Background: l-Ascorbic acid is used to treat melasma; however, it is quickly oxidized in aqueous solutions. Thus, C'ensil, a formulation containing 25% l-ascorbic acid and a chemical penetration enhancer, was created to promote the penetration of l-ascorbic acid into the skin. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of C'ensil in patients with melasma. Methods: Forty subjects with melasma were treated with C'ensil during an open-label trial over a period of 16 weeks. Each subject's skin pigmentation was assessed every 4 weeks using the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and mexameter score. In addition, transepidermal water loss, skin dryness and irritation, and quality of life (Melasma Quality of Life Scale [MelasQoL]) were evaluated. Results: After 16 weeks, a significant decrease was noted in the degree of pigmentation based on the patients' MASI and mexameter scores. MelasQoL scores also decreased, indicating an increase in the subjects' quality of life. Conclusion: Our data indicate that C'ensil is an effective treatment modality for melasma.

BACKGROUND: Melasma is a common chronic acquired hyper melanosis. It has significant impacts on appearance, psychosocial and emotional distress, hence reducing the quality of life of the affected patients. Melasma quality of life scale (MelasQoL) is a new quality of life (QoL) questionnaire consists of 10 questions, scored from 1 to 7, with higher index scores indicating poor QoL. The severity of melasma can be assessed by the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) score. AIM:  We aimed to determine the correlation between the severity of melasma (MASI score) and quality of life. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analytic study involving 30 subjects with melasma. The diagnosis was made based on history, clinical features and by Wood’s lamp examination. MASI score was determined to assess the severity of melasma. Subjects answered 10 items of MelasQol questionnaire. All collected data were processed and statistically analysed by Spearman correlation test to determine the association of MASI score with MelasQoL. Association of quality of life with clinical pattern and depth of lesion were analysed by Mann Whitney test. RESULTS: There was no significant correlation between MASI score and MelasQoL (p = 0.797; r = 0.049). Likewise, there was no association of quality of life with clinical pattern type (p = 0.12) and depth of lesion (p = 0.92). CONCLUSION: There was no significant correlation between the MASI score and quality of life.
