Abstract :
Acne is a common dermatological issue that
affects people all over the world, and it is frequently
treated with synthetic medications and chemicals that
may have negative effects. Due to their perceived safety
and potential usefulness, there has been an increase in
interest in recent times in the creation of natural and
herbal-based formulations as alternatives to traditional
medicines. This paper discusses the creation of anti-acne
gels made from herbal extractions and covers the most
recent trends and research results in this area. These
herbal extracts have a high concentration of bioactive
substances, including polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids,
and terpenoids, which have antibacterial, anti-
inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. The herbal
extracts showed positive anti-acne effects by inhibiting
acne-causing bacteria, lowering inflammation, and
scavenging free radicals. A promising approach for
addressing this widespread dermatological issue while
reducing potential adverse effects related to conventional
therapies is the development of efficient and secure anti-
acne gels from herbal extractions.
