Acne is a long-lasting inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit that is brought on by excessive sebum production by the sebaceous glands and aberrant desquamation of hair follicles at the start of adolescence. Follicular distention is a result of follicle obstruction and is frequently accompanied by the growth of the microorganisms Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The purpose of this study was to create and test a polyherbal face wash gel with extracts of Psidium ghuajava l. (Guava), Curcuma longa (Haldi), and distillate of Aloe berbadandis (Aloe Vera).), distillate using HPMC. The goal of this study was to develop an acne treatment using only herbal ingredients as a powerful and secure substitute for dangerous antibiotics. Three plants have been identified as having effective anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties for this purpose. The prepared formulation was assessed for a number of factors, including colour, consistency, consistency, pH, viscosity, and stability studies, and the results were positive. The turbidimetric method was used to examine the in vitro antimicrobial activity for the various formulations (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6) against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, a cause of acne vulgaris. Hence, it was determined that the herbal anti-acne gel's formulation of natural active ingredients can be utilised to treat skin acne.
