Aloe vera is the wonder remedy of acne for some.  I generally use it for sunburns, and I’ve only used it on a few occasions, especially when I threw away a bottle because I made the huge mistake of not checking to see if it had alcohol in there.  That was a painful lesson to learn to say the least, especially being that I really only buy aloe vera when it’s pretty bad.  But frankly, if you use that same aloe vera on your face or just an acne treatment on your face with aloe vera, it can help. 

The reason aloe vera works on sunburns is that it obviously cools the skin.  But while it cools the skin, it is promoting healing, more production of the skin cells you need, and otherwise.  You can use it in various forms, and if you buy it from your local health store or otherwise, you can literally just apply it at night and wash it off in the morning so that it can do its work throughout the night.  It can reduce the occurrence of scars and even lessen scars to some degree while also soothing the facial skin in general.  Aloe vera is not too bad a choice to say the least.
