Objective
To determine the potential active compounds, therapeutic targets, and main pathways of the JinGuanLan (JGL) formula to evaluate its application value in acne vulgaris.
Conclusions
JinGuanLan (JGL) formula might reverse the pathological changes associated with acne vulgaris through its antiinflammatory effect and regulate the excessive lipogenesis in sebaceous glands via different signalling pathways.
