We really liked the aloe vera gel from Hairfluencer in our test. It consists of 100% pure leaf juice from the aloe vera plant and is made without extracts or powder. Alcohol, concentrates, powder or other impurities have not been added to the gel. It is produced using innovative cold extraction and specially developed presses to obtain the purest possible juice that contains all the important nutrients. Aloe vera has the ability to bind moisture in the skin.
Aloe vera gel is particularly suitable for post-treatment after hair transplants, as it has anti-inflammatory properties and stimulates collagen production, which in turn promotes wound healing and cell regeneration.
Aloe vera gel also has an antibacterial effect and can therefore be used for skin problems such as spots, acne, abscesses, eczema, neurodermatitis, herpes and psoriasis. It has an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, relieves itching and prevents further infections.
The product contains high-quality panthenol, which has an anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect and is suitable for both the face and body. It is pressed directly in the production area in Cádiz (Spain) and packaged in a dark bottle of either 500 ml or 250 ml. The gel is not watery, but has a good consistency. In summary, the aloe vera gel offers several good reasons: high-quality production, good consistency, no parabens, no alcohol, no fragrances and with real panthenol.
