because my skin was oily AF when it reaches 5-6pm

Tested this out at my local pharmacy store and decided to pick this up cuz the texture feels good and promising although the smell was too much for me.

It claims to contain super hyaluronic acid, provides instant 2x hydration and softening effect that last for 24 hours. Also claims to optimise the benefits of your moisturizer.

The bottle is classy with all that red and metallic cap finish, and dispenses the product through the hole on top.

The lotion is slightly goopy, translucent gel like lotion and smoothes out pretty well. only gripe is that it leaves a sticky finish, which i feel is kinda too much for daytime use.

Effect wise, it does moisturise, however also left me with much oilier skin than i anticipated.

It smells too strong, like 2x concentrated artificial floral smell. Also, i noticed that it clogs my pores after a few uses.

Currently i'm using it as a body lotion. And it defo works better that way.

Review: NARUKO Raw Job's Tear Supercritical CO2 Pore minimizing & Brightening Lotion 【紅薏仁】超臨界毛孔美白露

Volume : 50ml (Full size 150ml)

Price: RM 15 for 2 bottles (Full Size RM42)

Availability: NARUKO.com.my

Description: Minimizing pores and emphasizing brightness to restore clear, crystal, white and young skin from the deep foundation.

I got this during their Xmas sale end last year. This set comes with 2 travel size lotion from the Raw Job's Tears series which is quite popular in Malaysia.

The last time I bought/used NARUKO products was in 2011. I used their Rose + Snow Fungus line which I loved a lot.

Anyway NARUKO has since come a long way and they have revamped their formulation and packaging for almost everything under their belt (not to mention the addition of new products too!)

I am totally in love with the chic design. The blood red colour makes the bottle look so sophisticated. I would love to try other stuff from this series but I have too many stuff to finish (I predict a good 1.5 years before I need to buy new skincare stuff). Although I've been secretly eyeing NARUKO's new Taiwan Magnolia Firming Smooth Finish Cream Makeup SPF 50, heheheh

The lotion is quite runny and watery but you will not accidentally take too much out of the bottle. The viscosity is not too watery but not thick. It has a faint barley drink smell, yums. Made me wanna drink it! Lol

I've been using this for 3 weeks and do note that I have dry skin and some allergies on my cheek recently. This series is designed for Combination Skin which combats large pores and oiliness.

I apply the lotion using my palms and zzt! My skin drinks this up in mere seconds! It sure absorbs fast.

I do notice this lotion makes my skin very very smooth to touch, and it helped reduce my uneven skin tone too. My skin glows from within! I do not really notice any stark difference in the size of my pores, though.

before using

after using

Smell: 4.5/5 Very faint and not irritating.

Texture: 5/5 Light-medium

Absorption: 4/5 Fast, and doesn't feel too sticky.

Effect: 4/5 My skin became really really smooth after using this. The effect won't show overnight, so you'll need time to observe results. It brightens and makes my skin tone look even. Doesn't cause oiliness or acne. No major improvements in pore reduction, but I will update if my pores magically reduce to nothing, hahaha!

(from the box):

tn has very cute product design catered to teens and this one is no exception. I bought the AC line toner and lotion set for my brother which I wrote here. I am back at home for a few days so I managed to photograph the cute cute products!

I tried using both of them to present you all a brief first impression on them. You should take this review as something of an introductory writing.

Packaging: No doubt the loveliest, cutest product packaging for teenagers I have ever come across. Back in my time (which is 2003-2004), acne clearing products have such a boring appearance that did not leave any lasting impression on me. Kids nowadays are so blessed with choices. Anyway, the lotion is housed in a sturdy plastic pump bottle that is easy to use.

Smell: Heavenly and so so so relaxing. Not a whiff of antiseptic/tea tree/die germs die smell.

First Impression: The lotion is in whitish gel cream form which glides on smoothly on my face and absorbs readily into my skin, leaving it fresh and moisturised. It is not harsh on the skin at all, which is a big plus point since I am absolutely against those harsh acne clearing products.

The good: Smells good, nice packaging, okay price
