pure aloevera gel - #14661

Parthiv

I am starting to really wonder about this pure aloevera gel I found at the local health store. I thought it’d be great for my skin since I have super dry patches and some areas that are just irritated and annoying. The other day, I used this gel after a shower and it felt nice and cooling, but then I started to notice some redness on my arms. Like, is that normal? Should pure aloevera gel cause any irritation at all? I mean, I always heard it’s supposed to be soothing and everything. I've been using it for a few days now and thought it was working wonders, but this redness popped up. Do you guys think it could be an allergic reaction, or maybe just my skin being weird? I've even read that some brands are not truly pure, so how can I tell if I actually got the real pure aloevera gel? Anyone else had a similar experience? Should I stop using it? I just really want to figure this out cause I was so hopeful about it. Like, it was supposed to help and now I'm not sure if it’s my solution or just another skin issue. Please help, I don’t want to keep putting something on my skin that isn’t actually helping!
