As a scientist, the properties of <em>Aloe vera </em>has always been interesting to me, mainly because there are so many undocumented / placebo effect from this plant. However, not all of them are placebo, and some effects has been proven by science. </p>\n<p>After digging around for an anti-acne property of aloe vera, my results show that this seems unlikely. There are studies done on this matter that showed no / extremely low difference between the treatment and control group of the experiment that looked into this. </p>\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about the science behind finding out if aloe vera can treat acne, then the following scientific article can be useful: https://scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=ajcn.2014.29.34</p>\n<p>These researchers say that \" In conclusion, oral <a href=\"http://www.scialert.net/asci/result.php?searchin=Keywords&cat=&ascicat=ALL&Submit=Search&keyword=Aloe+vera\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Find more articles at http://www.scialert.net/asci/result.php?searchin=Keywords&cat=&ascicat=ALL&Submit=Search&keyword=Aloe+vera (Aloe vera)\"><em><strong>Aloe vera</strong></em></a> juice may be helpful in decreasing noninflamed and total facial acne lesion counts in patients with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris, this beneficial effect is not significant when compared to controls\", but if you look at their p-value you can see that it's very, very high, so I think this statement is a big leap. It would be interesting to see this experiment done with more participants to see if there's even a minor improvement with aloe vera treatment. </p>\n<p>Anyway, I hope this was helpful, and unfortunately it seems like aloe vera might not be the best treatment for acne.. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3t93chh5","appParentAuthor":"kwadjobonsu","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
