Summary: | Acne is a common but serious skin disease involving the role of the Cutibacterium acnes bacteria.
The irrational use of antibiotics has raised concerns about bacterial resistance. In addition, the longterm use of masks during the Covid-19 pandemic increases the risk of acne in face areas covered
with masks known as 'maskne'. Natural products derived from plants have been an essential
component of skincare since long-ago. One of the natural products that have been widely used and
known to be effective in inhibiting the growth of C. acnes is the tea tree oil, which comes from the
family of Myrtaceae. This literature review focused on examining the potential of plants in the
Myrtaceae family to be developed as candidates for natural anti-acne agents based on analysis of
preclinical microbiological data and several clinical studies that had been conducted. Literature
data searches were carried out from February to May 2021 through search engines on PubMed
Central and ScienceDirect. This literature review has summarized 12 plant species in the Myrtaceae
family that show antibacterial activity against C. acnes, including studies related to rhodomyrtone
isolates from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa and myrtucommulone from Myrtus communis which have
higher antibacterial activity against C. acnes than tea tree oil. Other plants of the Myrtaceae family
that have been summarized also show potential as natural anti-acne candidates which can be
developed by further testing and designing of anti-acne preparation formulations.
