Abstract

Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis are pus forming bacteria that trigger inflammation in acne while Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the supportive agents for acne. The present study was conducted to compare the anti-acne activity of Azdirachta indica and Aloe barbadensis miller. Various extracts of Azadiracta indica and Aloe barbadensis miller were tested for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method and well diffusion method. It is concluded that Aloe barbadensis miller extracts has greater zone of inhibition against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus in comparison to Azadirachta indica extracts. On the other hand Aloe barbadensis miller extracts and Azadirachta indica extracts showed the maximum zone of inhibition against acne causing agents e.g. S. epidermidis and P. acnes. So, Azadirachta indica has better choice for anti-acne activity as compared to Aloe barbadensis miller.
