I am not talking about brands as a whole, but a product. I love gel face packs and own Green Leaf Pure Aloe Vera Gel from Brihans & Aloe and Cumucmber gel from Fabindia.. I have been using both foe over a month now …
Price
Brihans Green Leaf Pure Aloe Vera Skin Gel – 125g for Rs 80
fabindia Aloe & Cucumber Gel Pack – 100ml for Rs 225
Application
I like to keep the in refrigerator and apply as and when i want to. I generally use them thrice a week or daily as per my skin’s exposure to sun/pollution. I love the cooling sensation both of them give.
Fragrance
Brihans Gel smells fresh I love its fragrance where Fabindia Gel smells weird, reminds me of my Dad’s shaving cream. I don’t neither hate nor love it.
Composition
I have clicked pics, you can have a look 🙂
My Experience
I do not expected any of them to moisturize or add glow. I used them to see how well do they calm irritated skin, specially during current weather. I realized both of them did the same job, cooled and calmed skin + giving a nice pampered feel. I keep them on for 1/2 to 1 hour and wash off with water. However I did feel that after washing it off my skin feels supple.
I would like to tell you all that most of the times .. ok 80% I reach out to Brihans Gel… Due to fragrance and the fact that it doesn’t contain paraben (apparently)
Which one would I buy again
Obviously Brihans Gel.
Overall thoughts
I have my experiences with both the gels, these may or may not match with yours. However I have tried to put forward exactly what I experienced while using both of them.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that probably native plant originated in northern Africa. The species does not have any naturally occurring populations, although closely related aloes do occur in northern Africa.
