Summary
Acne vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, is one of the most prevalent diseases
that effects more than 80% of the population worldwide (1). A variety of factors such as
genetics, hormones, infections, as well as environmental factors have been identified as the
causes of acne development (2). Acne usually generates as a result of blockage in the
pilosebaceous unit (including hair follicle, hair shaft, and sebaceous gland) due to the
over-produced sebum by sebaceous gland, which further triggers the excessive proliferation of
the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes (P. Acnes). (3)
