Although Acne does not create serious threat to health, it is one kind of socially distressing condition especially for adolescents. Another serious visual problem in human beings is skin darkening of different shapes and at different locations, known as Melasma. It occurs exclusively in sun-exposed areas which results increase of pigmentation. It is brownish to dark in colour, and UV exposure, pregnancy hormonal change; use of oral contraceptives and certain anti-epilepsy drugs aggravate the condition. The conventional therapy for Acne and Melasma includes prolonged use of synthetic chemicals, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents that are identified to cause many side effects. Therefore, traditional or herbal formulations are preferred in recent days. In this present study, 60 patients (17 for Acne, 13 for Melasma and 30 for placebo) were taken under a randomized double blind clinical control trial by a polyherbal formulation named MSP-R. After one month of treatment, significant improvement was observed for both cases. So this medicinal plant formulation may be considered as an effective approach to treat Acne and Melasma and its associated complications.
