Review: Holika Holika 3 seconds Starter Vita Complex

Hello there :)

I know I promised that I'll be posting reviews from my haul, but University is sucking out all of my energy, that I even started having nightmares (read about it here).

But I'll try my best to make reviews.. So today's review will be a serum, Because serums act as specialists. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns, and they address needs that aren't covered by a moisturizer.

Product claims: 
 actively fights bacteria related to acne breakouts. The vita complex helps to calm and relieve irritated areas for a clearer complexion; while vitamin C ingredient brightens dark spots to create a more even skin tone. The Holika Holika Three Second starter Vita Complex creates a bacteria free platform for face before the application for makeup. Now you too, can say goodbye to troubled skin!

as always, ingredients is in Hangul/Korean

Ingredients: I couldn't find the full list of ingredients, But it contains Niacin, Machihyun extract, Vita Treatment Complex, Vitamin C

Size: 150ml


Packaging: clear plastic bottle that have a translucent sticker that have orange details, and a white plastic pump.

Price: $10.66 (from here)

How to use : After washing, dry your face, then apply right amount while tapping gently. ( I use one pump, sometimes 2)
※ Application within 3 seconds after washing the face is more effective.

Smell: it reminds me of my last year in school, Because it smells like the orange juice I used to drink daily (it was the only juice available in the school cafeteria)

Texture: it is water gel-like clear liquid.

When applied on hand

after your skin absorb it (it takes less than a minute)
P.S: there is something wrong with blogspot today, it is ruining the quality of the pictures, I swear my hands are pretty, they are not pigmented and dark, like they are in these photos >.<


Pros:
Lightweight
- Not very expensive
- The bottle materials are very durable (I am clumsy and I tend to drop things a lot, but only once the pump fell off and I was able to put it back in place and it is still working like nothing happened)
- It make your skin feel fresh and energized
- Doesn't leave  a residue on your face
- Makes skin looks radiant and smooth within seconds
- You needs just a little bit for your whole face, so it is economical

Cons:
- The smell, I hate the smell of orange and citrus. ( but for other people this might be positive).

Repurchase: no, because as always, I want to try other products, and I am not a big fan of the smell.

rating: 4.5/5
