Aloe vera Plant Gel

Personally I think that it has reduced the redness of my scars and has made my skin alot smoother and less irritated. Definetly worth a try.

I have oily skin with acne on my forehead, nose and chin. I have been using Aloe Vera gel twice a day, both morning and night for about a year now. I would wash my face, apply a witch hazel toner, aloe vera gel and a moisturizer (which is my sunscreen). I discontinued using it a few days ago because I noticed it hasn't had an effect on my acne and I was noticing that my face was actually getting worse when it should be getting better. Though it may be hard to believe but since I've stopped using it my face has actually been improving and that may be because I've started drinking lemon juice and applying it topically on my face, so check it out. I think the problem with this Aloe Vera gel is that as mentioned in other reviews, it's not completely natural and it says no where on the bottle that it is non-comedogenic so I think that is why I saw no improvement in my acne because now I have both excess oil and this processed gel clogging my pores. Though it may have worked for for others, I have had no success with it so I would not recommend. However since I've struggled with acne for many years, to anyone who is interested I am going to suggest doing the following: *Drinking Green Tea at least twice a day *Drinking a mixture of Lemon Juice and water (be careful when applying it to your face, it can be really drying and may sting) *Using Witch Hazel as a toner I have no doubt that all of the above have been saving my skin from a complete takeover by acne. So also check it out! They are all natural anyways with other health benefits, so why not?

It realy feels good for the skin & yes I've used it for shaving & its GREAT!!!!. A must buy product!>.<

Once it dries onto my skin, it feels so tight that it's hard for me to smile. I thought it would MOISTURIZE, but it's just like hair gel. It's like a super thin layer of plastic wrapped around my face. It's not bad, because my blemishes heal faster, and it keeps my skin protected. And it's not good, because it stings a little, and it makes my skin very tight.

I started using this Aloe Vera gel to hasten the healing of acne scars and blemishes, as well as to moisturize my face during the day and night. In the first week, I noticed that my skin was noticeably drier and flakier. My blemishes were even redder than before despite the cool soothing feeling I felt from applying the gel. After weeks of continued use, my skin worsened significantly. My acne would not heal as fast and my skin looked so parched. It is such a shame because I heard rave reviews about aloe vera for acne and face, and I was so sure that it would work on me. Unfortunately, I think those with dry/sensitive skin will find that this will cause more harm than benefits. This gel does not work for everyone.

I read the many reviews and decided to try it. The moisturizer I was using before made my skin oily. When I first tried the gel, it seemed to work, however, I noticed that when it dried, my face was tight. I continued using it for 3 weeks and ended up going back to my oily moisturizer. My skin was terribly dry and flaking. I started breaking out a bit more. I really hoped that it would of worked for me :(

I found that my face was less oil-slicked and flaky if I stopped stripping the oil from my face with the cetaphil gentle skin cleaser and then piling on heavy creams to gain back the moisture and end up clogging up my pores. I now use 99% aloe vera gelly from a natural market, bp 2.5%, light moisturizing sunscreen. Will be trying AHA+ at night instead of my current time intensive 3x week manual exfoliation with a textured sponge to see if I get better results with less stress to the skin.

I saw many people found that it caused them to break out more, and that is because you are supposed to wash it after about 15-30 minutes it's best if you put it on half an hour before you take a shower.

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.

I had tried EVERYTHING before this, I wish I'd known about this five years ago! After two weeks of using aloe my skin is 100% better than it was before- Hardly any red patches, scars have faded and no spots.
