Collection: Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is one of nature's most time-tested skin soothers — rich in antioxidants and Vitamins A and C, it calms inflammation, reduces redness, and lightly hydrates without heaviness. Developed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zenovia Gabriel, medical-grade aloe appears throughout this collection to comfort sensitive, reactive, and breakout-prone skin while active ingredients do their work.

What does aloe vera do for your skin?

• Calms redness and inflammation for visibly soothed, comfortable skin.
• Hydrates lightly without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
• Soothes irritation from acne treatments, retinol, and environmental stress.
• Delivers antioxidants that help protect and nourish the skin.

How to use aloe vera in your routine

Because it's so gentle and calming, aloe-based products work well morning and night and are especially valuable when your skin is using stronger actives. Aloe pairs beautifully with acne treatments and retinol — applying an aloe-rich moisturizer after those steps helps prevent dryness and irritation while keeping skin balanced.

• Medical-grade aloe is also woven through many Dr. Zenovia formulas — from cleansers to treatments — to soothe as they renew.

Frequently asked questions about aloe vera

Does aloe vera really help calm irritated, red skin?
Yes. Medical-grade aloe is rich in antioxidants and Vitamins A and C, and it's long valued for calming inflammation and redness while lightly hydrating — making it ideal for sensitive and reactive skin.

Is aloe vera good for acne-prone skin?
Yes. Aloe hydrates without clogging pores and soothes the irritation acne treatments can cause, making it an excellent companion in any acne routine.

Can aloe vera be used with retinol or benzoyl peroxide?
Yes — it's an ideal partner. Applying an aloe-rich moisturizer after these drying actives helps calm irritation and prevent flaking while keeping skin balanced.

Is aloe vera moisturizing enough on its own?
Aloe provides light hydration and is perfect for those who prefer a weightless feel. For very dry skin, layer it over a hydrating serum or pair with a richer ceramide moisturizer.
