I’m not someone who is into gels much, in fact, to be honest, I never really indulged in many gels, so I decided to try out some gels recently and I came across a few. One of them was also the Jovees Apple Massage Gel which I got for myself because I had only come across lots of Aloe Vera gels but not one with apples in it so I decided to go for this one.Also its summers so it’s really good to use some or the other kind of gel – something that feels fresh and light because I feel like packing those heavy buttery creams up for winter.Sometimes when I decide to give myself a little home facial I end up scrubbing and massaging my face with a cream which I didn’t feel like doing since it was summers. Gel sounded so much better and I was also pretty happy with this purchase .let’s see how this fared for me.

My Experience with Jovees Apple Massage Gel
PACKAGING- I love the packaging of this gel. It’s a dark greenish tube, however, the gel inside is not all that green tinted. The tube is opaque – see-through enough to see the product inside. The tube packaging is hygienic too and the flip top closes securely.
TEXTURE AND CONSISTENCY- The texture of the gel is okayish – I can’t say it’s runny or too thick. However when it comes to massaging you can dilute it with a few drops of water in case you like runny gels. The color looks green in the tube so I’m sure some sort of color is used however once out of the tube the gel doesn’t look that colored especially if you see a small amount of it spread over your hands as you can see in the swatch.
FRAGRANCE – A bit hard to describe actually because it’s like a mixture of scents. I could smell some green apple with a hint of sour smell in it (the good kind) and some plant smell. However, it’s not really overbearing and also goes away after washing off. I like the sour green apple smell though.
EXPERIENCE – If I were to sum its performance up I could do that in two words really – HYDRATING AND SOFTENING!
I used this gel after my face wash routine and scrub so that the product was able to penetrate the skin fully and the gel was well absorbed. I advise you guys to do the same too.
The gel felt really cool and nice ( I had dumped the tube in the refrigerator you should try that too) and provided a nice jelly feeling as it wasn’t too runny perfect for massage if you ask me, however, I would have liked it more if it was a bit more solid in consistency. After 15 minutes of massaging I left the gel on for 5 more minutes and then wiped the entire thing off with a damp cloth.
I didn’t notice a vast difference all it did was moisturize my skin well and make it supple, but after the second use, I could feel that my skin was noticeably soft and felt smoother.
PLEASED WITH THE PERFORMANCE! YES, I AM!
Overall Performance of Jovees Apple Massage Gel
I mean what more can you expect?? sure it does not satisfy the claim of giving you fair skin or improving the texture but I think something like that needs years of good skin care so I don’t really expect that out from a massage gel.

- Reasonable price
- Value for money
- Great texture and good feel
- Great results just after 2 uses.
- Makes skin soft and supple

CONS-
- Has the presence of some color for sure

lovely images. amazing review Mallika.
Hydration property is satisfying.. Would go for this for a hydrating gel, BTW Aloe Vera gel can be an option for this one no??
I used to use this gel and I too kept it in the fridge 🙂
This gel felt thicker than normal aloe vera gel and obviously more nourishing and hydrating..
Loved the review and images…
