So long as you buy any pure aloe vera gel (I have a 99.9% gel) it’s just as good as any, which is why companies rarely advertise it; it’s so easy to grow it yourself, companies can make no money from it.

It seems to have calmed down my acne (same with my brother) and I now only get the occasional odd spot, although I didn’t get that many anyway after I’d been on Roaccutane ( a god send btw ). My favourite thing about Pure Aloe Vera though, is it’s a moisturizer, yet behaves very differently from other moisturizers. Pretty much ALL moisturizers i’ve tried leave my skin oily/greasy, which subsequently leads to breakouts of spots. Aloe Vera is completely absorbed by your skin though leaving no oiliness whatsoever.

It is a little rich and heavy for a regular face moisturizer for me (my skin is normal although it’s a little dry in the winter), although from time to time if my face is feeling tight I will dab on a little at night.

It’s amazing. Here’s a little story:

Last summer was the first summer I noticed the beginning of sun damage. I worshipped the sun from the ages of 13-25. Being from a cold climate in the winter, I often enjoyed months of tanning booths. Even though I tan very easily and darken fast, I also freckle. I am part Italian (the dark skin part) and Irish (the freckle part).

During my second pregnancy, I developed something called a pregnancy mask. All around my cheekbones were dark patches and my freckles darkened everywhere as well. Since I am still nursing, the dark spots have returned this summer. I thought about getting a chemical peel from the doctor, but decided to try different face products first. I have always been a huge fan of finding new skin products.

Over the years, I have bought and tried so many anti-aging items. I clearly did not want to show my age or let sun damage get the best of me. I am 36 years old and have no wrinkles at all; however I do have the discoloration in my skin, thanks to my crazy hormones.

I came upon the Made from Earth PURE ALOE TREATMENT by typing in ‘harmful chemicals in skincare’ in the Google search. I read the reviews and thought I would try this out. I am so glad I did.

I use the Pure Aloe Treatment(works wonders, still have no signs of crow’s feet)and I noticed instant moisture to my face. Since I’m a stay at home mom, I apply this stuff all day long. I had instant results, as my face looked healthy and not dull. My discoloration started to fade and coloring all over has improved greatly. Also, since I don’t have any wrinkles on my face, I could not know if this was great for wrinkles. However, I do get morning creases on my chest (you know.. when you sleep on your side and you wake up in the morning with a big crease between your chest). I apply this on my upper chest at night and the creases do not show up in the morning.

My entire skin looks like it has taken a big glass of milk. Looks dewy and fresh. I love this stuff and will try out the rest of the Made from Earth product line. On top of that, the company that sells this line is very nice and has top customer service.
