Pros:

It works, It drys quickly, It doesn't smell, It is amazing

Cons:

None

I bought the Skin Gel from Aloe Life at Whole Foods. It is Certified Organic. I have been having all sorts of problems with acne and nothing was working. I finally started using this and it is like a miracle. A week ago I was wearing a baseball cap and trying to hide my face and now I have no need for a cap because my face is 95% better. All the acne is gone except for a some left over red spots. I put the gel on before bed and it drys within about a minute which means I can sleep with it on and it doesn't get all over my pillow. Then I easily wash it off in the morning. When it drys it sort of turns into a natural band-aid. I've had absolutly no problem with it clogging my pores. People are amazed at how fast my face improved. I am so glad I finally found something that works and is all natural. I am going to keep using this and see if all the redness will go away, I think it already is starting to fade.

Pros:

It works to smooth out my skin, especially areas that our partially dry (especially during winter months). It agrees with my skin perfectly, it doesn't cause any redness or irritation as other products may cause.

Cons:

Feels sticky for about 10 minutes after use, but then soaks into skin and feels fine and your skin feels smooth. So really, NO cons =)

This product is great, it reduces redness in my afflicted acne spots which makes me extremely satisfied as is. On top of this it, moisturizes skin, works as a gel, has NO SCENT, and it causes no irritation (for me at least). This product overall is fantastic and if you have acne or dry skin or whatever you are trying to get rid of, I see absolutely no reason not to get this product. It is affordable, safe and mostly all natural. I tried expensive treatments but they take a long time and can cause a LOT of irritation and redness! This stuff is golden, but nothing is perfect, it may cause some sort of problem seeing as to how everyone's skin reacts differently, I would say for it's price, it's at least worth a shot; right?

Pros:

Cools the skin, soothes redness quickly, lightly moisturizes and tones the skin a little bit and doesn't leave any greasy or shiny residue. Creates a barrier to protect the skin and it's also great to use after sunburn/sun exposure.

Cons:

Takes a while to absorb and can sting eyes if put too close.

I've been using this stuff on and off for a long time now. I don't use it daily, however a few times a week usually. This stuff comes in handy often. Don't expect this stuff to cure acne or scars. It will give most people a better overall appearance of the skin and help tone and moisturize but as for active inflamed acne, whiteheads or scars it's not really for that. It may however smooth the scars out, making them look a little better and make acne appear less red and inflamed but it won't actually "cure" it, although I've heard rare cases of people finding it useful for acne, it did not do that for me. Still though, this stuff protects the skin very well and heals irritated, damaged and dried skin. Oh, and the best time to use it is definitely after exfoliation of any kind.

Pros:

works very, very well with my oily skin. i recommend it 100%

Cons:

a little too dry at times, itches when you put it on your body (a moisturizer is still needed afterwards)

this stuff is awesome. i paid $5 for it at CVS. it's really simple and clean, doesn't make me feel like a ton of stuff is on my face. after the first couple days of use i felt my pimples go down a little bit, they were a lot less inflamed. since then i've started using it on my chest and back, where i have some hyperpigmentation spots from old acne. the aloe gel helps fade scars and some trouble spots. i've also started to use it to moisturize my arms and legs, i've noticed that my skin has become a lot smoother (especially the backs of my arms). it is a little gloopy but it dries fast and has absolutely no fragrance.

Wonderful for inflammation and healing acne marks I've picked
I use it every AM and PM as a moisturizer, before other products. Also, studies proved aloe vera increases the efficacy of retin-a. When used in conjunction with retin-a, your skin will clear up faster and be less inflamed/red.

What kind do you use?

hi, do you let the gel sit on your face then use retin-a without wiping it off?

I've been using this for a week so far, and it's really working for my marks. I like it a lot and will continue using it. :)

Pros:

Helps heal acne & scars.

Cons:

Caused me to breakout in small bumps & blackheads.

It helped to heal my larger breakouts & acne scars but it caused me to have small bumps & black heads. Exfoliation seems to help lessen these issues but my blackheads persisted until I switched out the gel for pure Aloe. Pure Aloe Vera from a plant doesn't seem to have the negative side effects.

Pros:

Inexpensive
reduces redness
speeds healing of blemishes

Cons:

I don't know how they can call this 100% pure Aloe vera, just take a look at the ingredients it contains a bunch of chemical preservatives

It works well to reduce redness and speed healing of zits, cuts, sunburn....etc. Id rather stick with an all natural Aloe product such as Aubrey Organics Pure Aloe Vera which contains only Aloe Vera, Grapfruit Seed extract and Vit-E or just buy an Aloe plant and get it straight from the leaves.

Pros:

Helped heal scars, decreased amount of blackheads, makes skin feel softer when when washed off, makes skin look healthier, lessened overall amount of zits, makes skin look less red.

Cons:

Stings eyes if it gets in of near them, sticky for the first 5 or so minutes, it doesn't soak into skin very well

My friend told me that aloe helped improve her skin, so i tried it. It doesn't completely treat acne but it definately helps make my skin look better. I recently went on vacation and stopped using it for a couple of days and within a few days of stopping, i had a lot of blackheads that i hadn't had while using aloe. I feel a lot more confident after using aloe on my skin (in combination with topical salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide) and seeing the results. My skin is a lot smoother now. I get less blackheads, which means i have less temptation to pop zits (because there are less of them) and therefore i have less red spots on my face. Aloe also heals my skin really fast if i happen to give into the temptation of sqeezing zits. It helps heal old acne scars too. My skin looks a lot healthier and pretty now. So, it may not totally treat acne but it does improve the general quality and apperance of skin.

Pros:

i know alot of people have been using the gell, but i decided to go all natural and i decided to buy the plant itself. It was great, the plant costs like at most $2 but it is worth it. Everyday i cut a little piece of and put the gell onn my face

Cons:

the plant is a little sharp

its GREAT... alot of my scars have vansished and my face just seems whiter, clearer, and wayy better. My acne has also slowed down alot more, and is is not red at all... I suggest you buy the plant from a grocery store because it is natural...
