<![CDATA[Abstract: During the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesian people were required to wear masks during their daily activities that caused increased duration of wearing masks associated with increased incidence of acne vulgaris. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of masks and acne vulgaris (maskne). This was a literature review study. Sources of information were obtained from journals and research articles in Pubmed, Google Scholar, and the British Journal of Dermatology which discussed the relationship between mask use and maskne. The results obtained 10 literatures with a cross sectional design that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Review of the 10 literatures resulted in a relationship between the use of masks and the occurrence of mask-induced acne (maskne). The distribution of respondents based on the incidence of maskne was most common in women and the type of mask most often used was the surgical mask. The majority of respondents replaced their masks twice daily with duration of use for 4-8 hours. In conclusion, there is a relationship between the use of masks and the occurrence of maskne.
