Herbal extracts have recently received considerable interest in acne therapy owing to their enhanced skincompatibility compared with antibiotics and synthetic agents. In this study, electrospun poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan (PVA/CS) fibrous patch incorporating a combination of herbal extracts with complementary mechanisms of action was developedas an alternative acne therapy for patients with resistance to the conventional treatments. The herbal extracts-loadedelectrospun fibers displayed uniform and smooth-surfaced nanofibers (dia. 100-300 nm), high drug loading efficiency (89.5-97.7 %) and good water absorbing properties. Results of the in vitro release and antibacterial studies suggest the patches arecapable of sustained release of polyphenol-rich extracts, which may, together with the chitosan present in the fiber, endow thepatch with potent bacterial inhibition of Propionibacterium acnes. The herbal extracts-loaded patches exhibited pronouncedclinical therapeutic efficacy in treating mild-to-moderate facial acne by rapidly reducing inflamed lesions and restoringepidermal barrier. Also, the herbal patches demonstrated improved biocompatibility or tolerability in comparison with thesynthetic drug benzoyl peroxide. Overall, the present study has provided a facile approach to develop biocompatiblepolymers based electrospun fibrous patch for the efficient delivery of herbal extracts for topical skin therapy, opening newperspectives for a new generation of cosmetotextiles.
