PATANJALI SAUNDARYA ALOE VERA GEL REVIEW

By Simli

Hi lovelies!

Aloe vera gel has almost become part of our life. Almost everyone in our beauty regime include aloe vera gel in one or the other way. Patanjali is well known for its aloe vera gel (read review HERE) and recently they introduced a new product in there beauty range. The new product can be called as a updated version of their previous aloe vera gel.

Like their previous aloe vera gel this has also become an essential part of my daily skin care routine. Apart from aloe vera which is the key ingredient it also contains kesar chandan which is well known for its skin brightening property. I have been using this product for almost a month now and I’m quite satisfied with its results.

Packaging:

The packaging of this product is quite similar to the previous patanjali aloe vera gel. It comes in a plastic tube with flip open cap which makes it travel friendly. The cap doesn’t opens on its own, its quite hard. The plastic tube is transparent but it has golden print on it. On the body of the product its written that it contains kesar and chandan. On the lower portion of the packaging the uses are mentioned and it says that it is a instant solution for pimples , wrinkles and glowing skin.

Price : Rs 50 for 60 ml.

Ingredients: It says that every 5g contains:

Aloe barbadensis – 89.00%

Crocus sativus (saffron)– 0.01%

Santalum album (sandalwood)– 0.10%

The base material : Vitamin E, permitted colour and sugandhit dravya.

Texture:

The texture of the gel is perfect, not too runny not too thick. But it is somewhat less thicker than the previous aloe vera gel by patanjali. The colour is golden-yellow. Apt for application and its very much cooling.

Uses:

Useful in roughness and dryness of skin, it helps to remove pigmentation , dark spots and increase skin glow.

How to use it: The product also comes with three different ways of using it (all the ways are mentioned in hindi):

1. Apply on face and keep it overnight , next morning wash your face with lukewarm water.

2. Apply on face 30 minutes before bathing.

3. Apply on blemishes leave for 5 minutes and then wash off.

My experience:

I have always a huge fan of aloe vera gel because of its cooling effect This new product have already become a part of my daily skin care routine as mentioned earlier. I use this everyday before going to bed and after washing my face with face wash. The consistency of this product is very good , its actually the consistency that I prefer personally in any gel. Its neither too runny nor too sticky or too thick. It glides onto my skin very smoothly.

The colour of the gel is yellowish. It has a strong kesar fragrance which I kinda like, sensitive nose may find it very strong and dislike. After applying this gel it gives the same cooling sensation like any other aloe vera gel. It doesn’t feels heavy on my skin too. It takes very little time to dry up and after drying it gives a warm glow. Though the glow doesn’t lasts longer. I have few blemishes on my skin but this product did no good with them.

As the gel is very light it is not fit for the coming winter and can’t be used as a moisturizer . It can be used as a base for makeup too. It isn’t sticky at all and its one the reason I like about this product very much.

Saffron works on lightening the scars & blemishes and sandalwood calms and soothes the skin and gives a natural glow.

In all it is a good product for daily use in summers. Can be used as a base regularly. As it is a herbal formula it will not do any harm to your skin.

Pros:

• Good for regular use.
• Easily available in any patanjali store.
• Value for money.
• Good consistency.
• Has saffron and sandalwood which works even better on blemishes with regular use & are cooling on the skin.

Cons:

• Very strong smell.
• Has parabens

Rating: 4.5/5

Editor’s Note: I recently got the regular Patanjali Gel, definitely trying this once I am done with the current one.
