My skin became flaky after i applied aloevera gel

I recently bought an aloevera gel as my moisturiser but the 2nd time i use it, it seems like my cheeks are flaky after applying aloevera gel. It kinda seems like the flaky thing is just the aloevera gel because it disappears if i apply water on it. Is it okay to experience this?

Aloe vera doesn't agree with me. It's better now but some years ago I experienced hives when I applied to my skin. Also a very extreme reaction once I drank aloe vera juice. Some years ago it was very popular to put aloe vera (high quantities or instead water) in many products here in Europe and I had a hard time finding creams that didn't contain it. Now its over here but many k beauty cosmetics contain it. 😩

Hmmm maybe that contains alcohol? You can try another aloe vera or use another products for soothing like cica, madecassoside or snail products

I think what you are experiencing is piling. It depends on the order of skincare you put onto your face. Also vigorous rubbing onto the skin will cause it to flake with certain formulations of aloe Vera gel.
