review on VOV Acerola Mask Pack.
I like the packaging of the picture of the acerola!
So, what is a acerola?

Acerola is a plant native to Southern and Central America. It produces small edible fruits which strongly resemble cherries, leading to the common alternate names of Barbados Cherry, Puerto Rican Cherry, and West Indies Cherry.

It's uses for skin:
There are many different vitamins and nutrients that are taken on a daily basis to preserve the body and it keep it in good working order. Acerola is a lesser-known substance that is high in vitamin C. But don't let the lack of popularity fool you. This tiny red fruit has many uses and an equal amount of benefits to the body.

Skin

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps promote a substance in the skin called "collagen." Collagen gives the skin its elasticity and keeps it from breaking apart. Acerola is used as an ingredient in skin care products to stop or reverse the aging process.

I held the mask pack near my nose to have a better smell. The acerola smells a bit like anti biotics! On the first sniff and I asked my cousin to smell and she agreed too. Good thing it was just a faint smell, if not I might have second thoughts about using it. :P

Till now, I've tried it 2 times and must say that VOV masks works just fine for me ;)

I think the first time I used it, I spammed quite abit on my face. So, I have a pretty thick layer covering the face. Felt a slight sting on the face (Not in a bad way) and went in the air con room.
Almost immediately, face felt cooling and refreshing. Stayed the same for about 20 minutes and went off to wash it. Skin felt smooth! & a little more radiant. 
Was really tired to even put any skincare product and slept straightaway.
Surprisingly, skin stayed the same even after the next day! Smooth~ 
The plus point is that, it's affordable! and have a few variations!
Will bring in some of them soon so do look out for them! ;)
