20 Best Aloe Vera Gel For Sunburn (2022 Updated)

I tried this one, because I love the Sun Bum SPF50 roll on sunscreen so much. It’s EASILY my new favorite. I’ve always loved the aloe type aftercare products. This one has it in it as the first ingredient, but the consistency is so much better than other aloe products I’ve tried.

It’s not sticky, I usually will put it on 2-3 times on my not-so-sun-friendly places that happened to get burnt. I wish it would let me add my picture of the day after being burnt. It goes down SIGNIFICANTLY! To the point where you wouldn’t be able to tell that I was burnt.

The way that the tea tree leaf oil soothes my skin, the natural cooling sensation of the aloe, on top of air drying in front of a fan, is AMAZING. It’s my holy grail go to now.

I am a 52 year old in Louisiana who has never really used any skin products. After an extended day on the beach and a little excess sun it tried this product. I would give it 6 stars if I could, I now use it twice a day all over my body.

The reason I say guys will love it: 1. No greasy feel! 2. Not typical lotion feel 3. Apply and it soaks in quickly and feels great 4. It truly is an incredible daily moisturizer. 5. People now see me at the pool and beach and literally ask why my skin is so smooth.

THE BEST!.

I had a bad sunburn on my back, so I figured I could add some Aloe to help soothe the pain. After applying, it burnt my skin and increased pain by TEN TIMES. I started feeling nauseous and sick from the SEVERE pain.

I eventually tried to get it off my skin, but it was so sensitive and burnt that I couldn’t shower or put a cool rag on it. As a result, I ended up having to wait for the reaction to slowly go down and just deal with the pain.

This ruined an entire day of mine, and made work impossible. DO NOT BUY. The fact that this product is allowed to be sold in stores is mind blowing. Side note – I have no known allergies and have never had a reaction to any skin product.

Have had an oily complexion most of my life. From my teenage years until I purchased and tried this All Natural 100% Pure and Organic Aloe Vera Gel. I noticed from the very first day I used it that there was a difference in my skin.

It felt, not only less oily but, softer and smother as well. Will not be applying any other product to my face after bathing than this product. So very glad I purchased and tried this product. It is great, wonderful and a truly fantastic facial moisturizer that can be applied both morning and night that will not leave your complexion oily but rather gives it a natural glow.

This seems to work for hydrating and healing; however, I was disappointed in its soothing qualities. I used it on red irritated skin, and it stings a little when first applying. The stinging subsides in a minute or two.

The only thing I see in the ingredients that might cause the stinging is citric acid. For soothing I prefer to use the gel from the actual aloe plant which does not sting at all. Do not use this product on raw skin!.

Best natural aloe I’ve found so far for using as hair gel! My whole family uses it! It’s great for men, women, kids, short or long hair. We love it. I do wish it was a bit stickier for my son’s little mohawk but other than that it works pretty great.

No scent and no harsh ingredients.

This is the first product from this brand I’ve tried and I am hooked. I love this Aloe Vera gel. It’s perfect for my sensitive skin. There’s no scent added; it’s really pure. It has helped my skin recover super fast from a little bit too much sun exposure.

This gel is easy to apply. Non sticky. It glides smoothly over skin and absorbs fully after a minute or so. It’s filled with real ingredients. My skin is soothed by it quickly. I’ve used it several times and have loved it every time.

5 stars all the way!!.

This Alba Botantica After Sun Aloe Vera Gel is sadly not worth buying. The “gel” is very watery. The consistency is more like an Aloe Water that one drinks after it has been refrigerated. As I apply the product on my face over the sink, it generally drips from hands into the sink.

For my skin, the gel is like a slightly thicker water that smells faintly like Aloe Vera. As soon as I place it on it hydrates for a minute and then goes away. I only gave three stars because I’ve heard this is a good brand I would be interested in seeing what else they have.

This product is one of my favorites after sun to take care of my skin after being exposed a lot to the sun. It’s not sticky or oily, and it absorbs quickly and smoothly. This is such a refreshing stuff! It absorbs fast and does not leave a sticky residue on the skin.

I highly recommend it. #aftersun #skincare #albabotanica #suncare #crueltyfree.

I’ll tell you one of my beauty secrets if you promise to do it. Well most people apply aloe Vera gel to sunburns and then leave it in the medicine cabinet the rest of the time. Not me! I use it as a mask.

I apply a good amount on my face and let it marinate for around 20 minutes. Then wipe it off. I do this later in the day because it can be sticky and not good before makeup application so I usually leave a little to finish absorbing but not much.

If you think of all the soothing mask they usually have aloe Vera and vitamin E. I know there’s other ingredients in the common mask but I think this is amazing by itself. Plus super cheap. Give it a try you might be suprised.

This deserves 0 stars. If you have a bad sunburn DO NOT use this product. After applying it graciously to only certain parts of my burns where it was the worst my skin started to sting and then after felt dry and tight.

