Hey doctor, I have a $50 gift card to ulta and I have combination skin. I have some pigmentation on my face (Not acne, I Had mosquito bites on my face and I violently scratch them lol. Now the spots wont go) Please suggest me an affordable regime (Preferably The ordinary) for me =. I am 21 year old (Bangladeshi) Also I have severe pigmentation on my lips which makes me very insecure. Suggest me something for that as well. My overall budget is $50 in ulta lol. Black friday sales are coming, so hopefully I can find some stuff cheaper than regular prices. Thanks in advance. Really hoping you would respond to me.
I am totally blown away at how honest and transparent you are. Most people would immediately try to sell their products but you went through many brands and recommended the best as well as informing us to not purchase. I look forward to purchasing from you.
You deserve the utmost respect. You’ve actually formulated your own skin care to help Soc and we continue to ask about other brands. I’m going to buy your kit because you deserve all the support for all that you give.
Dr V. I did your facial pigmentation kit and got the BEST results I have ever gotten. You stated the kit lasts about 3 months but mine stretched to almost 6 and my face was the best I have ever seen it. I had severe hyperpigmentation due to cystic acne. I calmed the acne down with spironolactone with great results and followed all of your recommendations. CeraVe foaming face wash, good molecules niacinamide toner, the good molecules discoloration serum, CeraVe moisturizer, and Elta MD sunscreen. I got decent results but it wasn’t until your kit that the journey sped up beautifully. Once done with your kit it went back to the other stuff and I am coasting beautifully. I still have some darker areas but I have never seen it so clear to where I’m like that’s good enough lol. But I think I want to do your kit one more time. It was worth every penny. Thank you.
That is awesome to hear. I am patiently waiting for her facial kit to become available again so i can start that process. I have been dealing with hyperpigmentation for 6 years now spending tons of money on products. Really pray this kit works for me as well.
Hi Jolene. What is your skin type. I have oily skin and am looking for some serum or cream to decrease my acne marks. I too had cystic acne and I took tretinoin for months but the marks refuse to go.
I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you are in "protection mode" for your skin of color family so we can save some coin and save our skin at the end of the day. Thank you, gorgeous Dr. V.
I’m grateful that she does these reviews because a lot of the products are over priced and overrated. I was using the ordinary and it really was working, it is a slow process but it works. It’s simple and to the point.
This is honestly probably one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Honest, informative, and you kept me wanting to know more info until they very end. Brilliantly done. I’m soo happy to see there’s an option for us and someone that’s speaking on it.
As an estie for past 18 years, you have been such a game changer to myself and clients! You are amazing. You keep up the work you were called to do. Thank You Dr. V
As a WOC, I love these videos! So refreshing to see info for those of us with melanated skin. However, what I would love more is some "before and after" pics demonstrating how well your suggested regimen works. As you wisely advise, it likely will take 3 to 6 months to see any results. It's easier to hang in that long if you provide demonstrated results on your previous clients. 😊
That Euricin anti pigmentation serum... Is the BEST anti pigmentation serum I've ever used. Been using it for 3 months and completely faded my dark mark from old spots!
I had a look at the ingredients and they’re all basically just filler ingredients or irritating for your skin. It’s most likely the sodium ascorbyl phosphate that’s helping you.
It’s the Patented Thiamidol w/c is really reduces the pigmentation, it become the No.1 in the market for reducing the pigmentation with Anti Aging and moisturize skin as well.
Topicals Faded is super popular and sold out everywhere right now. That would be a great product to review. Oh...and the Glow recipe Guava Dark Spot/ Vitamin C serum. People would love videos on those 2 products and they would get alot of views.
I was just about to comment this cause that serum is a dream on my PIH & PIE and I’m so surprised Dr V hasn’t mentioned it, includes way more tyrosinase inhibitors than any other serum I’ve seen on the market
I bought that Faded product and used the entire tube each day or every other day(can't remember) and it did nothing for my skin. I used a Pea sized amount and it felt like it was just sitting on my skin, it didn't feel like it ever absorbed. I didn't really like that product. Maybe I was using it wrong idk
I read that Vaseline is non comedogenic so it does not clog your pores. I’m 47 and have noticed my skin lately to be very dry and started using Vaseline and it works.
