Pros Cools down your face, makes pores smaller, when washed off makes skin softer.
Cons A little stingy for the first few minutes while putting it on
Didn't do much
Bottom line I find it something good to use if you feel that your skin is really irritated because after you put it on it just soothes it.
If it doesn't work on your face, you can always use it over burns or if you're irritated from being waxed.

Pros cheap, helps heal acne scabs or popped zits
Cons contains known cancer causing chemicals and skin irritants, does not prevent new acne, can actually cause minor breakouts
Bottom line This product works to some extent. Personally, this gel helped to quickly heal popped blemishes, however it caused other blemishes to appear. If used solely on the spot itself, it can help reduce redness, but when I used it all over my face, I noticed an increase in acne that stopped once I stopped using it all over.

I'm also not fond of the ingredients. If you google the other ingredients, you'll find that they can be EXTREMELY hazardous - they can cause tumors and skin irritation. Even if this product proves successful for some people, it is still dangerous.

I feel that if you use a product that is more natural, like aloe vera straight from the plant or an organic product, like Lily of the Desert, it's a lot less likely to cause skin problems or the minor breakouts that may be associated with Fruit of the Earth.

Pros It is cheap.
Cons It made my face soooooo much worse.
Bottom line I had been using an aloe plant for a more natural approach to clearing my face, and it worked wonders. My face was absolutely clear. I purchased this particular product because I figured it would provide the same results in a more convenient way than the plant. I can't figure out if I'm allergic to something in this gel or what, but I broke out in zits and itchy bumps all over my face. I looked scary! This product is 100% GEL, not 100% ALOE. Keep that in mind because there are lots of other ingredients in this product.

Pros Helps heal scabs- fades red spots - no smell - moisterizes
Cons caused more acne - sticky
Bottom line I used this for1 montth and although it fades acne red spots (mine are pretty light) it seemed to cause more flare ups. I was wondering what was going on and when I stopped using it for a week my skin improved. It does wonders on scabs! Speeds heling process up BIG tim.
I am not going to adivse people not to get the product because it's worth a shot. It could work and it may not work - depends on your skin type I suppose.
If you start breaking out after application though, exercise caution. What I did was use it on one side of my face and not the other to see if was causing breakouts.
Give it a shot!

Pros - It doesn't smell very bad
- Sooths and cools down skin
- You can use as often as you can
Cons - No major results for me
- It has a stinging, burning sensation for about 5 mins.
- You're face becomes a mould for about 30 minutes and can feel stretching out.
Bottom line Well I have a different one by "Dr. Organic" called Bioactive Skincare 100% Aloe Vera Gel and I haven't really seen any major results on the course of week.. but anything can happen

I don't have any acne but some acne scars from minor acne over the past and it said it treated scars and damaged skin so I thought I'd try it... doesn't seem to be doing a good deal though.

Pros Soothing
Soft
Easy to Obtain
Cons Sticky
A little smelly
Bottom line For best results, get the full plant itself, not the gel because although it claims to be clean, the gel actually contains harsh chemicals...Some even contain bleaches that die your skin gradually and can cause cancer
You can get the plant at your local Home Depot in the plant section

Pros Everything, this product helps clear breakouts and stops them from happening. It even helps speed the healing process of acne scars.
Cons Don't use the gel simply buy an aloe vera plant and strip away its nutrients inside of the skin.
Bottom line I had nasty acne 3 months ago it sprouted up like crazy. I've used everything from vitamin e oil to oxi wash to proactive. Nothing has worked as dramatically as this single plant. It takes about a week to see any dramatic changes. It'll take about a month to drastically see changes.

Try combining a bp face wash like proactive (I use proactive face wash). And after washing your face apply the aloe vera gel directly from the plant onto the face. I apply generously all over your cheeks, forehead etc. Do this twice a day one in the morning when you wake up and one at night while you're sleeping.

This amazing plant works great you can't beat organic natural plants.
