Banana Boat After Sun Aloe Gel Review

I found this calmed my sunburn for a little while, but not for very long. It can be very cooling, but this time of short cooling is not worthy it for me, as I found it very sticky afterwards. I feel sticky and greasy after using it, and desperately need to wash my hands. I have found other after sun gels that are much more effective.

I burn ridiculously easily in the sun, so aloe vera gel has been my loyal summer companion for many years. I've just about tried them all! This one I used for about half a summer then absolutely couldn't stand the smell and went back to my usualy cancer society one.

It does a good job soothing my itchy and sore skin, and feels hydrating when I apply it. It doesn't seem too alcoholic but still evaporates/absorbs relatively quickly. I find a tiny tiny drop is enough for my entire face as it spreads easily. It's also good for the whole body as a gel moisturiser when you feel like cream lotions are too heavy. When I was trying to use it up I would apply it to my whole body after showering, and it felt very cooling yet keeping my skin hydrated.

The smell is the one thing keeping me from repurchasing. I don't mind an unscented product or one that smells a little strange/herb like, because at least that means they didn't add any artificial fragrance. But this smelled super unpleasant, like hot rubber or something. Even though it's been ages since I used it, I can still rememver vividly the repulsive smell that I had to bear every time I put this on my face. Absolutely couldn't stand the smell, but maybe if you're using it on your legs or arms it wouldn't be as strong.

After a Banana Boat scandal that left me burnt and sore, I was sent this as a "sorry our sunblock failed". It's been in the fridge ever since and it's a blimmen delight during the hot months, let me tell ya.

I love the lid, and the fact it just pops up. The gel inside squeezes out so easily, I don't think I'll have to ever turn this puppy upside down. I also love the eye catching green, it's awesome!

The smell of the aloe gel isn't overly potent, it's quite calming and nice actually. Putting this on my sun reddened skin my whole body feels instantly cooled. I don't find it sticky at all, which is also another bonus because I HATE sticky aloe gels. They drive me bonkers!

It's definitely very soothing, and it sinks into the skin or evaporates quickly, which makes me think that's why it's not so sticky. I'd definitely repurchase.

This is a fantastic product for the first aid kit! I used it over summer a few times and it did exactly what it said it should. However once applied it did leave a bit of a sticky residue, not for long but it was rather annoying.

Great on sunburn and is also soothing for itchy bites and rashes. Absorbs quickly but I do find that I have to wash my hands after applying it. Personally I have no problem with the smell but it is quite strong.

this aloe vera gel is very green and very fragranced which is not supposed to be added in a aloe gel which is to calm down irritated or sensitive skin ,but the amazing thing is my skin feels very good after using this ,nourished and hydrated , helps with the acne and oil skin ,not non irritating at all even wont sting my eyes when sometimes i used around my eyes.

It's very nice Works well. A trusted brand. Very good on sensitive skin I found. Top marks on this product.
