I bought this product since I needed some aloe vera gel and this was fairly cheap. Recently, I've also started using it as a primer/moisturiser. It's alright? Nothing fantastic, doesn't work that well as a primer..normal hydration. It is a bit sticky but it dries off fairly quickly. Don't apply too much, though, or it'll just stay like a tacky layer on top of your skin. I know aloe vera isn't supposed to sting, and in fact, a lot of reviewers use it to relieve stinging, but I could have sworn it stung when I applied it on something. Perhaps I was wrong or perhaps there was something else.

I started off using Pearly Shine (by Nivea too), but I'm totally converted to Strawberry. :) It smells absolutely divine, just the tartness of real strawberry, not some horrid artificial smell. Leaves my lips glossy and moisturised, though my boyfriend would probably still comment they're kinda oily. XD But hey, I'm sure he'd love the smell! :)

I used to have many many blackheads (actually, still do..) and this was a quick fix to feel better. I'd always see many spots of blackheads lifted on the strip - literally! Haha.

I use this religiously every day. It IS convenient to carry around in the tube, though I guess my jeans are a bit too tight to squish them in sometimes. (I've dropped it a time or two) XD Works great with moisturising lips, and the pearly shine is a good touch, though like another reviewer found, applying too much left me looking, well, too pearly/pale.

I use this with every shower -- it's gentle enough for that! The microbeads are small enough that they aren't harsh, and it leaves the skin with a nice refreshed feeling.

It seemed a bit harsh to me, but maybe that's because I tended to use this more than once a week. Still, it smells nice, and is pleasant enough to use.
