Aloe Vera is a miracle plant that needs no introduction. It has been widely used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese and Egyptians used it to treat burns, wounds and reduce fever too. Studies say Aloe Vera was a secret ingredient in Cleopatra’s daily regime and she used to apply it on her skin every day. Over the years, it has become a phenomenon of sorts and a rockstar in the beauty industry. If you head over to your neighborhood grocery store, you’ll find it available in every form – gels, pills, beverages and the likes. In fact, now it can be found in anything ranging from dishwashing detergent to yogurt. At some point we’ve all heard about its magic from our grandmothers, mothers, that-friend-who-knows-it-all-about-beauty and beauty experts.
So, why is it amazing for your skin? Some of the reasons are:
- It penetrates the tissue
- It encourages healing of the tissue
- It has antimicrobial properties
- It reduces inflammation
Nowadays, there are many cosmetic brands that are tapping into the wonders of Aloe and making it an essential ingredient in their products. There are many grades of Aloe Vera available in the market and each brand uses different ones. Lexli however uses organic pharmaceutical-grade aloe which is free from impurities.

I tried out their 30-Day Starter Kit which includes travel sized versions of:
- Aloe-Based Cleansing Lotion – 2 oz/60 ml
- Aloe-Based AloeGlyC Renewing Exfoliant – 0.5 oz/15 ml
- Aloe-Based Tone and Balance – 2 oz/60 ml
- Aloe-Based Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 – 0.5 oz/15 ml
- Aloe-Based Night Moisturizer – 0.5 oz/15 ml
It’s a wonderful way to try out products from the brand and see what works for you.
The product claims “The Lexli Starter Kit conveniently packages the four skin care steps together to keep your skin healthy and radiant on the go.
CLEANSING LOTION – Lexli’s Cleansing Lotion features a unique formula designed to unclog pores and remove impurities, leaving your skin soft, smooth and refreshed.
ALOEGLYC RENEWING EXFOLIANT – AloeGlyC combines pharmaceutical-grade aloe and glycolic acid to exfoliate and activate the natural production of collagen – the skin’s natural rejuvenation process.
TONE AND BALANCE – This gentle skin toner contains natural humectants that restore skin pH while hydrating, soothing and refreshing your skin.
NIGHT MOISTURIZER – Night moisturizer works overnight to preserve, replenish and restore skin’s natural moisture level while reviving its tension and firmness.
DAY MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 FOR NORMAL TO DRY SKIN – Day Moisturizer conditions and restores the skin while protecting it from environmental factors that cause premature aging, including UVA and UVB rays.”

MY EXPERIENCE WITH LEXLI 30 DAY STARTER KIT
I was a little lost at first looking at the package as there were no usage instructions on the pack. Thankfully they’ve included an instruction leaflet inside which does seem like too much of literature to go through. The kit has generous sized products which lasted me more than the claimed 30 days. The products have a very fresh fragrance which are reminiscent of male products (sort of that cologne fragrance but mild). That may work well for the brand as the products don’t have those typical feminine fragrances and they can pass off as unisex products.
My morning regimen used to include the Cleansing Lotion, Tone and Balance followed by the Day Moisturizer with SPF 15. For the night, the only things that changed were I used the AloeGlyC after the cleanser and before the toner and I finished it off with the Night Moisturizer.
The CLEANSING LOTION felt quite gentle on the skin and didn’t lather as much as a regular facewash would do (which is a good thing). My skin felt quite clean and fresh without being stripped off all the oils and drying it out in the process.
The TONE AND BALANCE felt a little sticky when I initially sprayed it on my face. However, it was fine in a few minutes and left my skin feeling rejuvenated and moisturized.
The ALOEGLYC RENEWING EXFOLIANT needs to be diluted with the moisturizer before applying it on your face. Thank God for that since it smelt horrible on its own (I’m not sure if this was from an old batch or just the product fragrance as such). The brand suggests using it only in the night on alternate days initially, gradually getting your skin adjusted and then using it both in the morning and night. I used it only in the night on alternate days and ended up having a bad breakout. However, that’s apparently normal as that’s what was mentioned on the instructions leaflet. If you have a breakout, it means the product is working! I discontinued usage as my sensitive skin couldn’t take it and I didn’t want to take chances with it smelling funky.
Both the DAY MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 and NIGHT MOISTURIZER were non-greasy and lightweight. They were absorbed by the skin quickly without leaving a sticky residue. My skin felt soft and supple after using them. During the day though you might have to reapply your sunscreen if you’re out for a longer duration.
Having used the products for over a month, I did notice the difference it made to the texture and clarity of my skin for the better.
THE GOOD
- Improved the overall texture of my skin
- Cleared up my skin
THE BAD
- Funky smell of AloeGlyC put me off
- AloeGlyC didn’t seem suitable for people with sensitive skin as it broke me out
- Packaging seems very pharmaceutical
- No clear usage instructions on the pack
- Ingredient list not present on the pack (its in the instructions leaflet) so you wouldn’t know at a quick glance as to what’s in the products
OVERALL VERDICT: 3.5 / 5

