aloe soothing gel cream from skinfood

Hi, back again with another review. This time, it's the aloe soothing gel cream from skinfood. I got this for free and because of that, i do not have any special hope about it.

I thought it will be just the same as the other soothing gel that i've ever tried. But actually, it is quite different.

The packaging is very simple, it has no box, just plastic seal around it. When it came, it was a little bit leaking because the consistency is very runny. The jar is in pale green color and it has aloe picture on it. Very very usual.

The content was smaller too. It only contains 100ml of product while the other soothing gel is 300ml. But after i read the instruction (yes, skinfood provides the English translation although not thoroughly) it is designed for facial usage only. So unlike the other gel that can be used all over your body, this aloe soothing gel cream is specialized only for face. No wonder the amount is not that big.

Inside, you'll find a spatula and a lid separator. I personally do not like to use spatula to scoop creams, i think it is impractical and i enjoy dipping my finger a little bit and spread it with hands.. Practical and easy

The consistency as i said before, is very runny. Almost like gel toner but a bit sturdier. It contains 92% of aloe vera. The color is transparent. The smell is subtle and fresh. The natural ingredients are: 92% aloe vera gel (the first ingredients), tamarindus indica seed gum, witch hazel extract, portulaca oleracea extract. The rest are chemical ingredients.

The tamarindus indica seed gum is well know as skin conditioning agent, emmolient and humectant. The witch hazel is well known for soothe skin, accelerate healing of bruise and wound, reduce inflammation on pimples, spot and blemish control. While the portulaca oleracea extract function are anti inflammatory, anti fungal, anti microbacteria, and analgesic properties.

It claims to soothes, cools and hydrates the skin. So does it work? YES it does!!

This is the best gel cream ever! It really feels cool on my skin and it absorbs fast. It doesn't leave greasy feeling but leaves my face so smooth. And you know what's the best part?

I can see my face complexion better, my pores become invisible. My blemish spots are fading and i never had any breakout since then. I think all the healing ingredients really work because my acne wound has faded.. In this cold weather, sometimes i develop itchy bumpy skin, i'll just apply this cream thickly on the swelling spot and i can feel the cooling soothing effect. Soon, it is not itchy anymore.

Also, when i develop small acne, i'll just apply this gel thickly on the trouble area, the next morning, the acne will shrink down and few days later, i will be gone.

I really really recommend and love this product. I never had thought a gel cream can do such an amazing thing. The price is also very cheap. It also has a fluid toner as the complimentary, i think im going to get it soon..
