Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hello....this is my first post but I apprecate all of the information I have been getting from this wonderful group! Thanks a million! Anyway, I was looking for some aloe vera gel and couldn't find any in the store I was in. But they did have some stuff called Solarcaine Aloe Extra Burn Relief. It says that it is for " fast relief of pain and itch from sunburn, minor burns,cuts, scrapes and insect bites. " I have used this a few times when my face is flushed and feeling like it is on fire. It calms the heat and diminishes the redness, at least for a while. The active ingrediant is Lidocaine Hydrocloride 0.5%. My question is.....is this going to cause more harm in the future? Thanks in advance for any info. Teri aka TeeSue1957@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Try to look for Aloe Vera with the first ingredient being Aloe instead of water. Grocery stores carry it in their tanning lotion section, pharmacy has some on sale right now. I use it all over after swimming or working outside. > Anyway, I was looking for some aloe vera gel and couldn't find any in > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using it for over a year and I've found it beneficial. It's 99% aloe vera and citric acid is the last ingredient on the list.
