How Well Does Aloe Vera Work As A Natural Acne Remedy?

I started suffering from acne when I was a teenager. The dermatologist I went to prescribed a combination of creams and antibiotics which worked well. Unfortunately, I suffered badly from nausea and gastric problems – a side effect of the acne care treatment. He then switched me to a different antibiotic which was less effective. However, the side effects were still intolerable. After less than a year, I dropped out of the treatment.

Even then, my family already knew of aloe vera as a natural remedy. If only we had thought to use it as a natural acne remedy as well, I would not have suffered so much acne scarring. I don’t know if some other treatment would have been more effective, but since we grew our own aloe vera plants, I could have been slathering aloe vera pulp on my face everyday.

As aloe vera had no side effects, it would definitely have been much better than the antibiotics. While using aloe vera as natural acne skin care would not have gotten rid of all my pimples, it would certainly have:

  • Reduced the inflammation of my pimples and promoted healing, hence reducing acne scars.
  • Soothed my sensitive skin, hence reducing the formation of whiteheads and blackheads – the precursor of acne. I would definitely have had fewer pimples if I had used aloe vera as whitehead and blackhead home remedies.

If you grow your own aloe vera plants, all you need to do is take the leaf and squeeze the juice and pulp onto your skin. For greater convenience, just pulp the entire leaf in a blender and keep it in your refrigerator.
