[Review] The Face Shop - Jeju Aloe Ice Refreshing Soothing Gel

Hello everyone! :)

I bet you have heard 92% Aloe Gel before, right? How about Aloe Ice Gel? This product here is different, slightly.

The Face Shop's Jeju Aloe Ice Refreshing Soothing Gel | 300ml / 10.1 fl. oz.


The texture is so different from the first generation aloe gel. Are you ready to find out more about this I-would-call "icy cream"?



What product is this?


The Jeju Aloe Ice Refreshing Soothing Gel (in short, Jeju Aloe Ice) is a multi-purpose soothing gel that can be used as moisturizer, after-sun care, or sleeping mask. It can be used for both face and body.

It's selling point is that it has enhanced and instant cooling effect, which is perfect to use in hot seasons.



What are the key ingredients and their functions?

Aloe Vera Leaf Extract (20,000ppm) from Jeju Island that provides soothing, moisturizing and anti-bacteria effects.

Formulated without 5 additives: parabens, talc, tar colorant, mineral oil, benzophenone-3.



Packaging

The Icy Gel comes in a light plastic container, very much alike the first generation Aloe Gel, just in different colour.

It's a bit bulky to carry around, but not to much of a worry if it's for home care. Basically I left it in the refrigerator the whole time in order to get the enhanced soothing and cooling effect.



Texture and Scent

It appears in translucent gel form when is left in room temperature.

As I left the product in the refrigerator at all time, it appears in this sherbet-like melting texture as below.

Just like the real aloe vera flesh, you will find these fine jelly-like particles once the gel is spread on the skin and it soon melted away.

It has mild aloe vera scent to it, which is not agitating.



Application

As suggested by the brand, apply on dry, sensitive and irritated areas (face and body) to soothe the symptoms.

In the case of sunburn, I would say, store the product in the freezer for 20 minutes and apply generously on the targeted area. Once the product is fully absorbed, reapply until your skin doesn't absorb the product anymore. This could bring down the sunburn after-effect effectively.

Since it is a multi-purpose moisturizing gel, you may use it whenever you see fit - morning or night.



Personal Experience

Despite I have purchased this Icy Gel for a few months now, I don't use it in my daily skincare routine, but more like an "emergency" skincare go-to. The instance cooling effect is the mainly reason why I go for it - cools down skin temperature.

For the same reason, my dad always grab this product from the fridge and apply it on his face, day and night, in which he says "the cooling effect is so comfortable"... and addictive I would say (heh).

Bear in mind that it can be slightly oily / intense for oily skin type, where I usually take small amount on each usage (mine is combination skin type).



Where to purchase?

This product is available on The Face Shop Malaysia Official Online Shop and Hermo for RM24.

Meanwhile, you can also get the same product on Althea for RM20.
