I am going to be honest with you guys, I lost/ threw away the box that this product came in so I can't really comment on the packaging of the box. And I have been using this product for at least 7-8 months so I can't recall how the box looks like. But talking about the bottle of the product, it is not like the etude malgem one where it is plastic that got moulded to look like glass. This product actually got put into a glass bottle, I was totally surprise by that, oh it makes me feel like I am using a luxury product XD.

This product has a thick watery consistency, is probably similar to the consistency of serums.  Once again it sinks into your skin pretty fast (but not as fast as products i have previously mentioned) , it might feel slightly sticky (the stickiness it gives is different to the innisfree green tea pure skin) when first applying it,  but it is actually perfectly fine after you let the essence settles. As always etude house product have really nice scent to their product, this time the product have a citrus like scent to it, I actually quite enjoyed it when using it :D

after patting it onto my skin

after leaving it for approx 1-2 minutes

After applying it onto the face it definitely hydrate and moisturises my skin, I didn't get any breakouts from using this product and my pore actually minimised after using this product, maybe it's because it increased the production of my collagen or perhaps is because it penetrates into the deep layers of my skin keeping it dewy and healthy, therefore my pores have reduce in size! This product definitely brighten up your face, because my face use to be kinda dull, but now it looks more glowy.

I will definitely repurchase this product and I recommend all of you to buy this product. This product does fabulous job !!! There is not a single thing I dislike about this product. This is definitely one of my "holy grail" products!

[Review] Etude House Aloe Moistfull Soothing Gel

I purchase the Etude House Aloe Moistfull Soothing Gel while I went to Korea last year! So I have decided to write a review after using it for several months!

Etude Moistfull Aloe Soothing Gel claims to:
 
"The soothing Gell containing enriched Baobab Tree extracts and Organi Aloe, supplies instant moisture to the skin with refreshing feel"


Ingredients: 
Water, Butylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadenisis leaf extract, Adansonia Digitata fruit extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavendar) flower water, Anthemis nobilis flower extract, Ethylhexyglycerin, Polsorbate 20, Carbomer, Tomethamine, Benzophenone-5, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Yello 5 (Cl 19140), Blue 1 (Cl 42090)

Direction: Apply Soothing Gel after washing your face or body with gentle massage. Apply when you feel extreme dryness or soothe sensitive skin, adding gel on skin whenever you need. 

The product is: 150 mL (But apparently there are 3 sizes 10, 150 or 300 mL)
Cost: $11 USD (A very affordable price)

The design of the product is quite simple nothing too fancy or too boring which I quite like and it come in a pump, which make a more hygienic because I don't have to dab my fingers into the jar of cream/ gel. 

After blending in the soothing gel

The texture of the gel is clear  and a light weighted and watery consistency, which makes it very easy to spread and absorb. The product is not sticky at all after using it my skin feel so hydrated and fresh! The aloe soothing gel does not make my face feel oily after hours of using it. It actually calms my blemishes as well.

After leaving it for 1-2 minutes

The scent of it is really nice and refreshing is not too artificial or concentrated.
I will definitely repurchase this product after I run out of it, highly recommend my readers.
to buy it because there is so much function to it. The downside of this product is the pump it does not work as well as I imagined it to. Like when I pressed it the gel kinda splatter everywhere, so I have to be very gently when using the pump.

Function of the product:
 

You can put it over your face for 5-10 minutes before make up to calm you blemishes.
Is good to use it during summer to because it can cool you down by (-2 degrees) while keeping you hydrated!

Even though this is another product from the line but I also tried doing the same thing with this product and it works perfectly my fingers immediately stop cracking :D
(Finally I can have nice fingers during winter haha)

You can also use it to stop your hair from getting frizzy and keeping them looking silky, this also work with styling your hair like making you hair stay intact.
