Aloe Vera: Although side effects are not common with aloe & it is used to treat some skin conditions, it has the potential to cause skin irritation. Aloe vera is purported to make scalp skin cells healthier & by that mechanism to "promote" healthy hair growth. I can't say if that is accurate or not. However, that does not mean that it would cause facial hair to grow.
