Review of Patanjali Aloevera Gel

Hello my lovelies. Hope you all are doing great. Today I was following my usual beauty regime when I suddenly realized that I have not review one of my holy grail product as of yet. And since this product is so good it definitely needs to be mentioned. So here I am reviewing the Patanjali Aloevera Gel. This is a product that I use 365 days without a single skip. Before I start the review I would like to tell you all an incident that happened a few months back. I had gone to visit my sister in Sharjah and I don't know why but the weather there doesn't suit me. I get sick whenever I go there. So again when I went there in March for a month stay, I suffered with cold and cough. I took some medicine but sadly one of the medicine reacted and I was left with swollen face with minute bumps all over my face and neck. To my bad luck I was out of this gel at that time and I took medicines to get well. However nothing seemed to work. I applied rose water and other things hoping that something will work. This went on for like a week but there was no change. Luckily I found the Patanjali Aloevera Gel in a local shop there and I bought it immediately. I started using it by applying a thick layer overnight and then again after bath. There was visible change from the very next day and within 4-5 days all the bumps and swelling disappeared. However it took around a month to get the clear skin that I normally have. So you can imagine how good is this product.

I have been using this gel for more than a year now and I couldn't be happier. I suffered with irregular skin tone, acne and a dull face before. But since I started using this gel, I seldom suffer with any breakout. I have clear skin most of the time and my face looks bright and healthy. Even when I don't apply any makeup (which is most of the time) I do get compliments. The Patanjali Aloevera Gel retails for Rs.80 for 150ml. It is also available at Rs.40 for 60ml of product. You can easily find it in any local store and also on different websites like Nykaa, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. Patanjali has become a renowned brand owned by Baba Ramdev.

Now let's start with the packaging. The product comes in a transparent tube with an orange colored flip cap. The packaging is sturdy and looks very basic. In the front the brand name is mentioned in Hindi and there is a picture of aloevera plant on it. It also has the hologram on top so that the customer is assured of its authenticity.

Front Side

On the backside the brand name is mentioned in English. It also mentions the ingredients which is 90% Aloe barbadensis, Vitamin E, Permitted color & artificial smell. It says that the product is useful in roughness and dryness of skin, removes dark spots and increases skin glow. It also mentions directions of use which is mentioned in Hindi. Basically the direction says to massage the gel all over face or to apply a thick layer all over the face and sleep overnight. Wash with lukewarm water in the morning. You can also apply this gel 30 minutes before going to bath. For removing the roughness or patchiness and for treatment of dark spots, massage the gel for 5-7 minutes.If you are suffering with hair problems such as dandruff, hair fall, roughness, no growth; you should massage with this gel for 15 minutes before bath. Apart from all this, the manufacturing details are given and price is stamped on the crimp. The product has a shelf life of 18 months.

Back Side

Once you flip the cap open, the gel can be squeezed out. The consistency is obviously gel like but more inclined towards watery side. However it is not runny. The ways in which I use is a tad bit different then what is mentioned on the tube. I use a thick layer on the face at night time and wash it off in the morning. But instead of using it before bath, I use it after bath. I take a pea sized amount and massage all over the face. The gel dries out in a few minutes and my skin is left smooth and gives a healthy glow. Sometimes I use it on my hair after shampoo but only on the ends. This way I have less visible split ends. I also use it before makeup, if I need to go out for an hour or two. Instead of primer I massage this gel on my face as it sticks on my face and I think it's better to apply this instead of primer as primers have more chemicals in it. Also I use this to set my eyebrows but this differs from person to person. I have full brows so I don't really need eyebrow products to cover any gaps. Due to its quality and effectiveness, the Patanjali Aloevera Gel is one of my holy grail product. Below is a picture of the gel and the amount that I normally use.
