This is the one that I requested. I am so excited. Do a video on alcohol!!! I will write in my notebook ingredients to avoid for when I go shopping. They tend to use scientific terms to trick the consumer. I am so thankful for you and your help. Favourite cleansing oils video. Please come out with a cleanser and moisturizer.
Natural fragrance could mean the natural aroma that comes from the essence of the natural ingredients. I have very sensitive skin and cannot do additional fragrance or perfumes but YTTP has not irritated my skin at all. I love the cleanser and the moisture whip
@@vanitarattan I appreciate your transparency and expertise. Could you please do a video on Skinfix Barrier+Triple Lipid Peptide Cream when possible? Many Thanks Dr. V 💝
Don't know this brand but happy you've posted! Can't wait for your review on the Cerave line. Especially the sunscreen and face wash. Waiting on what you say so I can finally purchase! Oh plz put ads so you can make money from your vids! We all will gladly watch! Xoxo
First and foremost, thank you Dr. V for this labour of love you have put into this. I discovered you on RUclips last night and spent about 2hours yesterday catching up on your videos. They are very informative and I have learnt so much. I am not sure if you already made a video on this, but is it possible to speak on the best ingredients for people of colour to look for in products for different weather regions. I live in a dessert environment that is very dry and moisture lacking for majority of the year and i feel it has negatively impacted my skin most especially my scalp.
Dr.V this is going to be a Glorious day on the earth when you launch your products for people of color...Oh......!!! my GOD....I'm sure anyone that views your channel is over the moon
Yes to Alcohol! Just found your channel and love it! Thank you for the contents. I'm an Asian living in the US. I'm trying to find skin care products that cater to skin of color women.
The fragrance in the cleanser is actually completely natural and it’s from their green tea and spinach. It doesn’t contain any essential oils or parfum.
Incorrect. The ingredient list literally has Fragrance/parfum on it lol. It must be a very low concentration I imagine. It's listed as the very last ingredient. The website doesn't claim it is fragrance free either, only paraben, sulfate and phthalate free.
Yesss to alcohol ! 😅 Might I say u look beautiful with curly hair ! Will definitely wait for fragrance free version .. u r educating every single person day by day .. glad my husband introduced me to ur channel 😍😍😍😍 xoxo
Although I'm not in your target audience for dark skin, I still love your videos because it's hard to find RUclipsrs who truly understand the science of ingredients. Many of them do address ingredients lists, but they're pretty vague and can be confusing - like you said about essential oils vs "fragrance," but people usually just brush off what they don't know. They all just love these products by YTTP, even if they say they're against added fragrances (I myself like the YYTP products as well, but I didn't actually realize that they have added fragrance! For some reason I thought that they were a brand with no added fragrances, and I do get acne so I learned something). It's clear you have a lot of experience with skincare and not just a beauty reviewer. I do have a question though - in the glow oil review, you said they used a lot of fragrance (8 ingredients), yet the product itself doesn't smell that much - I can smell it, but only if I get close and sniff it. Could those ingredients have other purposes, or are they neutralizing a bad fragrance or something? It just seems weird because it doesn't seem that scented - so why are so many fragrances added?
When Hyram reviewed the Superfood cleanser he contacted YTTP to enquire about the natutal fragrance also. They replied explaining that it is referring to the odours/fragrance that naturally occur in some of the superfood extract ingredients within the product and it wasnt anything additional or synthetic. They apparently also claimed that they are therefore not irritating or sensitising to the skin.
Naturally occurring fragrance including essential oils are still fragrance. Companies will always defend their product but as a consumer do with the info as you please💖
@@hithere8140 I was just simply stating what the brand's explanation behind the natural fragrance was. Personally I wouldn't use a product be it skincare or makeup if it has any mention of fragrance/parfum or other scented ingredients as I would rather not run the risk. However, I did think it only fair to mention the brand's explanation so people could make a decision having heard both parties reasoning.
