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:

Made the skin feel soft

Cons:

Ineffective

After suffering from acne for many years, my mother told me to just try aloe vera. I have been rubbing pure aloe vera plant every night and see no difference in my skin. My acne and scars are still there and my skin still looks the same!

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:

it makes my skin super smoooth, when i wake up in the morning my face is glowing, it lightens the uneven skin tones on my face

Cons:

after a while when i put it on it starts to dry out my face BADLY.

i dont know why it dries out my face i've read a whole lot of reviews and none of them said anything about your face becoming dry[it feels like i have a clay mask on]. keep in mind that i use the actual aloe plant that grows in my backyard. if anyone reads this pleaseee help me because i want to know if i am doing something wrong or if this is normal??? but other than that i LOVE using aloe!!!

Pros:

Dried up my oily skin, helped to heal the 'popped' zits & minimize the cysts

Cons:

didn't prevent me from getting new pimples

A great way to keep your skin from getting oily. I use it as a mattifier. I have several of the plants in my yard that I pick off off, so the price is nothing!

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:

Saw a reduction in redness and size of pimples within 1-2 days!

Cons:

NONE

I used to break out a little bit on my forehead and I decided to use Proactiv. It actually made a skin clear but once I stopped the regimen, my face was literally covered in pimples. It got real bad real fast! I tried chinese herbs, Differin gel, and antibiotics. But they didn't work, so I decided to give nature a shot. And the aloe works wonders! I have been putting aloe on my face every night and my face is actually clearing up! Its even healing stubborn acne! I recommend it to everyone!! IT WORKS, GIVE IT A TRY!
