This is a great basic moisturizer for everyone, especially those with oily,acne-prone skin! Those who are scared of using any moisturizer or first time incoperating one into their skin care, GET THIS!
I battled with acne for 5 years back when I was a teenager, after meeting a dermatologist, she told me that using aloe vera gel was okay! This was my first ever moisturizer and I fell in love instantly!
Up until now, I still use this product to moisturize my face!
Does not trigger acne, lightweight, dries fast, skin will be moisturized!
Minimal ingredients, its a good one to try it out
Of course, once your skin gets comfortable with a moisturizer, feel free to get an upgrade to a moisturizer with more active ingredients.
Your eye area is delicate, so it took time for me to put aloe vera gel as an eye cream back then. But now, i can just slather it on and does not irritate me at all. :) !!
CONS:
- It's weirdly thick? The aloe vera gels I've used before were not this thick. But once you squeeze it out it slides of your finger... the texture is so weird, I've never tried anything like it before
- It doesn't burn my skin but it i put it around my eyes (ie under eye area, temples, brow area, but NOT my eyelids) it burns my eyes?? my skin doesn't feel irrated but it makes my eyes water so much... almost the same way onions do... I'm guessing this is because the product includes "DDM Hydantoin." :(
PROS:
- Does not clog my pores and it hydrates my skin
- Despite the eye burning situation, I didn't notice any significant irritation for my skin, but tbh it didn't calm my skin down either(i bought it bc aloe vera is supposed to calm irritated skin).
- Budget friendly
I can't think of any specific pros- it's just what you'd expect in a moisturizer. (FYI this isn't my moisturizer, i used an oil based one after this)
OVERALL:
It's cheap and it hydrates my skin. If it didn't burn my eyes it would be so much better :((
