The research on whether aloe vera contains glycolic acid
The world doubts whether aloe vera contains glycolic acid or not. Aloe vera, a genus of herbs, is often valued by everyone. Its leaves are thick and pulpy, and it is useful in medicine, beauty and other fields.

There are many studies on the relationship between aloe vera and glycolic acid. It may be said that aloe vera contains glycolic acid. Those with glycolic acid are fruit acids and the like, which are very helpful for the metabolism of the skin, can exfoliate, promote cell renewal, and make the skin smooth and shiny. If aloe vera contains it, it will add to the skin care effect. And aloe vera has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory properties, etc., glycolic acid is compatible with it, or it can have better effects.

However, there are also studies that hold different opinions. It is said that the amount of glycolic acid in aloe vera is very small, or even difficult to find. Because the main components of aloe vera are mostly polysaccharides, anthraquinones and other substances. Polysaccharides are the main reasons for moisturizing aloe vera, which can lock water in the skin and keep it hydrated; anthraquinones have significant anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. If the content of glycolic acid is very small, the skin care of aloe vera mostly depends on glycolic acid.

In summary, whether aloe vera contains glycolic acid is still inconclusive. Various studies hold different opinions, or due to differences in research methods, sources and aloe vera categories. To clarify the presence and exact content of glycolic acid in aloe vera, more detailed research is still needed to correct it and add scientific evidence for the use of aloe vera.
