It's not scented it's just [Fruit of the earth] aloe vera with some litocaine or something for sunburns

Aloe vera w/ lidocane will help minimize the pain and soothe a sunburn.
As for the scars, you may consider using pure aloe vera or vitamin E cream as the burn starts to heal.

Neosporin does NOT work for acne. If you have sensitive skin it makes it worse by drying it out and reddening the entire area around where you put it. It has the same effect as benzoyl peroxide in that regard.
I have used aloe for sunburn before and it works fantastically; I'm using it now for a few acne scars. Not sure yet whether it works.

lidocaine takes the ouch out of a sunburn...
but so does plain aloe vara.
only use plain 100% aloe vera on your acne scars.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

definately the sunburn. never heard of the acne. make sure you actually get real aloe vera oil or balm instead of just scented ones!