Oh I hope you get to read this. I’m a GP and I have learnt so much from you. I agree about us doctors not being taught about the ingredients that will harm skin especially for brown skin. Can you do videos on how we should use tretinoin if we should at all. Also can you suggest like a skin care routine for dry skin. Like suggest a few different products per step, like from different price ranges. That could be a few videos. Also some videos explaining the science behind the science like hyperpigmentation. I’m a medic so I can follow words like premature puberty etc but lay people might not. Also are you going to launch any products? I have learnt so much from you it helps me advice my patients and I see so many Asian ladies. Thank you xxx
I just bought the Adaptogen cream last weekend before seeing this video, and it's great so far and I'm glad it's Dr. Vanita-approved for my brown skin :)
Thank you for these reviews! I enjoyed this one! You should definitely make your own skincare line for skin of color! That would be truly revolutionary!
I'm creating kits for skin of colour based on our specific issues. Lip pigmentation, then bikini pigmentation then anti aging for skin of colour and maybe dark circles kits too. 🙏🏽🧡
Alcohol Yes please!!! And a video on fragrances yes please! Your ingredients breakdowns have been very helpful! And I’m glad I came across your channel cause I’m struggling with my mild hyperpigmentation because the ingredients breakdown lists really do help with purchasing! Thank you thank you 🙏🏾😊
1. Yes to alcohol video!! 2. Can you also so a cerave review?? 3. Maybe squeez in a Retin A review (for acne/hyperpigmentation) 4. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the curly hair!!!
Thanks so much for helping us not waste our cash on products that are not good for women of colour.Please do a video on good products to use during menopause and also turtle neck /wrinkled neck.Thanks.
Dr V, thank you so much for everything!!! Would you launch your own skin care line??? With licorice root extract and bearberry and.... That would be awesome! 😘😘😘😘
I am creating kits specifically for skin of colour issues: 1. Lip Pigmentation kit in Mid August 2. Bikini Pigmentation Kit 3. Hydration/ pigmentation kits for aging skin 4. scar cream for our children 5. 100% Mineral Sunscreen for skin of colour 6. maybe a dark circles kit too
I love your channel so much! I found it less than a week ago and I’ve been binge watching! Can you please review Paula’s Choice, Tatcha, and Fresh (Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream) ... you are so informative! I especially love the Ordinary layering videos you’ve done. Thanks again.
Thank you so much 😊, It’s feel so good to see a doctor that specializes in hyperpigmentation. Can you please do a video on what Cerave products are good for hyperpigmentation for brown/black skin.
Hi Dr. Rattan, I wish I knew about you before I made a fairly big order. I no longer can use their products. I have tried several times and breakout EVERY time I use the facial wash.😩 I now realize for years I have been getting it wrong, which has left my face with scars, Fragrance is definitely a NO for me. I’m in my late 50’s and will be taken skin care routine more seriously. You are a God send! Keep up the good work. Angie
I am currently doing trials on best and worst actives, percentages and combinations for skin of colour during the day as these extensive trials have never been done before. From my initial studies Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin A caused problems for skin of colour during the day, which are in most creams. So let me complete my study before I come back to you with a robust answer. I tend to ensure safety comes first with skin of colour which is why I always preferred to keep all actives at night. Once I get more data I will teach about it. I hope this helps.

It makes me sad I can’t use anything with Niacinamide. It turns my face red and itches. it’s hard to find products without it. I’m in 2 days with Youth to the People cleanser and no breakout so far and my skin is so soft and feels so clean.
I saw in the FAQs that they said their natural fragrance is not from essential oils, so from what they said it sounds like it should be okay? "The natural fragrance that you are seeing is our kale oil or yuzu fruit extract. Although a fragrance is present, it is derived from whole-plant and fruit extracts, not essential oils. By taking scent elements from different parts of the plant or fruit, we are able to achieve scents that are natural and please without irritating."
@Jazzmine Burch The ingredient list says parfum so I'm not sure what to believe. I don't see why ingredient list would include fragrance if the fragrance was a result of a previous ingredient.
Thanks for another great video. I'm from Grenada, and I've learn so much from you and now I have a better idea of how to deal with my acne and hyperpigmentation. Things I've learned from Dr. V 1. Avoid fragrance 2. New mantra: Be as gentle as possible! No inflammation. No harsh ingredients. No actives during the day! 3. Reapply sunscreen. I'm a big culprit. Classic once a day applier 🙈 4. Evening cleansing now happens a lot earlier. As soon as the sun goes down😂 I run outdoors a lot and I'm trying to get better at my sunscreen game. What would you recommend as a sweat resistant sunscreen for acne prone skin. Dare I hope for a sunscreen video for acne prone skin 🤞🏼🤞🏼 PS. Downloaded my guide for skin of color. Thanks a lot💙
I personally have these ingredients in my routine. I just don't use them together at the same time, in order to minimize irritation (though I heard niacinamide + tretinoin is fine).
