Cons:
Makes skin very dry and bad looking. Doesn't do much for red marks.
I use this when I get the occasional pimple and when my pores are clogged. It works SO quickly...small pimples usually fade over night and big ones only take a few days. It's GREAT in that respect. But unfortunately it didn't help me with my red marks, which is what I originally purchased it for. Real bummer, but it works for active acne, so I can't complain too much. :)

Gives relief from sunburns, sebderm, redness
I find aloe vera is a calming solution for inflammation. If I burn from being outside in the sun too long I'll rub a dime sized portion onto the burn area which brings relief. The aloe also helps soothe any redness from inflammation and I like using natural products. I plan to buy a aloe vera plants so that I can start growing my own plant.

Good product
It's a good product...I'm somewhat confused by it though. It seems to be moisturizing and drying at the same time. I feel like it calms down the sore acne, but when it dries, it has a tightening effect. I'm not sure if it would be a strong enough moisturizer if used with BP. Also, it is hard to wash off. It is very thick and slimy when you put water on it to remove it.

Pros:
calming to the skin and a very well made aloe vera gel
Cons:
not that great as a moisturizer since it doesn't have a lasting quality. 10-15 mins after applying, my skin felt dry... not chapped or flaky, just dry and not moisturized.
good for calming the skin from irritation (sun burn, benzoyl peroxide, shaving, etc) but doesn't keep skin moisturized.

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
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.

Pros:
Doesn't clog pores, pores look smaller.
Very cheap. Skin tone appears more even in colour when I wake up. Fragrance Free. Absorbs quickly. Pump bottle. Cools the skin.
Cons:
Stings the eyes even if you don't put any around the eye area. Smell might take some getting used to.
CHEAP. Skin feels smoother, looks more even coloured. The Gel soothes inflamination caused by acne so they heal faster. Doesn't clog pores and sinks into skin fast with a cooling sensation. And again, it's extremely cheap! Makes the whole 5 min eye sting routine every night worthwhile. Can be used in conjunction with BP gel. I got this in Canada about $7.00CND for 500mL.

Pros:
Very inexpensive approach to maintaining skin.
Cons:
very drying if exessively used.
Those in Canada can find this in the tanning aisle @ Walmart. Also ask the pharmacist in grocery stores they will show you where to find it.

Pros:
Aloe has much the same genetic structure as humans, so it is extremely beneficial to the healing process of scars
It feels cooling and soothing
Very natural remedy that has been in use for hundreds of years
You can even have your own aloe plant as a source
Cons:
Makes skin feel tight (which feels bizarre)
May clog pores and cause blackheads
I really like using aloe on skin rashes, irritation, etc as it is extremely soothing. It helps cool the skin and encourages you not to scratch if you are having problems with itchiness. However, it does leave the skin feeling tight which in my opinion is a bad thing - its a weird feeling that is hard to accurately describe unless the other person you are describing it to has experienced it as well. It clogged my pores a bit, though, which wasn't helpful. I suppose you could use it as a spot treatment on scars - gently smoothing it onto the scar and moving your fingers circularly may be beneficial because the aloe would naturally help heal and the movement would generate some circulation which stimulates the skin cells to get movin'. However if you are rough you will cause more irriation. Bottom line is be careful.
