What is the difference between this product and the "Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera GELLY"? Can this product be used topically (cuts, sunburns, etc.)?

To my knowledge(not 1000%sure) the Gel is made from the gel of the leaf. I drink this product... it helps to clear my skin and keep me regular. I have in the past use Aloe leaf and the gel from the leaf on burns and cuts. However, I have not done that with with product.

This is more like a thick liquid. I think this one can be used internally but probably could be used on burns and cuts as well.

I think it depends on how you are going to use it. First let me say we use it on ourselves as well as our dogs (we have champion english setters). in our ranch environment we get lots of scrapes and scratches as do our dogs. I have the hydogel sitting by my sink in our back bathroom. small scrapes/cuts/burns/wounds the gel is great. However for larger areas skin rashes, larger wound areas as in care after stitches, the spray works best.

I don't know what you mean by "just gel"? Gel is not one actual substance. The word "gel" refers to thick consistency and that's all. If you look it up on google, the definition of "gel" is this -- gel is a jellylike substance containing a cosmetic, medicinal, or other preparation. Therefore, pure aloe gel is pure aloe of thick consistency. and i believe technically it is actually 99.7 percent pure aloe, the other .3 percent being a safe preservative.

chlorhexidine & aloe vera. used it on my cat & dogs for minor scratches and dermatitis...works great. Don't think it stings them...at least they had no reaction to spray one way or another!I would buy this product again.

Not sticky at all... if you've ever used aloe on yourself, it's similar to that. Watery and slick, but not sticky. When dry, there is no residue.

This product does not contain alcohol, which is extremely drying; most other witch hazel brands do. And, this contains aloe, which tones & soothes the skin - Thayers is a much better product.

My question too. I see fish OIL,vit E OIL...et cetera in gel capsules, so what is holding THEM together without dissolving? I need to take aloe vera and want to encapsulate it myself to save money. I already have the capsule machine and the gel caps, which work just fine for ground, dried herbs...but for aloe vera? And what is to stop it from becoming rancid once I do all that work? Cannot store it in a fridge, going camping soon and need to know.

I've never personally experienced pain nor heat from using this product, but my skin is incredibly resilient (I'm olive and oily and never sunburn). My best guess is that your skin is far more sensitive than mine and perhaps you're letting the gel dry too long and therefore rubbing harder to get it off. The added friction would produce heat and probably some skin sensitivity, too, so rubbing it off sooner or re-wetting if it's dried too long may help. And, if you really just have fair, sensitive skin, this product may just be too harsh an exfoliant for you. Best of luck.

Yes this is pure Aloe Vera, no additives. It is not the Aloe you buy for sun burn with all the scents and other chemicals added.

Ive bought 6 tubes or more so far from different vendors: dermatologists in CA and TX, various online retailers , and Amazon. It's never grainy. Creamy/not watery and thicker than lotion but still easy to apply. It feels like it provides good sun protection. Did you check the expiration on the end of the backside of the tube? I would return to Amazon

Hi, This seems to be the same formula. It is marvelous on dry skin, not just if you have been in a sun bed.Would recommend it as a moisturizer cream.

Sounds like the same one that I am using. I really do like it. The label says Ageless and it has Aloe and Lavender oil in it.

I tried this and it was more like Noxema. I like the aloe version much better - just my opinion. Or try the one for sensitive skin.

I read somewhere to use it 5 to 10 minutes a day and to do a Z back and forth motion. I always put lotion with no alcohol on before using it. I read that Aloe lotion was good and that is what I am using. I have been doing this since the middle of July and can see a big difference. I had a lot of lines around my lips, which are pretty much gone. It has tightened my skin and looks great!!!! My son and his family came over Sunday and I have not seen them since I started using this and my son and his wife kept saying how young I looked. They must have said it 4 or 5 times, I laughed and they said " I'm not kidding, you look so young"............ I loved it!!! Feel free to ask me anything you are concerned about and I will see if I can help you.

On lotions and creams I would use the Aloe Vera Gel because it will mix much better. With the powder it would be hard to mix thoroughly. I use the powder for dry mixes where it will blend well.

so those are the ingredients for the aloe whipped butter gel. Amazon needs to fix that. Go to the camille rose website to get the correct ingredient list.

No, this is only pure aloe gel that comes from the insides of the leaves of aloe vera plants, with a few preservatives added. However, it can make your skin softer and healthier. I do use it on my face. Be careful to not get it too close to your eyes. I always close my eyes for a few minutes after applying it. It will cause a burning sensation to your eyes.
