The images presented are from a Phase 4 clinical study evaluating the effect of AKLIEF Cream on acne-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)*. AKLIEF Cream rapidly reduced PIH severity in patients with acne during the first 12 weeks of treatment, with continued improvements in facial PIH observed through Week 24.3cd

The results and images presented are from a Phase 4 clinical study evaluating the effect of AKLIEF Cream in combination with oral doxycycline for severe acne vulgaris patients. AKLIEF Cream with oral doxycycline demonstrated greater IGA† success rates and lesion reductions compared with vehicle plus placebo.4abcd

*PIH, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

†IGA, Investigator Global Assessment

a. Studied in acne patients from 9 to 58 years of age with diverse skin types and moderate-to-severe acne. Nodulocystic acne was excluded from the trials.

b. Significant improvement seen as early as Week 1 in the pivotal clinical trials.

c. Secondary to clearing acne.

d. The primary endpoint was the overall disease severity score (ODS). No statistical significance between AKLIEF Cream and vehicle at Week 24 was seen.
