Naruko am+pm Total Brightening Renewal Treatment 5% Mandelic Acid

Pricing/Packaging:

30ml (1.05fl.oz) for ~25-37$ (naruko usa). This serum comes in a cute opaque white glass bottle (have to admit, I was really drawn to the packaging). Product dispenses through an easily controlled glass pipette. As most Naruko products, it should be used up within 6 months after opening.  

Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Pore Minimizing & Brightening Essence

 

Pricing/Packaging:

30ml (1.05fl.oz) for ~33$. US shoppers can find it here. This product comes in a good quality tinted glass pump bottle, which will help keep active ingredients intact. Also I do like this packaging from an aesthetic point of view as well.

Excellent (very beneficial ingredients, proven research)

Good (mostly beneficial ingredients, not extensive research available or just not quite outstanding properties)

OK (mostly thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is necessary formulation wise, but not a skincare per se) 
Bad (anything that shouldn't be in skincare, irritants and fragrance)

Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Pore Minimizing & Brightening Moisturizer

Raw Job's Tears line is officially my favourite line from Naruko. It is the only line that doesn't feature any essential oils, which is what I am looking for. The products in the line are also fragrance free and have pretty good ingredients. So if you want to try something from the brand, I recommend to start with Raw Job's Tears line.

Packaging/Pricing:

Product comes in a sleek red packaging with opening similar to a toner bottle, which allows minimal air exposure. You get 120ml (4.2fl.oz) for 27$ (here), but this web site always have some kind of discount going on (right now it is 22$).
