Abstract
Herbal medicine has gained global significance both medically and
economically. Despite its increasing use, concerns persist over the quality,
safety, and effectiveness of these remedies in both developed and developing
nations. Herbal treatments are becoming more accepted due to their avoidance of
common side effects associated with conventional medicines. One strategy to
enhance their efficacy involves preparing extracts and formulations to improve
absorption and distribution of active components in the body. Herbal gel, a
solid jelly-like substance with varying textures, is applied topically for
purposes such as protection, antiseptic action, and antibacterial effects.
Inflammatory acne vulgaris can be treated with systemic and topical
antimicrobials, but their widespread use is linked to the emergence of
resistant pathogens, raising concerns about microorganism resistance and
highlighting the need for alternative non-antimicrobial agents. Anti-acne
solutions using numerous extracts of common Indian plants are now being
developed by a number of global corporations. The purpose of this research is
to review all the studies done in past years on herbal formulations that are
useful in treatment of acne and also review their Physical examination,
washability, skin irritation testing, Spreadability, pH, viscosity,
extrudability, swelling index, and accelerated stability tests.
