In a world where retinol reigns as the holy grail of skincare, an ancient star is quietly making a comeback with icy elegance – aloe vera. Gentle yet powerful, with a thousand-year herbal history, but now in a whole new – refreshingly icy guise. Its ice cubes are becoming a viral hit, and for good reason. It’s one of those DIY beauty tricks that isn’t just Instagram chic, but actually works. And yes – they offer many of the benefits we usually attribute to expensive retinols: even skin tone, lighten age spots, smooth wrinkles and deeply renew skin.
