Why Aloe Vera Matters in an Active Routine
When using potent actives like retinol, the skin barrier can experience temporary sensitivity during the adjustment period. Aloe vera provides immediate calming hydration — reducing redness, supporting comfort, and helping the barrier recover overnight. Applied after retinol, it is one of the most effective and gentle ways to maintain skin health while building tolerance to stronger ingredients.
How To Use
With Retinol (evening): Apply a generous layer after Retinol MAX 5% has absorbed. Allow to sink in fully before sleep. This “sandwiching” technique — moisturiser before and after retinol — significantly reduces irritation for beginners.
As a standalone hydration step: Apply to clean skin morning or evening as a lightweight moisturiser or hydration boost under your regular cream.
For body and hair: Apply to dry or irritated skin anywhere on the body. Use on hair as a lightweight conditioning treatment or scalp soother.
After sun exposure: Apply generously to sun-exposed skin to calm redness and restore moisture. An ideal after-sun companion through spring and summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this every day?
A: Yes — this gel is gentle enough for daily use morning and evening. It is particularly beneficial as a nightly hydration step during retinol use, and as a lightweight morning hydrator before SPF.
Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Aloe vera is one of the most universally well-tolerated skincare ingredients. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin.
Q: Can I use this on my hair?
A: Yes — apply to damp or dry hair as a lightweight conditioning treatment, scalp soother, or frizz tamer. It won't weigh hair down or leave residue.
Q: Is aloe vera good for after sun?
A: Yes. Aloe vera is one of the most clinically studied after-sun ingredients. It reduces UV-induced inflammation, restores moisture to sun-exposed skin, and helps calm redness. Apply generously after time outdoors through spring and summer.
Q: Can I use aloe vera gel with Vitamin C?
A: Yes. Apply Vitamin C serum first, allow it to absorb, then layer aloe vera gel on top for added hydration. The two ingredients are fully compatible and work well together in a morning routine.
Q: How does aloe vera help with retinol irritation?
A: Aloe vera's anti-inflammatory and humectant properties help counteract the dryness and sensitivity that retinol can cause during the adjustment period. The “sandwiching” technique — applying aloe vera before and after retinol — is widely recommended by dermatologists for beginners.
Q: Is this the same as aloe vera from a plant?
A: Our gel uses certified organic aloe vera extract, which is more concentrated and stable than raw plant gel. It delivers the same soothing and hydrating benefits in a consistent, shelf-stable formula.
