Aloe Vera Gel

My face is so dry it's flaking! Too long in the air-con. Went to buy aloe vera gel to soothe my face. So end up buying two different ones:

Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gelly



I bought this from gnc and it says there organic although i duno how organic it really is but the ingredients look fine to me.

Description

This aloe vera gel feels good to me. When i smooth over my face, it kinda feels like egg white. It's not very expensive that's what i like about it. It is about 12 sgd or less? sorry can't remember. I have oily skin and it feels good on my face but i don't think you should put it on your nose? it gives me one or two tiny bumps on the nose. My sis used it and it works very good on her. She has dry sensitive skin unlike me :(
my face is oily and sensitive. It has no smell, no color. The no smell part is what i really like about it. I really love the feeling when you washed it off, it feels reali smooth.


and i bought the other one from watson

Jorubi Aloe Vera Gel



This is more expensive than lily of the desert. But i don't like this. If your skin is really dry, maybe you would like this. This provides more moisture than lily of the desert. No smell too. But not for me. I feel it's too sticky for my skin. I end up putting them on my leg and burns instead haha! I have cystic acne on my chin and so far i put these(Both), has not aggravate my acne. I wouldn't recommend this to use as a moisturise, but more for soothing.
