I haven't been using this aloe gel for too long but as far as I'm concerned it's better than the Nature Republic one. I know the Nature Republic Aloe gel is a bestseller and a beloved product by the korean skincare fans but personally I like the missha one more. The main difference for me is in the fact that it doesn't contain alcohol and I'm pretty particular about trying to avoid products that have alcohol in them because it tends to dry my skin. Also, running both products throught the cosdna site I found that the Missha Aloe soothing gel is safer in terms of its ingredients or at least thats what it looks like. Either way I prefer the missha over the nature republic one but as they say to each their own.