It is a good starter kit to try out for those who want to add glycolic acid in their routine.
I’m surprised with all the packaging details nowadays they didn’t have clear instructions.
I also hate the smell of anything that smells to medical.
Thanks for the honest review

It would have been nice if there were clear instructions.
While reading your review I was impressed but yes that smell even I don’t like…not yet tried but can try once for sure!!
Not everyone can handle the glycolic fragrance and sometimes that can make or break a product for one.
Great products for skin , it is better to experiment with reliable products rather than going for anything right
How you identify something as reliable? I have personally had bad reactions to big brand name products. So there isn’t a generalized rule. What works for one may not work for another person.
This sounds a perfect detoxification of skin in 30 days. True Aloe Vera is a wonder plant and this kit is perfect mix of science and nature. Would love to use and recommend this product.
Do give it a try and let us know your experience.
I totally loved the pictures and the detailing…this brand sounds quite promising….would love to try..:))…

The fragrance is not for everyone. But you wouldn’t know unless you give it a try.
Aloe is a wonder ingredient for our skin! This is a nice concept that we can use all skincare products with aloe vera as an ingredient… But the smell and that the aloeglyc isn’t suitable for sensitive skin is a turn off!
When you mix it with a moisturizer, the smell gets toned down, Mrinal. It just depends on how sensitive a nose you have! ? Also, everyone’s skin is different. You never know it might work for you. If interested, do try it out.
I love the products packaging it’s looking attractive, I have a love for aloe Era based products as it suits best my skin, would love to try this.
Let us know if you do try it out, Preety. Would love know your experience with the products.
Hey sure… I would love to try it.
So detailed n honest review ?? packaging looks attractive and you’ve provided all the information needed ?
Thank you, Anita.
this brand is new to me. I was searching something like these for me. will definitely check out these products
Do give it a try and let us know your experience.
Reading your review I may try this starter kit but not sure if it will suit my sensitive skin.
That’s why the 30 day kit if perfect to start with. You can try out all the products before committing to buying the full size.
Aloe Vera is no doubt a magic plant. It’s like a miracle cure for almost every health and beauty problem. The kit looks very nice. I would love to try it.
Do give it a try and let us know your experience.
Iove reading your honest reviews and also the way you described this detoxifying range is amazing.
Thank you, Namrata.
Thanks for this review! It sounds like this might be a pass for me. That smell would kill me.

Well, you could maybe skip the AloeGlyC and try out their other products just so that you don’t miss out on the goodness of Aloe. Also, they have a 90-day money back guarantee and you can always send it back if you don’t like it.
after reading your review and the price tag, i would rather skip it…
That’s a new name in the beauty industry. But knowing its cons, I’m not much interested to try.
