Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturising Body Gel

I was given a bottle of this, and my initial feeling was that it felt a little cold and sticky on my skin. It is really an aloe vera get that you would use to treat sunburn. It does say this on the back of the bottle, but is not really clear on the front. I think it would be a nice product on your skin if you were a bit sunburnt - but who is sunburnt anymore?! I would not use this as a daily moisturiser.

First impression: Packaging- Nice small compact packaging but also of decent size. Love the colour green, reinforces Aloe Vera which is the main ingredient. The clear packaging allows you to see inside of it- it means that you know what you are getting. Body gel- Nice light scented fresh aloe vera smell. The formula is nice and light. Clear- reinforces the idea of fresh.

After trial period: After using the body gel, it feels refreshing and clean. I find that every time after I use this body gel, my skin feels sticky. After using the it on my face, not long after my skin feels as if it was just as dry as it was before, if not drier.

If I had a choice I would not use this product again.

I had never tried a gel moisturiser before and so keen to try this one. Initially, after a hot shower it is quite chilly on the skin and I was rather surprised. It reminded me of being on holiday on Hamilton Island with my very sunburnt sons and using aloe vera gel to ease their pain. The chill isn't what I like after a hot shower! However it does blend in reasonably well.

My fingers felt sticky and it took a while to ease in though afterwards my hands felt soft. I have to say though, that my elbows and heels are always the end-of-day test and they do not pass this one!

It's a nice product to take on holiday, in my opinion, great for the sunburn or after the beach and for the kids too because it smells fresh not flowery. For me though, you can't beat a cream moisturiser.

I approached this gel as an after-sun care moisturiser only and I think that's probably why I was pretty happy with the results. It's got that great 'cold' aloe feel about it, and definitely felt nice putting it on my hot skin after time out in the sun. A tiny bit tacky feeling when applying, but this seems to evaporate pretty quickly so didn't bother me. I made hubby try it out also and he was very happy with how it felt (so get's the guy tick of approval in this household). I've previously had a spray on aloe gel and I actually prefer the squeezy bottle of this (I always found myself cringing before spraying because I knew it would be cold - where as this one you don't have that shock factor).

I hardly ever get sunburned, but I always put this gel on after being out at the beach or whatever, and its always so cold and refreshing and moisturises my skin well! I don't particularly like the texture of it too much, if you put it on and then put a long sleeve on straight away you feel a bit sticky for a while. If you have really dry skin then this probably won't work too well, it is not the best moisturizer

Nice to put on, soothing after sunburnt an a really refreshing feel and smell. This is super moisturising, as are all Vaseline products, but I did feel sticky for a while until it dried completely. I prefer their other moisturiser overall.

This stuff is amazing on your skin if you've been in the sun/wind a lot and are feeling sore - it cools and soothes your skin as well as moisturizing it to keep it supple. It does have a weird looking texture and can dry a little bit sticky, so is best used as relief for sunburn etc. rather than a moisturizer in my opinion. It's pretty cheap for a decent sized bottle too, so you can take it with you to the beach and not have to worry about losing expensive aloe cream!

I bought this while on holiday in Nelson... about 1000km from my stash of moisturisers at home & 10 months later am still glad I did. It was wonderful to apply after a bit too much sun, the whole family used it. Cool, refreshing without too much fragrance. Absorbed well and great to use during winter months too for dry skin all over. the cap has not gotten clogged up with dried moisturiser either.

I found that this was really helpful after being in the sun! Cooled my skin down immediately and helped with my sunburn. A lovely smell of fresh aloe Vera is a bonus. I also use this for other things such as shaving my face

This summer I went away camping with my friends. And thank god we had this lotion! We came back from the beach nursing our sunburns and this did the right trick. Putting this on burnt skin is very soothing and is a must-have for someone like me who is very prone to sunburn.

As an added bonus the fragrance is very appealing!
