Review: Herbline Essentials Hydra 5 Gel

Hi Dearies...
They say that you cannot judge a book by its cover but you can definitely do so by it's first line...A perfect introduction is everything... It should be bizarre but not crazy. Funny but not weird. Exceptional but not unconventional... Something that's bizarre, funny and exceptional combine together to create a flawless introduction... Wondering why I was saying this... I simply was trying to catch your attention.. :) Don't know if I am successful.. But if I am do stay on and read till the last bit ... :)
So guys books aside and beauty on the table let's do this together.. Introducing to you .. The Herbline Essentials Hydra 5 Gel - Tadaaa
Picture
Product Claim:  Versatile oil and wax free formulation providing deep penetrating re hydration for the skin. Made with 95% Aloe Vera juice, the gel gently seals moisture into the skin for a longer lasting effect. Its’ natural, non oily SPF 11 sunscreen properties also help to protect skin from pollution, dirt and dryness, leaving it smooth and supple. It also works as an effective moisturizer for oily/problem prone skin, as an after sun gel and soothes after waxing and shaving.

Judgement:

Packaging: The packaging is out of this world.. The outer box is a blue and white combination with some intricate leafy designs... The actual jar reminded me of the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm with a frosted glass jar and plastic screw on lid.. Now here's the real deal... This product is by far the most gorgeous product I have ever used.. Literally.. Its an aqua green color gel that feels so cool tot he touch..

Product: Now initially I was a bit skeptical in using this gel as my moisturizer since it was clearly meant for normal or oily skin which I am neither.. I am combination leaning more towards the dry zone... But anyways I decided to give it a go and I was pleasantly surprised.. Initially I used a pea sized amount and gently spread it over... Holy Moly!! It seemed like there was a water explosion on my face .. It felt so good as though I was drenched in water and my skin just drank in the hydration..

 But I felt that it was not enough as it sort of mattified my face and took another go... Now after two application my face felt really hydrated but super matte... I knew it, that instant, that this would be a great makeup base.. So henceforth I incorporated it into my morning routine and my face doesn't grease up as fast as it used to before.. 
Picture
This gel also has an SPF 11 which I feel is useless since it is so negligible.. I always use a separate sunscreen which is the safest bet.. So all in all it's a great product especially for summer but I cannot see it working for winters though.. I definitely need something more potent in winter for my dry flaky patches..
Picture
However the best part of this product is that it is such a safe and gentle one to use... It is formulated with absolutely no parabens and paraffins. Plus it only contains truly natural and organic ingredients which is something so rare these days...

Price: $ 35 (Approx AED 140)

Availability: Boots pharmacies & Herbline-Essentials.com

Verdict: 3.5/5
