Pros:

Helps heal the skin and scars
Is all natural
Makes the skin smooth

Cons:

Smells nasty
Doesn't stop skin from breaking out

I used to cut off a leaf, squeese out some gel and apply it all over the face every evening (I'd use the same leaf next evening, until there's no more gel in it). In the beginning it improved the skin quite a lot, making it more healthy-looking and healing pimples, scabs (I used to pick a lot) and red marks. But it didn't stop my skin from breaking out and after a while I got tired of having this nasty smell on my face every night (a bit like sweat). I'd recommend using it as treatment for healing areas on your skin if you have a plant yourself. But I'm quite sure it doesn't stop pimples from forming - at least not on me.

Pros:

inexpensive
can easily purchase anywhere
calming smell

Cons:

sticky

I started using aloe vera gel on my face during summer time to relieve my sensitive sun burned skin. After my sunburned went away i found myself still using aloe vera because it had a cooling effect and gave my face a more even skin tone and texture. I would recommend using this product just a few times a week if you have an extremely dry or irritated area. It does not in any way clear breakouts or prevent acne but it helps soothe very irritated skin.

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:

Makes sink feel nice. But i found it does not help to reduce the pimples nor get ride of the pimples on your face. I have the plants and the natural gel as well. I used the plants it does not work. I use the gel from the container it does not work. I used a moisturizer of aloe vera it does not remove pimples nor breakouts. Helps smooth the sink though and good for skin. 3 years go it helped me with a cleanser. Only with a cleanser though. But not it seems not to help with my skin at all now.

It only smoothes the skin. I wish it did more then that. recommended if your looking for something to help smooth and not irritate your skin. If your lookinf for something to get ride of pimples or acne no. Maybe use it with a cleanser or spot on treatment.