I was sold on YOU, your channel, and your expertise after you said you expect excellence when these brands “slap” on for black/brown innuendos for marketing purposes and literally don’t back it is in their product. Love this and your true diagnostics for people like me that are just starting out in cosmetics and skin care!! ❤
You make things so clear! Thank you. Buying the right products for our skin can be so exhausting! Especially when you have oily acne prone skin like mine. X
Was watching a black aesthetician from America and she is very knowledgeable like yourself as you are both medically qualified. The only thing was that a lot of her products were in America but found one of your videos accidentally. Dr Rattan, just wanted to say thank you so much for educating women of colour. I watch your videos and follow your guidelines. I’m 51, just gone through menopause, went through horrible hormonal acne, tried so many products but now I’m very happy with Face Theory, listening to your advice always and yes I’m using my sunscreen. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow!! Where have you been?! I wish I would've found your channel sooner. This is the fifth video I've watched back to back and I'm so excited that I found someone that only has the professional knowledge and caters to skin of color but is also HONEST. While you have your own skincare brand you're upfront that it is a bit more expensive and give alternative options. As a college student, this means so much. School is challenging enough and then add skin insecurities.. I will definitely follow your advice in starting here first and then working up to invest in your products :)
Someone literally telling potential customers "don't buy my product, wait only until none of the others work". Wow. Definitely the most trustworthy influencer/company 😊😍.
I watched this to get your opinion on the Clinique product specifically. The reason is my Aunt used this 2x/day for 6 months and 1x/day for the remainder of the bottle. Her melasma is gone. It's been 2yrs since the last use and it hasn't come back. I appreciate you and your opinion as you give very valuable information. But because I've seen the results for myself I will definitely be giving it a try and if I remember will come back and give an update.
I use to use the original Clinique product years ago when it first came out and it also got rid of my melasma. The new versions they have now don’t work for me 😢
The eucerin pigment serum's key ingredient is thiamidol (Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol), an Eucerin patented ingredient, ranking 10th in the deck. If I remember correctly, their studies show that it can work with a low concentration.
That’s How I know this video is a little bs because she trapped about the alcohol and the licorice root but key ingredient that makes it a brightening serum is Thiaidol which should be at a low concentration and just ignored ask if that and said don’t buy it . Weird af lol
Inzincable is hands down my favorite sunscreen however I live in America and although it's very affordable, the shipping makes it over $50. How can your American SOC fam help you with gettin something set up where Inzincable (and the rest of ur products) have lower shipping cost for us? I really want all my clients wearing Inzincable! It's so fantastic! Thanks Dr. V!!!
I’ve tried so many of the rubbish products here over the years 😫 . In the last 2. 1/2 years I switched to the ordinary and my skin completely transformed . Thank god for newer better brands and for dr V priceless advice!
@@yasminkhan5569 I use inkey list salicylic cleanser first, then ordinary 10% niacinamide and moisturiser. Evening: cerave foaming cleanser, retinol, moisturiser. Once or twice a week instead of retinol I use ordinary 7% glycolic acid.( dr v doesn’t like this but my skin is quite resilient and doesn’t sting or get irritated by it at all, maybe use a less percentage one first)
So true with glycolic acid. I used to use pixi 5% glycolic acid toner and it made my skin soooooooooooooooo much worse. It took me atleast a year to figure it out what caused my skin to breakouts and hot spots this worst. I started to stop the products I was using one by one and finally figured out what caused the problem.
No matter what you say, I have always used Clinique and it suits me beautifully. I love my skin and how it feels even after next day once I wash off my face.
Salicylic acid has never worked for me. It doesn’t make me break out more, but it also doesn’t help heal my acne. Lactic acid makes me break out crazy. Glycolic acid makes my skin brighter and smoother but doesn’t help stop breakouts. What products of your skin care line would you recommend ?
@sarita Try azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or a retinoid. Adapelene OTC helped reduce 99% of my acne. I also use azelaic acid for more help with the acne and dark spots left behind. My face is a complete 180.
Bought the "dark circle " kit. followed the instruction and, saw no results. Dark circles - developed only in recent years - are still ever present. So, for me, the dark circle kit costing GBP110 down plus shopping was a lost.
I bought the Paula choice barrier moisturizer and my acne scars and dark marks are fading. Thank you so much Dr. V. Love you and I am going to purchase your book all about skin care. Thank Thank you.
