Other | Change in perception of melasma as assessed using MelasQOL | Quality of life questionnaire specifically developed for use with melasma | 0 - 12 weeks + regression (8 weeks) | |
Primary | Change in L* | CIELAB colour space L* (perceptual lightness), measured using Konica Minolta CM-2600d portable spectrophotometer | 0 - 12 weeks + regression (8 weeks) | |
Primary | Change in modified Melasma Area Severity Index (mMASI) | Melasma severity on four facial areas (forehead, right malar region, left malar region and chin) is assessed based on three variables: percentage of the total area involved (A), darkness (D), and homogeneity (H).
Area (A): a numerical value is assigned to % area involved as follows. 0=no involvement; 1=<10% ; 2=10-29%; 3=30-49%; 4=50-69%; 5=70-89%; and 6=90-100%. Darkness of melasma (D) is graded on a scale of 0 to 4: 0=normal skin color without evidence of hyperpigmentation; 1=barely visible hyperpigmentation; 2=mild hyperpigmentation; 3=moderate hyperpigmentation; 4=severe hyperpigmentation. Homogeneity of hyperpigmentation (H) is graded on a scale of 0 to 4 as follows: 0=normal skin color without evidence of hyperpigmentation; 1=specks; 2=small patchy areas <1.5 cm diameter; 3= >2 cm diameter; 4=uniform skin involvement without any clear areas. The sum of D and H is multiplied by A and by the percentages of the four facial areas (10-30%). Total score is 0-48. |

Secondary | Change in evenness of skin tone | Evenness of skin tone as assessed through analysis of images captured using the Canfield Scientific VISIA-CR imaging system | 0 - 12 weeks + regression (8 weeks) | |
Secondary | Change in visual skin glow | Composite parameter calculated using output from CM2600d and VISIA-CR | 0 - 12 weeks + regression (8 weeks) |
