Formulation, Development and Evaluation of Peel-off Face Mask

Abstract

One of the most prevalent skin conditions among teenagers, acne has a significant negative impact on people's mental well-being and leads to expensive medical expenses. Acne, dark skin, wrinkles, and other issues relating to facial skin can all be treated using peel-off masks. The skin can be cleansed and moisturized using it. The majority of peel-off masks are made using polymers in gel form, which can adhere to skin in thin layers resulting in removal of dead skin. The present work deals with the development and evaluation of the topical peel-off gel mask containing a single herbal powdered drug Sapota and other chemical reagents such as polymers, Carbopol and Sodium.

The anti-acne skincare cream was found to be safe and not caused any irritation. The study's findings imply that using the anti-acne skincare cream topically to people with mild-to-moderate acne was both safe and effective, and that it might be used as an optional addition to acne treatments.

The formulation is optimum for all the parameters. Due to high antioxidants potential of sapota, it provides an anti-aging activity by removing free radicals from the body, while the gel also showed good results for all the evaluation parameters. Therefore, this peel-off gel mask containing sapota would be a good alternative to the synthetic gels for cleansing, moisturizing and anti-acne properties.
