Aloe vera accelerates healing of wounds and damaged skin, but is it useful for acne? Get the answers here…
Aloe vera can be used very effectively both internally and externally for so many different things.
But does it work for acne treatment?
Aloe Vera – What it is
Aloe Vera gel is the inner part of the aloe vera plant. It has been used for centuries for burns, to heal damaged skin, and for digestive and intestinal problems.
It has proven to accelerate healing because among other things it has the ideal polysaccharides necessary for the skin to repair. It gives the skin the “building blocks” to repair.
It also accelerates healing of the “inner skin” the delicate bowel lining.
But should you use it for acne treatment?
Does aloe vera help acne sufferers?
In one word…YES!
No doubt about it aloe vera WILL help your skin heal from the damage cause by your acne. It WILL lesson redness and swelling. And it WILL improve the overall health of your skin.
But it WON’T cure acne.
No topical or external acne treatment can cure acne. The only way to do that is internally. (See The Acne Cure E-Course).
How to use aloe vera for acne treatment
Get pure aloe gel and apply liberally topically to your skin after washing. It’s as simple as that.

I just googled “aloe vera for acne” and found this. My reasoning was that aloe vera is used for things like sun burns, so it obviously helps to cool the skin. Studies have found that acne can also be brought on or contributed to by heat within your body caused by anger or stress. I am going to start using aloe vera and see if it helps. Also, rice milk is said to cool the skin as well. Just some thoughts.

I use aloe vera for my skin when I breakout and the acene goes away the more I use it. Dont buy the cream that contains aloe vera it doesnt have much in it and the stores just want your money . Just buy the original plant cut it even though this sounds messy just take it and rub it on your face once in morning and night you will see results trust me and you can take a banna peel and put it on your face im not lieing it works
well the aloe really works for me. I never has acne and recently i just has the nasty breakout on my face. It was embarassing. So a friend recommended aloe and just one week of using it i saw amazing results. My acne seem less everyday and it gave me a cooler complextion, pluse the scars from the acne started to clear up.
i started using aloe vera for my acne bearly 3days ago but i can categorically tell u it has worked faster than every other medications i have being using like the benzole perozide and the rest of them. Aloe vera for me it is. Did i mention that my scars are fading off?
plzzzz help me iam very upset
((((
actualyy my skin was so clear but b4 2 months iam suffering from acne will aloevera help ??? it really works???? i dun wanna use antibiotics :’( n creamssssss

