Aloe Vera: A systematic review of its clinical effectivenessPublication: British Journal of General Practice. 1999. 49, pp 823-828.
Author: Vogler B.K.; Ernst, E.
One nonrandomised, unblinded study assessed wound healing with polyethylene oxide wound gel or polyethylene oxide wound gel saturated with aloe vera in 17 patients with acne vulgaris. Half-face treatments were carried out so that each patient received both treatments. By day 5, 90% of wounds were healed (complete re-epithelialisation) with aloe vera compared with 40-50% without aloe vera. Wound healing was 72 hours faster with aloe vera.
