Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition. It may cause scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIHP). PIHP frequently affects individuals with a phototype of IV or above.[1] PIHP is worsened by UV radiation, lasts for years and impacts the individual well-being.[2, 3] In an observational study, 1785 adults with a phototype ranging from IV to VI with acne and PIHP applied daily for 2 months a dermocosmetic and a tainted sunscreen product (DC, Effaclar® Duo (+); SS, Anthelios® Shaka Fluide SPF 50+, SS; both La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique, France.
