I've ever used it for sunburn not on myself but someone else. It has the cooling effect and sunburn recovery was rapid. Overall an effective product.

Good for skin, no doubt. Whether it rids skin problems, I do not have the expertise to answer that. Perhaps somebody whose done some research on this matter could enlighten us.

yup i swear by aloe vera gel. its like my holy grail! i've used it on pimples and they disappear after a few days without being inflammed or anything like that. i've applied it on mozzy bites, sun burn, ulcers, dry skin etc.. not sure if all brands of aloe vera is as good, but the one that i am using is Jorubi.

Correct, Aloe vera is good to stop bleeding, itchy, ulcer and good to whole body.
Nowaday, marketing also a lotof product with alor vera.
Due to Aloe vera is very good, but if the aloe vera is 100-Time Aloe Barbadensis Concentrate (mean 100gram concentrate to 1gram) is it better?? hahaa.............
Cause i now using a set personal care on my body, hair and face which 100-X Aloe Barbadensis Concentrate, and other Nano-Ganoderma Lucidum.

Below is the product information that i am using :
Face ::

It is not exaggerating to claim that the exclusive range of Vcare Skin Care Products formulated through Nano-Technology is a major breakthrough that plays a crucial role in unleashing the full potential of Lingzhi for skin care purposes. No thanks to their large molecular sizes, the ingredients of other skin care products cannot be effectively absorbed for their intended results. In contrast, Nano-Technology as a vital contribution to the modern-day biotechnologies makes it possible to considerably reduce molecular sizes for more efficient absorption by the skin, thus enabling more enhanced skin care benefits.

Apart from the epoch-making liquid concentrate of Nano-Ganoderma Lucidum, another main ingredient that helps differentiate Vcare Skin Care Products from the rest is 100-X Aloe Barbadensis Concentrate. It exhibits amazing effects in imparting repair benefits and regulating the skin condition, in addition to offering softening, calming, soothing, pH balancing, anti-inflammatory, and moisture-retention attributes.


Body & Hair


Shuang Hor has painstakingly developed for you a comprehensive range of personal-care products featuring the Vcare Personal-care Series and Greenzhi Toothgel.
