Love it nice thick but not to thick consistency clear, feels good on skin. This wonderful plant has so many uses. I will share with you all that I know from experience, I use Aloe in multiple ways and any time I come across something new and it looks interesting I give it a try then pass it on to others.

For those who want to drink the aloe I suggest you take it followed by a fruit juice or whatever you like because the taste is gross but it isn't overpoweringly strong so no worries there

I love this stuff. It is the best moisturizer. I have very acne prone skin and this always has a comedogenic rating of 0. The term isn't regulated so I checked many different ratings, and they all came up 0. This doesn't smell, has a slightly sweet taste, and is very moisturizing. It's a natural anti inflammatory, so it helps calm red skin. I mix it with a tiny drop of pure glycerin for the drier parts of my face, but my T zone is more than well moisturized with just pure aloe vera.The only drawback is once you open it you do have to refrigerate it, so I can't store it in the bathroom which would be more convenient.I wish I hadn't originally used half the damn bottle on a no poo recipe that turned out terribly. For type 1 hair prone to greasiness no poo is probably not the way to go.Edit: about a year after ward: I've noticed that because I use this so much on my face the hairs around my hairline are thicker than they ever have been. Not sure if this is just a coincidence or not, but I like it. Also, this is not really sufficient moisturizer in winter for the rest of the body by itself, mixed with something else it would probably be okay though.

A must if you are into making your own personal products!

I have been using this aloe gel in a morning smoothie (4oz) as well as applying it to my face and neck every day for a week now. I have noticed an improvement in my digestion and it has reduced bloating. When I put it on my face, it tightens my pores and leaves my skin feeling soft. I also started using it on the dry skin on my legs and it works great! The consistency is a clear, thick jelly that comes out of the bottle in chunks. When I apply it to my skin I just hold a chunk of the gel until it melts into a liquidy consistency and then rub it into my skin. I have never used Aloe Vera for skin or health care purposes before and I am very happy with the results of this. I would buy it again.
