CUREα Aloe CICA Soothing Gel 150ml
Our pick

A classic ~89% aloe soothing gel with a humectant-and-botanical base, a familiar multi-use calmer that trades a fully clean panel for a fresh scent and light alcohol.

Why ours wins — A cheap 'ninety-nine percent aloe' gel, but aloe sits low in the list behind fragrance, dyes and a formaldehyde-releaser we avoid.

02

Light, non-sticky, multi-use

Our take

Classic aloe gels are a K-beauty staple, and this is a well-loved, high-aloe version that soothes and hydrates face and body with a light, cooling feel. It suits normal and combination skin wanting an everyday or after-sun calmer; because it carries ethanol, fragrance and several fragrant botanicals, very sensitive or reactive skin should patch test or choose a fragrance-free aloe. On soothing value and versatility it holds its own against other aloe gels, which is why it earns a place for calm, hydrated skin.

Worth knowing

  • Contains alcohol and fragranceEthanol and added Fragrance appear high in the formula, so alcohol- or fragrance-sensitive skin should be cautious.
  • Fragrant botanical extractsOregano, cinnamon, hinoki and rosemary extracts add scent and can sensitize very reactive skin.
