Abstract

INTRODUCTION

According to studies, skin problems such as irritations (rashes), acne and pimples are usually caused by bacteria-or germ-infection, while hyperpigmentation is due to the overproduction of melanin or overexposure to the harmful rays of the sun. in the Philippines, Duhat and Calamansi fruits grow everywhere. Thus, the researchers used the leaf extract of Duhat and juice of calamansi in creating a skin cream treatment for skin irritation that can be an effective alternative to skin creams available in the market. The study mainly focuses on creating a cheap and effective treatment for common skin problems such as skin irritation, acne, pimple, and hyperpigmentation.

METHODS

Theexperimental method of research was used in the study to determine if Du-Si cream can be as effective as the commercially produced cream treatment available in the market.

RESULTS

Based on the results of the effectivity tests administered to students of Calamba Bayside Integrated School, Du-Si Cream is 100 % effective in terms of its healing property but it still needs improvement in texture.

DISCUSSIONS

The results of the findings of the favorability and acceptability tests administered to students proved that Du-Si Cream is highly favorable in terms of odor and color, but it needs improvement in texture. The results also show that it is highly effective in treating skin irritation, thereby rejecting the null hypothesis. The findings also indicate that despite the unusual combination of Duhat leaves extract and calamansi juice, it did not cause any side effects to the respondents. The researchers, therefore, conclude that Du-Si cream can be helpful to financially-challenged people who are experiencing skin irritations. This cream can be an alternative to the expensive skin cream treatments in the market. However, caution must be observed especially to those who have allergies to herbal medicines.
