The split face comparison was noted in efficacy measured changes in under eye swelling and dark circles relative to baseline. Participants were graded by 2 blinded dermatologists who reviewed photographs of all participants at entry and weekly until end of study plus one week, day 37. Total number of participants: 30. Placebo right and fexofenadine left 15 participants. Placebo left and fexofenadine right 15 participants.
