Background: Acne vulgaris is a very common malady of adolescents. It is common enough to be called as a physiological process but is better regarded as a disease due to its inflammatory component and the disfigurement. Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder of pilosebaceous unit that primarily affects the face which if not treated leads to pigmentation. Mukhadushika is a Kshudra Roga which mainly involves Kapha and Vatadosa with Raktha. This is a common illness affecting 80 % of adolescents. Lepa is one of the external therapies explained in Ayurvedic classics. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of Sidharthakadilepa in the management of mukhadushikaw.s.r. to acne vulgaris. Methods: 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. They were given Sidharthakadi Lepa for external application over face for one month. Patients were observed for changes on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day. The response to therapy was evaluated at the end of 28 days by calculating acne lesion score and the efficacy was determined by the percentage reduction in ALS. Results: The analysis revealed that 40% of patients had complete remission, 30% patients showed marked improvement and 30% showed moderate improvement.

We investigated the usefulness of adapalene gel as maintenance therapy following chemical peeling with glycolic acid in patients with acne vulgaris. The study period was 14 weeks. The subjects were 23 patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris (1 male, 22 females). After chemical peeling (CP) of the face was performed 3 times at 2-week intervals, adapalene was applied for 6 weeks using a randomized, double-blind half-side method. On the day of observation, dermatologists examined dermal findings, and measurement was conducted using instruments to analyze the physiological skin function. After the third session of CP was completed, both the inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion counts significantly decreased. Subsequently, on the adapalene-treated side there were no change in the inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion counts after the CP 3 times, but on placebo-treated side, there significant increase in the inflammatory and non inflammatory lesion counts. Concerning the results of measurement with instruments, the sebum capacity significantly decreased after the third session of CP. Subsequently, there were no changes after the 6-week application of adapalene or a placebo. These results suggest that post-CP adapalene application is an effective acne treatment method to improve efficacy and treatment adherence.

Melasma adalah hiperpigmentasi simetris kelainan dengan etiopatogenesis multifaktor diduga akibat interaksi antara faktor genetik, lingkungan, dan juga fototipe kulit. Terapi yang sering digunakan dalam penangganan melasma salah satunya yaitu chemical peeling. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memformulasi AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) Kombinasi BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) dalam sediaan gel dan untuk mengetahui stabilitas gel selama penyimpanan pada suhu 40±2o C. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen. AHA yang digunakan Glycolic Acid 10% dan BHA yang digunakan adalah Salicylic Acid 1% diformulasi menjadi sediaan gel dengan basis karbopol. Sediaan gel dilakukan uji stabilitas selama 21 hari dan dilakukan stabilitas dipercepat metode cycling test dengan menyimpan sediaan gel pada suhu 5±2 oC selama 24 jam, lalu dipindahkan ke dalam oven yang bersuhu 40±2oC selama 24 jam. Perlakuan ini terhitung 1 siklus dan dilakukan sebanyak 6 siklus (12 hari). Selanjutnya dilakukan pengamatan organoleptik, homogenitas, daya sebar, daya lekat, daya tercuci dan viskositas. Hasil uji stabilitas menunjukkan sediaan gel kombinasi AHA dengan BHA baik secara fisik, homogenitas, daya sebar, daya tercuci, viskositas dan pH selama 21 hari penyimpanan, tetapi tidak stabil pada pengujian cycling test karena terjadi perubahan stabilitas sediaan pada parameter viskositas dan pH. Pengaruh kombinasi konsentrasi pada sediaan gel terhadap stabilitas sediaan gel mempengaruhi pH dan viskositas.
