Guest KamsaHamnida Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Anybody used this stuff who could testify to how well it worked? It's usually used for bug bites, rashes, and sun burns. But people use it on their face to help with other stuff like acne and scars. Also helps with red or inflammed skin due to pimples. Same as with bug bites and rashes. Supposed to even out skin tone, too. It also tightens your skin making your pores less noticeable and less oily. Well, that's everything I heard it does. If this is all true or not, I don't know. I sure hope so since I just ordered a bottle online. Would like to hear other people's opinions on it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yamaki_LOVE Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 my friend is using it and she says that her pimples doesnt come out puss anymore and like if she puts it on the pimple about the next day it dissappears and for me i use the plant i guess it's the same thing and it's kind of fading my scars [ im barely using it ;] and my pinples aren't huge anymore EDIT: i use it ^ every night and in the morning wash my face..like in the morning my face would feel normal [like the aloe vera plant is not on there] and when i wash it off i feel the sticky thing of the plant washing off , hope im making sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KamsaHamnida Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I think the best "brand" is supposed to be just the pure aloe vera plant. Since it's fresh and contains no other weird chemicals. But if you're too lazy to cut the plant and stuff, Fruit of the Earth is probably the next best thing. It's supposed to be almost 100% pure aloe vera but not quite. Still contains some preservative and a few other chemicals that you can't pronounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nanshi Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I used to use FOTE aloe vera gel alone... but for some reason it left a sticky and slightly tight layer on my skin (it never made my skin feel "soft" like other people have said)... so on a whim, because I was fiddling around with my bottle a few nights ago, I decided to put it on OVER my usual moisturizer. Voila! Dried along with the moisturizer and sunk in brilliantly into my skin. Smooth as a baby's bum and all matte and glowy. Now, I just got over my period (finally! offtopic: doesn't it feel like your period always lasts FOREVER when you get it? or is it just me?) so I don't know if it was the craaazy hormones finally calming down and that made my skin feel so soft and clear up so well or the aloe vera gel, but I certainly love using it! And I don't really have much else to use it for anyways... so yeah, worked great for me. Not for acne though. didn't do anything for my acne (I still use trusty Neosporin for that) but made my skin smooth and helped refine my pores (which I need desperately!).

Guest alligatortears Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 i know a girl who puts aloe gell on her face religiously and she says that it "really helps" i'm not sure what she meant by that but she recommended all my girl friends to do it.

Guest crystal_clover Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 You may want to read about it in MakeupAlley. They've a number of reviews there, and you can get an idea of what others use the Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera for. http://makeupalley.com/product/showreview....Skincare_-_Body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joonieballoonie Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I like it - it doesn't seem to do much, but using in the long-term has some pretty nice benefits. I use an aloe vera gel from Lily of the Desert that I bought from Whole Foods called Aloe 90 or something like that. It's got vitamins A, C, and E added in, which is never bad, I think.

Guest oneday Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I mix this with Cetaphil for moisturization at night. My acne did not improve because of this, but it didnt get worse either. I dont think it minimize your pores. But, it works wonderfully as a hair gel. I put it in my hair for flyaways, and it just drys - no dandruff, no hard strands of hair, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
