Hyperpigmentation disorders disproportionately affect individuals with skin of color. There is an unmet need for safe and effective topical treatments for this population.The efficacy and tolerability of LYT2 in combination with LVS were assessed in skin of color patients with moderate to severe facial hyperpigmentation.A single-arm study was performed in Asian, Hispanic, or African American patients (Fitzpatrick phototypes IIIndash;VI). Subjects applied LYT2 and LVS daily, in addition to a basic skincare regimen, for 12 weeks. Overall hyperpigmentation, skin-tone evenness, and radiance were evaluated by the investigator, and subjects completed questionnaires regarding self-perceived efficacy.After 12 weeks, the combination of LYT2 and LVS produced a 23% improvement in overall hyperpigmentation, a 33% increase in skin-tone evenness, and a 51% increase in radiance compared to baseline. At the study conclusion, all patients noted at least a slight improvement in skin condition, and 70% reported good or excellent satisfaction. One subject (8%) experienced a treatment-related adverse event.The combination of LYT2 and LVS was well-tolerated and improved the appearance of hyperpigmentation and overall quality in skin of color.
