Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial inflammatory skin disorder affecting approximately 80–90% of adolescents worldwide. It involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, microbial colonization, and inflammation. Conventional anti-acne treatments, including antibiotics and retinoids, are associated with side effects such as irritation, dryness, and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there is growing interest in herbal formulations as safer alternatives.
The present study aims to formulate and evaluate a herbal anti-acne gel using extract of Rubia cordifolia obtained through Soxhlet extraction. The extract was incorporated into a Carbopol-based gel and evaluated for physicochemical parameters such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, and antimicrobial activity.
The results demonstrated that the formulation possessed suitable physical characteristics and exhibited significant antibacterial activity against acne-causing microorganisms. Soxhlet extraction enhanced the yield and concentration of bioactive compounds, improving the overall efficacy of the gel. The study concludes that herbal formulations containing Manjistha extract can be considered effective and safe alternatives for acne management.
