It burned my face!

I have used this product before on portions of my face to help with dry spots and never had any issues. Today I used it on my entire face to help with the dryness I have from winter. My face is now as red as a tomato and you can the line between my unburned skin and where I applied this product. It also stings to touch my face and feels as though I have a bad sunburn. Tomorrow I have an important meeting and I can only hope that it will be less red or makeup will cover it. Save yourself the pain and avoid this product Edit: I just compared the ingredients to the ingredients of the bottle they show in the picture and they are completely different. I bought this product because it was advertised with ingredients I thought were safe. I would have never bought this product if I knew the real ingredients of it

Disappointed

I puchased this product to use as a light moisturizer and healing agent under my makeup for my acne prone skin. I had been using Lily of the Desert, but I was enticed by the idea of added vitamins in the AloeLife product. I let it sit on my skin to absorb for about ten minutes, but unlike other aloe gels/juices I have used, it didn't fully absorb and created a strange layer of tan peeling flakes on my face. When I tried to use a cosmetic sponge to put foundation on over top of it, it dissolved into a gooey mess. I thought maybe this was a fluke occurrence, so I tried again, this time adding moisturizer to see if it made a difference. Nope...still a gooey tan mess. I'm sure that this is an excellent product for burns and wounds (and I will save the 8 oz bottle I purchased for that purpose), but it didn't work as a moisturizer for facial skin. For now, I will go back to using the clear Lily of the Desert 99% Pure Aloe Vera Gel. That product absorbs completely into the skin with no funky layer left over

FANTASTIC, face lift in bottle!

This aloe gel is awesome, use it as an aftershave or for a moisturizer base before applying a longer term face care product with sun screen. I just cannot say enough good about this gel, it goes on silky smooth, dries quick and I am serious it literally is like a face lift in a bottle. My mother bought a bottle after hearing me brag about it and she concurs and she said it makes her make-up go on so much easier and spreads evenly while using less

This is my moisturizer!

Why is that amazing? Because it is. Do you have ANY idea how many over-the-counter, beauty department, pharmacy, and 'chemical' moisturizers I have used in my life in an attempt to NOT have dry skin? You probably do. :) And I've tried everything from 'dermatology recommended' moisturizers to high end EXPENSIVE moisturizers. Some worked, some didn't. However, even those that worked best... my face was still slightly dry. NOT WITH THIS!! That's amazing to me. This is the only product I use on my face, before my makeup. No dryness.... At all! What I mean by this is: When you wash your face... does it feel tight? If the answer is yes, your moisturizer isn't doing its job (or you are using way too harsh of a cleanser). With this product, I can wash my face with my gentle cleanser and be fine. No tightness, nothing. My skin doesn't flake or dry like it use too on other products. It FEELS healthy!!! Unfortunately for me, I do have acne. But that is not caused by external forces. I am currently going on Accutane, because my dermatologist agreed with me that, other than my acne, my skin 'is' very healthy. And it is. I've been using this product for three months now. At first I used it as a 'primer'. I put it on after my moisturizer. And only once a day. Slowly I transferred to using this product more and more. And eventually I stopped using the moisturizers (including the heavy cream moisturizer at night) all together. I seriously couldn't be happier. Word of caution: It IS real aloe vera gel. When you put it on your face, rub it in until you can't anymore (without rubbing the skin off your face. Be gentle!). It feels a little tight as it dries but if you rubbed it into your skin, it should be fine after a few minutes. Do not GLOB this on your skin and leave it. It will cause it to peel (it will peel/shed if you dont rub it in all the way, so make sure to do so). Also, as with all other natural products, you may have an allergic reaction to it if you 'glob' it on. This happened to be once from Aloe Vera gel direct from the plant (I had a plant at home and squeezed out the gel). I applied it in globs on some irritated skin. In about 5-7 minutes it was burning like all h***. Follow the directions.... Less is better. (This goes for essential oils too, just fyi)

Simply amazing first aid and skin gel.

I originally purchased this product over a decade ago when it was called "Wound Gel" I used it to speed the recovery of a 3rd degree burn that had been excised. It cut the time to heal roughly in half, and prevented any infection or other issues from cropping up. I have since given this product to several people who have had wounds or burns and it has helped all of them with a speedier recovery than other products would allow. On several occasions, I have used regular aloe from the drug store, and it does not work nearly as well as the whole-leaf aloe in this product. I now keep at least a half-bottle on hand at all times. This product works as advertised

LOVE IT!

I suffer from severe acne & I have tried EVERYTHING. But nothing has worked like this stuff has. I decided to give this a try because a friend of mine uses aloe plants for her skin & its flawless. So I wanted to get it in a bottle instead of having to take apart the actual plant everyday, which can get messy. I've been using this for almost 2 months & my face has never been this clear. Not only has my face stopped breaking out, but its also made my acne scars fade away a lot. I use this every single day & I love it

Calmer skin noticable in a few days

Aloe Life Skin Gel has really calmed my skin. I suffer from mild adult acne, and I've found out that the harsh products I used as a teen don't cut it anymore. They have been making my face worse. This aloe gel has really healed exsisting acne scars and blemishes. I use it 2x/day (morning and night) after my Wedderspoon Raw Organic Manuka Honey Active 16 , 17.6-Ounce Jar mask. Aloe contains salicylic acid naturally, so you gain the blemish fighting properties of SA without the drying. I also use the aloe as a spot treatment (1 Tablespoon Aloe Life Skin Gel and 1 drop Tea Tree Oil, 4 fl. oz. mixed in a small container). My skin continues to get better and better as time goes on

BEST ALOE ON THE MARKET

The best Aloe Gel for using on your face or anywhere. I have used this for years in place of all those high priced face creams that are just chemicals. It keeps my skin moisturized, and I believe it has kept my skin looking young at 53 after using for the last 10 years (always used natural aloe prior to this brand). It has vitamin A and other vitamins in it. Great for healing up minor cuts, burns and sunburns too

Great gel to treat eczema!

** update ** Do not buy this from ToysNGamesEtc. I purchased the last one from this seller and noticed ingredients are different. They sell the one with Sodium Benzoate which you don't want to put on your skin. I used to use Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera to treat my eczema skin but I couldn't find it in a pharmacy store when I needed to buy a new one. So I went to a natural foods store where I found a few other aloe gels by companies like Now Foods and Lily of The Desert. My "organic lover" boyfriend took a look at ingredients of all gels they sell and told me to buy Skin Gel because that's the only product that has no chemicals. It was relatively expensive compare to other brands' so I bought the smallest one to try out... OMG this gel is amazing!!! I had a minor scratch on my cheek so I put this gel on. In a few minutes I could feel my skin is stretching to cover the scar! It also works much faster for my eczema than the Fruit of the Earth. The gel is less thick so gets absorbed to skin quicker and it's much more spreadable so you just need smaller portion to apply (so it's actually a better deal compare to other cheaper gels since this gel lasts much longer). If you have a eczema problem like me and don't want to use steroid, I highly recommend to try this gel. I wish I found this gel sooner

This is a great product!

I have been using this for about a year now, mostly in my hair. I wanted to get away from the commercial hair gels that are loaded with chemicals. I have dry, very curly hair so I add a bit of natural oil...lemon oil for me. I just put a half dollar size amount in the palm on my hand, add a few drops of oil and "mix" it together between my hands. Then add to hair. It works great...no more chemicals! Keeps the frizz out and defines the curl. This gel is unscented but the smell of the lemon oil that I add is very refreshing in the morning
