Aloe vera is not proven to cure pimples, but it can ease some discomfort associated with pimples. Aloe is a water-based substance that is thick and gel-like. It can sometimes clog pores, if a lot is used. Make sure to gently clean your skin before applying any ointment to a sore or pimple. I recommend using a gentle face wash daily (something with salicylic acid is good), taking care to avoid sensitive areas (like the eyes) and applying sunscreen when you go outside. Avoid shaving over pimples, as they can leave scars and dimples later on. Take care to not scrub your face too hard, as that can just worsen and aggravate pimples.
