Ive been rubbing Aloe Vera gel straight from the plant on face for the past month (morning and night) with tremendous results. Where I once had wide pores are now barely visible and my skin is less oily and feels super clean,i highly recommend it. I'm also one with sensitive skin and Aloe gives me no problems,if anything it helps any irritations. Organic Coconut Oil on the other hand tends to break me out. It smells good once applied but tends to smell like burnt plastic on my skin after a few hours,not so appealing. What I would suggest is using Coconut Oil as a hand Mousturizer,it also helps significantly with eczema or psoriasis. I like it,it just doesn't seem to make for a good body moisturizer if you have sensitive skin. The Combination of Aloe and Coconut Oil seems very beneficial for wounds. I had a major hand wound and the application of Pure Aloe Gel ( let dry ) then a little Coconut Oil worked wonders.

What is a scar?
A scar is an overgrowth of fibrous tissue and blood vessels that form as a result of injury, a cut or a burn. There are many types. Keloids are very thick clusters of scar tissue that appear as red or purple lesions, often growing outside of the injury, cut or incision. They can be very difficult to treat and have a tendency to reappear even after scar removal treatment.
Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloids and tend to be thick, red, and raised, but remain within the boundaries of the original incision or wound. They can often be improved with scar removal methods such as a simple application of special creams, or injections.
Because of its location, a facial scar is frequently considered a cosmetic problem, whether or not it is hypertrophic. There are several scar removal techniques to make a facial scar less noticeable. Often it is simply to cut out the scar and close it with tiny stitches, leaving a thinner, less noticeable scar. Laser scar removal procedures may also be used as well as creams.
Burns also cause scars and can result in a loss of a large area of skin. The resulting scar contracts, causing the edges of skin to be pulled together, affecting adjacent muscles and tendons and restricting normal movement. These are usually treated with scar removal surgery using a skin flap, or graph and tissue expansion.
Treatment
Surgery: Sometimes surgery may be required to improve the scar. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess scar tissue, and reposition the incision so that it heals in a less visible pattern. This scar removal surgery is usually done under local or general anesthesia in the doctor's office.
Creams/Massages: Treatment using special creams are applied directly to the scar. The cream softens the scar tissue and promotes healing by working on the collagen fibers and realigning them. Massage may also be recommended, especially after breast surgery. This also helps to break up the scar tissue.
Laser: Scars, especially old scars, may be treated with PhotoDerm, a non-invasive, laser-like device that emits an intense flash of light that works directly on the scar by reducing the blood vessels present in the scar tissue.
Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal. Coconut oil is also being used by thyroid sufferers to increase body metabolism, and to lose weight. Virgin coconut oil is also used for making natural soaps and other health products, as it is one of the healthiest things one can put on their skin.
As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognized by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness, and much research is currently being done on the incredible nutritional value of pure coconut oil. Please go to coconutoil.com to read about these studies. Good luck! :o)
