Pros -shrinks pores
-reduces acne
-natural glow
-leaves skin VERY VERY soft and smooth
-free for me (i have the aloe plant in my backyard)
Cons -irritates skin at first
Bottom line i really recommend this. not only for people with acne, but even for older people who want to prevent wrinkles. I squeeze the aloe juice on my mom's skin and her pores and wrinkles diminished over time. She even got a natural glow on her face!

I really love this because it is truly natural. Only most lotions and products we use, this is 100% natural. no matter what the department store products say, they will ALWAYS have artificial products in them. So, I highly recommend this!

Good luck~

Pros -soothing
-cools down inflamed skin
-natural
-very similar to sebum (your skin's natural oils)
-emollient properties (skin softener)
Cons -can feel sticky, especially certain brands (like the kind targeted for sunburns)
Bottom line Make sure you're using aloe in it's purest form. It does wonders for digestion if you drink 100% aloe juice (some people complain about the taste, but it heals inflamed digestive tracts which are a main contributor of acne). While it's not a good idea to pick or pull at your face, aloe vera is a very cooling option if you still do this.

Very good product to put your mind and skin at ease when everything feels hot and bothered.

Pros Moisturizes
Makes skin look even
Makes pores look smaller (while its on)
Cons Doesn't improve acne
Bottom line I use it as an all natural make up base. It makes my skin smooth and soft. Perfect before applying make up. I like it because its all natural and no chemical fillers to make me break out. I wouldn't use it solely to treat my acne or scars, but I'm sure it could help in the long run.

Pros Smells good
Feels good
Cheap
Multi-use
Cons A bit slimy and messy (but not unbearably so)
Bottom line Aloe Vera is an incredible plant. Ever since I have started using it, I have noticed that my skin is softer, the redness from pimples and zits are greatly reduced, and my face seems to have a nce little glow to it.

Aloe is also great for all types if burns (ie sunburns, chemical burns, heat burns etc.), scars that you want to disappear, and helps to speed the healing of various cuts and other skin injuries.

Go Aloe!!

Pros Moisturizing and Calming
Leaves skin soft
Reduces the size of pimples
Natural
Heals and calms sunburns
Acts real fast
Cons Leaves skin a little tight after you apply it
A little bit messy, but it's worth it
Bottom line Aloe vera its great for your skin. Actually, its great for almost everything, I apply it everyday before going to bed, and leave it overnight. It dramatically reduces the pimples and makes the whiteheads vanish completely. but be sure the plant you take it from is at least 2 years old, otherwise it will not do it's work as promised; also, use the thickest part of the leaf, which is where all the 'good stuff' is. You can perfectly use the rest of the leaf, of course.

For less than a dollar, I totally recommend it!

Pros excellent plant..
Cons none
Bottom line i bought it about a week ago from home depot. i use the gel every other day and leave it over night. i have noticed my skin to be a lot softer and glowing. even if you get a plant its like $5.00 and you can use that plant for around 2 weeks which is cheaper than a good cream. my skin is much healthier and natural looking with no chemicals at all....

Pros -You can eat it, rub it on your skin, or put it in your hair
-All natural
-Mild
Cons -Not as moisturizing as you might think
-A bit messy to handle
Bottom line I've been rubbing aloe on my skin after I wash my face for almost two months now. After a few trials I think I figured out the best way to use it. If you are using it as a moisturizer like me I recommend you use some lotion after you rub it on your face because its water contents seem to evaporate very quickly and this can dry out your skin. Dry skin = unhappy (or even angry) skin! Applying moisturizer seals in the aloe goodness in my opinion. Let the aloe dry first then apply a layer of lotion on top. This will make your skin glow! If you are suffering from acne and everything you use seems to irritate it, then try the aloe paired with non-comedogenic, allergy tested, dermatologist tested moisturizer. Don't let your skin go dry because of whatever topical treatment you are using. It will upset your skin! BTW the aloe does peel when you put lotion on your skin. You will have to remove them as it bunches on the surface.
