Please Dr. Rattan can you do a video on Xanthelasma & peop of color? I have one under my eye & another smaller one forming. A dermatologist took a slice off mine to biopsy, but can't guarantee if she cuts it off or burns it off, that it won't return. All I've found out is it's some sort of cholesterol deposit, but supposedly not from high cholesterol. Mine formed 2 years, after I stopped eating dairy, eggs & all meat, except seafood. I've been told diet is not a factor. Should I let the dermatologist cut it off or just use a wart remover to burn it off at home, like I've seen peop do?
Please don’t increase ur prices 🙏 I am buying ur products and I love them 😍 ❤🌸🌺🫶🏻I am Spanish and have allergies to fragrance I understand the ingredients I appreciate ur honesty, I never wanted to buy those big brands over priced products they think I am an idiot to spend my hard earned money on their products that are not worth a penny .Thank u for not putting fragrance on ur hair care products and body products and everything 😊 love them. ❤
hello Dr v, You say in the video that you leave on the Body Exfoliator from morning till night, but the packaging of the body exfoilator says to leave on for 2 hours maximum. can you clarify on how long to leave it on for best results. also the amount of exfoliator to use per surface of body. thank you
Dr v can you go over the studies that you did on your products? Blinded or non blinded studies? Cohort? Case study? And also the strength of evidence behind the ingredients you put into your products? Grade a recommendation? Or grade b? Grade c? I’m a doctor myself, and these questions come up once the awe of wow there’s someone dedicated and ethical doing this goes away.
Thanks so much for this body care line. The shipping costs to the US are a lot right now for your products, so are there any alternatives until the shipping costs are cheaper? Do you have any plans to sell through Amazon or something like that? Thanks for all the information that you share with us. You are fantastic 😊
Yeah, Dr V your products are amazing. But shipping cost + custom charges even to Ireland is really high. I paid around 65 Euros for 235 euros worth products.
Hi Dr. v, I have been following your channel from day 1 and continue watching. Your channel has grown so much and the amount of knowledge I have learned I have passed it down to my family and friends. The only thing I wanted to mention is that if there is a cheaper shipping fee for Canada? It is tough to afford numerous products which are decent priced but when I go to checkout the price changes drastically. I am a single parent and it’s hard to keep buying your products. If you can somehow try to help with that I would appreciate it. Much love ❤️
I really really wish I can buy your products, but I’m in the US and the shipping costs are high. But I’m sooooooooooo happy to see you doing great and expanding
Love from India 🇮🇳 can u make a video on hair and scalp care With issue such as hairfall in men Treatment available Products to look for and ingredients to look for while buying hair and scalp care while including in home treatment and salon or dermatologist treatment
I love your products. I just wish there was an easier and quicker way to have them shipped to the US. The international shipping costs does give me reason to really consider carefully what and how much I buy. All that said I haven’t found anyone offering the level of skincare products you are. I’m excited about this new launch.
Wow 🤩 you’re the best, would love to order this for my body, but shipping to the Caribbean would be way too much 😞, but thanks for all the knowledge of skincare ❤️
As a SOC I’m so much more invested in skincare because of you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and creating these products. Would this line of body products help fading white dots on the skin? I would love to see a video on this and what you recommend? Much love! ♥️
I just got my order of Collagen Boost Body,Brightening oil and InZicable sunscreen 👍🏾 I have a dark spot on my face, but i forgot to order something for the face . Can i use Brightening oil on my face? Soon i will order the full kit. Thank you so much for caring for dark skin 👏❤️
Can I do this way Simple wash Cosrx Centella toner Salicylic masque ordinary Vit c suspension ordinary Niacinamide Hyaluronic acid Cerave Is this correct
Shipping cost to New Zealand is more than the cost of products! Please look into this as its a big barrier for me to repurchase your sunscreen which I love so much.
Doc V! My hyperpigmentation has gotten so much better while using you products. You have had a big hand in educating me. I have you body daily range and I see a difference. Please review your thoughts on B-Flat. It’s super popular on social media. But is it legit? Also can you go over how to get rid of acne on the arms? And a way to solve the hyperpigmentation after. Thank you, our community appreciates you!
