Cautions:

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; discontinue use if signs of irritation or rashes appear. Keep out of reach children. Replace the cap after use.

Packaging:

The green jar package contains 300 ml of transparent gel; it takes a long time to finish. The product and the cap are separated by the transparent plastic cover with NATURE REPUBLIC embossed on it. Oh, I wish this product were completed by spatula to keep its hygiene. You can transfer a small quantity of the gel to a pump bottle for thawing.

Ingredients:

As you can see in the picture below, this product is containing alcohol (number 2 of the list)! I think alcohol plays a role for the cooling sensation of the gel. You know too much alcohol in our skin care can make our skin dry.

Sometime I use it all over my hand and foot when I am running out of my lotion

See? The Aloe vera gel is a multipurpose product! I usually use the gel right after cleansing my face as a moisturizer and at night before my bed time. Some people use it as a wash off masker but I leave it on my face until I wake up in the morning. I also use it to moisturize my lips. Sometime I use it all over my hand and foot when I am running out of my lotion. :D

 

Result:

I started using this product since I felt my skin was dry and dull after I tried the wrong skin care. I love that the gel absorbed so quickly and a little goes a long way. The consistency of this gel also makes it very easy to glide all over my face and gives a cooling sensation, moreover I keep it in the fridge. It doesn't leave a thick or oily residue, but a shiny gel-like layer on my skin. It doesn’t make a break out or any irritation to my skin. It leaves my skin feeling so soft, smooth, and less oily after using. This product is definitely worth to buy and I will repurchase it for sure.

How to Buy:

I’m not sure if we who live in Indonesia can buy this product directly from the official site of Nature Republic or not. But don’t worry, because it can be found in many online shops and several malls in Jakarta, for example at metro Department Store of Taman Anggrek. The price ranges from IDR 50k-120k. Just so you know, I got this product from a friend whom her friend traveled to South Korea a couple of months ago, so I didn’t buy it directly from any online shop.

The left jar is already empty and the right one is remaining in a little quantity

How to differentiate the real and fake product?

By the way, some of my friends warned me to be careful if I wanted to but the gel from online shop because they have gotten fake products. The real and fake product can be differentiated from its packaging, gel texture, and scent. The fake one has lighter shade of the color label; the real one is much darker green. The label pixel of the real one is much finer than the fake. The real has much opaque jar while the fake one can be seen through. The gel texture is similar but the fake absorbs slower than the real one. The fake has stronger scent than the real one.
