ABSTRACT: Background:Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn is a deciduous tree with saponins as the main active ingredients and has been utilized in medicine and cosmetic industries. Currently, the investigations of S. mukorossi mainly focus on the pericarp and seed kernel parts, while other parts are yet to be studied and developed. This study aimed to investigate the anti-acne potential of S. mukorossi flower water extract (SMFW) by in vitro experiments. Methods and Results: The DPPH, ABTS, superoxide anion radical scavenging assay, and FRAP assay revealed the strong antioxidant activities of SMFW. The antibacterial activity of SMFW against Cutibacterium acnes has been evaluated with an inhibition diameter of 14.08 ± 0.63 mm. Furthermore, SMFW significantly inhibited
