Cons:
none!
Aloe vera is SO inexpensive... you can't afford NOT to use it! I got a 20 oz. bottle with a pump for $8.00 and it has lasted more than a year. I also have a 2 oz. refillable bottle, found in the trial-size dollar bins at Target, that is perfect for travel. Best way to use: Mix aloe vera 50/50 with moisturizer on the back of your hand, then apply to clean skin. Do this after letting any topical treatment sink in, if/when you use one. Your skin will glow. After a few weeks of regular use you will probably notice that breakouts heal better and faster, and the leftover red marks don't stick around quite so long. Take your smooth skin out in public to celebrate!

Pros:
A great (and cheap) alternative to other moisturizers that some people experience leave their skin too "oily". Has healing properties that may help reduce redness and promote healing.
Cons:
Can make your skin feel a bit "tight" (some people may like this though). If apply too much, may notice some "white" / dryness seem to appear.
Like the purity of this "100%" product (even though it has a few preservatives - closest you'll find most likely to pure). Love that it provides an alternative to moisturizers that can make my (generally oily) skin feel and look too oily. SUGGESTION: Mix a drop or two of Jojoba oil in with it (in a small container w/ a Q-Tip) before applying. This will help avoid the "white" / dryness effect, and Jojoba oil is well-known to be great for acne-prone moisturizing (read more on this site). Best of luck to you all!

Pros:
Originally recommended by my doctor to minimize scarring after surgery. Applies easily, works as alcohol-free shaving gel and as a medium-hold hair gel.
Cons:
Because it only comes in economical sizes, I will have to figure out how to transfer some to a smaller container for air travel.
If you want an alcohol-free shaving or styling gel, this is the most economical solution I have found. Comes in 6 oz tube and 24 oz bottle (price is for the 24 oz).

Most effective acne treatment I have come across
Hi,
I was not content with the results using Epiduo. It made my skin dry and negatively affected my complexion. I have found Aloe vera gel to be the most effective acne treatment. I wash my face with dove bar soap and then apply aloe vera gel once my face has dried. It does not dry my skin and my complexion has greatly improved. If you purchase an aloe vera gel tube please check the ingredients. I think it should only have two to four ingredients including aloe vera gel.

Works wonders for the skin
I tried applying a Aloe vera mask ever night before bed and i let it sit overnight for my skin to absorb the benefits of the gel. Aloe vera holds antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and have helped reduce the redness and texture of my acne and it has also made my skin smoother and more hydrated. It can be used as a moisturizer and it helps with cuts and burns.

The cheap stuff is the good stuff
I got a gigantic tube of aloe vera gel for about $2. (It says it's 100% aloe gel, but has a few minor preservatives. I'm not too worried about it.) I have also used gel straight from my own potted aloe plant when my skin was really irritated. I use a tiny bit every day and it seems to help with moderate acne. I mean, it's not a cure-all. You won't get that baby's-butt-perfect skin that you get from slathering yourself in benzoyl peroxide. Still, it has been great for healing scabs and calming inflammation. Using too much will make me flakey--possibly due to the salicylic acid content? I'm not sure what the percentage is... I plan continue to using it morning and night because it helps and it's cheap! There might be other benefits long term as well:
Go plants!

How I cured my acne
I have had perfectly clear skin for the past 6 months using this product. I started having horrible hormonal acne breakouts following going off my pill (Diane 35) in November 2016. By June 2017 my face was a mess, huge cystic acne on my chin, jawline and neck. Things I tried that did NOT work: Clinique anti-blemish solutions regime, Clarisonic, benzoyl peroxide gel, Azalaic acid gel, Apple cider vinegar (drinking and as a toner), spearmint tea, (you can see I was starting to get desperate at this point), Estroblock, Cod liver oil... What finally and miraculously worked for me was this regime: Removing my makeup with organic witch hazel; Washing my face with Manuka honey (the first few weeks I'd leave it on as a mask for 10 minutes then wash it off, but now I just wash quickly in the shower); Moisturising with organic aloe Vera gel (which, by the way, is the best makeup primer I have ever used!). I'm absolutely so happy with my regime. It's simple and has worked SO WELL for me. For me personally, harsh and nasty chemicals may have even made my problem worse. Treating my skin with gentle natural products was the best call I ever made!!

The best acne treatment ever
I generally don't write reviews,but this my aloe vera gel and i wont skip it.
I was a victim of hormonal acne and it was worse,i went to a dermatologist and she prescribed clindamycin phosphatee gel and it did nothing,I tried for almost a year.
Then I tried fuller's earth and still nothing.
After lot of research,I started using aloe vera gel,for first 2-3 weeks no result,thought of leaving it,but waited for the tube to get over. And after 3 weeks,in a single night,my pimples shrinked,it didn't go away but shrank a lot,huge surprise,started using it continuously and made changes it lifestyle also(lot of water,healthy foods,exercise,avoiding oily foods,etc) and my pimples are almost gone,and when I was continuously using aloe vera gel,I got no pimples.
Truly a life saver.
I initially used a local brand which was good,then started using patanjali aloe vera gel. I have even used tea tree oil,but it wasn't that effective compared to aloe vera gel,it doesn't irritate the pimple,it is cooling and soothing and also does it's work.
Pros:
helps skin heal, incredibly inexpensive, won't clog pores or irritate skin
