I've used this product for years and recently did some digging around it that changed my mind. I believe aloe leaf extract is a powdered concentrate of aloe that is rehydrated with water, in contrast to aloe leaf juice which is freshly pressed (?). Some of its beneficial properties are lost in the dehydrating/reconstituting process of formulating with the extract. This gel also contains phenethyl alcohol (very low concentration) which is essentially fragrance and therefore potentially irritating. Gonna try something different next time.

its very good for oily skin as it moisturises without leaving it feeling greasy. What i noticed is that it stings whenever this product touches an irritated part of my face; for example, after waxing my face. Overall, it is an alright product and i reccomend gua sha with it!
