What is aloe vera gel?
Aloe vera gel (aloe gel) is a product extracted from the natural herb “Aloe vera”. Its purity is very high, no toxic side effects. It has obvious auxiliary effects on cuts, abrasions, scars of wounds and ulcers, etc. It also has a good anti-inflammatory, sterilizing and cosmetic effect, and is safe and reliable to use.
It also has the effects of activating cell vitality, delaying skin aging, astringent, reconciling the skin, nourishing and protecting the skin.
What is collagen peptide?
Collagen peptide is an extracellular protein. It is composed of two or more amino acids-protein peptides. The human body absorbs in the form of peptides, and the absorption utilization rate of edible protein peptides can reach 100%. Collagen is the most important component of the extracellular matrix.
Collagen peptides have a small molecular weight. Small-molecule collagen peptides have a better absorption and utilization rate than proteins and amino acids of the same composition. Collagen peptide not only has excellent nutrition, but also has good physiological regulation function.

Why is aloe vera gel the best partner for collagen peptides?
After the human body takes in collagen peptides, it is digested into various amino acids and then absorbed. These amino acids are used by the body to synthesize various proteins, including collagen.
Generally speaking, collagen contains more glycine/proline/hydroxyproline than ordinary protein. Especially hydroxyproline is very special, and other proteins basically do not contain this amino acid.
To synthesize collagen, there must be enough raw materials. Even with sufficient raw materials, the synthesis of collagen cannot be fully guaranteed.
At this time, if there is a “tool” that can “tract” these raw amino acids to synthesize collagen, people will have a higher chance of achieving the goal of beauty. This “traction” is aloe vera gel.
Aloe vera gel exerts its effect mainly in four directions
- Aloe gel promotes the establishment of collagen synthesis sites. The more fibroblasts, the more chance of collagen synthesis.
- Aloe gel promotes the expression of type I/III collagen mRNA in fibroblasts. Pull collagen formation from the root.
- Aloe gel promotes the formation of hyaluronic acid, thereby delaying skin aging. This is an effect that cannot be achieved by supplementing collagen alone.
- Aloe gel promotes the secretion of hydroxyproline, which is an amino acid unique to collagen. In other words, the amount of collagen peptides taken can be relatively reduced, and the cost will be lower. The other two raw materials (glycine and proline) can be obtained from general food.
Bottom Line
Aloe vera gel and collagen peptide can be used together to achieve the beauty effect more effectively. Although Aloe gel is a good beauty product, it has a certain sensitization rate, so a sensitivity test is required before use.
