I was curious about the soothing gel, and since I heard it's good to use with oil, I bought them together. However, I didn't end up using the oil much, so this review is mainly for the soothing gel. The soothing gel was really, really good. It made me realize 'Oh, this is what they mean by tackling deep dryness!' With other products, my skin feels moisturized when I touch it, and it's not dry inside, but it doesn't feel deeply hydrated. This soothing gel, though, made my skin feel truly moisturized from within. Also, after my trip to Vietnam, my skin was completely upset - almost like a chemical burn. Everything I applied stung, and my skin was irritated, but this gel didn't sting at all. It was amazing. I slathered it on generously every day and finally managed to calm my skin down.
As for the oil, I did occasionally mix it with the soothing gel when my skin felt extremely dry, but I wondered if it was really necessary to buy them together. While I've used creams with oil in them before, this was my first time using a pure oil product, so it felt unfamiliar and I didn't reach for it often. I think it's not an issue with the product itself, but rather my personal preference. There are comments about the scent being unpleasant, and well... it's not great, but it's not particularly strong or long-lasting. So those who aren't sensitive to scents might be okay with it. Oh, and I think the price is a bit on the high side.
