its kind of hidden though... i had trouble finding it till i looked by the sun tan lotion :-D... the 100% gell (which is what i'd recomend over other lotions that only add aloe as an ingrediant) isnt located in the lotion/ skincare isle. and yea, its a cheapy. i've vowed to wait until im clear to use it for any redmarks i may want to disapear though, as dr. dans orders.

I actually don't use the 100% aloë vera gel, but I use Corium21 Aloë Vera Skin Healing Cream.
I'm from Belgium, so I have my dad buy me some whenever he goes to the States.
I fnid it the best thing for my skin and red marks. It's not drying, plus, it has not only aloë Vera in it, but also rosehip oil (vitamin C!), chamomille (lightning!),.... all sorts of good stuff.

here is their site: www.corium21.com

Dont worry, aloe doesnt make you oily... the opposite, if anything!

[isthatpoisonivy]

yeah ive been using banana boat since ive posted this and im FAR less oily. its amazing. never woulda thought that aloe would get rid of the oil better than acne products. i like the way it makes your skin feel after... nice and soft.

Has anyone broken out from Aloe Vera?

I wouldn't worry about oil... I have oily skin, and particularily in the winter, I found aloe somewhat drying.
