Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition that affects individuals of all ages, often leading to inflammation, scarring, and psychological distress. Herbal formulations have gained popularity as effective alternatives to synthetic treatments due to their minimal side effects and holistic benefits. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of an herbal anti-acne cream incorporating natural ingredients with proven antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Key components such as Neem (Azadirachta indica), Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis), Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), and Turmeric (Curcuma longa) were selected based on their traditional and scientific efficacy in acne management. The prepared formulation was assessed for physicochemical properties, stability, and antimicrobial activity against acne-causing bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. The findings indicate that the herbal cream demonstrated significant antibacterial potential, improved skin hydration, and reduced acne lesions with consistent use. The study highlights the potential of herbal formulations as safe and effective alternatives for acne treatment, encouraging further clinical exploration.
