I am here to share my experience about my current moisturizer.I have combination which is oily at T zone and normal at cheeks and chin. My skin is prone to breakouts frequently.

After reading many reviews i thought to buy aloe vera gel from nature's essence as i had good experience with nature's essence lacto tan clear soap.Read further to know how it fared me.

MY VIEW
I used this gel as a moisturizer after cleansing and toning my facial skin. I take a pea size amount and apply it all over my face and neck. The gel initially feels sticky and later it dries on but it remains as a layer on my skin instead of getting absorbed into my skin. As it forms a layer on my skin it clogs the pore and leads to break outs :-( :-( :-( .I used it for a week on face and my skin broke out than it used to be,so i stopped using it on my face and started using it as after wax gel,it works fine that way.Once when i washed my face with aloe gel on my face it lathered slightly!! so i guess it has some silicone in it,but not sure.
PROS:
1. Affordable.
2. Easily available.
3. Performs good as after wax gel.
CONS:
1. Breaks out the skin.
2. Feels sticky.
3. Unhygienic tub packaging.
4. Settles as layer on skin.
5. Does nothing to skin.
6. Has strong smell that resembles men body spray that may irritate the skin.
7. False claim of treating sun burn and acne.
8. Missing full ingredient list.
RATING: 2.5/5.
