The pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is multifactorial, including increased sebum production, comedogenesis and Propionibacterium acne proliferation. P. acnes plays an important role not only in the process of inflammation but in the formation of comedones. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-microbial activity of botanical extracts and essential oils against P. acnes. The results from the microdilution broth method showed that 16 botanical extracts (rosemary, duzhong, cinnamon, cumin seeds, clove, cardamom, mate, rose, orengano, licorice, lilium, green tea, sweet olive, black tea, Chinese cedar, and European verbena) and 3 essential oils (citronella oil, eucalyptus oil, and basil oil) could inhibit effectively the growth of P. acnes in vitro. The extracts of selected vegetables and fruits did not inhibit P. acnes growth (MIC> 8 mg/mL). The further study is needed to investigate the effect of botanical extracts on P. acnes lipase activity.
