Acne vulgaris is an extremely common skin disorder that affects virtually all individuals at least once during life. Herbal medications are considered safer than allopathic medicines as allopathic medicines are associated with side effects such as contact allergy, local irritation, scaling, photosensitivity, itching, pruritus, redness, skin peeling etc. In this study the anti-acne property of various herbal extract were reconfirmed.

The characteristics of cream in terms of spreadability, greasiness, tackiness, film forming, softening, comfortable and pleasant were analyzed by skin feel test.The results proved that the chosen formulation also having the effective anti-acne property. So we can suggest the further investigation and in vivo studies will help in developing this formulation as marketed product.
