Aloe Pura Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Natural, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Paraben and SLS Free, Cooling, Soothing, 200 ml

I'd heard aloe vera is good for skin problems, so when I had a hard-to-get-rid-of sore/dry place on my face I decided to give this a go.This product is totally natural and gentle, with a light smell and a gel consistency. It glides onto the skin easily and dries quickly, but I found if used over a larger area it pulls slightly on the skin when it does, perhaps like a face mask might do. That said, it isn't painful in the slightest and the skin can still be moved easily.I used it nightly and after only a few days found the sore/dry skin was shrinking. With continued use it disappeared completely and I have had no recurrence. I have used only the smallest amount and so far it doesn't make any difference to the appearance of the tube. I would imagine the 200ml tube would last for many months even if I was still using it now.The price represents great value and the tube holds plenty for regular use. From now on, any skin problems I might have will be treated with a good dollop of aloe vera. Excellent natural product, highly recommended.

I tried this aloe vera gel for the first time recently after reading on a natural beauty blog how good it is for acne. I have PCOS and have suffered with acne for about 12 years now (ie too long!!). My acne is less severe than it used to be but I still get very sore inflamed spots that are very painful, especially around my period. I've been using this product for around 2 weeks now (applying it morning and evening to spot prone areas) and can already see a huge difference in my skin. It is less inflamed, smoother, softer and my acne scars are beginning to fade. I wish I had known about this as a teenager as it is cheap, natural and doesn't have any nasty drying affects like some topical treatments you can buy/are prescribed.The odd reviews has mentioned that this gel irritated their eyes and I also find it can be a little stingy if applied on skin near the eye area (e.g uppercheeks). However, if I shut my eyes for a few seconds once I've applied the gel to skin near-ish my eyes, whatever the irritant is soon disappears and the gel doesn't affect my eyes one bit. If you have problematic skin I'd say definitely give this gel a try!

I suffer from a combination of acne prone skin and Rosacea which means that my skin is very sensitive and reacts to pretty much anything. I started using aloe vera gel because I heard it was good for redness and acne scaring. I've been using it on-off for about 6 months now and whilst I can't honestly say there's any difference to my scaring, it definitely helps with the redness.My only issue I find this slightly drying. It's soothing and cooling when applied to my skin but I find it leaves a barrier which can sometimes feel a bit tight. I solve this by adding 1 - 2 drops of Jojoba oil into the aloe vera gel and it makes a lovely soft moisturiser. It's honestly the only moisturiser I've used that doesn't aggravate my Rosacea and break me out. It's also brilliant for any emergency breakouts that happen. I apply it every 3 - 4 hours in that instance and my breakouts are gone within a day or two at the most.I also find coconut oil and argan oil good moisturisers as long as they're 100% organic as there's no messy ingredients in there to aggravate the redness. I'm aware there are some synthetics in this which I'm not too keen on (hence only 4 stars) however the main product is aloe vera and they don't seem to be having a detrimental effect. Honestly, if anyone's reading this and suffers with any of the issues I've mentioned, give it a go. I tried it on a whim and it's the best product I've used. Also came in very handy when I burnt my finger on my straighteners!

What else can I say? 99% Aloe Vera which is great and it’s so cheap! I bought this before going on my trip to Florida (I’m fair and knew even with shade and protection I could get burnt) and it really helped cool and calm my my skin when it was red and painful.Only negative is aloe leaves a small thin film on your skin when it dries, and then sort of sheds like snake skin, but as soon as you try and wash it off, it turns into the gel again, so you just need to make sure you wash it off thoroughly. For anyone who’s used an actual aloe Vera plant on a burn, they will know this is normal and always happens.

good quality product and very good price

This really does deserve five stars. I've had a rash on my neck for a month, and it is so tempting to scratch. I was scratching it so much the skin was raw. After buying this and using it for a few days, it cools, soothes, and takes away all the itching. I don't even touch the skin on the neck now, and it's getting a great change to heal and turn from hard rough skin back to normal.It seems very pure - there is no smell, except the natural plant smell of an aloe vera leaf, and the ingredients look like it is almost completely aloe vera, with just a few preservatives. It's very cooling, I've taken to putting it on my face some nights after a hard day, which feels very nice. I would reccommend this, especially if you have a rash, or problem skin. So much better than lotions.
