First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested two creams on 50 adults with facial melasma (dark patches on the face). One cream was a new formula called Westerhoff, the other was a standard 4% hydroquinone cream. The goal was to see which cream reduced melasma more after 8 weeks, measured by a 60% improvement in the Melasma Area Severity Index (MASI-60). Participants were aged 15 to 45 and had not used any melasma treatment in the prior 8 weeks.
