Hello Everyone

Today I will be reviewing a new face product by Patanjali.The name of the product is Patanjali Saundarya Aloe vera gel.

The product claims that blend of Kesar and Chandan with aloe vera gel provides antioxidant and nourishment properties which make complexion free from roughness and dullness also help in controlling sunburn,tan dark spots and pigmentation.

Directions written on the tube is to use the gel at night as a night cream .

I have used this gel for almost a week now its makes the skin glow and it's useful in lightening the pimples or acne scars.
