Miraculous...this from a pretty jaded product junkie who spent years experimenting with every high-end product she could get her paws on. My mother got this as a gift and passed it along, but it had gone unused in my drawer as just stand-by aloe gel until I decided to try it as a light summer moisturizer and the rest is history.

Just started my 3rd tube and it's kind of a match made in heaven. Once the weather got cooler, I started using this as a serum under my moisturizer, morning and night. My skin has never looked or felt better, not even when I was in my 20s slathering on Sisley, Clarins, Cle de Peau, La Mer...you name it. I thought baby-butt smooth was a figure of speech, but that's what I got. The change was so dramatic (and has been so free of any negative effects) that I'm almost suspicious...it's too good to be true--like crack. Am I drugging my complexion with something I'll have to pay for later on? I don't know which ingredients are creating this magical effect--is it the copper thing at the end? the bladderwrack, allantoin, bisabolol? b/c everything else seems pretty standard fare (ie., I've used before):

Water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Glycerin, Fucus Vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) Extract, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium PCA, Panthenol, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex.

Works great under makeup--doesn't ball up at all; maybe slightly sticky initially but dries smooth, unlike typical aloe gels. I use this on my neck, chest, anywhere on my body that seems to need extra care, and at around $20 for a 3.4oz tube, I don't feel like too much of a glutton. The first product I have nothing negative to say about. Ok, the parabens aren't ideal, but quite frankly, a lot my HGs have parabens and I guess I'm just not conscientious to that degree.

*Note*: I have unbelievably sensitive/reactive skin, though those of us with truly sensitive skin have all learned the hard way that one size does *not* fit all when it comes to sensitive skin (recently had a very frustrating exchange with an SA who insisted that I need not try a sample first, as product was labeled "for sensitive skin").

*For reference*: asian, *oily/combination, the kind where the oil just sits on top of dry skin; *super-sensitive (full-on rash from anything with any kind of AHA or Vitamin C, and those are just the ingredients i've identified w/100% certainty; also from metal earrings or necklaces, even nickel-free/hypoallergenic); *sizeable pores in t-zone.

I was introduced to this gel in summer by a Japanese lady who runs her own salon and from then it's been my must have! Im going through the third tube now. It is really great for conditioning skin at any circumstance. I myself have combination-sensitive skin, so Im always afraid to use something new as my face might react. But now even if my skin feels irritated or itchy I just put this gel and it helps my face to calm down overnight.
It also helps to heal acne. I can't use any acne spot medicine like clearsil etc as I face heavy peeling in that area in few days, but this gel is so mild but healing that the acne becomes smaller gradually and mostly doesn't leave any blemish. I absolutely love this gel and can't leave without this! thanks to NU skin! :)

My brother and i uses this product, i skipt on using it some times then i come back to it! Perfect for oily skin type, Lightly hydrates my skin, cooling feeling, and due to the good ingredients including aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, bisabolol and alantoine work perfect for oily skin! I alternate this, with my clinique DDMG i use a tube of this and then i use a tube of enhancer! I only wish they change the packaging to a pump one! Hardly recommended!!!

i love it. i have some bad pimples on my forhead and after i used this for less than a week and with contiuous application (once in the morning and once at night). my pimples have SIGNIFICANTLY dissapeared. it does reduce redness alot. it most definetaly helps with cystic pimples. good moisturizer. reccomend to ALL skin types. and i hear that it makes your skin kind of shiny? well since its made wiht aloe i would htink it leaves a protectant layer on your skin that looks likethat. all i do is while it is sitting on ;my skin and still a little damp, take my bare minerals matte foundation and just apply that right now. it works as a great primer i would say. people also say it is sticky but it will not be cause it is fast absorbing and after it did absorb our skin feels smooth and clean. and if your are more of the dry skin type. i would go try the NaPCA moisture mist that is also from the nuskin company. the mist is packed with nutrients and is very uplifting with its moiturizing affects and purity. and it DOESNOT disturb makeup.

