Author(s):

Premjeet Ranjan and Sapna Pandey

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to create and assess a gel that treats acne by mixing salicylic acid and orange-peel extract. Salicylic acid is a frequently utilized chemical that aids in pore unclogging and dead skin cell removal. Natural antibacterial and antioxidant components found in orange peel may help lower acne-causing germs. To moisturize and calm the skin, Aloe Vera was used. Several criteria, including pH, spreadibility, homogeneity, and stability, were assessed after the gel was produced using Carbopol -934. The findings demonstrated that the gel was stable without phase separation, had a smooth texture, and had an appropriate pH of 6.1. This study suggest that the formulation might work well and safely for mild to moderate acne. This study focuses on formulating and evaluating a stable, pH-balanced anti-acne gel combining salicylic acid, orange peel extract, and Aloe Vera for exfoliating, antibacterial, and soothing effects.
