Stratification of patients will be performed based on age, gender, and BMI, With the help of Winpepi software (V 11.6), Blinding description: The patient receives the drug or placebo in sealed envelopes that are coded. Coding is done by one of the colleagues of the project and the medicine, evaluator, and patient will be blinded.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Acne vulgaris.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients undergo clinical studies before starting the treatment, and the condition of their skin lesions is recorded using a high-contrast digital camera to accurately count and identify the type of lesions. Then, patients in the intervention group are prescribed a wash containing the essential oil trapped in chitosan beads. It should be noted that the intervention group will not be deprived of basic antibiotic treatment and washing agents will be prescribed as auxiliary treatment. Before starting the study and at the end of the 8th week after the start of treatment for all patients, the acne severity scoring system (GAGS) ) the global acne grading system is performed. In this system, 6 areas are examined: the forehead, right cheek, left cheek, nose, chin, and the upper part of the trunk. And the nodule has 4 points. The presence of each of these signs on the chin and nose will be worth 1 point each, the forehead and each of the cheeks will be worth 2 points, and the chest and the back of the shoulders will be worth 3 points each. Finally, the overall grade of the severity of the disease was obtained from the product of the number and score of each lesion in their location and finally the sum of the resulting numbers. A score of 1 to 18 is mild acne, 19 to 30 is moderate acne, 31 to 38 is severe acne, and more than 39 is very severe acne. Intervention 2: Control group: Patients undergo clinical studies before starting the treatment, and the condition of their skin lesions is recorded using a high-contrast digital camera to accurately count and identify the type of lesions. Then, patients in the control group will be randomly prescribed an herbal cleanser containing essential oil without chitosan seeds. It should be noted that the control group will not be deprived of basic antibiotic treatment and washing agents will be prescribed as auxiliary treatment. Before starting the study and at the end of the 8th week after starting the treatment for all patients, scoring of acne severity based on the system (GAGS) The global acne grading system is done. In this system, 6 areas are examined: forehead, right cheek, left cheek, nose, chin and the upper part of the trunk. First, each lesion is scored according to its severity: according to this system, the presence of comedone 1, papule 2, pustule. 3, and the nodule has 4 points. The presence of each of these signs on the chin and nose will be worth 1 point each, the forehead and each of the cheeks will be worth 2 points, the chest and the back of the shoulders will be worth 3 points each. Finally, the overall grade of the severity of the disease was obtained from the product of the number and score of each lesion in their location and finally the sum of the resulting numbers. A score of 1 to 18 is mild acne, 19 to 30 is moderate acne, 31 to 38 is severe acne, and more than 39 is very severe acne.</i_freetext>
