Banjara's Aloe Vera Under Eye Gel Review

Weekend Fun Giveaway July Week 2 Giveaway Entry #14

 
Aloe Vera has a proven track of records for its benefits. It is a world renowned plant and is used as a part of beauty regime. It is also called as the lily of dessert. Due to lack of proper sleep I developed dark circles under my eyes. I was in need of a product which could help me reduce the same. I used to extract fresh aloe juice and apply to my dark circles, but since my plant dried up I bought the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Today I am going to review the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Go ahead!



What the product claims:
The under eye area is one that shows signs of stress and fatigue early. Banjaras under Eye Gel helps in countering that. A compound of Aloe Vera and Green Tea, it helps in reducing the strain and tiredness affecting the eyes.
It acts as a coolant for the eye and helps in getting rid of the under eye lump. It also works wonderfully in preventing fine lines. As an overall effect, it provides a protective barrier making skin under the eyes less prone to wrinkles.


Price and quantity:
Rs 120 for 175 grams


Variants:


  •     Banjaras all-purpose Aloe Vera gel
  •     Banjaras all moisturising  Aloe Vera gel
  •     Banjaras Aloe Vera under eye gel


My Experience with this Product:

Packaging:  It comes in a see through tub with a green screw cap. It has a label with pictures of aloe Vera.

Colour, Consistency & fragrance: It doesn’t have any colour. It is a transparent gel and has strong a weird smell than the aloe plant. I doubt the presence of chemicals as the shelf life is 3 years. It has a medium consistency.



How it works: It works well. It gets easily absorbed into the skin. Pea sized amount is enough for the whole face. It gives a cooling sensation when applied. It gives light moisturisation to the skin and soothes my tired puffy eyes as well. It is decently priced and doesn’t make our face oily i.e. no shiny layer. It is like  water and spreads quickly on my face. It gives a glow to my face as it is a gel. (I am applying this to my face as well). It soothes any rashes, burns or redness caused by threading and waxing. It is not sticky and light weighted, overall a good product for non-sticky product lovers and oily skinned people.

Swatch:






Pros:

  •     Decently priced
  •     Little goes a long way
  •     Soothing, cooling and relaxing
  •     Easy absorption by skin
  •     Serves multiple purposes
  •     Goodness of aloe and green tea
  •     Reduces puffiness of eyes

Cons:

  •     No ingredients mentioned
  •     Tub packaging is unhygienic
  •     Packaging is not travel friendly. It is bulky and difficult to carry.


My Rating: 4/5


Recommendation: I recommend this product especially for summers.it suits oily and sensitive skin. Dry skin may need more moisturizing than this. It can be applied by everyone for dark circles.


Would I Repurchase:  Yes, until I get a new aloe plant. Fresh juice of aloe plant is better than this product. Those who don’t have it can try this.