Hi Dr. V! I have been using your daily range for about 2 months now (except for the antioxidant serum for now cause i’m breastfeeding ) and i can really tell the difference and I’m loving it! I would like to start drinking your collagen drink too but i want to make sure that it’s safe to take when breastfeeding?? Thanks!
Do you think the body wash actives have enough time on the skin to make any changes? I understand that BHA’s don’t require much skin contact time to start making changes but vitamin A does.
Doctor.V love all your content and have learnt a lot about skina dn this boosts my confidence as a SKIN OF COLOUR wowowo! Please put a special video for under eye ! how to rectify them and products availble in India and serum for specially under eye! my whole face has healed but the under eye is still an issue ! would love you to deep dive into them specifically please
So the time between the exfoliator and body wash is one hour. How is that going to work first thing in the morning when getting ready for work? Can the exfoliator be used the evening before?
I love this I am going to get the body range cause I have KP and bumpy rough skin texture and nothing has worked. Hopefully with this range it will help 😊
Amazing Vanita! Well done for releasing this kit so quickly, I cannot wait to try it. Your skin is always glowing and the proof is always in the pudding!
Thank you Dr V for such an informative session on body care. Love your Inzincable and collagen drink. I would like to know if the whole Dr V body range can be used on the neck area as well, as my neck is at the risk of turning into a chicken neck. And is it good to use loofah on our bodies? If not, what is the best thing to use to wash our bodies? Thank you 😘
Hi DrV I wish I could buy all your products. I’m your lifetime customer. Only problem is shipping is very expensive to Australia. Is there any way I could buy the products without having to pay $30 on the shipping. Thank you alot Drv xxx
Hi Vanita through the years I suffer from severe acne but now my skin is healed however the pigment of my face has gotten really dark . Is there any cream I can use to help reoccur my skin tone ? No bleaching products
Hi Dr. V love your content I watch nearly all your videos even on issues I don’t have because of how informative and interesting your videos are 💛 I have a request can you please make a video on treatment options for keloids especially on dark skin and the scaring afterwards and the effects of steroids thank you ☺️
Hi Dr. V ...love all ur videos..thank u for all the information you give us..could you please do a video on what to do for old surgery scars on face and neck area.
Doctor i really love your videos plz can you advise me a good moisturizer actually I have sensitive skin and I have very tiny open pores, I visited a dermatologist but he gave a very bad moisturizer due to which my skin got irritated so can you advise me a good chemical and paraben free moisturizer which can be available in India plz....
Hello Dr V, I'm treating acne, I want toget the trio blemish and the antioxidant NEW power serum and also, the toner, exfoliate to glow and oil melting cleanser and cerapep, can I use them all as my routine interchanging on different days as I'm treating acne?
Hi Dr. Vanita, thanks for the video! I have a question, is there any product that you recommend to prevent cherry angiomas in the arms besides the laser treatment?