I looked at the ingredients and saw that ingredient number 2 is denatured alcohol which is used in cosmetics for drying out the skin… which is contraindicated in sunburns. I applied a different sunburn care cream on which has cetyl alcohol in it (which is fine on sunburns) and got instant relief and the tight dry feeling went away.

Use Maui babe or Sunbum cool down lotion instead. It’ll save you the pain.

I had an outdoor volleyball tournament and wore absolutely 0 sunscreen because I’m an idiot but I got a reallllyy bad sun burn and I got sun poisoning (those yellow blisters). I put this stuff on those yellow blisters thinking maybe this will just calm them down.

THIS COMPLETELY HEALED THEM. It took about 3-4 days of consistent use but when I tell you my skin has never felt more hydrated and healthy. This stuff is insane. I felt like I needed to leave a really good review because this was made by the gods.

Lol imma wear sunscreen next time but still got this just in case.

This stuff is the bees knees to use after being in the sun. It smells A-MA-ZING!!!! I leave mine in the refrigerator all year round. So, if its been a red hot day having FREEZING COLD gel put on its just bliss.

I also use this if I/family member scald or burn themselves as it take off the initial nasty sting. If using for a kitchen burn I slap a good amount onto the burn and then wrap in cling film until it stops hurting.

This has been a lifesaver at times and saved trip to hospital. Similar burns left untreated prior to having this have needed medical attention.

Absolutely a great product. Last year during covod I couldn’t find aloe anywhere. I found this large bottle and it made many bottles of antibacterial gel and I still have tons left. It’s a perfect gel and great on burns too.

My mom always told me that you should always have aloe vera gel on hand in your home! I really like this brand! There is no sticky residue and no weird smell. It leaves your sunburned skin feeling soft and refreshed.

I have really enjoyed using this aloe product. I actually don’t really burn like some people do but I do get the red and tight skin sometimes when out in the sun too much, and this has really worked for me.

I just rub it in all over and I feel this nice cooling feeling and my skin feels soft.

I absolutely love this gel, anytime we’ve been out in the sun all day this is a must! The gel feels so good on our hot body’s, it cool and soothes our skin. It doesn’t have a strong scent so it’s not bothersome.

The price isn’t bad so it’s a must to try, you won’t regret it.

I love this stuff! I use it for everything! Sunburned ? Aloe Vera. Hair dry? Aloe Vera. Need a face mask? Aloe Vera!!!! This stuff is amazing!

Even after applying sunscreen, I still managed to get burned while out at my pool. Thank goodness we always have this soothing aloe that helps soothe the burn, reduce the redness and moisturizes the skin to prevent peeling.

It’s easy to purchase, affordable and definitely worth it.

I was disappointed that aloe is the 10th ingredient in this product. But my skin was stinging. I was desperate and this was the only aloe gel available at my local grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised by the relief this burn gel brought.

It cooled my skin and put the pain on pause. I applied it 3 times a day to my sun damaged skin for about a week. My skin repaired itself quickly and remained moisturized with the help of this product.

It’s very slightly sticky and has more scent than neccessary, but the smell fades quickly. I paid $5 for 16 oz. I barely made a dent. I’m happy to have plenty leftover because I can’t find an expiration date and this is the type of product you want to have on hand before you need it.

I absolutely love because it’s not just soothing but it also absorbs super quickly and doesn’t leave you feeling sticky or tacky. The price is extremely affordable for a large bottle as well, so you get a great bang for your buck.

I’d highly recommend this product to anyone who gets sunburns or even minor burns; I’ve used this after an altercation with my oven and it was super soothing. Definitely recommend this product!.

Sometimes you need aloe after a sunburn. This product does the job. I think everything banana boat does is great. Maybe I think this because I grew up with the smell of this brand. This is the most affordable brand that does the job right.

I always recommend and buy for my little siblings or just anybody. Sun health is the best health and this is an affordable and dependable brand to buy from.

This feels incredible on a sunburn. I keep this on hand and I keep mine in the refrigerator year round. When our family visits us at the beach I keep this handy for sunburns. It’s like a cooling relief on sunburns.

Keeping it cold in the fridge is like heaven putting it on a sunburn. Highly recommend.

I have used this for after I have been in the sun for a long day and have had to much sun. It helps soothe the burn on the skin. It is effective and affordable. The packaging is nice. I do recommend to others.

If you have fair or pale skin, this is a MUST HAVE. This product has saved me countless times from sun poisoning type burns. The lidocaine really really helps sooth sunburns, and has a cooling effect.

My gel is blue, but it seems like it’s the same aloe product. Stop reading this review and go purchase this product right now!! (Can you tell I love it since it’s halfway gone).

This summer the heat and sun are doing a number on my forearms. I’ve been wearing daily sunscreen and trying to stay out of the sun. Even while driving I’m hiding my arms from the sun. The sun was causing my arms to itch so bad, I scratched them to bleed while I was sleeping.

I tried all application types of Benadryl, hydrocortisone, cold packs, but nothing was working. As a last resort I tried this and my heat rash immediately started going away. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!.

