Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel

Aloe leaf water (80 percent) and propolis extract (10 percent) do the main work — aloe soothes and hydrates while propolis helps calm blemish-prone skin — with cucumber, green tea, purslane, and allantoin backing them up. The texture is a light, transparent gel that absorbs fast and leaves no film. Use it morning or night after toner: alone as a lightweight moisturizer if your skin is oily, or under a cream if you need more. It also works as an extra layer over irritated patches. One real caution: propolis is a bee product, so skip this if you have a bee or bee-product allergy, and patch test if you're unsure.
