Group Intervention Description Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III Marvel AM Volunteers will return to the clinic after Baseline for 10 additional, consecutive days for study staff to apply approximately 2 mg/cm2 or 50 µL of test product to the appropriate 5x5cm2 test location on the lower back. Volunteers will have digital images of the three (3) areas on the lower back that comprise the entire test region taken at Baseline, and 24hrs post 90J/cm2 HEV light exposure. Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-V Marvel AM Volunteers will return to the clinic after Baseline for 10 additional, consecutive days for study staff to apply approximately 2 mg/cm2 or 50 µL of test product to the appropriate 5x5cm2 test location on the lower back. Volunteers will have digital images of the three (3) areas on the lower back that comprise the entire test region taken at Baseline, and 24hrs post 90J/cm2 HEV light exposure.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Photographs for detection of changes in the treatment areas. Baseline, Day 11 Photographic images of the lower back, will be captured utilizing a digital system. Photos may be taken from multiple angles to allow for easy detection of changes in the treatment areas.
Chromamemter instrument will be used to assess the change of color on the skin. Baseline, Day 11 Chromameter instrument will be used to measure color on the skin.
Punch biopsies will be taken from the 3 different areas on the lower back to evaluate histological changes. Baseline, Day 11 Punch biopsies will be taken from the 3 different areas on the lower back for histological evaluation.
