Abstract

Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a common skin condition, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland via androgen stimulation. In the present study six new anti-acne compositions were made for the treatment of acne and their efficacy was studied on the volunteers of age group of 20 - 28 years via topical applications. Particular emphasis was placed on treating acne conditions without drying and irritating the skin.

 

Key words: Acne vulgaris, pilosebaceous units, Aloe vera, bismuth subnitrate, stearic acid.
