Abstract
Pimple is a small inflammation or swelling of the skin that may or may not be filled with pus. Pimples are due to over activity of the oil glands located at the base of the hair follicles, especially on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Propionibacterium acnes are responsible for pimple formation.
In this study seven popular anti pimple face wash samples were collected from the market and evaluated against Propionibacterium acnes. All the results were encouraging and demonstrated efficacy against the test organism and are briefed in detail.
