USES OF ALOE VERA
So what is so special about Aloe Vera gel better yet that dessert plant itself. Aloe Vera has been used for health, beauty and even to our food. I remember of this one episode of Power Puff Girls (way back in the early 2000's when I was a kid) where the girls were sunburned and was treated with Aloe Vera until their skin is peeled O_O. So it was one of the benefits of Aloe Vera : after sun gel.
There are many Aloe Vera drinks available in the market and I tried the fresh extracted one and it was so good :D

NP's ALOE VERA
Now the main part. I've been using this gel since July where it was first time buying NP's products. The salesgirl said it Korea's most selling skin care product with over 30 million pieces sold worldwide. Now, I've been using 4 jars already :D Let me break down the details.
Name : Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
Brand : Nature Republic (Made from Korea)
Volume/Weight : 300 ml
Price : At Malaysian retail store (RM 32.90), At Althea Korea (RM 15.00)

| source : Althea Korea |
As you can see when I brought from Althea Korea the price is lower. That's because Althea Korea ships their products directly from the main country. But sometime, you can buy this gel at NP store in Malaysia with a good price during promotions.
REVIEWS
Packaging : A good sturdy green translucent plastic jar with a big volume. However it is not travel-friendly and there is no spatula available (for those who are hygienic of scooping using bare fingers).
 |
| it comes with a a lid to prevent spillage! |
Price : Even in store retail price, for me it is quite cheap.
Scent ; Fresh and lovely-nature-like scent.
Appearance and uses : Due to the amount of alcohol (which may sting a bit for the first time), the gel is easily absorbed. Below are the uses and and what I've been used as and swap.
 |
| Clear and transparent gel with a mild scent |
1. Body Care : I use as my daily body lotion because I don't like lotions with creamy intensity and it absorbs fast and I once use at the skin between my thigh gap which was dry and it works!
2. Hair treatment : Use as hair mask before shampooing. Mix the gel with olive oil (not the cooking one!) and it will make your dry hair smooth and soft for a few days.
3. Moisturizer and mask pact : When I use as a overnight mask pact, The gel will dry up and absorb into the skin, after washing, my skin felt soft and plump.
4. Base make up : I was make a DIY cushion refill mix the gel with BB cream and CC cream i=with ratio 1:2:0.5, My makeup is more moisturizing and stays longer.
I'm not sure of other uses but I've seen many positive feedbacks. I might use as an after shave cream later as well.
May I remind you there are fake ones sold out there. The obvious one is not the 92% gel one. It can vary from 98% , 80%, etc... Nature Republic sells 92% one ONLY. But if it's 92% and it may look fake, here's how to differentiate it : NP Aloe Vera Gel Real vs Fake
Should I recommend you to try this? Yes!!! Or else why this gel sold more than 30 MILLION pieces? LOL. Malaysians and Singaporeans can buy from Althea here link.
Until next time, AUREVOIR~!
