Aloe vera Plant Gel

I've been using aloe vera for at least 4 weeks now. And i have a moderate acne. It does calm and soothes the inflammation , but my acne is still in my face which is kinda sad. But i'm not saying that aloe vera cannot remove pimple. This is just my experience. Maybe it works for you? Who knows.

This is not a review as such, but I want to warn a LOT of people out there who think this product is pure aloe vera gel. IT IS NOT 100% ALOE VERA- it clearly says 100% GEL. sure the aloe vera they used might be pure & they HAD TO add other ingredients to stabilize & preserve the aloe-but thats the point- THERE ARE OTHER INGREDIENTS like :Triethanolamine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer 940, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Diazolidinyl Urea So please dont be under the misconception that this is 100% aloe a lot of other products state the actual % of aloe vera in it ...for example another leading brand states 97.4% aloe vera BUT FOTE doesnt state anywhere wht the exact percentage of aloe vera is...this is a bit suspicious to me, but use ur own discretion before using this product...am not saying that it is a bad product, it might still be good, I just read a review abt someone feeding their pets this stuff & that truly alarmed me, so I had to put this info out there...

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! :)))

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.

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.

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.

The balling up and rubbing off is really inconvenient, so I won't buy this one again unless I need it for first aid or burn treatment. I'm gonna use up most of what I have now, then try aloe vera juice instead for better absorption.

it helps with redness but don't expect it to treat your acne. for me, it takes A LOT of aloe to take the redness down,but in the end it works.

It's great on sunburns but DO NOT use it near your eyes. They wil sting and you look like you've been crying for hours. It DOES cool though, but with the eye-stinging I wouldn't use it again on my face. For my body it does work great.
