  • Background : Acne is inflammatory disease due to blockage in pilosebasea and triggered by bacteria propionibacterium acnes. Sumbawa horse milk is the best antibacterial activity good as it is tested with some bacteria test by comparing cow’s milk. Objective : This research is aimed to investigate the usage comparison of Sumbawa horse milk in the level of 2,5%, 5% and 10% with a carbomer gel base 2% towards characteristic of physical, chemical, and antibacterial activity using Propionibacterium acnes bacteria (a bacteria causing acne). Method : The method applied in this research was the experimental to compare 3 formulas with different horse milk concentration then analyzes the physical and chemical characteristics and antibacterial activity. Result and Conclusion : All formulas have the same characteristics are white colour, soft texture, and typical horse milk scent. pH all formula respectively are 6,67, 6,41, and 6,31. Result of viscosity are 12666 cPs, 13366 cPs, and 14133 cPs. While the result of the spreadabillity are 0,013 g/cm, 0,011 g/cm, 0,008 g/cm. The results of the antibacterial activity test of horse milk gel do not have antibacterial activity against the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria which is indicated by the absence of inhibition zones around the wells.
