Abstract:
Acne impacts the skin that has a high concentration of sebaceous follicles, primarily in places such as the face, chest, and back. Acne may manifest as either inflammatory or non-inflammatory types. The study was conducted with the aim of formulating and characterizing an anti-acne cream that incorporates a botanical extract. There are several topical treatments available on the market that disrupt the pigmentation process at various stages. The cream was then tested to determine its effectiveness in reducing blemishes caused by stress. The solubility, pH, particle size, grittiness, viscosity, stability, phase separation, shelf life, and spreadability of the manufactured cream were assessed, and it was determined to be stable. The result included the extracts into a cream formulation, making certain that the cream had a pH that was appropriate for the skin, as well as a texture and color that were attractive to the eye. Furthermore, we were able to attain the optimal viscosity, which allowed for smooth application and absorption into the skin. The effectiveness of the anti-acne cream that was developed was evaluated in order to study the antibacterial qualities that it had. It is necessary for a cream to contain ideal qualities and to keep its stability over a long period of time in order to attain efficient skin penetration capabilities. It was concluded that formulation AH2 was the most suitable option after conducting an analysis of physical parameters such as spreadability, pH, viscosity, and antibacterial activity. The herbal anti-acne composition has been determined to not only cure acne but also effectively and affordably prevent this condition.
