Herbal Treatments for Acne Vulgaris: Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Emerging Trends in India and Beyond

Author(s) Prankit Mishra, Shubham Maurya, Raunak Tiwari
Country India
Abstract Acne vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting millions worldwide, remains a significant dermatological challenge due to its complex etiology and variable response to conventional therapies. In recent years, the limitations of synthetic treatments—such as antibiotic resistance and adverse effects like skin irritation—have fueled a resurgence of interest in herbal medicine. This review
explores the efficacy, underlying mechanisms, and emerging trends of herbal treatments for acne vulgaris, with a particular focus on India’s rich botanical heritage alongside global advancements. Drawing from peer-reviewed literature published after 2020, we examine key herbs such as neem (Azadirachta indica), turmeric (Curcuma longa), and tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), analyzing
their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and sebum-regulating properties. Clinical evidence fromङ
randomized controlled trials, in vitro studies, and systematic reviews highlights the therapeutic potential of these botanicals, often rivaling conventional options with fewer side effects. Beyond efficacy, this paper delves into innovative delivery methods like nano-formulations and the integration of herbal remedies into modern cosmeceuticals, reflecting a dynamic shift in dermatological care. In
India, the influence of Ayurveda and regulatory frameworks like AYUSH underscores a unique synergy between tradition and science, while global trends point toward sustainable and personalized approaches. Despite promising outcomes, challenges such as standardization and limited high-quality
data persist. This review synthesizes over 100 recent studies, offering a comprehensive roadmap for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to advance herbal interventions in acne management.
