For as long as anyone can remember individual aestheticians and clinics all over the world have extolled the many benefits of using Aloe Vera as a key ingredient when caring for your skin. Aloe Vera contains some 75 active vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, salicylic acids and amino acids. Included in this power house of a natural product are antioxidants, Vitamins A and C, and, if that wasn’t enough, Aloe Vera is highly anti-inflammatory. It can also help treat burns, acne and dry skin and, although it won’t reverse the signs of ageing, experts agree that Aloe Vera can help exfoliate the skin to make it smoother. However, the growing number of skin care products proudly boasting their Aloe Vera credentials can make it a difficult task to identify a product that delivers on its promises.
It was with this sobering thought in mind that we decided to review the Aloe Vera Gele from Desert Harvest.
Containing organic Aloe Vera, Amigel (a Natural Thickener) as well as Citric Acid (Natural pH Controller) and other essential ingredients such as Natapres Natural Preservative Lonicera, Japonica and Populus Tremuloides, Aloe Vera Gele is intended to help improve the skin’s natural firmness while keeping the skin hydrated. The product also contains anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral compounds which, say DH, can help prevent wound infections and stimulate collagen synthesis as well as skin regeneration.
After ten days trialing Aloe Vera Gele we were astounded at its results. The Gele comes in a handy 2 to 8 ounce bottle (depending on which size you choose), that is easy to carry around during the day. Applying the Gele couldn’t be easier. All that is required is to squeeze a tiny amount on to the fingers and rub onto the skin. We were especially pleased to find that Aloe Vera Gele absorbed almost instantly and didn’t leave any sticky residue in its wake. After just ten days I found my skin felt firmer and much more hydrated. Dark patches that I’ve had ever since my teenage years had virtually disappeared and my skin had a glowing even tone that I still can’t stop noticing. The fact that Aloe Vera Gele contains antibacterial, anti-fungal, antimicrobial and antiviral compounds means that it’s also a perfect solution for anyone keen on preventing wound infections or stimulating collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. For those of us with sensitive skin – and I count myself in this group – Aloe Vera Gele did a miraculous job of clearing up rashes in just a matter of days. At a price of less than $20 (for the larger size bottle), Aloe Vera Gele is a must buy product for anyone looking for a robust, effective and reliable skin care solution. Highly recommended.