Always makes my day when you upload!! I also ordered 2 Inzincables and can't wait to use them! Some videos ideas because you said you were getting through your list: - whiteheads - review Boots Dermacare range (especially their cream please) - best body oils/moisturiser -Johnsons range (inc baby oil) -dry skin video -dry skin on the body and how to treat -more face theory reviews (they have a zinc oxide SPF!) - Aveeno dermexa range - more videos on your new book and daily range, showing applications etc Thank you for everything you do!! Don't know where we would be without you! 😊 ♥
I use the Glow Recipe Guava serum, Face Theory Exaglow, Niod Repigment serum, TO alpha arbutin, PC Azeliac acid and Pore bright serum and Medik 8 Crystal retinal in my routine. I really want to try the Faded one but it’s not available in the UK… I also loved the Face Theory vitamin Cs but the Glow recipe guava is my new fave!
you are so honest to say start first with the cheap products....and then your kits.......you are honest and really want to help skin of color....thank you dr V.
Thanks for this video and being honest. I’ve been struggling with dark spots since my teens (67 years old now). The acne stopped years ago but the post acne marks have lighten but remains on my face.
Another idea/project...a FB group, classes or channel or something geared towards professionals ( Estheticians and Dermatologist) who want to learn about what products or procedures are safe and effective and things that we need to avoid for SOC. I really don't think anything such thing exist. I would love to help if I can. There are just so many mistakes being taught in beauty schools everywhere when it comes to our skin.
Happy Sunday Dr V. That video was definitely an eye opener. Thank you so much for being honest and the wonderful person you are. It’s really helping POC with their skin journey, wasting money on products that want help us and will damage our skin. 💕
I received my order for your sunscreen & facial pigmentation. Sunscreen, the best! Hurray! I order 2 to avoid more shipping fees if ordered on separate occasion. Truly a leap of faith. Especially since returns aren’t free either. As for the facial pigmentation duo, more time needed before giving my review. But I was surprised they were in containers and not an airless pump?…
Help Dr.V! I have been using your facial pigmentation kit for about 5 months. I have spots top of cheekbone. One brown spot about one inch and the other about half an inch on the other side. Along with your facial pigment. kit I bought 2 inzincable. Sadly, I have not seen any improvement. And I am getting more spots in new areas (temples, close to eye area, both sides). At this point my pigmentation has not changed. While I was hopeful a few months in, seeing one side breaking up, I am not seeing results. and I have more on new areas. I love the sunscreen and wanted to try your most recent skincare line, but still on the fence about getting a second pigment, kit. Help! Any idea why these tiny spots are so stubborn!?! Prior to Paulas choice I had dabbed into Ordinary, but nothing special and like you said, combinations are best. layering on multiple products is a waste of money. I also have other friends who didn't get much out of the ordinary. I think it's a nice skincare line for young or for basic skincare needs. With Paulas choice, within days your skin looks better (superficial maybe) but within months you have a new face. I am very grateful for skincare education for skin of color. What do i do?
@@aratijagtap3538 Unfortunately it did not work for me. I emailed & they replied the following: "It sounds like your pigmentation is still spreading, and therefore it is difficult to stop the spread with treatment at present. Treatments such as ours work better when the pigmentation is stable and less stubborn. Should you wish to try a 2nd kit, it may be best to wait until the spread has stopped for a better chance of success." I did not repurchase & went back to Paulas choice which managed to get rid of the new spots that had developed while on Dr. V's Kit and has since also softened the two original ones that were about 1in or less. However, during the summer I didn't use Paula's Choice everyday because we had hotter than usual temps. I find that since using this kit, my skin has become reactive. I am slowly getting back into PC now that it is cooling down. For now I will not be repurchasing the sunscreen, as much as I loved it. Feeling deceived. I know that not everything will work on everyone the same but some of your statements contradict the email I got from your people. Not sure if they need more eduction or if it is something you can address here. Spent $317 but things got worse for me.
Jesus please keep this Woman for a longtime 🙏🏾. I can’t fast forward your videos, I listen to everything. I use your sunscreen btw and your book will always be in my Christmas list as gifts from next year. Thanks so much Dr. I like that you guard the SOC jealously. Don’t you dear label something for SOC when it actually isn’t 😂. Dr V will come at you, she’s got the monopoly 😂. By the way FADED is a good brand which is affordable, everyone raving about it, & made by Generation Z WOC. 👏👏👏
This is why I LOVE about Dr. V. She’s so transparent even with her own products. It’s her own brand and her own name that stamps it so understandably she would market it. BUT she also tells you there are other brands that are good to use and hers can be pricey so she markets other brands! You can tell she’s just passionate about making SOC like mine to be well cared for and have it maintained that way. I’m so glad I found her and Dr. Dray! Amazing ladies of medicine, in my book. I’m a bit biased toward Dr. V coz she gets my SOC skin 👍 thanks Dr. V!! 😄
Wow not sure how I found your channel but glad I did. Very informative topic. Another thing than people of colour suffer from is DPN or dermatosis papulosa nigra. I don’t hear or see that being talked about . It would be nice to hear your perspective on that, maybe in a future video or give recommendations as to what works and doesn’t work for DPN.
