Maybe you're skin isn't meant for it. Or you could be having an allergic reaction.
Whatever it is, I'd say if it's irritating you, don't use it anymore.

your probably using to much and to often.. i know aloe gel is great for healing.. and motorizing.. if you taking the plant and squishing the gel out and rubbing it on.. maybe it's something in the plants soil? like growing aid or fertilizer.
it could be your over exfoliating.. just rubbing your face takes off skin cells if you do that everyday.. and use face wash or shower and wash your face its just to much and dries your skin out witch can make more oils..
i have had acne skin on my chest and face and back from grade 4- to age 20.. just this month its all going away.. sometimes its better to not touch your face at all.. i stopped using gels and soaps on it.. the most i did was remove flakes.. but its so much better natural with NO MAKEUP
