aloe vera moisturizer - #21508

Raj

I am trying to figure out if an aloe vera moisturizer is really worth it. A couple months ago, I started getting this really dry patch on my cheek and my normal moisturizer just wasn’t cutting it anymore. It got really flaky and sometimes even itchy, super annoying! I read somewhere that an aloe vera moisturizer could help with hydration because, like, you know how aloe is known for soothing skin? So I thought, hey why not? But when I got one and tried it, I kinda felt like it wasn’t doing much at first. Ugh! My skin doesn't feel as dry, but I wonder if the aloe vera moisturizer really penetrates the skin deeply or if it's just surface-level stuff, you know? And I read mixed reviews online about how some people say it does wonders while others... not so much. I’m also concerned 'cause my skin can sometimes break out if I try something new. Is there a specific type of aloe vera moisturizer that’s better, like with added ingredients or something? Or should I just stick to my usual stuff that I know works? It’s so confusing and I just need a clear answer!!!
