These attributes make it a perfect option not only to treat the skin after a mild sunburn, but also to use on a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aloe has the added benefits of being suitable for use on all skin types and won\u2019t irritate sensitive skin or weigh down oily or acne-prone skin. When paired with hyaluronic acid, aloe gives double the hydration benefits, says Dr. Zeichner.\u00a0\u201cWhile aloe offers direct hydration and protection, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge to pull in water to the outer skin layer to moisturize and plump the skin,\u201d he adds<\/p>\n<h2>What happened when I used Garnier&#8217;s aloe products every day<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve been using <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGarnier-SkinActive-Micellar-Cleansing-Hydrating%2Fdp%2FB07TB2MKJJ%2F%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx10814-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fgarnier-aloe%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fgarnier-aloe%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Garnier-SkinActive-Micellar-Cleansing-Hydrating\/dp\/B07TB2MKJJ\/\">Garnier Water Rose Micellar Cleansing Water<\/a> ($9) as part of my nighttime cleansing routine for years because the product works well at an excellent price point. After washing my face and applying the aloe\/hyaluronic acid micellar water with a cotton pad, it did a similarly great job of removing lingering impurities and leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed. The formula is very light and doesn\u2019t leave a greasy film left behind. I also tried using the micellar water on my neck and was surprised to see how much dirt it removed\u2014who knew?\u2014and have now added this step to my nightly skincare routine.<\/p>\n<p>The serum gel comes in a small pump dispenser and looks like a typical aloe gel\u2014thick with small floating bubbles\u2014but as promised, it\u2019s quite lightweight. My biggest thought after applying the gel at the end of a hot summer day was how <em>nice <\/em>it felt on my skin, as if a cool breeze had gently blown across my face and lingered there. The gel kept my skin\u2014including under my eyes\u2014soothed and hydrated throughout the day with none of the stickiness typical of many aloe-based body products. While I liked the lightweight texture of the product when wearing it alone (under SPF sunscreen if I went outside) during the day, I did prefer to layer it under thicker moisturizers for my face and eye area at night.<\/p>\n<p>While my shoulders and back will always beg for aloe after a day at the beach or pool, I\u2019m happy to discover aloe also can benefit my face all year round. And I&#8217;ll be putting it to work long after the summer is over.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
