Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the efficacy of the investigational product by assessing the following parameters: • Changes in clinical grading of contrast of selected PIH spot. when compared with D0. • Changes in clinical grading of density of selected PIH spot. • Changes in the size of selected PIH spot. • Changes in the measurement (L star, a star and b star) of the selected PIH spot, the adjacent skin and one untreated and non-exposed zone (at the top of the buttock) using Spectrophotometer (CM- 26d or CM-2600d).Timepoint: at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 13, week 14 and week 15

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of the investigational product by assessing the following parameters: • Standard facial imaging using VISIA-CR (Standard 1, Standard 2/Raked, Cross-Polarized & Parallel- Polarized) done at D0, D28, D56 & D84 for further analysis. • Changes in the response of Self Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) for product efficacy & suitability at timepoints respectively D0 (Timm), D7, D14, D28, D56, D84, D91, D98 & D105. • Safety assessment of investigational product by total number of SAE, AE, LI reported throughout the study.Timepoint: at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 13, week 14 & week 15