Aloe will certainly help healing and it has anti-inflammatory properties. However, the root cause of acne is internal. It’s not going to fix that. Sorry
than wat should i doooooo ??????????
I used to suffer from acne. It really depressed me. So,my frens recommended the aloe plant to me. Aloe vera has totally change my life. My skin now looks vibrant and flawless. Just use the original plant instead of cream etc. Split the plant to get the gel and apply on the face every morning, evening and night. Believe me it works and less cost as well.
Yeah
Believe or not I wash both my hair and face with baking soda only and apply aloe vera from the plant right after and my skin is clear, and super smooth and i’m a dude. I also tend to drink a lot of water. Try it out it worked for my brother and I. I do have a beard though so not shaving everyday helps in not irratating my skin. I don’t even get those once in a while pimpls or zits.
how do i do this, i just wet my face, rub it on and go, or do i rinse it off???
do i just rub it on and not rinse my face at all?
Ah I’m so happy it’s working for me! I was trying all those silly products that say they work, but going natural has been the ONLY difference I have seen. Also, lemon juice has made another huuuge difference!
My routine was this: In the morning I wash my face, dry, then moisturize. When I come home from school (3pm) I will wash again, dry, then apply lemon juice (do not wash off). Then before I go to bed, I wash my face, dry and then split the aloe vera plant and apply the gel.
In the morning I’ve noticed a huge difference in redness and swelling. I’ve also seen the scars fading!! But remember to drink plenty of water, and try to eat more apples. This really does help. Commit yourself to a healthier you! If you want more advice just email me at sugarcanexoxo@hotmail.com – I’ll respond because I know how miserable it is!!
Just rub it on ur face…and leave it overnite..like moisturizer.. i am trying it too..i am upset with those expensive skin care which does not give me anything! Good luck!!
Hello Everyone!!
I had HORRIBLE acne problems in the last 13 years!! I used this AMAZING natural Aloe product and it worked a lot faster and a lot better then any Aloe product out there on the market!!!
It’s very important the aloe product you choose in the store and most of the time they don’t work and just make it worst! My friend bought a huge bottle saying it’s pure and no additives and been taking it for about a week and her body started doing funny things!! I showed her what I used and she was AMAZED!!! Be careful what you put in your body and on your body out there.
Please e-mail me and I’d love to share my story with you and how I did it.
My e-mail is foreverlivingvictoria@hotmail.com
PLEASE READ- acne is caused by a pathogen and there is just a few ways to kill pathogens which is inexpensive. you guys should read about coloidal silver which is silver in water and dab it on ur skin and the silver kills them. also the ULTIMATE ZAPPER is great against killing pathogens look at the ultimate zapper in google and go to the testimonials there great.
Sorry folks, it doesn’t work. Wish it did. I’m a big fan of colloidal silver FOR THE RIGHT PROBLEM. As for acne though, it does not cure the root problem. Wish it did.
ok, so.. I am a true believer.. I have been stugleing with moderate to mild acne for the past year.. I am 24 an I have NO idea where it started coming out from, I would dry my skin out.. and it seemed to help for a bit.. then I would break out on my forehead cause it was too dry and when I would have acne.. the scars seemed to take forever cause there was no moisture in the skin for it to heal, and on top of that.. I would get bad ingrown hairs on my beard, those scars were not fun to heal! then I tried mosturizers…. (many different kinds) it helped for a bit.. then I noticed my skin after a week would become too moisturized and the places where I never had acne.. it started to appear! which was horrible cause I could deal with it somewhat on my forehead and chin.. but.. not on my cheeks, and they were really bad ones when they would break out, I was to the point where I was going CRAZY.. I was thinking I was going to just have to live with it till I was 30. So then.. I changed my diet, and it seemed to work ok when I would eat alot of vitamin c foods, and drank alot of water.. but I still seemed to get some acne on my temples and on my forehead and some of my neck.. I was so sad. We all know how it feels to go through this, and then I realized that my parents have hundreds of aloe vera plants around their place. SO.. I looked up about it and always had heard it was good for burns.. but I naturally thought that if it was good for that.. it must be way too moisturizing therefor going to clog my pores furthermore. BUT I decided to try it, it couldnt hurt… So, after the FIRST night of trying it.. I noticed my previous small scars were fading FAST.. I didnt want to get to excited, so.. I just would wash my face with cetaphyl face wash and then cut a small piece of aloe, and then cut the side edges off and one side of the leaf, exposing the inner gel, then rubbing it all over my face, and even body. One leaf goes a LONG WAY! I have been doing this for 3 weeks now and can honestly say I am living proof that I have the most amazing, clear, skin I have ever had in my whole life. I get stopped and told at the gym how bright and glowing I look, I completely agree! I catch myself in my rear view mirror and just get so excited, this changes my year 110%.. I would recomend it to ANYONE with acne. If it worked for me.. Its a worth a try. I am not sure if I would trust many products that are bottled, but this, I would try. obviously.. Fresh would be best, that is what I use every day and night.. why not! Hope you guys do
i had dry skin, when i washed my face it felt tight and dry, i started using the gel of the aloe plant at night and leaving it in. now my face fees supple and soft after washing and this is just only after a couple of days, the aloe gel is a wonder.l
i tried loads of different products for ages but nothing seemed to help. one day i had this great i dea to use aloe vera gel because i had known of its use for healing scars and there is nothing worse then an acne scar. however i did not use aloe vera gel just by itself. i was on doxcycline pills and i used benzyl peroxide for ages with almost no improvement, but as soon as i used a combination of doxycycline, benzyl peroxide and aloe vera gel i noticed instant changes. the pills and the benzyl peroxide began to fight the acne breakouts and the aloe vera would heal almost every scar and it completely got rid of any redness. i reccomend any1 who is suffering from severe acne to immediatly try these 3 products. i can assure u will see improvements in no more than a week. dont waste your money on gimmicks like proactive. benzyl peroxide, doxycycline and aloe vera our bound to work. what have u got to lose but ur acne
it actually angers me that i didn’t find out about aloe vera sooner. all the adds tell u to try products that dont work, and doctors tell u to buy products which barely do anything. we’re the ones who suffer for years and all it wouldve taken is one commercial to say try aloe vera u will see improvment in a number of days. or the doctors could have said try aloe vera with the drugs ur currently prescribed for ur acne. so many days spent feeling self conscious for nothing
I too have found great results with using Aloe Vera as It lets my skin heal quickly and keeps it looking clear and healthly but what really helped my acne clear was changing my diet to not having any artifical sugars and no White bread and limited amount of whole grain breads. I mostly just eat fruits & vegatables like apples, rarely eat meat, and eat lots of different types of nuts.
To have clear skin, i believe you truely need to have a strict diet of natural foods, such a limiting diet kinda sucks but you get used to it and it really pays off.
hopefully it works because i took the plant from my mothers back yard XD
