Pros A great moisturizer that leaves no heavy residue. Great as a base for adding essential oils.
Cons Can be drying if you use too much.
Bottom line I buy the travel sized bottles and add to them to make my own moisturizer.

I add 10 drops of Tea Tree oil, five drops of lavender oil, and five drops of Solar Oil (you can use Jojoba if you don't have Solar Oil, though it's not as good). You can add anything else you want as well, like crushed aspirin or ACV. Adding the essential oils helps keep it from drying out your skin.

Pros Easy to apply, works quickly (within 1st few days of use), drys quickly, clears up blemishes quickly.
Cons None so far
Bottom line I've been using this product for only 4 days so far, but i've also been using it along with queene helens cocoa butter cream and after only 4 days, any redness that was on my forehead and inner part of my cheeks as well as outer parts is now 100% gone. i no longer have any facial redness period! after only 4 days of use.

i still have minor acne on my chin but with the cocoa butter and aloe vera gel, my acne has finally met its match. luckily even after nearly 5 years of acne, i have no SCARS at all, only existing acne which should dissapear within the next 2 weeks and hopefully never return.

i 100% recommend this product!

Pros absorbs fast, perfect base for makeup, erases scars, seems like my face is not as oily
Cons skin is a little tight at first but with my oily skin it soon feels normal. Don't use too much, you only need a little
Bottom line I've only used this product for a wk and it is amazing. The scars look like they are filling in and the redness is fading fast. Usually at this time of the month I break out horribly , But I only have 1 pimple this time and it is very small. My skin is looking and feeling smoother every day. Thanks to whoever figured this out because it works!

Pros Provides relief from inflamed acne (until the gel dries up anyway); works as foundation primer; makes face feel less oily
Cons Does not magically reduce appearance of acne scars; vapors tend to sting eyes; makes your skin feel tight; can make you look like you're peeling if you put too much on
Bottom line I honestly have not seen a difference in acne scars with this product.. if anything, I think it's just time itself that makes the scars lessen since it takes a LONG time to see results anyway (I mean, I've been using it for a year and see plenty of scarring). This is not a miracle gel (at least for me it's not), but for the price and the quantity of product you receive, it's worth a try.

Pros Reduces blind pimples QUICKLY, acne red marks are fading, heals acne, sometimes gives skin nice matte finish, great smell, CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE!!
Cons SLIGHT tight feeling, but not much. Sometimes feels like it adds oil (I have an oily face so idk)
Bottom line Only cost $4 for 24oz. Use with S.A. Doesn't work perfect, but pretty good and great for cost!! My face is much clearer and I LOVE IT!!

Pros Reduced redness a lot and made skin feel smooth. After using it for a few weeks my redness was less noticeable
Cons Seemed to really tighten and dry out my skin. Applying after washing caused flaking and dryness
Bottom line Possibly good for people with really oily skin... too drying for me. I loved the idea of using natural Aloe Vera but didn't quite cut it for me.

Bottom line Just started this product two days ago and already see improvement, I read about it on this site. I've tried, proactive, murad(made my skin so bad), BP, SA(gave me lots of bumps, I never had), nuetrogena, effaclar, and this has been the cheapest(I would pay anything for just clear skin again!) and most effective.I saw results after the first nigth aplication, I have no new cystics. It may be too early but so far so good! Its realy improves the texture of my skin, non-drying and non-oily :)I pray this works. I am 28 and just started breaking out 3 months ago, thats when I started all the products stated above :(! I hope the aloe vera gel keeps working...cross my fingures, then I found my cure!
p.s. I couldnt find fruit of the earth, so I got CVS brand, it has the same ingredients, and is working!

Pros Calms the skin.
Cons None
Bottom line I have been using this product for a few days. Can anyone tell me how long it will take before I see some real results? Has anyone been using this gel exclusively for acne scars? If so can you please tell me what the result was? Many thanks. This is defiantly the best acne site.

Pros There are so many pros to this product I don't even know where to begin. I got so many comments on how good my skin improved in just three days. My hair too! It's an awesome hair gel. You can use it for just about everything!
Cons The bottle is a little bit misleading. The product contains some other ingredients that are not labeled. Although, these ingredients I believe contribute to the positive effect of this gel.
Bottom line You should buy it. At $5.00 a bottle you can't go wrong. Don't be afraid of the other ingredients that are added, they are beneficial. All the people making a big hype have nothing better to do. You HAVE put worse things on your skin before AND there are worse chemicals in the air and water.

Pros I wish I would have found this product sooner. It works extremely well in reducing inflammation and drying up acne. I recommend using it along with a retinoid. Use it at nights, too shiny looking for morning use.
Cons can sting eyes at times.
Bottom line affordable and extremely easy to use.
