Study on the application of Aloe vera in cosmetology and clinical treatment of skin diseases

The medicinal value of Aloe vera (AV) has been continuously explored and utilized in recent years, becoming a research hotspot. Some basic studies have found that AV had cosmetic effects such as whitening, sun protection, antioxidant, anti-aging, and moisturizing. Some clinical trials have found that AV had medical effects such as antibacterial, anti-damage, and promoting wound healing. In this work, we summarized the indications and therapeutic efficacy of AV in cosmetology and clinical treatment of dermatosis, in order to provide certain inspiration for the development of new AV-based skincare products and new medicines for skin diseases.
