Hence, everyone in general and youngsters in particular are very cautious about beauty of their face. Acne vulgaris (A.V) is a disease of the pilosebaceous origin that causes non-inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules and nodules) and varying degrees of scarring. In <em>Ayurveda</em> <em>Yauvanapidika</em> (Acne vulgaris) is such a condition that disfigures the face during adolescent to younger age. If the condition remains untreated, it leaves permanent scars over the face. According to <em>Ayurveda</em>, vitiation of <em>Kapha Dosha, Vata Dosha</em> and <em>Rakta Dhatu</em> lead to development of <em>Mukhadushika or Yauvanapidika </em>which have resemblance with acne vulgaris in modern texts. Both modern and <em>Ayurvedic</em> sciences have considered the use of topical as well as oral medicines and their combination for the management of acne vulgaris. No doubt modern medication provides quick relief from acne vulgaris but cause noticeable side effects. Nowadays herbal formulations and Ayurvedic therapy are the superior choices for cosmetic purposes among the most of the population.
