The cream is make in 3 formula, where the first formula as a negative control, second formula is cream of red yeast rice extract and third formula is cream of red yeast ricemicroemulsion. The antioxidant activity tested by DPPH method, the penetrationstrengthtested by Franz difussionmethod and the safety by primary and ocular irritation test.Research results demonstrated that red yeast rice extract had activity as antioxidant with the IC50 value was 2,60 ppm < 50 ppm (strong antioxidant)  and microemulsion cream had penetrationstrength greater than red yeast rice extractcream. And the results of the primary irritation test showed that the cream is very little irritate and the results of the ocular irritation test cream does not irritate the eyes.
