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.
