A breakthrough product in the history of modern cosmetology is Nature Republic’s Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing gel.
What they claim– Enriched with natural Aloe vera, this gel can be used to mildly moisturize various parts of the body such as legs, face, arms and hair.
Price– I bought it from Amazon India. It costed me 1550 INR for 300ml.
Texture– Very light watery gel. Forms a very thin smooth layer on the skin.
Ingredients – This being one of the best Korean products, I decided to do a lot of research on the internet about the various benefits of its ingredients. And I was so satisfied after the research. The product has whatever it takes to be one of the very best !
1. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract 92%– Known for its innumerable health benefits, Aloe Vera tops every list in being the most effective and powerful skin moisturizer. It has cooling effects.

9. Other ingredients– Alcohol, glycerol polyacrylate, 1,2-Hexadi-ol, Betaine, carbonara, PEG-60-Hydrogenated castor oil, triethamine, phenoxyethanol.
How I use it-
1. Take a small amount. Apply it as a make-up base.
2. Can be used before stepping into the sun.
3. I apply as a mask- a thick coat. Keep it for an hour. Wash it off.
4. Take moderate amount. Mix it with a little rose water. Massage in circular motions. Keep it overnight.
5. I haven’t used it for the hairs yet. But I will surely try it out and maybe review it in a hair mask blog soon.
How I found the product ?
It comes in a 300 ml tub.
1. THE PROs
- The packaging is very green and bright and it gives herbal vibes.
- It is travel friendly, but only if you are carrying a medium sized cosmetic pouch.
- Lasts very long. I have been using it for almost a month now, and I haven’t even finished one fourth of it !
- The smell is mild and pleasant to the senses. You can get a very mild mint small, most probably because of the spearmint ingredient in it.
- The gel was very thin, transparent and light weighted, perhaps the most lighted product I have ever used ! It is very watery because of the glycol solvents in it. It is very soft and plumpy to apply and I feel like massaging it endlessly !
- After immediate application, it gives skin a very healthy and supple glow. When I use it at night, it gives a glowing and bright moisturized skin in the morning.
- As a makeup base, it acts like a primer and the makeup stays for long.
- With regular use, lightens the scar.
2. THE CONs-
- Very expensive !!!
- If you have an oily skin like me, the gel coverage Doesn’t last for more than 2 hours.
- I haven’t seen any noticeable action on the acne.
- I noticed little whiteheads on the nose and chin after using this.
- The sunscreen property is debatable.
- Didn’t help me with my dark circles.
Rating– 4.25/5
– .75 for the price, whiteheads and also, it’s not avaiable in smaller sizes, that makes it less travel friendly.
Will I buy it again ?
Yes! Yes ! Yes ! ( until I find something better )

Hey Tajwar. I use Aloe every day. I love the benefits I have seen from using it. But i’m very particular about what products I use as alot are watered down or contain other parts of the plant etc. I actually drink Aloe 🙂 x

This product is quite good. If you have an aloe Vera plant in your house, that’s super amazing then. And if you don’t, use any aloevera gel. What you can do is mix aloe Vera gel with a little rose water and massage. Rose water helps in penetrating penetrating the gel into the skin. This mixture has helped a lot with my acne and also helped in firming my skin.
