SynopsisAcne vulgaris suppresses an individual's self-confidence by causing distress with regard to physical appearance, which affects a significant number of individuals during puberty and is delineated by adolescence. Several treatments have been introduced to decrease the aesthetic and psychological problems caused by acne.

Les ingrédients des traitements topiques de l'acné, particulièrement les plantes et les composés naturels dérivés ont suscité un intérêt considérable par leurs moindres effets indésirables que les ingrédients synthé-tiques.
