I have acne and have read that aloe vera helps with that. Is it better to have a plant or buy gel? Where can I get a plant in Michigan? Are the plants expensive? Any and all info is appreciated related to acne and aloe vera. Thanks!

I had chicken pox and had it on my face pretty bad and I used the gel. It cleared up in about 4-6 months. Unfortunatley I purchased my gel at an expo that comes once a year and I got it about 6 years ago. Now I got a plant but never used the gel. The plant once cut open has gel inside. I think the plant may be better because it isn't watered down with other preservatives. I'm not sure where u can purchase it. Ask someone if u know someone for a piece and grow it yourself.

Aloe Vera is a great natural healer for the skin. I'm not sure if it can tackle acne scars to any degree. But, I do know a combination of calamine, alcohol, and aloe has healed a large scar/hole in the skin until you no longer see it.

i think you should get the plant, cuz like the other girl said it probably has a bunch of other ingredients in it..the plant KINDA looks like a cactus .. heres some pix and more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloe_vera
cut open the plant and theres this ooze in there..then smear it on your acne
my mom just bought the plant at the grocery store today, im sure theres aloe vera at your grocery store too i think it might be by the vegetables or fruit..if you cant find it ask someone who works there
and no they arent expensive

go to a health foods store and ask for pure aloe vera, it does help calm down the redness of acne and control oil production in the sebaceous glands.

Try both and see which is best for your skin. If you can find a plant you just break off the leaf and apply it directly to your skin. I don't know where you can find one in America. Good luck

To avoid pimples in great extend, take fresh cinnamon powder and put it in tightly sealed bottle and take little powder mix with water and apply this only on pimples. Wait for some time and wash your face. Do this for at least 10 days.
