Effect of Vitamin E in the Prevention of Visible Light Induced Pigmentation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Vitamin E and Eucerin for Pigmentation From Visible Light. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of an antioxidant in preventing pigmentation induced by visible light in subjects with a phototype IV or V. Patients will be exposed to a range of visible light to areas on the back to confirm study eligibility. Patients showing pigmentation after 7 days on the exposed areas will be eligible to continue. Eligible patients will have study product applied to part of the back and placebo on another part of the back. The placebo area will be exposed to the same range of light based as at Day -7. The area where the antioxidant is applied will have a higher range of light exposure than the area without the study product. Seven days later, the areas will be examined to determine the lowest exposure inducing pigmentation on the sides with placebo and with antioxidant. The color will also be measured between two identical exposures with placebo and with antioxidant.
