Pros:

more effective than FOTH aloe gel.
getting the aloe right from the source which is the purest form!

Cons:

can be hard to find. "goopy." have to buy a new leaf every 2 weeks, and cant wear out (it flakes a bit when dry).

this works better than the gel, i still use the gel, but use the plant at night and have seen more effective results. aloe is just all around great!

Pros:

Cools skin
Reduces redness
Makes pores smaller
Natural (no chemicals)
Reduces hyperpigmentation (veryyy slowly though)

Cons:

Slow to get rid of acne/hyperpigmentation

Natural. I have tried many medications and have stopped all of them recently and all for the better. My body and face feel much better since using natural products. One of them is aloe vera gel. It may not work miraculously, but realistically speaking no acne treatment does. Aloe vera cools the face, seeps into the skin and helps heal the scars quickly. It gets rid of redness. My routine is to wash the face twice a day (I use purpose and at least 2-3 days out of the week I use salt water) I apply witch hazel and rose water, then the aloe vera gel and then use argan oil as a moisturizer. So far it's made my face feel clean and I have had very little breakouts since this routine.

Pros:

Gets Rid of Red Marks
Helps with Current Acne
Moisturizes!! Some people think it doesn't moisturize because their skin is tight after using it but that doesn't mean it's drying your skin out.

Cons:

Um i guess it's a hassle to freeze the leaf that i cut off the plant (to keep it fresh and keep it working) and let it thaw out for 2 hours before I use it again. But who cares.

Wowwww. helped my skin so much! Salicylic wash and Alpha Hydrox BHA Souffle made my skin red and irritated but it was helping my acne and my red marks but I needed something to help soothe those chemicals on my face and this organic natural substance did the trick!! Bought it at Lowes for 4 bucks

Pros:

Smells good, cheap (only about $4 for a huge bottle of Banana Boat aloe), good for sensitive skin/ not harsh

Cons:

some people might not like the slightly sticky texture on their face?
The only thing I wondered about is whether or not it's naturally non-comedogenic...I wonder if it is or not. If so, that could be an issue.

I had used this a while ago on my face for about a week straight and my mom had complimented on how good my skin was looking lately (I have an acne problem, so she likes to let me know the condition lol). I stopped using it regularly and I had issues with my skin again. I thought back on what I was doing when she had said that and realized I had been using aloe vera. I decided just recently to start using it again and I'm pretty excited to see the results. It helps with redness, which my skin is really light and has a tendency to show small blemished easily due to the color difference. I like aloe vera. You should try it :)

Pros:

awesome!! so healthy for your skin, it works as an astringent and dries your skin a bit but unlike other products you can't over do it with this stuff....it is a magic plant, honestly the best healer in the world...even if it doesnt work on your acne

Cons:

it's good to have around for cuts, scrapes, burns....i grow a plant at home and just break it off and slather it on, i love it!!!! you can buy a plant for about 6 bucks so its def. affordable!

even if it doesnt help your acne its awesome for your skin and heals it.

Pros:

Made my skin feel clean, soft, and reduce redness on pimples.

Cons:

none

I have moderate acne for at least four months know. And so i have my graduation coming in some weeks and i dont want to have pimples and walk around during grad. So my father told to use Aloe Vera that it will make my acne less noticable. At first i would not believe it. So i put some Aloe Vera goo at night and my gosh it does work i can totally see the difference the next day!

Pros:

Had severe cystic acne. Had many scars and red blotches all over my face and to top that off I had oily skin gone mad! Nothing seemed to work until I used aloe vera. OMG! the thing works! My face is not as red, less oily,& feels CLEAN 4 the 1st time!

Cons:

Makes face feel sticky immediately after putting it on, but that goes away after it dries on yr face. Makes face feel tight after applying.Feels refreshing though.

I HAD severe acne(cystic) in which created many scars (pitted)-absolutely hate it!. It affected my confidence level down to 1 it seemed! I tried just about everything I could possibly imagine! Along w/new Acnefree severe skin treatment fr walmrt, I used aloe gel to heal redness and scars. Also used cider vinager to kill bacteria (really helps) and used homemade exfoliant (baking soda-not baking powder) to shed off old skin to treat my skin. I went all out. I also used a clay mask for oily skin (biore-) 3 times/wk to reduce oil. I had to used tons of daily regiments just for the stupid sh*** to jump off my face! I also take Vitamin B5 / Pantothenic Acid daily. The daily regiments worked. I had to do some major research! The bottom line is Aloe vera gel is helping my scars become less red and the healing process of old acne breakouts are going away! My poors are less visible as well, the aloe tightens my skin! it sounds like a lot but it cured my severe acne. Good luck!!!! I'm happy!

Pros:

It shrunk my cysts and made them less sensitive. It made my skin less red and shrunk my big nose blackheads, all in one night! I will definitely use this again, every night. I used pure aloe vera and put the juice on over night.

Cons:

Its sticky so you have to wash your face to get it off in the morning.

It works! Just buy a plant, you won't waste your money!

Pros:

smooths skin, fades red scars, evens out skin tone, heals pimples faster

Cons:

initial purge may occur because aloe clears the skin from within

I started using fresh aloe from the plant 4 weeks back. I apply it 4-5 times in a day and rub it in gently. Your skin does purge initally and my skin was bad so the purging took almost 3-4 weeks. It is beginning to get better now. Forehead and chin are clear. only cheeks are a little inflamed and red but that is slowly fading.