Hello Dr V . Thanks for another wonderful video . I already ordered 2 of your products and I need some help on how to use them . I bought the anti agex serum and lightenex gold cream . Which should I use to start to use first for hyperpigmentation. And also I need to know if I should use cerave or cetraven after applying this creams . Please help . Have a wonderful day
Per the company: They don’t “add” fragrance to their products. They just don’t put the ingredients through the extra chemical processes to strip them or “unscent” them of their naturally occurring scent. They thought it was best to disclose it as “natural fragrance” on the ingredients list as to be the most transparent and so customers don’t expect it to be “unscented”.
Hey! I’ve seen multiple people say this but I can’t find it anywhere on their website. Could you point me in the right direction to where this was officially stated? Thanks!
@@allisondorn8399 Sure but the point is whether or not a product has fragrance in any form - synthetic or “natural” - doesn’t matter if it’s added or comes from an essence ingredient. The existence of fragrance makes it a risk for skin of color. Thanks.
I tried "Youth to the People" when Hyram was all the craze. I tried both the superfood cleanser and the aha power exfoliator. Interestingly, the Superfood Cleanser was very harsh on my skin and left it feeling stripped and tight. On the other hand, the AHA 10% Power Exfoliator worked very well on my skin, and I woke up in the morning with skin that looked visibly brighter/a more even complexion. I loved it so much I bought it twice. However, I now take RUclips videos with a grain of salt, as I was really disappointed when the Superfood Cleanser didn't work, as it was pretty expensive.
Ok, one more. I want to purchase the Colorscience SPF, do you think the "Bronzer" SPF would be ok for deeper skin tones. There doesn't seem to be a deep color, just light and medium.
Thanks everyone I appreciate it. I just found that there is an authorized dealer at a dermatologist office a few miles from me. I'm going to call and ask if I can see the co!or.
MyCrownstar I bought the colorscience in bronze. I actually like it a lot. It blends better into my skin tone better than other mineral ones. For reference, I am NW 44/45 shade in MAC
Caroline Hirons, Susan Yara and James Walsh are saying good things about Fenty Skin EVEN loving the fragrance as it’s such a small amount and smells lovely. Dr V would love to hear your thoughts? Pleaseeee
Please make a video on tan removal / skin whitening for a very stubborn tan including which products to use for it on coloured skin. I think it will be a very popular video topic.
I found out the Natural Essence is not oils, or parfum. What they mean is the Natural Essence/fragrances of the Kale, spinach, broccoli extracts all have their own scent. My source is from another RUclipsr called, Hyram he also did a review on the same product, and found out what they meant by that.
Hi Dr V. Could you do a review of NIOD's products (they're a product line of Deciem, who also make The Ordinary). They have a product called "Re: Pigment" that is supposed to help with hyperpigmentation. I was wondering what you think of this product.
Would you create a video which combines evening skincare routine for both anti-aging and hyperpigmentation? The separate videos are great but suggest different products, we don’t want to make a mistake and make things worse 😉 Thank you so much!!!
I got the answer for you "natural essence" and found that it refers to Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool which are technically hydrocarbons and essential oils are made of those. I was mistaken with our Adaptogen line which is essential oil-free and assumed that applied to our entire line" i hope this answers the question. Is this good for our Fitzpatrick type?
Dr Vanita please make a video on micro needling for mature skins of colour. You are the only person I trust to give a true picture for South Asian skins
This brand is all hype. I'm sorry that I bought into it. It does absolutely nothing for my skin. I tried the superfood cleanser and the superberry hydrate and glow mask for about 2 months. Was super disappointed. Btw New subbie. Love all your vids.
Great information! I suffer from eczema and my skin can be very sensitive. Now I understand which ingredients are irritating it. What about YTTP Retinal & Niacinamide Youth serum any thoughts? Thanks for giving your honest reviews. 👍🏽
Hi Dr. V, thank you so much for your videos, I look forward to them and learning more. For periorbital hyperpigmentation you mentioned used 3 products, 1) The ordinary's Ascorbic acid + alpha arbutin 2) The odinary's cafeine serum and 3) CeraVe's eye repair cream. The eye repair cream has niacinamide and from previous videos you mentioned to not mix ascorbic acid and niacinamide, so should we still use these products in combination for treating our periorbital hyperpigmentation?
