Be it any season, I have always picked up aloe or gel based moisturizers for my oily skin. Creams and oils never suited my skin and this particular product being gel based and ‘organic’ my eyes were on it and I was keen on trying it. Last month I subscribed for the VanityCask Flawless Edition Box solely for the reason that the Gulnare Skincare Aloe & Vit E Face Cream has been included in it. Since then, I’ve been using this cream on and off. Lets see how this product went for me.
About Gulnare Skincare Aloe & Vit E Face Cream:

Ingredients: Cucumber, Aloe Vera Gel, Vitamin E
Price: 700 INR for 50 gms. You can buy it from www.gulnareskincare.com
My take on Gulnare Skincare Aloe & Vit E Face Cream:
Starting off with the packaging, as you can see, the product comes in a plastic tub with an attractive top lid. If I ignore the dip my finger- oh so unhygienic factor, there isn’t much to my disliking. The tub is of good quality, is sturdy, travel friendly and looks great among other products in my vanity. This is the packaging of the 30 gm sample that I have. However, in their website I can see that the full size product comes in a glass jar! So it won’t be that good to take it for travel.
Gulnare Skincare Aloe & Vitamin E cream is light green in color and has a faint cucumber fragrance to it. It’s a pleasant and non-lingering scent. The product is gel based and the consistency is slightly thicker than the Just Herbs Aloe Massage Gel which worked great on my skin as a daily moisturizer. Unlike plain aloe gels that sits on top of the skin, Gulnare Aloe Cream gets absorbed into the skin after a few minutes.
A dollup of the gel is enough for my oily skin and would suffice for other skin types as well. The gel spreads quite easily on damp skin and gives you a dewy and slightly sticky feel post application. It takes about half an hour for the stickiness to settle down and then the skin looks immensely hydrated and moisturized throughout the day. I skipped using it on very humid days, as I found the moisturization to be a tad bit heavier, also I’m a more of matte person and I don’t have a great liking for the dewy finish that it gives. Nonetheless, it fairs well as a night cream. Every time I use this I wake up with a soft, supple and healthy looking skin. I also used this as a under eye gel and it helps to keep them nourished throughout the night. The gel causes no breakouts!
The gel gives a mild cooling effect once it comes in contact with the skin. And this being an aloe cream, works amazingly well as an after sun treatment to calm down the skin.
This claims to be a lightweight gel, but it isn’t super lightweight like the Aroma Magic Juniper Berry Moisturizer and Lotus Herbals Acnegel. I think it’s because Gulnare Aloe & Vitamin E cream falls in the category of gel based cream product rather than runny watery gel kind of products that are ultra lightweight on the skin(if you can understand what I mean).
Summing up, Gulnare Skincare Aloe & Vit E Face Cream is a basic, natural, gel based moisturizer that does it job of providing hydration and moisture to the skin perfectly. However with the ingredients being pretty basic with aloe, cucumber and Vitamin E, the pricing is too high. The price of full size product was 550 INR earlier and now after the GST effect it is 700 INR!!!

The dewy finish isn’t something I prefer as much, but the cooling part really draws me to this.
Hefty price is exactly what I feel since it does nothing else than moisturization. I wilk give the Aroma magic moisturiser which is the fav a try.
Yes this does not give any extra benefits 🙁 Give the Aroma Magic one a try Sonali, but be mindful that it has a fragrance that might not be liked by many and it would suit only very oily skin types.
I have the same feeling. It’s the cucumber in it that gives a mild cooling effect. Sometimes I also like to refrigerate before using it.
Product to bahut effective hai ??
Per iska price dekh kar main naturally moisturize ho gai ??
Even i think we have better options in affordable range. i hate the sticky feeling that gels leave behind.
The cream looks really nice and worth buying. However as rightly mentioned by you price is little high.
I just love aleo vera made products. This one looks so great and promising. Really like its texture and the best part is it is a multipurpose cream. Now we have to carry one cream in our purse??. Nice review. Will try this sure
Is it suitable for aging skin? I am sure that Aloe & Vit. E have good results but how good they combine to effect on aging skin is I am not sure about.
I love organic skincare brands ! Although this one is a bit expensive
A day cream with the goodness of Aloe vera what else a person like me will ask who has dry skin. Loved it
I love skin care products and aloe Vera gel a lot. Will surely try this out ?
Never heard of the brand before.. looks like i need to check them out.. Impress with your review ?
tHE CREAM FOR SURE LOOKS LIKE A LIGHTWEIGHT ONE. i HAVE OILY SKIN AND I HATE CREAMS WITH A WEIGHT.
This looks so pure but it is quite costly. Loved your honest review.
Even though the price is hefty this brand is in a league of it’s own just like TNC
Would def. like to try this
