Thai traditional medicine has relied on the herbal ball to treat a variety of ailments, including acne. However, using the herbal ball in actual practise is difficult and time-consuming. The goal of this research was to create a gel using a herbal ball extract in order to improve the effectiveness of the herbal ball as an acne therapy. The Benchalokawichian cure and powdered stem bark were combined to create a herbal ball. To get the extract, the herbal ball was heated and squeezed.Based on a carbomer gel, gel form ulations containing the herbal ball extract at strengths of 0.1, 1 and 5% w/w were created. The herbal ball extract had minimal bactericidal concentration, antioxidant, and antiactivity. With an inhibitory zone value of 5, the 5% w/w gel formulation demonstrated antibacterial ef ficacy against P. acnes. This suggests that the gel formulation that was produced may be useful for treating acne. The use of herbal ball extract in the form of gel ought to be easier to use than the conventiona l way of using herbal balls.
