Not for me
I started using aloe vera right after washing my face morning and night in an attempt to go the more natural route with my face care routine. The gel was 100% pure aloe Vera and I had heard nothing but great things about it! However, shortly after I started using it my face began to breakout in smaller pimples (something that is common during the purging period). I stuck with it, but unfortunately it didn't pan out very well. I continued having breakouts caused by the aloe vera for the entire duration in which I used it (about a month and a half) before deciding it wasn't for me! I have extremely sensitive skin, oily in the summer and dry in the winter, and this just didn't do the job I wanted it to do for my acne.

Cons:
Leaves a weird thing
It worked well for me my acne is slowly clearing up and I apply it topically to big noticeable pimples

Pros:
appearance of wrinkles. Diazolidinyl urea- a preservative- is another potentially toxic ingredient, is an allergen to certain people. DMDM Hydantoid- a safer preservative- and Tocopheryl Acetate- closely related to Vitamin E- are the only favourable ingredients.
Ingredients aside, the gel feels very cold when initially placed upon skin. You will also find that the gel tends to create a hard layer which can be washed off. That layer can only be the remaining chemicals- it lacks any sour taste
Cons:
suggesting that the aloe vera has indeed sunk in.
To be specific, I have been using this product on a nightly basis for 4 months and have seen no results. The product's moisturizing effect is nowhere to be seen/felt, any beneficial qualities of the aloe vera within are also nowhere to be found.
The product is cheap and rightfully so- $20 for a value pack of which I haven't even used a quarter of. The price is perhaps the one redeeming quality of an otherwise unsatisfactory product.
Fruit of the Earth- Aloe Vera is a Texas-based product comprised of six ingredients, and does not specify the quantity of any. The Aloe content is debatable- pure aloe has a strong acidic taste. The lack of said taste in this product is the only thing suggestive towards the amount of Aloe Vera within.
Triethanolamine is apparently toxic and is the most likely candidate for the stinging effect I receive from placing this product too close to my eyes. Tetrasodium EDTA can apparently speed the

Pros:
Cheap
All Natural
Cons:
Burned my skin slightly
I started using this as an all over treatment at night hoping it would help my acne (Hormonal & whiteheads :P) but as I said above, it burned a bit ... nothing TOO unbearable and i felt that it was making me breakout a little more more. So I stopped using it as an all over treatment, but one day I had to extract a large pimple on my nose (after washing of course) and with a clean finger, dabbed a nice amount on the spot and IT REALLY DID HEAL IT! fast like overnight :))) ... so bottom line, I will use this if I ever have a bad breakout and it pops .... I THINK this Pure Aloe Vera gel definitely helps to heal the wound! :)))

Pros:
None
Cons:
Burned my eyes, didn't do anything to help my acne, sticky
I have had no positive results from using this product. I put it on my face and my eyes literally started tearing down my face. It burned my eyes terribly. It also has no effect against acne or sunburn :/

Best product you can buy at Walmart.
It soothes my sensitive skin and decreases redness. However, it doesn't say how much pure aloe vera it contains, and it contains chemicals that makes my eyes sting. I love this product, but pure aloe vera would probably be a hundred times better. I should probably give this four stars... but Aloe Vera is a miracle!

Pros:
reduced redness
moisturizes
good as "carrier oil"
Cons:
makes your face a little sticky and cold for a bit
a little goes a LONG way
It works. It's the ONLY thing that I have tried that didn't make things worse, that actually helped get rid of my scars and redness. And it moisturizes without clogging my pores, a huge plus. And I think it may be preventing future acne from forming or helping the acne I do have heal, because I haven't had any problems with acne since I started using it. But also of note is that I dab on my tea tree oil treatment beforehand as well then add some of this to moisturize accordingly. I found this specific gel in Costa Rica (I happened to be visiting) and wanted to give it a good review since I didn't find any generic aloe reviews. If it's important to anyone, here are the ingredients: freshly harvested organic aloe infusion and pup, organic botanical extracts, agar-agar (red seaweed gelatin), vegetable gylcerin, aromatic mix of tropical fruit essential oils, carbomer, grapefruit seed extract, and sodium benzoate (preservative)

Pros:
Cooling
Helps heal (a study found that aloe Vera helped to bind proteins together, resulting in faster healing)
Holds in moisture
No alcohol or fragrance
Reduces irritation and inflammation
Cost effective and large bottle
Cons:
Slightly sticky feeling on face
Has a few preservatives (salts) if that bothers your skin, was never a problem for me
Will help atleast little bit, make sure if you have dry skin to moistureize before you apply it as aloe doesn't moistureize; it just holds in moisture that is already there. People saying it caused scales and dry skin didn't realize that so it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

Pros:
Instant cooling feeling
Brightens complexion
Fragrance-free
Moisturizes
Can also be used as a hair gel
Cons:
If you apply it to closely to your eyes, you may experience a slight sting with watering. Nothing major though!
I started using FOTE Aloe Vera gel in February. Already my skin has begun to clear and my complexion is brighter. I'm a believer :D
