• Have used within the month before inclusion, any systemic medication for more than 5 consecutive days (e.g. steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, insulin, antihistamines, antihypertensive, antibiotics-e.g quinolone, tetracycline, thiazides, fluoroquinolones), or any medication known to cause abnormal responses to HEV light exposure (e.g. vitamin A derivatives, psoralen, aminolevulinic acid derivatives, etc.), or having planned to use these medications during the study.
• Volunteers who have damaged skin in close proximity to test sites (e.g. sunburn, uneven skin tones, tattoos, scars or other disfigurations)
• Volunteers who have used a prescription hydroquinone, non-hydroquinone skin lightening or brightening agent, or like product in the test area, within the past 3 months.
• Volunteers who have used a non-prescription cosmetic anti-aging or skin lightening product known to affect dyschromia or hyperpigmentation, in the test area, within the past 4 weeks.
• Volunteers who have a history of scarring, hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation anywhere on their body.

• Have participated, or are participating in, another study within the past 4 weeks.
• Any dermatologic disorder which, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the accurate evaluation of the study treatment area (lower back), but not limited to melasma, any active inflammatory skin condition (i.e. post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), severe acne vulgaris, acne conglobata, acne fulminans, seborrheic dermatitis, and lupus erythematosus.
