Experimental studies were conducted in four groups of rabbits using external ear canal for inducing comedogenesis and its correction by a herbal formulation, viz., SK-AC cream. The result brought out that the SK-AC cream restricted the comedogenesis induced by acetylated lanolin alcohol when compared with other defined groups. Microcomedo being the basic pathology of acne, the outcome of this experiment pointed out the usefulness of SK-AC cream for the treatment of acne.
