VOV Daily Fresh Mini Pack: 17 Cereals, Apple AHA Peeling Gel, Volcanic Powder

VOV is a Korean brand, they offer skincare and makeup products at an affordable price. Their masks are very popular, and I’m reviewing their wash off masks, Daily Fresh Mini Pack, in this entry.


These masks come in a box of ten. A box costs ₩ 6,790 thereabouts, you can definitely get it for cheaper if you search around in Gmarket.

You can get up to three uses out of one sachet, which contains 10 ml of product. Since this is a wash off mask, leave it on a clean and dry face for 20 minutes and then rinse off.

17 Cereals

Description: Provides nutrients to brighten, moisturize and soften skin.

I wasn’t particularly wowed by this flavour - I had high expectations after reading so many good things about it! My face felt soft and smooth to the touch after rinsing this mask off although I didn’t notice any brightening effect. On the whole, you can safely skip this flavour, it pales in comparison to Volcanic Powder (> ω <)

Apple AHA Peeling Gel

Description: It helps to get rid of blackheads, plus it purifies and nourishes the skin. Your skin will be instantly smooth and radiant.

This mask is a white coloured cream but once it dries on my face, it turns into this~


It has a nice perfume-y fragrance. I noticed that the amount whiteheads on my nose have decreased and they are less visible too, not as annoyingly obvious as before. I’m very pleased with this development, anything that decreases comedones are a must-have!

The full ingredient list for Apple AHA Peeling Gel:


Volcanic Powder

Description: Contains various minerals to protect and cleanse the skin and to absorb contamination in the pores.

The first time I used it, a couple of bumps popped out but after that it was smooth sailing. The brightening effect lasts for a couple of hours as opposed to a typical sheet mask that only brightens my face for a couple of seconds (> ω <) It also leaves my skin feeling smooth (^ ω ^)

i haven't tried the vov apple peel but tried the green tea collagen wash off mask and it was pretty good!

great job on the color tag, i thought lavender would be super hard!

Pop Champagne said...

i got issues with blackheads! lol kind of the opposite of you! haha I've been researching on sasa and seeing what I want to splurge on myself this month, can you get those masks on sasa?

Fifi said...

Oh I think I saw the VOV mask on a spree before. Had I known it was good for whiteheads, I'd buy it! Thanks for the review!

Jian said...

I'm also more concerned about whiteheads than blackheads! It's surprising that you don't see more products that are specifically aimed at whiteheads..?

I really want to try some of these masks! ><

I haven't tried that mask but it sounds nice! I've been trying to get rid of some white heads, but I fail, lol. I think with your skintone you can use the radiant highlighter, but the tinted glow from the body shop is nice. You have to be careful though, the consistency is a bit thin so it can come off watery if that makes since, lol. But you defintely have to try eyeko when you get the chance! (:

Dee said...

You know, I just remembered I was tagged to do a color post too, lol.

Banila Co. Secret Highlighter works the same as Benefit's High Beam and Moon Beam. Are you purchasing that through Gmarket? I wanted to try it too because Banila Co. hasn't failed me yet, lol.

I haven't heard The Skin Food Lime Secret Shine Base. Are there any testers in the SF shop in Spore? It sounds interesting.