If you are like me and sunburn very easy you’re gonna want to buy this! I swear by it that it is the best think I have used to help with super bad sunburn. It eased the pain and had me able to wear clothes without hurting so bad after a few uses.

I love this product, great for sunburns, regular burns, good when you just get a new tattoo give the skin moisture and takes the burning away allows skin to breath too. Super great love this

Love the ingredients. No fragrance. I like the fact that i can use it as a serum on my face and body first before applying a heavier lotion of any kind without having issues of product roll off, (it will not pill), because it sinks in.

No dimethicone or silicone in this. I love the dry oil for this reason too (it’s a gel),but not the tanning accelerator that comes as a cream…. stay away unless you want pills of lotion on you and your clothes.

It’s so refreshing to use this gel on the skin after a day in the sun. It moisturise leaving the skin smooth and refreshed. The smell of aloe Vera is really nice, not strong. I really recommend this gel.

It’s not expensive and it does the job.

I bought this for my trip to Mexico just in case my husband or I got burned. I ended up having to use this product on my husband because he got burned because he wanted to start his tan for the summer.

Well he ended up burned, so I applied this to his back and sholders. He said he got instant relief better than the cheap aloevera gel we normally used.

It smells so good! Admit it, girls are more likely to enjoy shower time with good scents all around! Dove won’t fail you in this department. With a pea sized amount, it can produce more than usual suds, something that I like too! Another happy thought is the visible beads.

Being an exfoliating body wash, each scallop has some tiny beads you can subtly feel when you rub it across your skin. This will put your shower me-time to another level!. While it smells good, the scent doesn’t stay that long.

In fairness, that’s understandable considering its price. Another one is that it takes quite an effort to wash off the residue, a trademark from Dove and other highly moisturizing soaps. This is not an altogether bad thing, just make sure that you won’t use this when you only have a 10-minute bath time to spare.

Another great product from my ever favorite DOVE roster! I suggest you lather some more during your night shower so you can appreciate how soft your arms and legs are just before going to bed. Me-time is an important time you need to keep!.

This particular scent was not my favorite even though I used the entire bottle. That being said: the scent lasts forever on the skin!!! I would definitely purchase this again in a different scent that I like more for that reason.

Many body washes smell great but when you wash them off, the scent is gone too…. Not with this product!!!! It is definitely worth your money as well!!!! Super affordable price for the amount of product you get!.

Love this body wash! I have used Dove body products (like their sensitive soap bar sometimes wash) for years. I was looking for a new body wash to help red bumps sooth sensitive skin because I had recently used some fragranced soap bar that really irritated my skin.

I found some sites that mentioned the Dove gentle exfoliating sea minerals as a good body wash for acne/rash/irritation, so I thought I’d give it a try since I already like Dove. I have gone through 3 bottles of this body wash and it is amazing!! It soothed/healed my skin irritation and I was worried the exfoliation might not be good long term for my sensitive skin but it has been one of the best body washes I have used! $5 at walmart.

We bought this at a CVS before going on our beach trip. It worked very well with my husband being Scot/Irish American, he burns easy and fast, my youngest and second son burn like he does too. We bought this to help soothe their sunburns, and the little that the rest of us got.

It helped soothe the burn, and any itching the burning caused. The one in the picture is our second bottle. It dries well and does not dry stiff, it cools and soothes and helps the healing of the skin.

My husband bought this a few years back for his son after he suffered terrible sunburn. He had some big water bags on his back. So we used this product to help. one day,years later I decided to give this a try to moisturize my face at night because I have been suffering from terrible uneven, acne skin, and boy, I am so happy I did.

This product has made my face super smooth and acne free. It is even evening out my complexion. I just exfoliate my face then tone it with some face toner then rub a little bit of after sun on my face.

You have to keep your eyes close when rubbing close to your eyes,because your eyes burns from the strong scent. Somehow?. But this along with drinking 4 to 6 glasses of hot or warm water a day. And for 2 weeks I did a baking soda and lemon detox.

You can use apple cider vinger too in a small glass of hot water. My skin is glowing and I feel amazing.

This after Sun aloe vera soothing gel lotion is amazing. It cools my sunburn down as well as soothes and moisturizes my skin. I would definitely recommend this for anybody that will be out in the sun for hours.

The best for after sun exposure. This is from the Ulta brand that you know and trust. This is so relieving on your sun exposure or sun burn. It helps fade the burn and lessen the redness. It also helps hydrate the skin.

Highly recommend! You need this!.

My husband needed some aloe for his burnt head and I found this at Ulta. This really helped soothe the burn and actually helped reduce peeling. I’ve now used it on both my kids and myself. It has a nice fresh smell and doesn’t feel tacky.

I bring it on all our beach vacations.

Got this for my husband’s sunburn. For the price, it was effective and soothing. I cannot tell you how GOOD it smells. I would use this scent as an every day lotion – which was a plus for me. The substance wasn’t sticky and was easily rubbed in.

Happy with our purchase!.
