Development and evaluation of cosmeceutical cream for acne vulgaris

The study focused on developing a cosmeceutical cream for treating acne vulgaris, a common skin condition affecting 85-95% of adolescents. The cream contained salicylic acid, known for its keratolytic properties, which helped unclog pores and improve acne treatment. Sensitivity testing showed no allergic reactions or skin irritation, and stability tests indicated no changes in color or phase separation under controlled conditions. The research emphasized microbial quality control and the cream's effectiveness against acne vulgaris, suggesting potential future benefits for skin care and anti-acne treatment.
