Evidence by route

Topical application

Weak evidence. In vitro data, open-label studies, or expert consensus.

Systematic reviews of burns and minor wounds show moderate healing effects. Evidence for acne and photoaging is weak. Gel standardization across manufacturers is difficult – composition varies widely with processing.
