Aloe vera Plant Gel

Works good as a moisturizing serum but my skin normally needs more moisture added then this offers. After I wash my face I use aloe Vera then a light moisturizer on top like derma e purifying moisturizer.

A MUST buy

A lot of other people will try to get you to buy aloe vera in products but honestly having it straight off the leaf is the way to go cause it's not diluted and retains much more of it's healing properties. I started using it just for help on a really bad sunburn but after a few days the burn was completely gone and no peeling at all. I was amazed so I started using it on razor burn and acne around my nose and night. The results are astounding I recommend trying it 2-3 times a day for at least a few days before you shoot this one down

I was soooo excited trying this. People say it's moisturizing, defines curls, heals acne, soothes skin, etc. I bought this for a good price and tried it for all of those things. Here's my review for all of them: As a curl definer- It was OK...not that great. It dried out my hair and made so of it straight (?) I don't even know how that happened. As a shave gel- At first, this was AWESOME! No nicks, cuts, or anything. However, the next day, I noticed bumps :( This might have been from my razor, but not so sure. As a moisturizer- Disappointing. I heard it makes skin soft and hydrated, but not for me. It actually dried my skin out! Not to the point of flaking or anything, just tightness. It simply didn't do what a moisturizer should.. As a spot treatment- This was actually pretty good. When I apply a lot to a blemish or scar, it helps it go away a lot faster and reduces redness a little. *Bottom line* I wasn't really happy with this because it didn't do all the things aloe is said to do. I started thinking, though, that might be because of all of the additives. It says 100%...but just read the label. I'm going to use this after my cleanser but before my moisturizer--kind of like a toner. I'll keep using this as a spot treatment for blemishes and scars, but when this runs out, I'm buying the actual plant. :)

I started using aloe vera gel for sunburns this summer, then read online that it was also great for acne and dryness. I wanted to use it more as a moisturizer though since my acne is pretty much gone now, all i have left are these Cyst bumps on my cheeks, but i do still tend to break out every now and then. My acne products have made my skin face really dry, specially my cheeks, so i used this more as a moisturizer for my acne prone skin. I've been using it pretty consistently for about a month now and i have to say that i think it's just an okay product. For one, i don't notice a huge difference on my face after this product was absorbed into my skin. it leaves my face feeling tight and dry. It's not super moisturizing. i find i still have to apply a different moisturizer after. i would say that it does help a little bit. My face isn't as dry, but its dry enough where I still feel like I need to moisturize. I haven't noticed a difference in my acne scars either. Overall I feel like it's okay, but honestly i can do without it if i had to. I'll probably continue finish using this because it's not bad, it does help a little bit and i do like how it feels at 1st, but i just don't think that it makes a huge difference for me. So i don't know if i would repurchase it again, but i'll definitely finish using up my bottle. Overall it's not a bad product. i would say give this a try if you're looking for a super light moisturizer, it's not THAT bad. i'd recommend it if maybe you have super oily skin. It's worth a try, i just don't think that it makes a huge difference for me.

I have used it for years for burns, sunburns, dry skin, "intimate lubricant", cuts and insect bites, and I love it!

This product works to some extent. Personally, this gel helped to quickly heal popped blemishes, however it caused other blemishes to appear. If used solely on the spot itself, it can help reduce redness, but when I used it all over my face, I noticed an increase in acne that stopped once I stopped using it all over. I'm also not fond of the ingredients. If you google the other ingredients, you'll find that they can be EXTREMELY hazardous - they can cause tumors and skin irritation. Even if this product proves successful for some people, it is still dangerous. I feel that if you use a product that is more natural, like aloe vera straight from the plant or an organic product, like Lily of the Desert, it's a lot less likely to cause skin problems or the minor breakouts that may be associated with Fruit of the Earth.

Within a week my acne lessened! I use to use on the spot acne treatments, but it made the skin around the pimple dry and red, but aloe leaves my skin soft and smooth. Of course aloe doesn't cure acne, but it is the best treatment I have used. Aloe is also great for dry skin, scars, burns and hair gel. I love this product and recommend it to anyone.

I have been using this product for a few days. Can anyone tell me how long it will take before I see some real results? Has anyone been using this gel exclusively for acne scars? If so can you please tell me what the result was? Many thanks. This is defiantly the best acne site.

I spent the summer in new mexico, where it is very dry. I read about it being a good moisturizer and used it every day all summer after tazorac. I had no pimples for 6 weeks. Well, I should say that I had no pimples that stayed around. They would start to form red spots then promptly disappear. After coming back to the humid mid-west, I stopped aloe, and couldn't figure out why I was breaking out again (I had figured the taz was the reason for the clear-up). Then I checked my acne-diary (I recommend making one of these) and realized my skin turned beautiful a week after starting aloe. Sure enough, I am back on it, and there is hardly a new spot on my face in weeks. Its the only product I know of that works on pimples after they are in full red, painful mode already. It also works on cysts to prevent the red scars that last forever. I am on Lamictal for epilepsy and this is the first product to fully clear my skin. Pay the 7 dollars and save yourself alot of agony.
