My Journeys

Halo! Saat ini aku mau review salah satu serum yang udah aku pakai hampir 2 bulan. Ini adalah serum dari brand Naruko, which is this is my first product from Naruko. Naruko adalah brand dari Taiwan yang semua produk nya itu paraben-free loh, mereka menghasilkan produk yang ringan dan jg berorientasi dari alam. Produksi dan penelitian produknya jg "cruelty-free", sama sekali tidak menggunakan hewan dalam bahan eksperimen nya dan 100% ramah lingkungan.

Sebelumnya aku mau kasih tau kalau tipe kulit aku oily dan acne prone skin.

Yuk mari kita review Naruko Tea Tree Serum~

The Naruko Tea Tree Shine Control & Blemish Clear Serum is a serum targeted specially for people with oily and acne prone skin. As the brand states in their USA official website, this serum is supposed to do 4 main things in you skin: restrains oil and inhibits bacteria, clears acne smoothly, retains water and repairs, and dispel spots and brighten

Aku beli serum ini di online shop tokotujuhpuluh dan harga nya sekitar Rp. 200.000 rupiah. Pas aku check di google Naruko ini udah ada di Indonesia, ada di watson tapi untuk serum ini aku belum nemu, hanya ada lotion seri tea tree nya di watson Indonesia, kalian bisa beli di watson via online juga loh :)

Packaging dari Naruko Tea Tree Serum ini dari kotak box kertas yang aku suka banget karena bisa di jadiin tempat pensil! wagelaseh baru nemu packaging yang serba guna gini dan kece abis. Serumnya sendiri terdiri dari kaca hijau bening yang berbentuk silinder dengan tutup putih diatasnya, Naruko Tea Tree Serum ini bentuknya pump jadi higienis.

Aku pakai serum ini di AM&PM skincare routine aku, setelah pemakaian toner dan sebelum moisturizer. Serum nya dioleskan secara merata ke wajah dan ke daerah yang berjerawat.

Konsistensi dari Naruko berbentuk cairan putih dengan bau nya yg sangat tea tree, saat dipakai terasa sangat ringan dan juga cepat meresap. Teksturnya juga tidak lengket sama sekali, selama pemakaian 2 bulan ini muka aku tidak mengalami breakout, yang buat aku suka banget sama serum ini mengandung bahan pelembab tinggi asam hialuronat arbutin, mikroba yang terbuat dari ekstrak pohon teh yang membantu membersihkan sel kulit mati dan menembus ke dalam pori-pori. Satu hal lagi yang aku suka kandungan tea tree and salicylic acid yang sangat baik untuk kulit berjerawat. Kalian tahu kan kandungan tea tree itu mempunyai natural antiseptic antibacterial yang dapat mengurangi dan menyembuhkan jerawat, iritasi dan juga peradangan. Jujur ketika pemakaian serum ini muka aku lagi banyak jerawat/zits kecil-kecil disekitar pipi dan dagu. Setelah pemakaian hampir kurang lebih 3 minggu jerawat kecil-kecil nya berkurang dan kemerahan nya jg mulai membaik, which is thats mean this product is really good for heal and calmer acne around my face.

FYI I have oily scalp and dry hair at the same time. After I browse to a lot of sources in internet, 

I find out that the hair scalp need to scrubbing because the scalp has more hair follicles and grease glands, so it can quickly lead to build up of dead skin and sebum that can make you hair become flaky, greasy and also itchy. " Just like exfoliating the skin on your face, a good scrub will physically remove dead skin cells or dandruff from the scalp surface, which then allows the proper penetration of ingredients in other hair and scalp products used says London hair and scalp specialist, Dr.Sharon Wong. I tried to find the hair scrub in the drugstore near my house then I found out that The Body Shop has Green Tea Hair Scrub, without any doubt I immediately buy this hair scrub.
