My Experience with this Product
As I said before, I was very much impressed about Just herbs and their claims. This frugel skin radiance gel comes in a tub and I loved its packaging very much, the tub looks like the some which princesses in ancient times used. It has golden colored top lid which makes it look so attractive. Hence the container is made of thick plastic and is firm, it becomes very travel friendly. The only thing that bothered me is that, I need to dip my fingers inside every time to take the gel out. This might be unhygienic so make sure to keep your hands clean before using the gel.



 To say about the consistency, its neither too thick and nor too thin. It is somewhat like the jellies we eat but still little softer than them. The colour is similar to that of orange juice which makes it very pleasant to eyes. I loved the overall texture and colour. Fragrance is not that sweet, because of it's no artificial perfume formula the fragrance was very natural. It doesn't hurt my nose but I am not yet sure about how sensitive noses feel.  It glides onto skin smoothly and easily, so no complaints about its texture and fragrance.


The very first time I applied it on my skin, it gave out a very cooling sensation calming down my skin. I guessed that this is going to leave a greasy feel behind but not at all, a perfect smooth finish it gives. Not glossy, Not matte, not dry, not moisturized, all it does is smoothed out my skin without any change. I felt very light and convenient soon as I applied this radiance get on my summer oily skin. I used it both at the mornings and nights, my skin felt visibly firmer after a week of usage. This skin gel suits oily skins best without leaving any greasiness and it also softens and firms skin with daily usage. The gel feels a bit sticky for 2 minutes after application, but completely dries off giving a smooth finish after that.

PROS
  1. Cooling sensation with every application. This calms down damaged or burnt skin very well.
  2. I experienced no side effects like breakouts or something.
  3. Leaves skin smooth and oil free. It gives a natural look, neither shiny nor matte.
  4. Perfect moisturizer for extremely oily skin. Do not get disappointed with the stickiness, it disappears in seconds.
  5. Firms and softens skin with regular usage. 
  6. I felt soft glow on my skin after regular usage.
  7. A very small quantity is enough for whole face, hence the quantity is good. Can't blame the price.
  8. Contains natural fruit extracts, yes! I felt the slight fruity smell.
  9. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
  10. Just herbs products are free from artificial perfumes, chemicals and preservatives.
  11. 100% Vegan and non tested on animals.
  12. Anti aging claim may be true because it firms skin. Great pick for 30+ people if you have oily skin.

CONS 
Sorry.. No cons I could find!

As they are new, they are available at very select outlets. Check their website for store locations and online availability here.

Nothing else I can mention as con. Of course, this radiance gel is not meant for dry skins but that cant be taken as a con because this product is specially formulated for oily skin and no such dry skin claims. You can try the other variants from this range, dry skins!

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this to extremely oily and oily skin types. Normals can pick this in summers and not for dry skins, try other variants from this range. Makes skin soft, firm and glow with regular use.

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Will I Repurchase?: Of course. This product is going to my HG list on summers! It cools down skin like anything, softens and firms.
