Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Fair skin has always been the desire of people since ages and has been associated with beauty. Earlier, most of the people used homemade (turmeric, milk, honey) products and lotions to make their skin lighter in shade. With the assumption of fair skin as a sign of beauty, there has been bias for the skin colour in most of the countries. People use fairness cream to improve their complexion, irrespective of whether they have dark or fair complexion. The purpose of this open prospective, non-comparative Phase III clinical trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Polyherbal Fairness Cream as a result of repeated application for 4 weeks. Fifty subjects were included in this study. They were advised to apply fairness cream twice daily for a period of 30 days. All the patients were followed-up at weekly intervals for a period of 4 weeks. Response to Fairness Cream was evaluated on a 5-point visual analogue scale. All subjects completed the study and significant reduction in dark complexion, increase in skin softness, and skin glowing effect was seen at the end of the study. There were no adverse effects reported during the study and compliance to the use of formulation was excellent.
