Objectives: Efficacy of a plant based extract (Fernblock®) as a photoprotective adjuvant in the oral and topical treatment of melasma
Introduction: Melasma is common pigmentary disorder that occurs in sun exposure skin areas. Although its etiology is multifactorial, solar radiation is the most important trigger factor, making your treatment a challenge. All of melasma treatments are based on the use of topical depigmenting compounds or different procedures and broad spectrum sunscreens.
Materials / method: Polypodium leucotomos (PL) is a fern native from Central and South America. Fernblock® an aqueous extract of PL, is a potent antioxidant ingredient with studies that demonstrate its photo and immunoprotective activities against Visible light (VL), Ultraviolet (UVR) and Infrared radiations (IR). Several studies have found that Fernblock® can significantly reduce the severity of sunburn, decrease the risk of UVR induced skin cancer, prevent skin aging and have beneficial effects in pigmentary disorders, like melasma.
Results: Our results demonstrate that Fernblock® is a safe adjuvant treatment that significantly improves and accelerates the outcome reached with hydroquinone and sunscreen.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that Fernblock® is a safe adjuvant treatment that significantly improves and accelerates the outcome reached with hydroquinone and sunscreen.
