Pros:

-Reduces redness
-Non-irritating
-Great for acne-prone skin
-Cheap, but I had to buy it online

Cons:

-Seems to dry skin a bit, but I found that it may be because aloe is not really a moisturizer; it's made to hold moisture in. For me, it left skin dryish because there was no moisture to begin with.

Worth using for the reduction of redness. I like to use it after a little jojoba oil to seal in the moisture. :)

Pros:

May help with acne redness

Cons:

Potentially irritating ingredients (except for the aloe vera itself) - DMDM hydratonin and diazolidinyl urea

So I tried using this with my moisturizer to get rid of my red marks, but my face turned a bright red several minutes after applying this, and remained until I washed it off. I tried this again over the next few days and got the same result, even though I had also stopped using my topical medications. For those of you with very sensitive skin, be careful about using the gel, since the two ingredients mentioned above release formaldehyde, which is a potential skin irritant/allergen. Patch test under your chin or jawline before you apply it over your entire face.

Give it a try
Wanted to give this a good rating, ive decided to incorporate it into my skincare after noticing it manages my oily skin really well without over moisturising or undernoursihing it. I dunno if its a combination of taking zinc, vitamin a and probiotics as well birth control but rcently my skin has been pretty good, pimple here and there. most is hyperpigmentation. The aloe vera really does take the redness out and leaves the skin feeling pretty supple too. I'm going to continue using it to reverse some dehydration lines from using benzoyl and maybe ill do another review to update my progress!

good aloe vera
MUST have plant. Not only is it cute but its also healing. This medicinal plant is great and inexpensive. I have 2 small ones around the house. One in the kitchen and one on the porch. I recently accidentally burned myself while heating wax in the microwave and the plastic holding the wax just burst all over.....yikes.....I know. It was an excuriating pain but the aloe help soothed the pain. Its also great for sunburns, cuts, after facial waxing which I now heat in a wax warmer (lesson learned).

Can't decide whether aloe vera is actually the one that helped
This is my 4th day using aloe vera gel for acne. So everyday when I go to school,I pass by this organic shop and always see a medium sized aloe vera gel tub which ia overly priced. I always wanted to try commericial aloe vera gel brands. This is because I actually tried aloe vera gel from scratch and it didnt work cuz my face was itching as I have sensitive skin..So, this product by the name of P& L 100% aloe vera gel went in offer! I was so happy and quickly grabbed a tub..I have mild pimples and few acne scars. Sometimes, I get one or two major pimples.My pimples are all very small. After using aloe vera gel for 3 days, I feel my face is much more calmer and softer. And yay...No major pimples. Also, I did a few changes to my diet..Cuz research says eating healthily prevents pimples. Before, I used to eat very little carbs and stuff myself with fruits and veges. But nevertheless, My skin was breaking out still. Now, I got to know that my skin will break out if I dun have enough energy. So i started drinking horlicks and actually eating carbs. I know horlicks is full of sugar but It contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. And plus, Im trying to avoid spicy food. Whenever I eat extremely spicy food, my skin breaks out. Its very impossible to actually avoid spicy food cuz I'm from a very traditional indian family and eat indian food almost everyday.Therefore, I think my pimples got better cuz of aloe vera gel and also cuz of my changes to my diet. I can really decide which one helped more. Oh ya. I also dumped my zinc pills. I was taking zinc pills cuz I heard lots of good reviews about it. And I actually my skin got worst cuz of that. I didnt stop when it got worst cuz many people told that our skin will breakout very badly for the first month of taking zinc pills cuz our body is detoxifying all the toxins. And they told after that one month, our skin will get flawless! But didnt work at all.

Pros:

-cheap
-lightens scars (after long time use...)
- light

Cons:

- dries out face
- isn't exactly all natural

At first I was very excited to use this product - in the end, i face mixed results. though it has lightened my scars, it hasnt lightened them as much as i had hoped for... in addition to this, i noticed an increase of blackheads on my left cheek (which was originally clear, but now has black spots all over :-() though i am disappointed by its cons, it has made my skin much smoother and has toned out the areas a bit. I'd also recommend applying Benozyl Peroxide after the gel has settled... Adds an extra boost. Using this alone would be best for people facind light acne. For moderate, definitely use something along with it.

Pros:

cools redness down
reduces size of acne
does not irritate or cause breakout

Cons:

dries out after it is absorbed by skin

I use the gel from Lily of the desert company and it does not cause break out or irritate my skin at all. I put on a LOT of gel on top of emerging or big acne spot, and it seems to reduce redness in matter of a half day. But it does feel sticky, and it will leave a scab of dried gelly on top of skin later on. So I recommend using it at night before sleeping or using moisturizer on top of it after it dries out. It doesn't do anything to acne itself or hyperpigmentation. One trick to get better use of this is to cool alloe gel in refrigerator until it is ice cold, then use it on your acne. Works like charm.

Pros:

Fades acne scars within days, less oily, speeds up healing process of acne.

Cons:

Sticky, but that doesn't really bother me. So apart from that. NONE. NIL. :)

Well, I use it throughout the night. After washing my face with Loreal. I'll let it sink in my skin and wash it off the next morning. And it WORKS WONDERS! Really. My acne scars has faded and it looks so gorgeous now! Plus my skin is so sensitive, it reduces inflammation and redness on my skin. I occasionally get compliments for it! So yeahhh, I really think everybody with acne problems, like me should try this out. Seriously. It's very effective. But of course, everything takes time. So it should really start to clear up within 2 to 3 weeks of use. Well, it did work for me. And a lot of people so I think it's best if you try this out. You'll never know if it works or not. Nothing is impossible, remember that. And never keep trying! ;) Best of luck people!! xxx
