[REVIEW] Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel (English Version)

Aloe Vera based products are becoming a trend lately in Indonesia and there's so much brand with aloe vera gel products such as korean brands and even local products has their own aloe vera gel products.
As a beauty enthusiast, i've tried several aloe vera gel from various brand but sadly those common aloe vera gel irritates me. They contains alcohol and so much fragrance. My sensitive nose couldn't handle it and alcohol makes my dry skin suffer.



A few weeks ago i was chosen by Benton Cosmetics to be one of the testers for their newly launched products, Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel.
This product is dermatogically tested and recommended for skin that needs soothing from external stressors & UV rays, dry and tight skin that needs hydration, skin that needs fresh water-based product without oiliness, skin that lack suppleness because of excessive heat, skin with poor oil-water balance, and sensitive skin.
At the first glance, i thought this product is same like any other common soothing gel, but i was wrong. Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel is different. Do you want to know the difference? Let's dive in to the review~!




Benton Real Cool Soothing Gel cames with extra big packaging of 300ml jar. Aloe vera gel are well-known for multipurpose use so it usually came in big sizes. In the top, we could see product information written here. This product contains 93% of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract that are rich in polysaccharides and helps to hydrate and relieve dry skin. The gel also provides a cooling sensation without volatile alcohol by abundant hydration and nourishment of patented Soothing Cooler.
What is Soothing Cooler? It is a patented compound consisting of five botanical extract (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Ulmus Davidania Root Extract, Viola Mandshurica Flower Extract) that help lowers the temperature of skin, soothing, and managing suppleness of skin.
There's also a seal sticker to ensure the originality from Benton Cosmetics.
On the bottom of the jar is written some product information in English such as directions for use and ingredient list. The rest are written in Korean. There's also cruelty-free logo & the period after opening for this product is 6 months only.

Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (93%), 1,2-Hexanediol, Propanediol, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Viola Mandshurica Flower Extract, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Extract, Carbomer, Arginine, Sodium Phylate.

Based on Skincarisma Ingredient Analyzer, Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel has a great EWG Rating Level. This product doesn't contain alkohol, paraben, sulfate, and silicone. The soothing gel also categorized as EU-Allergen Free and Fungal Acne Safe. No artificial coloring, fragrance, PEG Surfactant, and any other controversial ingredients.
There's also no preservative that's why the PAO is very short.



Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel have a plastic separator to separate the product inside the jar, but there's no spatula for application. Just make sure you clean your hands before dipped your fingers inside & don't do skincare-sharing with other person to avoid bacterial contamination.



The texture is same like any other soothing gel, a light & watery gel that absorbs quickly. I like that this product is colorless and fragrance-free so it don't annoy my sensitive nose, different from other common soothing gel that has overwhelming artificial fragrance.
For me, the cooling sensation will come after some minutes since applied and it felt fresh without tingling sensation. It feels like water applied to my skin and very gentle.






From the picture above, it's a little bit hard to see the difference between my skin before and after the application of Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel. But you can see some dry patches on my jawline clears up and i feel my skin is more hydrated and supple.
After using this product for several times, i thought that Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel is suitable for any skin type. But for extra dry skin, you'll need to apply hydrating toner or essence before using this product as moisturizer.
There's many way to use this product and i often use this for sleeping mask. It hydrates my skin at night and leaving my face feel fresh and supple in the morning. To maximize the cooling effect, you could put this product into your fridge before using it.
I also use Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel for my body on a hot day. You can also use this for spot treatment, hair mask, sunburn, and puffy under-eye treatment. See the mini review video on Instagram for more information!

You can use other products of Benton Aloe series to maximize the effect. I'm curious of Aloe BHA Toner but i'm still in my pregnancy so i need to avoid chemical exfoliant.
There's also Aloe Hyaluron Cream, Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel, and Aloe Soothing Mask Pack to try!

This product costs 8.80 USD on StyleKorean website & this is really worth to buy because the size is big and price is reasonable.
So far, Benton Aloe Real Cool Soothing Gel is the best soothing gel i ever tried. How about you? Do you love using soothing gel on daily basis? Tell me in the comment section below!