I just had a consultation with them. They said that the fragrance is natural because they press everything together. They have to write fragrance for UK selling. What do you think?
Please do a video on moisturizers without fragrance most products without fragrance is made for combo or dry skin like cerave. Gel or light moisturizers tend to have so much of fragrance and silicones.
Hey dr v! Thanks for all the great informative videos. I would love a video on how to build a routine with all these ingredients like retinol, bha, azelaic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin etc. How to alternate them, how often to use each ingredient and how much product we should be using
Thank you Dr. V for this research and for the effort you are putting in this. Please can you do a review on their Kombucha + 11% AHA toner? Incidentally, I just purchased that toner and I am seeing conflicting things online....lol...funny how I started seeing red flags online after I bought it. Thank you.
Hello Dr V, can you please make a video on very well known skin care brand JURLIQUE. I have searched RUclips for a pro’s review and cannot find anywhere!!! They pride themselves so much on using natural ingredients but after watching your videos I found fragrance in so many of them. They state they do not accept artificial fragrance and other types which left me so confused. I would love a video like this where u just outline the good and and not so good. Thank you
I will, although you probably know I prefer physical for skin of colour especially in light of chemical sunscreen ingredients accumulating in the blood.
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic yes And you have changed my perception also. But I have seen few influencers talk about these sunscreens and say that it’s relatively safer because they don’t use USA ingredients. Just want your take on it.
You are awesome ! I love that you willing to share your knowledge . You are my idol !!! Please create your own skin care line . I wish your clinic is in Toronto Canada .
Hi mam could you please make a skin care routine using the indian brands similar to your ordinary layering for oily/acne prone skin?? Pleaaasseeee.. i need recommendation and also some clarification reg this..!
@@vanitarattan thanks a lot doc..!! By the way i am new to your channel bt i was binge watching it😍I love the way you explain each of the ingredients and then recommend the product.. since i wanted to start my skin care I wanted to ask you for the products to use rather than anyone else..!!🤩 please recommend both morning time and night skin care routine using indian brands... or products easily available in india🙏🙏🙏
Hi. Thank you for wonderful information. I watched your review on Sugandha Niacinamide serum. I want to know why it has a slight yellow tint. And I want to if it's safe to use.
yes on the alcohol! also, can people really extract the alcohol out of moisturizers to... get drunk? cus in rehabs they dont allow any alcohol to be in the first four ingredients of a product. i asume you cant separate them because they are mixed in so well.
Hi Dr, thank you so much for your videos. Can you please provide alternatives to the ordinary products for hyperpigmentation as most of the products are sold out. Could you please do a video on how to get rid of textured skin and have you tried typology products?
Yes, please make a video on alcohols in skincare, especially since most moisturisers use alcohol, and I never know which is good and which is bad. Also, I'm not sure if this is something that applies to make up as it does skincare, but is fragrance and alcohol bad in make up? Most, if not all, Huda Beauty products for example, use an obscene amount of fragrance in their make up, and their setting spray (Resting Boss Face) is literally superglue for make up, but is essentially denatured alcohol. Do these bad ingredients have the same effect in make up as they do skincare?
Great video and incredibly helpful. I’d recommend in future videos if you can leave the name of the product you’re reviewing on the screen so we can know which one you’re reviewing at the time.
Hi Dr. V! Thank you for all that you do. I never followed anyone so religiously and watched so many you-tube videos. Could you please let us know if we can wear creams with Hyaluronic acid in the morning? Could you please do a video on light weight moisturizers for summer or for people with sweaty skin?

"The natural fragrance that you are seeing is our kale oil or yuzu fruit extract. Although a fragrance is present, it is derived from whole-plant and fruit extracts, not essential oils. By taking scent elements from different parts of the plant or fruit, we are able to achieve scents that are natural and please without irritating."
just purchased the adaptogen deep moisture cream because ive been pilling/peeling with tretinoin! so far so good!
Yes to the alcohol video. Thanks so much because of you I take my skincare seriously now.