I've been using this as a moisturizer for the last 10 years, both daytime and nighttime. Some people are turned off by the "toothpaste" smell, but I think because I grew up with it so I don't mind.
It's very light (gel-based) but very hydrating, and it's great for my combination skin because it doesn't make my T-zone look outrageous. When I feel my cheeks are a bit drier, I would apply 2 layers of this gel and it would be absorbed. Or sometimes I would use Face Oasis by H2O plus for one night, then resume using NuSkin.
You can also use this on sun-burnt places because it contains aloe. Also, if you have sensitive skin, you can apply a thin layer of this gel under deep cleansing facial masks and it'll be less harsh on your skin.
It's not a 5 lippie product, despite the cheap pricing for such an awesome product, because for problematic skin, this aloe-containing gel is not enough. You would need to add on a layer of serum or something.

I've used this product for over 10 years, on and off. I love the new tube packaging, as it's opaque and more hygenic than the old jar. I use this as my daytime moisturizer, especially in the summer. The aloe is what makes it seem a little sticky after it dries. In my experience, all products with real aloe in them get sticky while absorbing into the skin. Just wait 5 minutes before applying your next layer of product/makeup. In the winter, my skin likes this as a light moisturizer before a moisturizing primer, sunscreen or foundation. It really reduces irritation and gives a nice base for my firming eye cream. Because it's not highly reviewed at beautypedia.com (primarily due to lack of modern high-tech ingredients, if I recall correctly), I didn't buy it again after using up my last tube, but now my skin's suffering, so I'm reordering. It makes my face happy, so I'll keep using it!

When you first apply it, it's a bit sticky and looks kind of shiny afterwards. I apply it every night before bed and when I wake up my skin's baby soft & smooth! Very satisfied. Currently looking for a retail location..

This is Aloe Gel I most like. I use it as oil free moisturizer mixed with NaPCA Moisture Mist to be more moisturizing and less sticky. The cooling from this Gel is definitely cool especially in Summer and when I have skin irritated. Moreover, I also use it for the face massage every week.

I mix this with the Epoch Glacial Marine Mud mask and the combination is unbelievable. This product feels refreshing because of the minty sensation. I have not tried this alone but I can tell its moisturizing power.

I use this when my oil free moisturizer is not enough to hydrate my skin. It also calms any redness from my acne.

Like the gel form, but my skin trend to get very shiny and oily after a while. It's also not enough moisturize during the winter. It feels kind of sticky.

I have the old version of this product in the tub, but apparently it now comes in a tube. I can't comment on it as a moisturizer because I use it as a mask. Feels great, very cooling, and moisturizes when my face is overly dry. I just apply a ton and then tissue/rinse off. The ingredients are very impressive, especially for the price:

This is a great product, I use it all over my face including my eyes. It soothes them after a tiring day. I have also used it on sunburns and my baby's diaper rash, helped clear it right up.

The first thing I noticed about this product was the wonderful cooling sensation it brought to my skin. I was quite surprised to learn that it had menthol in it, as it didn't react badly to my skin as well (then again, my skin is able to tolerate most products). I use it as a night moisturiser over the summer months as my skin tends to get oilier then. My only criticism is that it tends to leave a bit of a sticky after-feel once applied.

This is definitely not a positive product for sensitive skin. My face was burnt after using this. At first, I did not believe I am allergic to it, because the main gredient is aloe vera. Wrong, Wrong. The second try is a disaster for me.I was totally disappointed by this product. Throw it away.

Not too long ago I burnt myself (no blistering, thank you)on the cheek by applying too much tea tree oil. A few applications (say something like 4 times a day) of this stuff help the burnt, parch area feel better and days later the burnt skin just fell off on its own.
The product is great for oily/combination skin and for people who've been in the sun all day.

I used this all the time for the humid summer months when I lived in Tennessee. Very refreshing gel-based moisturizer. Won't clog pores. Might have to start using it again and test it out in the drier coastal California weather...

Good moisturiser for summer months, I started using this when my skin got really sensitive about 4 years ago. I also brought it with me to tropical countries on my holidays and it helped me to be pimples free!
