| The herbal recovery gel works for me. I have extremely oily skin, so I don't need any other moisturizers on top of it. Feels great in the summer and winter! If you have dry skin, you probably need to put on night cream. |

| I've been using the herbal recovery gel for almost a month now and I really like it. I have pretty oily skin (esp. in t-zone) so I can get away with using it in lieu of moisturizer. FWIW, I'm in my mid 30's and don't have a lot of wrinkle worries yet. It does smell like roses, but not as strong as a rosewater spritz. I'd probably buy it again, but I'm *such* a product junkie and have *so* many things I want to try out, it's possible that something else will catch my eye. I guess if it was a HG or something then I wouldn't be so ambivalent. |

| Finally, I found somebody to write the review on this product. I have used 3 bottles of this and I think I will continue to use that. It is really easy to be absorbed and makes the skin soft and light. |

I've combination skin and I find the Herbal Recovery Gel works well for me in summer. I need to put another layer of lotion/cream on top during winter. I'm just about to finish my 2nd bottle and would definitely buy again  I use it as an eye gel too so the larger bottle (100ml) is more value for money. |

I quite like this product but ran across this interesting tidbit when I was on Saffron Rouge looking at the new Jurlique packaging...
Jurlique recently upgraded its packaging including changing its ingredient format to meet INCI standards (International Nomenclature of Cosmetics Ingredients). During this transition Jurlique informed Saffron Rouge that no ingredients in the products were changed. Because of this information, the ingredients were not re-evaluated to ensure they met our standards. After the launch of the new packaging we realized there were two new ingredients not previously listed on Jurlique’s packaging, including PG-Hydroxyethylcellulose Cocodimonium Chloride and various PEGs (listed below*). Jurlique explained that the formulas have not changed, but the labelling has, and that these ingredients were not properly noted on the previous packaging. Jurlique agreed with Saffron Rouge that these ingredients should be eliminated from the formulas, and has already started the process of doing so. Approximately 9-15 months from September 2007, Jurlique will re-release its entire product line without these ingredients. We have decided to yellow list™ these two ingredients for a limited period of 18 months. This will give Jurlique ample time to change these ingredients, while simultaneously giving those of our clients who love these select Jurlique items the opportunity to continue to enjoy them, should they choose to do so. Had we black-listed™ these ingredients, it would be our policy to remove the 28 affected Jurlique products from our site.
We see this solution as the most prudent path to help manufacturers to develop the purest products for our clients (including phasing out ingredients that are not as natural as they could be), and to help educate clients about what ingredients are less-than-green (yellow list™ ingredients) and those that should be avoided completely (black list™ ingredients), making their purchasing decisions as educated as possible. Though these ingredients are weaknesses, they are weaknesses found in otherwise amazing product formulations.
Additionally for those clients who have purchased one (or more) of Jurlique’s products that contain either of the above two yellow-listed™ ingredients between April 1st, 2007 and October 5th, 2007, and do not wish to keep them, Saffron Rouge will allow you to return the item(s) to us for a full refund less any respective shipping charges. If you wish to return a product, please call us at 1-866-FACE-CARE for a return authorization.
* PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate, PEG-20 Stearate & Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate.
I would think that it is very unlikely the omissions are accidental considering 28 products are affected, this one included.  While their presence wouldn't stop me from using a product, it is troubling. On the one hand, I think, good for them for finally coming clean and deciding to remove them, but on the other hand, it seems a bit deliberate and shady that they felt the need to hide them in the first place.  I wonder how many other organic and/or natural lines have misrepresented their ingredient listings by deciding not to list specific, not-so-natural ingredients...  |
Thanks for posting this Havana, I am doing my research on Jurlique and Dr. H now, and it's good to know this! |

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel sounds like it might have similar effects as St Ives Cucumber & Elastin Eye & Face Stress Gel that I get at the drugstore. Has anyone used both for comparison?

| It is a good moisture and also could be used as a serum, feels good. But I did not see anything magic when I used it. |

| I used to use this regularly in my massage treatments, and I have to say I did love it as it was very high in concentrated anti-oxidants and it seemed to absorb into everyone's skin who I put it on, but it was rather pricey but then again I suppose you get what you pay for. I used it myself quite a bit and haven't found anything else thats as good a quality yet.... but I really do like the Jurlique products. |

Arnica is a treatment cream, not a moisturiser as such. If you're after a nice moisturiser then the Calendula one is your choice out of the two. The Arnica cream is meant for bruises etc Btw, some swear by the Arnica cream as a cure for their dark eye circles.

Jurlique is a great brand-- that's what i want to say.
this Gel is good for me at summer, and feels much better than regular cream and lotion.
Besides, i used this Gel with Jurlique eyes Gel, they are perfect to match each other! |

No doubt Jurlique is a great brand, but this product just didn't work for me. I was quite allergic-- it made me all red, blotchy and bumpy. The scent also made me sneeze like crazy... I don't have many problems with Jurlique's other products, but this one was not meant for me  |

| i just tried this and its definitely a keeper! i live in hot humid singapore and this one is just enough moisture for me. i have oily skin by the way. i would recommend getting the 1oz bottle cos its so much cuter and so that the active ingredients in the bottle will stay fresher. |

Herbal Recovery Gel didn't work for me neither. It actually irritated my skin and caused me breakouts with red tiny bumps all over my face within 2 weeks. I was horrified as I rarely have any irritations or allergic reactions with any other products! ... Oh well, it's just a total waste of money for me! |
