Dry Skin? Aloe Vera Is the Hydration Powerhouse Your Routine Needs

When transitioning our skincare routines for summer, one ingredient tends to come to mind: Aloe Vera. This wonder succulent has long been famed for its irritation and redness-fighting abilities—its medicinal use dating back to Ancient Greece—and you’ve likely used it as a sunburn soother after a day spent at the beach. But beyond its skin-calming abilities, it’s also a powerful hydrator that's mild enough for sensitivity and strong enough to help combat intense dryness. And it’s super lightweight, at that.

Needless to say, this powerhouse plant is integral to many of our formulas, upping their moisture benefits without weighing them down. It’s the star of our new Aloe Vera Replenishing Gel Mask, a cooling and calming mask that leaves skin supple and bouncy, and it makes up 50% of our best-selling Aloe Vera Cleansing Gel, ensuring moisture is locked into the skin as the foaming formula gently clarifies. Our newly launched 10% Glycolic Acid + Aloe Vera Resurfacing Pads pair it with a potent combination of resurfacing acids to help replenish the skin post-exfoliation, and while lightweight on its own, it also plays a significant role in boosting the nourishing prowess of our richer products like the Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream and White Tea Antioxidant Mask. 

Whether your skin needs some serious soothing or simply craves more hydration, try incorporating one of our Aloe Vera formulas into your current routine for a complexion that’s calm, cool, and amply moisturized.
