The results of this study are peel-off mask can inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus. The clear zone formed is 11.8 mm, which indicates that the peel-off mask has a strong inhibitory power to inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Peel-off masks have a thick texture, white colour, and are easy to peel off when dry. The results of this study provide information for the development of Peel-Off masks as antibacterial, especially for the cosmetic and health fields.