Hi Dr. V can you please do a review on Paula’s choice boosters for skin of color? Thanks :)
Watching this 6 months later, trying to figure out if Dr. V ever heard back from Youth to the People about their 'Natural Essence' 😞
@Jazzmine Burch The ingredient list says parfum so I'm not sure what to believe. I don't see why ingredient list would include fragrance if the fragrance was a result of a previous ingredient.
Dr V and Dr D have saved my skin and my self confidence
OMG when u said "Maqui is from Chile" I was shocked, because I am from Chile too. Thank u for all of your videos! My skin is better because of you
Thanks for another great video. I'm from Grenada, and I've learn so much from you and now I have a better idea of how to deal with my acne and hyperpigmentation.
Things I've learned from Dr. V
1. Avoid fragrance
2. New mantra: Be as gentle as possible! No inflammation. No harsh ingredients. No actives during the day!
3. Reapply sunscreen. I'm a big culprit. Classic once a day applier 🙈
4. Evening cleansing now happens a lot earlier. As soon as the sun goes down😂
I run outdoors a lot and I'm trying to get better at my sunscreen game. What would you recommend as a sweat resistant sunscreen for acne prone skin. Dare I hope for a sunscreen video for acne prone skin 🤞🏼🤞🏼
PS. Downloaded my guide for skin of color. Thanks a lot💙
OUTSTANDING! I use sheer zinc from Neutrogena but it doesn't rub in properly and is white but I know when I run, I am protected.
Alcohol! - Yes, please. :) This bit confuses me, if I saw alcohol I automatically think its bad.
Can u do a video on ceramide containing skincare?there are so many out there,it is confusing which one to choose.and love your videos by the way
Hi Dr Ratan, thank you for all the content you provide! I was wondering what the best cleanser would be for acne prone skin! Thank you :)
I'll make a video on my favourites
I love your videos! I was wondering how do you incorporate vitamin C, salicylic acid, niacinamide with tretinoin in your skincare routine?
Same 😌
I personally have these ingredients in my routine. I just don't use them together at the same time, in order to minimize irritation (though I heard niacinamide + tretinoin is fine).
Hello Dr V . Thanks for another wonderful video . I already ordered 2 of your products and I need some help on how to use them . I bought the anti agex serum and lightenex gold cream . Which should I use to start to use first for hyperpigmentation. And also I need to know if I should use cerave or cetraven after applying this creams . Please help . Have a wonderful day
Per the company: They don’t “add” fragrance to their products. They just don’t put the ingredients through the extra chemical processes to strip them or “unscent” them of their naturally occurring scent. They thought it was best to disclose it as “natural fragrance” on the ingredients list as to be the most transparent and so customers don’t expect it to be “unscented”.
Hey! I’ve seen multiple people say this but I can’t find it anywhere on their website. Could you point me in the right direction to where this was officially stated? Thanks!
So they do have fragrance in their products, they just disclose them generally as "natural". If that's the case, it's still a risk for skin of color?
@@carpediemearth there is no added fragrance. hope that help[s.
@@allisondorn8399 Sure but the point is whether or not a product has fragrance in any form - synthetic or “natural” - doesn’t matter if it’s added or comes from an essence ingredient. The existence of fragrance makes it a risk for skin of color. Thanks.
I tried "Youth to the People" when Hyram was all the craze. I tried both the superfood cleanser and the aha power exfoliator. Interestingly, the Superfood Cleanser was very harsh on my skin and left it feeling stripped and tight. On the other hand, the AHA 10% Power Exfoliator worked very well on my skin, and I woke up in the morning with skin that looked visibly brighter/a more even complexion. I loved it so much I bought it twice. However, I now take RUclips videos with a grain of salt, as I was really disappointed when the Superfood Cleanser didn't work, as it was pretty expensive.
Thank you Dr. for you videos. Can you please make a video on sunscreen for lips & eyes ( affordable brand). Couldn’t find one for brown skin.
Ok, one more. I want to purchase the Colorscience SPF, do you think the "Bronzer" SPF would be ok for deeper skin tones. There doesn't seem to be a deep color, just light and medium.
I haven't tried it myself x
I use the face shield bronze during the summer when my skin is more tanned and it looks perfect. I hope it helps.
Thanks everyone I appreciate it. I just found that there is an authorized dealer at a dermatologist office a few miles from me. I'm going to call and ask if I can see the co!or.
