Acne vulgaris is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases worldwide, characterized by painful, infectious, and inflammatory lesions that impair quality of life through both physical and psychosocial effects [1]. Therefore, the growing demand for safer and more sustainable therapies has driven an increase in bioprospecting of medicinal plants as promising alternatives, particularly to combat antibiotic resistance and minimize side effects [2].
