Post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a major cosmetic concern especially in individuals with darker skin complexion. Unfortunately, treatment with anti‐inflammatory ingredients alone does not prevent the development of hyperpigmented spots. Recently, isobutylamido‐thiazolyl‐resorcinol (Thiamidol) was described as a very potent inhibitor of human tyrosinase. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of this compound to prevent PIH induced by epidermal wounding (suction blister) and related to acne.
