I have been hearing about this aloe vera gel rave in beauty bloggers and beauty enthusiasts that it's a must have. Why? Because it's multi purpose. Who doesn't love multi purpose products?  You have at least 10 different ways on how to use it which was shown above.

There's this local store in our city that sells aloe vera gel that she introduced to me but in the end I didn't buy because I have not heard of the brand. I admit I am a bit brand conscious when it comes to skincare and sometimes cosmetics because you know that these branded products only sell good products. I doubt they would compromise their prestige by selling mediocre products. 

Moving on, gosh I really like telling nonsense here. Mian~ So while I was in Ho Chi Minh last year, I was looking for Nature's Republic Aloe Vera gel since there were a lot of good reviews with it but didn't find any so I just bought from another one brand, Skin79 which was the 1st korean brand I have tried though I had a bad experience about it.

Background of the product

Brand: Skin 79

Weight : 300g

Price: Php 400(?)

Made in : Korea

Variant / Flavor: Aloe Vera

Other variants : No other variant available. 

Pros
- multi purpose
- has cooling effect
- instant moisturize

Cons
- unsanitary
- not available locally

4.5/5 
Even though it's a bit unsanitary because you need to dip your fingers into the tub to apply more product and even though it's not available locally aside from korean cosmetic stores, the fact that it's multi purpose beats all the cons of this product. I consider it as an essential in my skincare stash since I do get super dry skin every now and then. I use it on my legs or feet after I scrub off all the dead skin cells to keep them moisturized. Also on my face whenever I want to have a face mask with cooling effect.  In addition,  I also use it before applying BB cream if my face is super dry for instant moisturized face.

Repurchase?
Definitely.  Actually I bought 2 tubs of this gel but from Missha this time.

A must have for those people who likes multi purpose products.  It's a natural product and aloe vera is a well known nowadays in cosmetics and skincare. With the benefits listed above, who doesn't want to purchase this amazing product?
