A:  Hello, Studies show Aloe Vera has beneficial properties, such as providing hydration to the skin and promoting a refreshed healthy appearance. Aloe Vera is best known for cooling and soothing skin after prolonged sun exposure but can also be used for other topical treatments, such as stretch marks. We hope this information is helpful.

A:  Although no one can give medical advice and only your doctor can tell you for sure, but the gel is used for the skin area and is healing. It is contained in many lotions but they have other chemicals as well. To what extent it will work for you ,one cannot say for sure, of course. I do know doctors have recommended the aloe vera plant, but everyone is different with various skin types. Could ask your doctor if for any reason you are not sure your skin is able to handle it. This is a 'natural product' and if you are not allergic , ( which most are not) it should work alright for you . Perhaps trying a tiny area of skin first, could help to know if it will work for you or not? Am not familiar with how it works on stretch marks , but as a whole it is good for the skin.
