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 soothing gel is built around Jeju aloe vera and is described as absorbing quickly without a sticky residue. It is meant to be applied to areas of sun exposure or irritation, including the face, arms, and legs, which makes it more of an after sun and calming gel than a cleanser, even though it is grouped with other facial gels here.
The formula is fragrance free, vegan, cruelty free, gluten free, and free of formaldehyde, mineral oil, parabens, and phthalates, and it comes in a tube meant for repeated use as needed rather than a strict daily routine step. It is made in South Korea, where it is part of innisfree's broader Jeju ingredient lineup.
With 346 ratings and a 4.5 star average, and a bought last month figure of 10, this gel has a steady but modest following compared to some of the higher volume products in this roundup.

- Fragrance free, vegan, cruelty free, and gluten free
- Works on both the face and body
- Solid 4.5 star average across 346 ratings

Performance notes
Aloe vera is a well known humectant with a long history of use for calming and hydrating skin, and it is often reached for after sun exposure. Because this gel is positioned for use on areas that need soothing, including the face and body, it is meant to help with the look of comfort and hydration rather than address any underlying skin condition.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 346 ratings is a respectable result, though it is a smaller sample than some competing gels, and the current bought last month figure of 10 points to steady rather than fast growing demand.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this gel on sunburned skin?
The listing recommends it for areas with sun irritation that need soothing, including the face, arms, and legs, so it is positioned for exactly that kind of use, though it is not a substitute for sunscreen or medical care if a burn is severe.
Can I use this on my body as well as my face?
Yes. The specs list both face and body as the target use area, so it can double as an all over soothing gel rather than a face only product.
Is this gel fragrance free?
Yes, the scent name is listed as fragrance free, which is worth noting if you specifically avoid added scent in your skin care.
