What did I Expect?  NOTHING…yes I didn’t expect any wonders from a pure Aloevera Gel, because ALOE really didn’t do much for my skin in the past. I have tried both: the packaged gels as well as the gel squeezed directly from the plant, but nothing worked. So, finally I just gave up on Aloe Vera Gel.

 

 

But strangely I have found one very very very worthy use of this Auravedic Pure Aloe Vera Gel…Want to know what it is? Read on…

 

Look & Feel

• Package: Sturdy round plastic jar package. It also has a plastic shield to prevent the gel from spilling. Overall, it has a very classy neat look and I really like it. But again jar packages are unhygienic.  Wish it changes the packaging into a tube form.

• Fragrance: It has a strong citrusy fragrance which might be overpowering for sensitive noses. I personally find it to be refreshing but again it kind of feels artificial compared to the pure smell of lime.

• Texture: I really love the semi transparent watery gel texture of this product. It feels like a tender coconut pulp. I am sure I would dive into the gel during summers

AuraVedic Aloevera Gel Effects

As per the usage instructions, one can use the Aloevera Gel for many purposes: A healing gel, a Hair Styling Gel and a Moisturizer. I have tried it in all the mention ways and let’s see how it worked

Daily Moisturizer? I have normal to dry skin and a gel based moisturizer will definitely not work for me in winters. So, this aloe-vera gel also didn’t provide much moisturization as it absorbed into my skin instantly. But I found my skin to be smooth and firmed up. So, even if it didn’t work as a moisturizer it worked for me as a toner

Hair Styling Gel? For my extremely dry hair this aloevera gel didn’t cause much difference. Also, it would be more suitable to provide light weight moisturization to hair than for styling. It doesn’t hold your style but might help a little to smoothen the hair. Would be great for oily scalps with slight frizzy hair.

Healing Gel? I didn’t try it on bruises or cuts as I currently I don’t have any.  But, I have used it as a cooling gel post hair removal on my hands and it feels nice for the cooling sensation it provides.

Now if you are wondering what’s that very worthy use I have found of the aloevera gel, it is as an Under Eye Gel.

Eye Gel: Being an insomniac, I tend to have sleepless nights every now and then which effects my eyes. Adding to that, I work with laptops which tires my eyes badly. Usually I use ice cubes to cool my burning eyes but due to winters I have been neglecting it and was looking for a cooling eye mask or eye gels. When I tried this aloevera gel under the eyes it provided a tingling cooling sensation which felt good. I have been using it almost 3 times a day like an eye mask. I apply it thickly and let it dry. Because it’s a gel it gives a stretchy feeling but once rinsed off with water my eye area felt firm and smooth. It didn’t do much to my dark circles in 2 weeks but it did make my eye area a little smoother. I love it and can’t stop using it an an eye gel.

Irritations? I didn’t get any rashes or allergies but it does sting my skin like how lime juice stings when applied on dry areas. When checked the ingredients I did notice the presence of Lemon Oil which I feel might be the reason for the toning properties of this gel. But not to worry as the burning sensation reduces in few minutes.

Herbal Purity? All the ingredients listed are natural except for the presence of alcohol. So I’d suggest to go for a patch test of you have any doubts about how it would react on skin. 

Cost Efficiency: Totally worth every penny spent.

Final Note:  I feel it would do wonders for oily skin as a moisturizer cum toner. Ladies with normal or dry skin type, do try it as it’s a product that can be used in multiple ways and I am sure you will find some very good uses of it. For me I absolutely love it as a toner and as an eye gel. So grab it and discover it’s many uses.
