Pros:

It's natural, can be used for almost anything, and even tastes good (if you're hungry)

Cons:

It leaves a waxy and sticky feeling on the skin, but it fades away slowly

This stuff is great. I use it straight from the plant. If you can, go to a store that sells plants or get it from the greenhouse in your town/school and use it on your face (Cleopatra did). It will help calm inflammation, and along with a good wash and SPF, it's great. My acne is mild now (used Retin-A/Duac/minocin to clear up moderate acne) and it helps rid of zits and redness within a few days if I get them.

Pros:

Non-irritating, a little goes a long way, makes your skin feel refreshed, all natural healing. :)

Cons:

It made my skin feel a little tight while it was drying. Not a big deal, it goes away. When you use Aubrey Organics' you have to refrigerate it, which can be annoying when you travel.

I don't use the gel directly from the plant, but I buy Aubrey Organics Pure Aloe Vera. It comes in a 6oz bottle, which you refrigerate after opening. It is worth every penny because you don't have to use very much at all. I squirt a little on a cotton ball and gently rub all over my face at night. It didn't completely get rid of my acne by itself, I had to combine that with Aztec Healing Clay masks a few times a week. However, it speeds healing of existing acne and reduces redness. You can also mix this aloe in anything you want-- masks, creams, lotions, etc.

Pros:

easily accesabile, softened skin, available in my garden

Cons:

made me skin very ichy, can easily make a mess (i actually got into trouble for getting this stuff on my mum's couch) and it didnt not get rid of my zits.
i also broke out badly on my forehead.

everyone is different because reading these reviews, some people seemed to have found an elixer but it was not so great for me. it softened my skin but caused me to break out so i had to quit it. its all good.
