Introduction
Objective
To evaluate the tolerability and lightening / brightening benefits of a high-strength twicedaily skincare regimen in normally pigmented and hyperpigmented skin in an ethnically
diverse population of women with uneven facial pigmentation.

Pigmentation irregularities are a major concern for many ethnic skin populations spanning
the globe.1,2 Safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing formulations that can even skin
color, brighten skin tone, and reduce dark spots are requested by dermatology patients
around the world.3 A new brightening skincare regimen was developed to improve
the complexion of facial skin by targeting multiple steps and pathways that affect
pigmentation. The regimen consists of a facial cleanser, serum, and lotion, which contain
N-Acetylglucosamine4 plus a variety of other benefit ingredients to collectively exfoliate
pigmented areas, reduce tyrosinase activity and melanin production, and deliver an overall
pigment evening effect.

Population / Inclusion
Criteria
Women, 30–60 years old, Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV, all ethnicities, with areas of mild to
moderate facial hyperpigmentation (3–7 on a 10 cm visual analog scale), epidermal in
nature (confirmed by Wood’s Lamp), willing to limit sun exposure and not change
hormonal medications
Exclusion Criteria
Allergies to skincare product ingredients; use of hydroxyacids, retinol, hydroquinone, kojic
acid and other antiaging or lightening/brightening cosmetics within last 2 months; cosmetic
procedures or routine use of antiaging or skin brightening topical medications, including
prescription retinoids, within last 6 months; planned or current pregnancy; breast-feeding
Study Duration
16 weeks
Study Regimen
Twice a day use of the cleanser, serum, and lotion on the entire face
(standard facial sunscreen provided for as needed use)
Evaluation Visits
Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 16
Evaluation Tools
– Visual grading by a trained clinical grader using a 10 cm visual analog scale from
extremely uneven skin tone (0) to even skin tone (10)
• Objective
– Chromameter measurements of brightness (L*) and sallowness (yellow hue, b*)
of normally pigmented and hyperpigmented areas (weeks 0, 8, and 16 only)

A new multi-ingredient brightening skincare regimen was tested in an ethnically
diverse sample of women with uneven facial pigmentation. Women applied the
regimen to the entire face twice a day for 16 weeks.

Week 16
Visual grading and clinical photographs showed:
 Lighter and more even skin color
 Brighter overall skin tone
 Reduced overall sallowness
 Lighter and less apparent brown spots
 Effects were observed in all ethnic groups
Figure 4.
Hyperpigmented Skin
Chromameter analyses of normally pigmented areas and brown spots
showed that:
 Both normally pigmented areas and brown spots became brighter and less sallow
 Normally pigmented areas brightened faster than brown spots
 Brown spots improved in sallowness faster and to a greater degree than normally
pigmented areas

have been due to twice-daily use of retinol without an acclimation phase. Reactions
were distributed across ethnicities.
