Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder, and it mainly affects adolescents. It affects more than 85% of the population, age 12-24 years, and it is described as chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous gland with the distribution of the lesions mainly on the face, back, chest, and upper arms. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and oxidative stress play a role in the development of inflammatory, acne lesions. To protect against ROS, the human body has an organized antioxidant system, which works synergistically. Antioxidants protect cells against oxidative damage and can prevent the production of oxidative products. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, where the production of ROS exceeds antioxidant capacity, has the potential to cause damage, which is called oxidative stress. One of the biomarkers of oxidative stress in cells is lipid peroxidation and the end product known as malondialdehyde (MDA). The antioxidants in honey can reduce lesions in acne vulgaris. The experiment results showed the honey decreased malondialdehyde level and reduced lesion in acne vulgaris.