Hey Dr. V! Question: I am trying to rid my face of hyperpigmentation while also smoothing the skin and evening skin tone. What do you think of my face routine? Morning: 1. Wash with Clearasil salicylic acid wash 2. Wipe with Clearasil salicylic acid pads 3. Facetheory Regena C30 Vitamin C 4. Sunscreen Night: 1. Wash with CeraVe Facial Foaming Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser 2. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 3. The Ordinary Niacinamide 4. Differin Adapalene 5. Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10) Benzoyl peroxide 6. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
Hi I'm a med student considering becoming a derm and this would be my criticism: 1) you really don't need to wash your face in the morning but if you absolutely must then use something a bit gentler (also don't spend too much money on cleansers, a cleanser with actives really won't change your skin. Vanicream, Cetaphil or CeraVe hydrating cleaner is great) 2) exfoliating in the morning (even when followed by sunscreen) isn't ideal since sunscreen isn't always a perfect barrier and you should always be on the safe side. plus you really shouldn't be exfoliating everyday because you're already using differin which should be normalising your cell turnover rate anyway. 3) 30% vitamin c is too too much and can't not irritate your skin. too risky and not worth its benefits. 4) the ordinary's niacinamide serum has too much niacinamide which could irritate your skin (especially since it's already prone to irritation due to the adapalene) 5) you seemingly don't use an actual moisturizer which is a huge no what I'd recommend is: 1) instead of using a spot treatment you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash (let it sit on your skin for 5 minutes) 2) exfoliate no more than twice a week and only in the evenings (you could also skip adapalene on exfoliation nights) 3) instead of layering an antioxidant serum with sunscreen, use a sunscreen that contains antioxidants. layering sunscreen is never good since it can drastically reduce its protection. 4-5) skip the niacinamide serum alltogether and just use a non comedogenic moisturizer that contains niacinamide (this way you'll have niacinamide and also an actual moisturizer) what my recommended routine would look like is: morning: 1) wash your face with lukewarm water ONLY and make sure it's dried well 2) apply sunscreen generously (a sunscreen with antioxidants could be cosrx's new sunscreen which you can find on their website but there really are tons of great sunscreens with antioxidants.) evening: 1) wash with a benzoyl peroxide wash 2) apply alpha arbutin and LET IT DRY (adapalene on wet skin equals irritation which we can't afford to have especially with skin of color) 3) apply differin and also let it soak in for 10 minutes 4) seal in with a moisturizer that has niacinamide (could also have several other ingredients for hyperpigmentation) 5) you can also apply the moisturizer first, let it dry and soak and then apply differin on top which will assure that you distribute differin with an even layer on the skin. this reduces irritation without decreasing the benefits of differin feel free to comment if you'd like product recommendations :)
@@ulasoktay3104 Yes, I forgot to add that I use Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion at night. Thank you for your remarks. I think I can take some of your advice, like using salicylic acid less frequently. Some of your comments though are contrary to what Doctor V has previously suggested. 1. Dr. V has never advocated for not cleansing your face in the morning 2. Dr V said her favorite vitamin c serum is Facetheory Regena C30 3. Dr. V suggested using Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide together everyday (specifically the products from The Ordinary) Many of the products listed are suggested from Dr. V, except that Dr. Dray suggests Differin Adapalene in conjunction with a topical Benzoyl Peroxide. So my question more or less was…how do I combine Dr. Dray’s suggestion of using Adapalene & Benzoyl Peroxide together at night with Dr. V’s suggestion of using Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide together at night? Would the ingredients deactivate each other? Would the combination be too harsh? Is it wise to split the night routine in two and apply on alternate nights?
Dr I want to know from you that if I start tretinoin today and got amazing results.. After around 6 months if I stop using that, does my skin condition (texture, open pores, acne) gonna be the same as it is now? Does pores are gonna look like big and aging? Please response
Dr V, I am confused when to use Niacinamide, salicylic acid and Retinol. Could u pls make a video on that. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) Retinol v use at night n top it up wth a thick moisturizer, but I am not sure how and when to use Niacinamide & salicylic acid. Please can u make a video on that
Hi dr V....I recently purchased your exfoliate to glow. Can I substitute the ordinary retinol 2%, alpha arbutin and buffet serum all for your power serum alone?
Hello Dr V how are you? Always love love your videos and i have completely changed my skin care routines and products after watching your videos.. you rock 👍👍.. when are your products will be available in US?? Cant wait to use them. Thank you for everything and love you ❤️
Hello ma'am ! Please review the UV doux sunscreen which is available in India. It's suggested to me by my dermatologist but I can't determine if it's a chemical or mineral sunscreen
Dr V's website: www.skincarebydrv.com

Please Dr. Rattan can you do a video on Xanthelasma & peop of color? I have one under my eye & another smaller one forming.

