I have used aloe gel from a couple of brands but Patanjali aloe Vera gel is the best of them. When I rub and apply this gel on my skin then its feels very light and like water not at all like a cream. While I massage this on my face it gets sometime to get inside the skin. It gets completely absorbed in my skin and my skin feels very soft and shiny. But I also feel that this will not give too much mosterization to the dry skin. The gel creates a layer on your skin which save it from any direct harm. So its a very nice product for your skin.Go fot it its used for all skin types.
