TIPS : Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel - ASLI dan PALSU

5:07 AM

Halo people! Happy weekend semuanya. Hari ini, aku mau membagikan beauty tips untuk kalian semua. Oh ya, ini berhubungan sama Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel, hehe. Yang belum baca review Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel, bisa baca disini ya. Nah today, aku akan share cara membedakan Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel yang ASLI dan PALSU. Kalian tau kan, karena Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel ini sedang naik daun banget, sampai di counter pun kudu ngantri, maka ga banyak orang-orang diluar sana yang sampai tega buat Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel palsu. Huh, sebel ya. Kalau orang yang gak tau, bisa-bisa beli yang palsu, terus efeknya bisa berbahaya untuk kulit karena kita gatau itu orang-orang buat gel nya dari bahan apa. Lucky untuk kita yang official storenya udah ada di kota kita, kalau di kota yang belum ada counter resmi? Pasti belinya lewat online. Maka dari itu, sebelum beli, coba baca tips ini ya, siapa tau bermanfaat. So, yuk kita mulai aja ^^

1. Sticker


Honestly, kalau kasat mata, aku sendiri pun susah banget bedain yang mana yang asli. Dilihat dari sticker bagian atas, itu cetakan yang palsu udah mulus banget. Tulisan dan gambar sama persis. Yang aku bisa simpulkan dari segi stiker atasnya, bedanya kalau yang palsu agak buram dan bagian yang timbul itu tidak setimbul yang aslinya. Bisa kalian liat yang palsu gambar aloe veranya tidak sejernih dan sehijau yang asli ya.


Kelihatan kan bedanya, warna gambar aloe veranya beda ya hijaunya. 


Stiker bagian belakang juga kalau ga teliti, ga akan keliatan bedanya. Totally sama, tapi ada beberapa hal yang bisa kalian lihat bedanya dimana. Tulisan tanggal exp yang palsu tidak setebal yang asli.


Yang palsu ada logo panah sedangkan yang asli tidak ada. 


Kalian perhatikan logo yang atas juga ya. Yang asli itu kabur dan pecah banget gambarnya. Kalau yang asli jelas.

2. Jar


Dari jar, kalian bisa lihat perbedaan warna jar yang cukup signifikan. Tetep aja, kalau ga dibandingin gini, susah juga sih bedainnya. Kalau yang palsu warna jarnya hijau tua kayak daun gitu ya, kalau yang asli lebih ke hijau lumut. Kesamaanya, bagian belakang jar, sama-sama sudah ada tulisan timbul "NATURE REPUBLIC".


Keduanya sama ada plastik seal bening.

3. Bau

Dari segi bau, yang asli itu lebih strong banget baunya. I dunno itu dari alkohol atau emang dari aloe veranya. Kalau yang palsu, super soft, ada bau aloenya tapi not strong. Pokoknya beda banget deh baunya.

4. Tekstur


Keduanya sama-sama memiliki gelembung kecil. Tapi yang asli lebih banyak.


Wuhuu, ini beda banget yak. Teksturnya is totally different! Yang palsu bisa dilihat ya itu gel tapi kayak air banget, sedangkan yang asli itu gelnya kuat, lebih kental dan ga langsung cair di kulit.


Pas diblend, yang palsu langsung berubah seperti air ga ada teksturnya lagi, tapi resep ke kulit tu lama. Kalau yang asli, walau uda diblend tetep ada tekstur gelnya yang sticky ga langsung lumer. 

5. Harga

Guys, please jangan tertipu sama harga ya. Kalau harga asli di counter Nature Republic, Aloe Vera Gel mereka ini harganya IDR 98k. Kalau yang palsu itu pasti lebih murah untuk menarik pembeli. Tapi kan ga masuk akal kalau harganya cuman separo dari harga asli. Juga hati-hati, bisa jadi penjual Aloe Vera Gel palsu ini kasih harga sama atau di atas harga counter agar barangnya terlihat asli. Pokoknya intinya, kalau bisa sebelum beli online, kalian minta si seller untuk fotoin barang realnya. Jadi kalian bisa lihat tuh stikernya dan warna jarnya sama kayak asli atau tidak.

Yak, itu beberapa tips yang aku bisa kasih ke kalian supaya kalian tidak tertipu kalau beli Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel secara online. Semoga bermanfaat ya!

REVIEW : Nature Republic - Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

8:35 PM

Benefits of Aloe Vera
- Remove acne scars
- Brighten skin
- Remove blackheads
- Shrink the pores
- Smooth and moisturizing a dry face
- As a natural sunscreen
- Treat sunburn on the skin
- Make hair shiny
- Prevent hair loss
- Strengthen the hair roots
- Remove dandruff
AND MANY MORE!!!!!!!

Those are all the benefits of aloe vera and we all know, currently, most of skincare or cosmetics brands have already launched products with "aloe vera" ingredients. Yes, aloe vera is a magic ingredient because it can be used for hair, face, skin and even lips! And today, I wanna share my review about one and only Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel from Nature Republic! I know it's so late, but it's better than never, right? So lemme just start!


BRAND - Nature Republic


Nature Republic is a South Korean cosmetics brand. Created in 2009, Nature Republic is a cosmetics brand that utilizes natural ingredients for their products. This is the brand of naturalists that provides heath and enjoyment to the lives of customers through beauty energy discovered from the world's most pristine nature.

THE PACKAGING - Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel



The packaging is a plastic jar with green color. And the size of this jar is 300 ml. Yes, another jar. If you already read my review about Aloe Vera Gel from The SAEM (in case you haven't, read here), this kind of packaging is not travel-friendly because it's kinda huge! And it will be like, when will I make this jar empty, lol. From the front side, you can see it's written "92%" which means, the percentage of aloe vera extract is 92%. Well, lower than The SAEM. While at the back side, you can see the benefits, how to use and also the ingredients. 


Same as The SAEM, when you open the jar, you will see an inner clear seal. I guess this is to prevent the gel from drying out and also for a more hygienic reason. 

INGREDIENTS: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (92%), Alcohol, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, Polyglutamic Acid, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Extract, Melissa Officinalis Extract, Carbomer, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Water, Parfum, Disodium EDTA.

Nature Republic has claimed that this gel is free paraben and free animal ingredients. But, here comes the cons of this gel. ALCOHOL. Hmm, many people are afraid because they assume alcohol will make the skin dry. I guess alcohol is used as a solvent. And I really don't mind, as long as the alcohol is still in a reasonable dosage.

TEXTURE: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel


The texture is a gel with clear color. And there are some bubbles inside the gel. The gel is lightweight, non-sticky (but more sticky than The SAEM), and easy to absorb to the skin. But the scent is kinda strong, I'm not sure whether it's caused by alcohol or other ingredients, but I still can handle the scent (maybe some people can't). 



BENEFITS: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
They claim that their aloe vera gel has benefits for:
- Skin firming and moisturizing effect  
- Soothing and moisturizing effect
-Makes skin healthy

HOW TO USE: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Gently massage and moisturize your entire body.

Silky Smooth Hair Treatment

REVIEW: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

After using this gel, this is what I felt!

+ Relax my skin
+ Love their cool sensation
+ Worth the price (IDR 98K at the counter)
+ It absorbs fast
+ Moisturize my skin
+ I even use it as hair mask sometimes

- Not travel-friendy
- No spatula inside
- Kinda sticky ( i prefer the stickiness level of The SAEM)
- Strong scent
- So many fake products! (I will give you some clues to know which one the original and fake, stay tuned for my next post!)

So that's all for me, hope you enjoy my review!