Thanks so much for this body care line. The shipping costs to the US are a lot right now for your products, so are there any alternatives until the shipping costs are cheaper? Do you have any plans to sell through Amazon or something like that? Thanks for all the information that you share with us. You are fantastic 😊
I’m thinking the same way, little high shipping price, unless you buy $200.00 what is a lot
It's a lot for to EU too I think and Asia
We are looking at different options, I am very aware of this issue. Give me some time 🙏🏽🧡
Hi Dr V
Shipping and customs costs to South Africa are also extremely high 😞
Yeah, Dr V your products are amazing. But shipping cost + custom charges even to Ireland is really high. I paid around 65 Euros for 235 euros worth products.
Hey Dr V, can you do a video on products and routines to incorporate while losing weight to keep the body firm and tight? Thanks 💕

🧡
How do we apply the body wash because I never feel like it’s enough
Hey Dr. V! Question: I am trying to rid my face of hyperpigmentation while also smoothing the skin and evening skin tone. What do you think of my face routine?
Morning:
1. Wash with Clearasil salicylic acid wash
2. Wipe with Clearasil salicylic acid pads
3. Facetheory Regena C30 Vitamin C
4. Sunscreen
Night:
1. Wash with CeraVe Facial Foaming Cleanser or CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser
2. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin
3. The Ordinary Niacinamide
4. Differin Adapalene
5. Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10) Benzoyl peroxide
6. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
Hi I'm a med student considering becoming a derm and this would be my criticism:
1) you really don't need to wash your face in the morning but if you absolutely must then use something a bit gentler (also don't spend too much money on cleansers, a cleanser with actives really won't change your skin. Vanicream, Cetaphil or CeraVe hydrating cleaner is great)
2) exfoliating in the morning (even when followed by sunscreen) isn't ideal since sunscreen isn't always a perfect barrier and you should always be on the safe side. plus you really shouldn't be exfoliating everyday because you're already using differin which should be normalising your cell turnover rate anyway.
3) 30% vitamin c is too too much and can't not irritate your skin. too risky and not worth its benefits.
4) the ordinary's niacinamide serum has too much niacinamide which could irritate your skin (especially since it's already prone to irritation due to the adapalene)
5) you seemingly don't use an actual moisturizer which is a huge no
what I'd recommend is:
1) instead of using a spot treatment you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash (let it sit on your skin for 5 minutes)
2) exfoliate no more than twice a week and only in the evenings (you could also skip adapalene on exfoliation nights)
3) instead of layering an antioxidant serum with sunscreen, use a sunscreen that contains antioxidants. layering sunscreen is never good since it can drastically reduce its protection.
4-5) skip the niacinamide serum alltogether and just use a non comedogenic moisturizer that contains niacinamide (this way you'll have niacinamide and also an actual moisturizer)
what my recommended routine would look like is:
morning:
1) wash your face with lukewarm water ONLY and make sure it's dried well
2) apply sunscreen generously (a sunscreen with antioxidants could be cosrx's new sunscreen which you can find on their website but there really are tons of great sunscreens with antioxidants.)
evening:
1) wash with a benzoyl peroxide wash
2) apply alpha arbutin and LET IT DRY (adapalene on wet skin equals irritation which we can't afford to have especially with skin of color)
3) apply differin and also let it soak in for 10 minutes
4) seal in with a moisturizer that has niacinamide (could also have several other ingredients for hyperpigmentation)
5) you can also apply the moisturizer first, let it dry and soak and then apply differin on top which will assure that you distribute differin with an even layer on the skin. this reduces irritation without decreasing the benefits of differin
feel free to comment if you'd like product recommendations :)
@@ulasoktay3104 Yes, I forgot to add that I use Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion at night.

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) Retinol v use at night n top it up wth a thick moisturizer, but I am not sure how and when to use Niacinamide & salicylic acid. Please can u make a video on that
Hi dr V....I recently purchased your exfoliate to glow. Can I substitute the ordinary retinol 2%, alpha arbutin and buffet serum all for your power serum alone?
Yes x

Hello ma'am !
Please review the UV doux sunscreen which is available in India. It's suggested to me by my dermatologist but I can't determine if it's a chemical or mineral sunscreen
Please can you address the issue collagen for vegetarians? What can we have?
