Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Review


So today I went to Nature Republic and picked up the Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel, which I hear it their #1 selling product. I've been hearing such great things about this product so I decided to go and try it out for myself. 

I got mine for $5.50 in New York (and apparently they cost a lot if you buy it in other places, except maybe Korea which is about 3 USD). I mean 300mL for about $6, that's such an amazing deal!

You probably have already heard that this product is used for absolutely anything imagined and guess what, its really true! The 92% aloe vera makes the product virtually natural and can be used to moisturize any part of your body: skin, nails, hair, lips, etc.






 When I opened this I saw that there was a protective covering on the top, which keeps it from getting too messy, because once you open it, the actual gel is very runny (but not too runny). You need to make sure that you dont shake the container too much or else the gel is going to get all over the place.



The scent is very very refreshing, and it really smells like aloe vera (I mean, it SHOULD--i might even try using some as air freshener). The gel is super light and thin, but at the same time, does its job. It moisturizes very well and since it isn't very sticky, you don't need to put so much on your skin. 

I just got this today and put the moisturizer on my cuticles, arms, and legs and they're still moisturized.  

 The aloe vera is completely clear, but the container is light green making it show as a kind of greenish color. 


See? Completely clear. 

And it rubs smoothly too.



 At first when I put it on, it felt a little too sticky to my liking, but about a minute later, I realized that all the stickiness went away and it felt lightless, like I wasn't even wearing lotion.


If you ever get a chance, this is a must buy product! I highly recommend trying it out. It's only $5.50 if you live in the New York area, not bad for such a great product! I believe there's only one in New York and you can only buy it in Flushing, but the store is great. Completely neat and organized. (If you live near a Nature Republic I advise you not to buy online, it feels like a rip off)



Rating: 5/5
Pros: Lightweight, smells good, moisturizes well, cheap, versatile.
Cons: None so far.
Recommend: DEFINITELY.
