SKIN LIGHTENING STUDIES
CIDP proposes various study designs to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative effect of products on skin pigmentation. Various aspects such as improvement in skin tone, reduction in skin spots, glossiness, brightness and radiance can be evaluated using instrumental techniques.
The study can be designed with evaluation at several timepoints: Baseline, D14, D28, D56, D84.
METHODOLOGY
