Clinical Trial Description

This is a single blind (outcomes assessor), randomized, 2 cell, full face study to evaluate changes in mild malar melasma through use of a cosmetic facial serum formulation or marketed 2% hydroquinone. This study will accept up to fifty participants per cell (100 participants overall) who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria to ensure that at least forty participants per cell complete the study. Participants will be randomized to receive either the cosmetic product or the hydroquinone product. The study schedule will be different depending which product the subject is allocated to. If accepted onto the study, all participants will be provided with a marketed face wash and moisturiser to use for one week before the baseline visit. At the baseline visit, following collection of baseline measures subjects will be allocated to either the cosmetic product or 2% hydroquinone. Products will be applied only to lesional areas on the face twice daily. Participants will also be provided with a sunscreen for use throughout the test phase of the study. They will continue to use the face wash and moisturiser with which they have previously been provided. Participants allocated to the cosmetic product will be asked to return to the study centre for assessments at weeks 4, 8, 12 and regression (8 weeks after stopping product application). Participants allocated to 2% hydroquinone will be asked to return to the study centre 3 days, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after baseline and regression 8 weeks after stopping product application). ;
