Basically,
anyone who hasn't tried it knocks it, claiming that you can just use pure aloe vera or other companies' products that have the special aloe ferox (like "ferocious" aloe plant) extract or gel in them.
turns out those people that bought aloe ferox gels from companies other than veld's were disappointed, the product contains alcohol, it wasn't effective, etc. evidently veld's is an 'euuitable' business which means that they only use the highest ingredients and treat their employees really well.

many others who've tried it claim its an excellent makeup base, certainly rehydrates and plumps up the skin (whereas aloe vera for the same people dried them out or made them break out), and smooths the skin out. other people reported firming action. a couple people broke out from it, but most really liked it/ everyone seeemed to concur that it acts like a barrier, sealing in the moisture content of the skin, and most everyone thinks of it as a 'serum' to put underneath moisturizer and/or makeup. hth!

I was also curious as to the difference between Aloe Ferox and Aloe Vera and I found this info:

"What Are The Key Differences In Ferox And Vera?

Most if not all Aloe Vera producers filter or chemically neutralise their product to remove the 'aloin' content which originates from the leaf of the plant.

Aloin in small doses can help with skin related problems but in larger quantities and taken internally can be responsible for a number of complaints including abdominal pains, diarrhoea and even haemorrhoids.

The Aloe Vera pulp, (the middle white part of the plant), is very soft. The aloin from the outer leaves of the plant penetrates into the white pulp.

As Ferox is physically a much stronger plant the middle of the plant is equally robust and does not allow any aloin to enter.

This is the reason Ferox does not need to be filtered and retains all the naturally present active ingredients, such as polysaccharides, many of which are lost in Vera through filtration.

Chemical neutralisation is often chosen by Aloe Vera producers as an alternative to filtration. This is also an inferior option. Neutralisation is an unnatural process and leaves unwanted residuals in the juice."

Today I received my sample of Ferox. I told EDS not to send me any other samples but just a few of Ferox as I just had to try it.

It is AWESOME!!!!!! Dancing

I applied it at noon today. It is now 8PM. My face looks plumber, smoother, and lifted Very Happy

. Crows feet and nasal labial lines less visable.Granted this is only a temporary fix for a woman my age but I will gladly take it. The directions say to to apply to clean skin if you have normal to oily skin type. During the summer I fall into the normal/oily category. Once applied my skin feels hydrated but not one bit oily.

I will continue using this for a few days and do a full review.

IMO Ferox is for the mature woman/man who is losing elasticity. Love it on my neck.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like another product to add to my growing list! My skin looks great in the morning, but as the day wears on, it's just downhill on moisture.
Have you applied Vit C beneath it?

I think it best to apply Ferox over Vit. C. C Serums sink right into my skin. After I apply my C I will wait several minutes before applying Ferox. Will do the same with my Copper Peptides. Right now I am sampling the Ferox. Once I buy a full size Rolling Eyes

I will play around and see what works best.

Winnie, I realise you are inundated with questions at the moment but your raves are getting attention. Can you tell me what the consistency is like and does it absorb quickly? Considering your responses so far to your samples, I think this might be something I should try.

bushy the consistency is much like aloe but thinner. It is a clear gel. A pea size seems to do my whole face. On application it felt a tiny bit sticky until it absorbed (1-2 minutes tops). From the card that the sample was attached to I think they suggest using more then I did. Actually I needed very little to get nice results.
