Aloe vera is soothing and healing when applied to red, irritated skin, and I have had good results with it in the past. It will do very little to cure or prevent your acne though, it will only speed healing.

I am about to experiment with a recipe of aloe, tea tree oil, and homemade infusion of echinacea. I'm still researching emollients so that my face can be more moisturized. I keep trying and trying products and I'm out of patience, so I'm going back to basics, back to the drawing board, and making my own through experimentation. Aloe seems like it will make a very good base for the recipe I'm forming.

About Fruit of the Earth specifically: I believe you should not trust it. Look at all the other ingredients, folks! Here, I'll list them: TRIETHANOLAMINE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, CARBOMER 940, TETRASODIUM EDTA, DMDM HYDANTOIN, DIAZOLIDINYL UREA. The absolute best way to use aloe is to grow it yourself and break off a leaf and squeeze out the fluid, but there are very good, trustworthy companies out there who make pure, organic, unadulterated aloe. You might find them in an organic grocery store's refrigerator. (In fact, I think that can often be a sign of a good product. When you have to store it in your fridge, it means it has less stuff in it.)

FOTE consistently gives me a rash. No aloe I've ever used before did that. It gives me a rash and makes my skin sting and flake and turn red. I can only guess that this is because of one or more of those 6 extra ingredients and/or the way they process it.

Give aloe a shot, but don't expect it to cure your acne. It's a great part of a multiple-element regimen though. Give it a shot, but buy a good brand. FOTE is crap. (And I won't even get into the creepy, unnecessary, nationalistic flag on the back.)

I´ve been using this product for over 20 years (since high school)and this is the Only product that I Must have in my household. I suffered from strong acne problems in high school and this FOTE Aloe Gel really improved my acne problems and other skin problems. I use it on every skin problems that my family have - cuts, rashes, etc. It really helps in scar prevention as well. My husband uses only this product as his after shave and facial cream (gel). This is the best product of Aloe Gel on the market.

I've been using aloe vera gel for 2 weeks, but I only just switched to this brand and already I feel like it is more effective than the last one I was using(trader joe's brand, which was 98%)

The nice thing about this product is that you can apply it as often as you want, whenever you feel like your face is oily or rough you can put on a coat of aloe vera gel and it will not break you out and it will help keep your skin moisturized and healthy.

You can apply too much though, if you put too much on then it will make your skin feel stiff and it will solidify into a sort of peel. I don't think it's harmful to use too much, but it's not necessary.

It's a great product and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a good moisturizer or a good red mark treatment. It even states on the package that it can be used for blemish control. Aloe is good stuff, truly a secret weapon in fighting acne.

I apply aloe vera right after I shave then take a shower. I drink about 3/5-3/4 gal water/day.

My skin did feel sort of tight for about 1 hour after using, but this is a gel, not a lotion. About 4 days after using this on a consistent basis, my acne was reducing of the rate of about 25% degression every day.

(Just a concept, not actually numbers, duh)
25% of 100 = 25 = 75% remaining
25% of 75 = 18.75 = 56.25% remaining

I only wash once a day unless I exercise so I don't damage my skin forcing my body to produce more sebum.

I take a shower and all this at night so that I can sleep, gain a protective layer of body oils which will in turn highly protect my skin more during the day from the elements.

I'm 19 so my acne is most likely disappearing partly on its own but this stuff really is much more than "useful".

Teenagers still get breakouts but this helps heal scars too so your body only has to send out for repairs on the acne itself.

Do your research and what-not on aloe vera gel.

This just wasnt very nice on my skin, I tried using it for about 3 weeks and it didnt make a difference as far as I could tell. I was going through a really bad breakout before I began using this and when I started using it I couldnt see any improvement, and well it was a pain to have on, It made my skin feel quite tight. Perhaps I applied to much, I only applied at night however and washed it off in the morning. My skin went back to its normal acne self rather than vengeful acne only after I started using dove soap and tea tree oil and stopped everything else. Now that my skin is somewhat back to normal from one of the worst breakouts of my life I will give this another shot but in small quantities and only on one part of my face... we will see how it goes this time.

Too drying for my acne. I now use it as a Hair Gel and nothing workse better than this. All the other Hairstyle products are loaded with chemicals and most of them say with Aloe Vera. Why not get the 100% gel? Well after using it my hair feels soft and i can style anyway i want after it hardens a bit for my hair and stays that way until i wash out. Really awesome stuff