MyCrownstar I bought the colorscience in bronze. I actually like it a lot. It blends better into my skin tone better than other mineral ones. For reference, I am NW 44/45 shade in MAC
@ithoan O. Thank you so much, I'm a very similar shade in MAC, I can't wait to try it!
Doctor FENTY SKIN is releasing this week and I know it’s going to go crazy with the hype behind FENTY Beauty. That would be a good review :) thank u
You're a star for requesting that... I am one of the excited people who wants to try Fenty😁😁😁
OMG I just watched the review on RUclips about fenty and it has FRAGRANCE :(
@@roshbhambra5842 😭😭😭😭😭
Caroline Hirons, Susan Yara and James Walsh are saying good things about Fenty Skin EVEN loving the fragrance as it’s such a small amount and smells lovely. Dr V would love to hear your thoughts? Pleaseeee
Please make a video on tan removal / skin whitening for a very stubborn tan including which products to use for it on coloured skin. I think it will be a very popular video topic.
I found out the Natural Essence is not oils, or parfum. What they mean is the Natural Essence/fragrances of the Kale, spinach, broccoli extracts all have their own scent. My source is from another RUclipsr called, Hyram he also did a review on the same product, and found out what they meant by that.
Fragrance/Parfum it reads. So they’re saying it’s the scent of vegetables if so that’s OK
This what's my first thought.I'm not sure why she is making a big deal out of it without having a certain answer.
Hi Dr V. Could you do a review of NIOD's products (they're a product line of Deciem, who also make The Ordinary). They have a product called "Re: Pigment" that is supposed to help with hyperpigmentation. I was wondering what you think of this product.
NIOD please. Especially RE: Pigment
Ooo yes learning about which alcohols are good and which are bad would be great!
Would you create a video which combines evening skincare routine for both anti-aging and hyperpigmentation? The separate videos are great but suggest different products, we don’t want to make a mistake and make things worse 😉 Thank you so much!!!
Hi Dr. V! Is Vitamin E good to use during the day to help with sun protection? Can it also help with pigmentation?
I got the answer for you "natural essence" and found that it refers to Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool which are technically hydrocarbons and essential oils are made of those. I was mistaken with our Adaptogen line which is essential oil-free and assumed that applied to our entire line" i hope this answers the question. Is this good for our Fitzpatrick type?
Dr Vanita please make a video on micro needling for mature skins of colour. You are the only person I trust to give a true picture for South Asian skins
YES, please. Do one on alcohols
This brand is all hype. I'm sorry that I bought into it. It does absolutely nothing for my skin. I tried the superfood cleanser and the superberry hydrate and glow mask for about 2 months. Was super disappointed. Btw New subbie. Love all your vids.
Awww the superfood cleanser is the best cleanser I’ve ever used
Dr. V, can you please do a video on Krave Beauty and it’s effectiveness on SOC? Thank you so much for your in depth reviews!
Great information! I suffer from eczema and my skin can be very sensitive. Now I understand which ingredients are irritating it. What about YTTP Retinal & Niacinamide Youth serum any thoughts? Thanks for giving your honest reviews. 👍🏽
Hi Dr. V, thank you so much for your videos, I look forward to them and learning more. For periorbital hyperpigmentation you mentioned used 3 products, 1) The ordinary's Ascorbic acid + alpha arbutin 2) The odinary's cafeine serum and 3) CeraVe's eye repair cream. The eye repair cream has niacinamide and from previous videos you mentioned to not mix ascorbic acid and niacinamide, so should we still use these products in combination for treating our periorbital hyperpigmentation?
I got a terrible chemical burn from the Yerba Mate Facial and only kept it on for 1-2 minutes. I have pretty fair skin too.
I just had a consultation with them. They said that the fragrance is natural because they press everything together. They have to write fragrance for UK selling. What do you think?
Please do a video on moisturizers without fragrance most products without fragrance is made for combo or dry skin like cerave. Gel or light moisturizers tend to have so much of fragrance and silicones.
neutrogena n cetaphil coming soon
Hey dr v! Thanks for all the great informative videos. I would love a video on how to build a routine with all these ingredients like retinol, bha, azelaic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin etc. How to alternate them, how often to use each ingredient and how much product we should be using
Yes yes please
I just pre-ordered your book and can't wait to get it
I love you sooooo much for continuing to educate me and others. Thank you so much for this. Your effort is greatly appreciated
Thank you Dr. V for this research and for the effort you are putting in this. Please can you do a review on their Kombucha + 11% AHA toner? Incidentally, I just purchased that toner and I am seeing conflicting things online....lol...funny how I started seeing red flags online after I bought it. Thank you.
