This That & Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review

Hello Guys^^

Long time no see after my previous post yow. I just received This or That Questions Tag and I will post my answers along with some review :)

This time I want to share my experience with :

Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera Soothing Gel 
(in jar 300 ml/10.56 fl.oz)

Price : around Rp. 45.000 ($6) I forgot the exact price.

I won’t say it’s cheap but I think it could still be considered as affordable.

 Pic taken from Nature Republic Website

I bought it at Matahari Tunjungan Plaza Surabaya. It is purchased along with Nature Republic Bebe Mango Concealer which I already reviewed here .

 
Above are the pics I took from the official web

And this is the item I bought. I don't know why the counter put a green sticker to cover the word '92%' in the front label. Hmm... I really wonder...

There is inner transparent plastic cap placed between outer cap and the product container. Pretty hygienic in my opinion.
'Nature Republic letters also written in the inner transparent cap.

This is how the gel looks like.

This is the back label. There is paper label in indonesian languange attached and covering the original one.

This is information from the indonesian paper label. Very much sorry for the blurry shot.

I was really curious, then I detached the paper label to see the original label behind it. And here is the appearance of the original label. (sorry for the low res pic)

Half of the original label is in korean

I’m gonna write the info on the original sticker label which is in english:

------------------------------

------------------------------

Well, I don’t know why the paper label which is written in Indonesian contains different arrangement of ingredients list compared with the original one. The ingredients list in the paper label is longer compared to which written in the original one.

 The texture is transparent with medium consistency. 

 This is how it looks like when I put it on my skin.

Texture : transparent gel, fresh aloe scent with hint of (maybe) green tea and jasmine.

It was little bit sticky (sticky like aloe vera) in the first time I applied it but it is absorbed quickly into my skin. My skin felt so fresh and hydrated.

There is time when I use it in a lot of amount on my leg because I want to cure my thirsty dry skin and I experienced a bit redness. I wonder maybe it is because I used it too much? Or maybe there is ingredient in it which is sensitizer for me, Well, I don’t know. So in the next usage I never use it in extra amount again.

It can help soothing your skin after going out for outdoor activities.

This is the side view of the jar.

Now let's jump into my conclusion.

Pros :

- multifunction hydrating gel, can be used for face, hair and body

- hydrating

- fresh scent

- no paraben, coloring, and petrolatum

- contains certified organic aloe vera

Cons :

- contains preservative phenoxyethanol

- contains alcohol

- me experienced bit redness when using extra amount

Repurchase? No. I want to look for rich body  cream.
