REVIEW: Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

~AG~

I bought this Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel in Korea recently. I cannot remember how much I bought it for but I am pretty sure it costs less than US$10. I decided to buy it because I read online reviews on how versatile this product is. Plus, aloe vera is always good for sensitive skin like mine. I stored mine in the fridge so that it is nice and cool for application. Cold aloe vera feels extra refreshing on dry skin. 

Enriched with 92% aloe vera. Mild formula free from paraben, mineral and artificial colors. THis soothing gel with 92% organic aloe vera certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) can be used to mildly moisturize various parts of the body such as the face, arms, legs and hair. 

Last weekend, I spent a little too much time under the angry sun and as a result, my skin became sunburnt. It was red and itchy. It was a good opportunity to try out this newly purchased Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. What I can say about it is that it is non-sticky and is quickly absorbed into the skin. It has a refreshing scent - a mix of aloe vera and "ocean scent". The gel feels especially soothing on application. After three days of application (twice a day), I did not have to use the aloe vera gel on my sunburnt skin anymore. My skin did not peel at all, and I believe it is because of the healing properties of the aloe vera. I feel that it works better than Banana Boat Aloe Gel for After Sun Care.

I have yet to use it on other parts of my body. But I will do an updated review when I do try it out on my face.
