SURVEY REPORT ON COMPARATIVE TREATMENT OF HERBAL AND SYNTHETIC FOR ACNE PORE TREATMENT

Bacterial infections, clogged pores, and excessive sebum production are the causes of acne. Around 20% of people globally and up to 80–90% of teenagers suffer with acne vulgaris, a prevalent dermatological disorder. It appears when sebaceous glands overproduce sebum, or oil, which clogs pores when combined with dead skin cells. As a result, Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes) bacteria can develop in an anaerobic environment. Inflammation brought on by the bacterial activity might result in papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. Acne can be made worse by hormone imbalance, stress, high-glycemic diets, and bad skincare practices. The two main categories of treatments are herbal (plant-based) and synthetic (chemical-based).
