Introduction: Acne-induced post inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH) is a frequent, difficult to treat, condition. Topical treatments used to reverse the condition are most often based on tyrosinase inhibition with either drugs or dermocosmetics. Here, a novel serum containing 2-MNG, an ingredient that quenches melanin precursors (Routine A) has been compared to a tyrosinase inhibitor containing dermocosmetic serum (Routine B). Both serums were used in conjunction with a broad spectrum SPF50+/UVA sunscreen.
Materials / method: A single center randomized, double blind, parallel group, 12 weeks study has been conducted in one center in Mauritius from February to October 2023. Subjects had mild acne on the face (GEA =2 and <9 inflammatory lesions) and moderate to severe PIH with a PAPHI score >10. Patients had to apply both serums at home on the face twice a day in the morning and in the evening. The sunscreen had to be applied in the morning and at the beginning of the afternoon. Evaluations conducted at D0, D28, D56, D84 included PAHPI score, mean darkness of PIHP lesions (from 0 to 8) ), local and global tol
Results: The study involved 77 subjects including 92% females with diverse phototypes. Both routines showed a significant decrease of PIHP severity at D84 according to the PAHPI score. This decrease was significant since D28. The % of improved subjects rated by investigators at D84 was higher with routine A. Routine A showed a faster and significantly greater decrease in the PAHPI number of PIHP lesions sub-score. The two routines displayed a significant and similar improvement on mean darkness. 60% and 57% of subjects respectively in group A and B perceived that their PIHP were improved.
Conclusion: This study shows that both routines comprising innovative depigmenting serum and a broad spectrum SPF50+/UVA sunscreen are effective on PIHP with a twice daily application over 3 months. The patients’ self-perceived level of improvement suggests a clinically relevant effect from both routines. Routine A, containing the new melanin quencher, showed better efficacy on several secondary criteria related to PIHP and cosmetic outcomes.
