Study summary

This 12- week, single-center, open-label case study is being conducted to assess the efficacy and tolerance of a brightening skincare regimen comprised of a facial wash, brightening serum, brightening exfoliating pads, face cream and sunscreen by healthy females with clinically determined mild to moderate Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Read the detailed description

At Visit 1, prior to the start of the study, prospective subjects will be screened for eligibility requirements based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be enrolled into the study. Prospective subjects will be given an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) and photography release form (PRF) to read and sign. Subjects will be provided the pre-washout skincare products, written usage instructions, and a daily diary.

At Baseline (Visit 2), subjects will have their face evaluated by a board-certified dermatology for clinical efficacy parameters (skin tone evenness, overall appearance, and PIH) and evaluate tolerability (Erythema, edema, and dryness) parameters. Subjects will then rate the Itching, Burning, and Stinging and complete a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). A clinical staff will take standardized clinical photographs using VISIA® Imaging.

At Visit 3, 4, 5, and 6 dermatologist clinical efficacy and tolerability, as well as subject tolerability assessments will be performed, followed by clinical photography. Subjects will complete an SAQ before the visit ends.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Improvement of Clinical Efficacy Parameters at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks versus Baseline

    A board-certified dermatologist will grade skin tone evenness, overall appearance, and PIH at baseline and at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. Skin tone evenness and overall appearance will be graded using the modified Griffiths 10-point scale (0 = Even healthy skin color; 9 = Uneven, discolored appearance), while PIH will be measured using a 4-point investigator global assessment scale (0 = clear, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe). Higher scores indicate greater severity of the respective skin condition, where a decrease in score indicates an improvement.

    Time frame: Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 compared to baseline

  2. Measurement of subject self assessment questionnaire

    Subjects will complete a self-assessment questionnaire which will consist of a series of questions related to subjects' evaluation of product efficacy and attributes. Subjects are asked to rate based on a scoring system of the following: from 5 (completely agree) to 1 (completely disagree). The best outcome is to Completely Agree with the statement / question being asked.

    Time frame: Baseline, weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Lack of Significant Increase in Objective Tolerability Parameters at weeks, 2, 4, 8, 12 compared to Baseline

    Clinical grading of Objective Irritation Parameters (Erythema, Edema, and Dryness) evaluated by investigator and subject reporting of Subjective Irritation Parameters (Burning, Stinging, Itching) using a 4 point scale: 0 = None to 3 = Severe. A change in scores or lack of significant change at week 2, 4, 8 and 12 compared to Baseline indicates tolerability/safety of the test material. A lower score indicating a better outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline, weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2026 to primary completion in Jul 2026, 4 months.

Of 28 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Hyperpigmentation, half reached primary completion within 3 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 7. This study's 4 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 65 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 20.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
