I usually stay away from anything that has to do with "gel".  That includes aloe vera.  Can't stand the way gels feel.  That is until I tried this product.  Maybe it was the color of the product.  I love lavender.  Anyway, I only use 1 squirt on my hands then massage it onto my face and boy does it feel good.  It rinses off very easily and makes your skin feel really nice and soft.  Usually I'm having to race for the cream before my skin dries out but not with this product.  I then use my night cream.  I'm 61 and don't want or have to use the heavy duty stuff yet.
