Treating acne in people of color requires managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Combination therapy with clindamycin-benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin microsphere gel showed a trend toward better PIH resolution.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cutaneous Biology
  • Medical Treatments

Background:

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a significant concern for individuals of color with acne.
  • Effective treatment strategies must address both acne and subsequent pigmentary changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze pigmentary changes in subjects of color with acne undergoing different topical therapeutic regimens.
  • To compare the efficacy of combination therapies in resolving post-acne hyperpigmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Subset analysis of a community-based trial involving subjects of color with acne.
  • Comparison of three topical regimens: clindamycin 1%-benzoyl peroxide 5% gel plus either tretinoin microsphere (RAM) gel 0.04%, RAM gel 0.1%, or adapalene (AP) gel 0.1%.

Main Results:

  • A trend towards improved resolution of hyperpigmentation was observed.
  • Subjects receiving clindamycin-BPO gel combined with RAM gel 0.04% showed a positive trend in hyperpigmentation reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Combination therapy including clindamycin-BPO and tretinoin microsphere gel may offer benefits for managing acne and PIH in individuals of color.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm the efficacy of specific concentrations for PIH resolution.
