I've had dry skin since I was born 56 years ago, and I've tried everything (let me give you a tip - STOP using petroleum based commercial products from the drug store, they only block your pores). Most aloe vera feels nice going on but leaves my skin feeling gelatinous and sticky (it is from a cactus plan after all). NOT this one. Leaves my skin soft (relatively).Yes, there is a high water content. So much the better, I like to cover my legs and arms with this stuff. There are plenty of thicker versions out there is you want one - "Skin Gel" is the best I've found.4 stars is due to the damn top, it keeps breaking on me. Ideally this tube should sit upside down but when the top breaks all the liquid starts to drip out. Please fix this Alba Botanical.
