The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This gel is built around aloe vera, formulated without alcohol, artificial color or parabens, and it is marketed for use on both skin and hair. It comes in a jar rather than a tube or pump, and it is positioned to help with the look of dryness, redness, sunburn and general skin clarifying.
At around $23 for 200 grams, it lands in the middle of the price range for aloe vera gels, neither the cheapest nor the most premium option in this lineup.
With a 4.2 star average across more than 1,200 ratings, this gel has built a respectable track record. Purchase activity looks quiet in the current month, though the sizeable review count suggests a loyal customer base that has stuck with it over time.
Pros
- Pure aloe vera gel formulated for both skin and hair use
- Alcohol free, artificial color free and paraben free
- Positioned as not tested on animals
- 4.2 star average across more than 1,200 ratings
Cons
- Jar packaging means dipping fingers in repeatedly, which some find less hygienic than a pump or tube
- Marketed for a wide range of skin concerns at once, which can read as less targeted than a focused facial gel
- Currently very low monthly purchase volume
Performance notes
Aloe vera is the gel's defining ingredient, commonly used to help soothe the appearance of dryness, redness and sunburn. Because the formula is positioned for both skin and hair, it reads as a general purpose soothing gel rather than one engineered around facial care alone.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across more than 1,200 ratings is a respectable score for a straightforward aloe vera gel. Purchase activity looks quiet right now, though the sizeable review count suggests it has built a loyal following over time.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this gel on my face and my hair?
Yes, it is marketed for use on both skin and hair, which is part of why it comes in a larger jar rather than a small facial only tube. Many buyers use it as a multipurpose soothing gel across a few different needs.
Is this gel good for sensitive skin?
It is alcohol free, artificial color free and paraben free, which are favorable signs for sensitive skin. As with any new gel, patch testing a small area first is a reasonable way to confirm it works for you.
Why does it come in a jar instead of a tube?
The jar format is common for thicker, all purpose aloe gels meant to be scooped out in varying amounts for face, body or hair. If you prefer a more hygienic pump style dispenser, that is worth weighing against the jar here.
