Hello beauties! How are you all? I hope you all are enjoying the changing weather. In today’s post I will review Indulgeo Aqua Gold Gel.
BRAND CLAIMS
The Indulgeo Essentials Aqua gold Gel brightens, hydrates & balances the skin. This assuasive concoction, infused with 24K gold flakes, uses the finest natural ingredients, proffering a refreshing surge of cooling hydration. With superfoods for your skin, this gel quickly sinks into the skin, making it soft & supple upon application. Aloe Vera, Cucumber & Green Apple are the power trio- hydrating, soothing & calming even the most sensitive of skins with added astringent benefits. Papaya & Licorice are powerful skin brightening agents that help fix uneven skin tones, pigmentation, discoloration & age spots. Papain, a natural exfoliating enzyme in papaya, also helps clear pores.
This gel also has Squalane, whose molecular structure is so close to the skin’s own, it penetrates deep into the pores where it targets your skin concerns at a cellular level & also balances the oil level of the skin. Sea Buckthorn promotes the overall health of the skin by boosting elasticity, hydration and inflammation, as well as fighting acne-causing bacteria. Ashwagandha & Vitamin E’s potent antioxidant properties nourish the skin & help protect the skin against free UV & radical damage and also slows down the ageing process.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I was eyeing this aqua gel since the time they launched it, and finally I tried it and placed my order during a sale on their website. It comes in a beautiful cardboard packaging which is steady and can be reused. Gel comes in a cylindrical plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. I really love how beautiful this gel looks. I purchased it to use it as a moisturiser and it performs well for that purpose. It just gives the right amount of hydration.
Do not leave my face sticky or oily. It sinks in fast into the skin. I don’t enjoy moisturising products which give me a tacky feel afterwards. However, I can’t say how well it will perform for people with acne prone skin. I have never tried it as a spot treatment. It sits well under makeup, acts as a primer. I will suggest waiting for a few minutes before applying makeup so that makeup does not move.
PROS
- Gives the right amount of hydration.
- Leaves no greasy feel.
- Does not feel tacky on the skin.
- Can be used as a makeup primer.
- Absorbs instantly into the skin.
CONS
Less shelf life (3 months)
WILL I RECOMMENT
I will definitely recommend it to people with a combination to oily skin.
WILL I REPURCHASE
Yes, after finishing my current stash.
Lovely shots Savu. This gel is in my wishlist, I wish they had long shelf life.