Hello Dr V, can you please make a video on very well known skin care brand JURLIQUE. I have searched RUclips for a pro’s review and cannot find anywhere!!! They pride themselves so much on using natural ingredients but after watching your videos I found fragrance in so many of them. They state they do not accept artificial fragrance and other types which left me so confused. I would love a video like this where u just outline the good and and not so good. Thank you
🙌🏻🙌🏻.
Review on Korean or Japanese sunscreen! Specially all the famous and hyped ones. They are mostly chemical or combo.
I will, although you probably know I prefer physical for skin of colour especially in light of chemical sunscreen ingredients accumulating in the blood.
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic yes And you have changed my perception also. But I have seen few influencers talk about these sunscreens and say that it’s relatively safer because they don’t use USA ingredients. Just want your take on it.
You are awesome ! I love that you willing to share your knowledge . You are my idol !!! Please create your own skin care line . I wish your clinic is in Toronto Canada .
I'm so glad I've come across your channel...thank you so much for all your advice! Its been a great learning point.
May I know if it will be possible for you to upload a video on suggestion of moisturisers for dry skin?
Hi mam could you please make a skin care routine using the indian brands similar to your ordinary layering for oily/acne prone skin?? Pleaaasseeee.. i need recommendation and also some clarification reg this..!
I will xx
@@vanitarattan thanks a lot doc..!! By the way i am new to your channel bt i was binge watching it😍I love the way you explain each of the ingredients and then recommend the product.. since i wanted to start my skin care I wanted to ask you for the products to use rather than anyone else..!!🤩 please recommend both morning time and night skin care routine using indian brands... or products easily available in india🙏🙏🙏
Hello Doc V,
Thank you, going to grab my morning tea!
I received my PS 2% BHA, wow wow. Yes, I know once a week!
Thank you, thank you!
Hi. Thank you for wonderful information. I watched your review on Sugandha Niacinamide serum. I want to know why it has a slight yellow tint. And I want to if it's safe to use.
I think best to ask them
yes on the alcohol! also, can people really extract the alcohol out of moisturizers to... get drunk? cus in rehabs they dont allow any alcohol to be in the first four ingredients of a product. i asume you cant separate them because they are mixed in so well.
Their website is saying no fragrance is used!
Can u please make a video on DERMA CO products for hyperpigmentation and acne. Its available in INDIA.
Hi Dr, thank you so much for your videos. Can you please provide alternatives to the ordinary products for hyperpigmentation as most of the products are sold out. Could you please do a video on how to get rid of textured skin and have you tried typology products?
Are you in the UK? Try PLT
Do you think Earth to Skin at Walmart is a good Dupe!?
To do list
. What alcohol we should avoid and what alcohol is safe
. Earth rhythm review
. Mama Earth review
Yes, please make a video on alcohols in skincare, especially since most moisturisers use alcohol, and I never know which is good and which is bad.
Also, I'm not sure if this is something that applies to make up as it does skincare, but is fragrance and alcohol bad in make up? Most, if not all, Huda Beauty products for example, use an obscene amount of fragrance in their make up, and their setting spray (Resting Boss Face) is literally superglue for make up, but is essentially denatured alcohol. Do these bad ingredients have the same effect in make up as they do skincare?
Unfortunately yes. As much as I love Huda the resting boss face I'd avoid.
First video I’m watching by you and I’m so happy I found your account omg subscribed and put on notifications !!!
Great video and incredibly helpful. I’d recommend in future videos if you can leave the name of the product you’re reviewing on the screen so we can know which one you’re reviewing at the time.
Can you please do a video about pigmentation on lips and elbow because of scleroderma
???
Hi Dr. V! Thank you for all that you do. I never followed anyone so religiously and watched so many you-tube videos. Could you please let us know if we can wear creams with Hyaluronic acid in the morning? Could you please do a video on light weight moisturizers for summer or for people with sweaty skin?
definitely want to know which alcohol to avoid!! I tend to cringe when I see it in my skin and hair products. Please clear this up for us!!