The Ordinary ends up being attractive because you know the percentages of the actives while in a lot of multi-active products, we have no idea how much of each active we're getting. It feels no-win sometimes :(
I LOVE your videos and i’ve been binging them for the past couple days! THANK YOU for this valuable information! Your channel is literally the BEST catalogue for women of color available and you do this for FREE???? You’re an angel ❤️
Hello, I ordered your hyperpigmentation kit. So far, no inflammation. Waiting on Daily Range kit and Zincable. Thank you for all your knowledge! Hugs from Arizona!☀️😎
I Love ❤️ how honest you are about the cost of your product and say “ use the more affordable product before buying mine” just makes me want to go buy your product 😆. Do you have promotions sometimes?
Iam surprised about your honesty, it’s very rare because most people just want to sell their product and they don’t mind if it burns your skin or not..Iam following from Kampala Uganda. We have a lot of sunshine and people use lightening creams a lot so they get dark patches in old age. I have ordered for your book on Amazon, For questions, kindly advise how best to reach you…
As always TFS your knowledge. I've been using the Good Molecules Discoloration Serum for a few months now and I must say for the price I was impressed and continue to see improvement.
The ordinary’s glycolic acid at 7%, I understand that it’s too high a concentration for the face, but would you recommend it for the body (I.e knees and maybe underarms)?
I've only used the Paulas Choice discoloration repair serum for 2 months and I love it. I have already noticed a difference and it feels really nice on the skin. I'm so glad to see it on your list😊
Unfortunately, Good Molecules didn’t work for me😞I used it consistently for 2 months too. I also play golf and I do use SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. I do wear a visor while playing and sunglasses between shots. I guess because where I live, Las Vegas, it gets hot and the sun can be brutal. Fortunately, I only play when it’s not too hot, but still, the sun is out almost all year round here. So, for me, it’s a challenge to keep the dark spots from fading. Thanks for all you recommendations!
Dr V , I have never seen the most genuine person on RUclips channel as you are and I love you for this 😘😘😘 You are our precious gem 💎 your every word is blessing for viewers of your channel 👏👏👏
From my experiencing, using 2% salicylic acid does produce a more even skin tone and of course keeps the pores clear. I’ve been using it for years and my skin tone is brighter and more even. I don’t think it’s a gimmick at all. However, I do realize that we need to take a holistic approach to skin care and add in other ingredients like the ones you mentioned.
@@cuayislara8622 Paula’s Choice 2% BHA exfoliant once per day. I used it like that for many years. I’m 44 now and my skin is more dry. I use it 2 to 3X per week now cause I also use tretinoin but the pores in my t zone still get congested.
Thank you for sharing. I'm Indian and I'm from the Caribbean. I've had acne and I'm left with some scars. I can totally relate to these products and it not working. Thanks for the explanation now I understand why it didn't work.
What about stratia liquid gold as a moisturizer for dark spots? Also I don’t think you’ve mentioned faded topicals? These are both extremely popular for darker skin
Great piece of research. Can you give a video on the career path, what course you should study if a child want to go into this path. For example for a chemical engineer, a doctor, a nurse or a pharmacist what are their possibilities in this field and what they should learn. Thank you for your great work and lots of love as always.
Good day Dr. V! Another great informational video 🙌🏽🙏🏽. Doc, can please do a video on the Brand Topicals (Faded, Like Butter) and another one on clindamycin? Thank you, Dr. V♥️
Great reminder and explanation about the importance of sunscreen, plus information specific to innate skin tone. Thank you and to everyone struggling with skin issues please take time to consistently uplift your emotional health as you journey to improved skin health.
Thank you so much for all your skincare videos Dr. V! You have been so much help. ☺️ Is there any possibility that you might do videos for frizzy hair and curly hairstyles? There’s so much less information for curly hairstyles just like how it is for skin of colour. It would be so much help if you can do that too 🥺🥺 Thank you so much again!! You are a lifesaver. ❤️
Thank you Dr. V for your super helpful videos! I am a huge fan! I love your transparency and honest reviews of products. You get the struggles and frustrations that people of color go through to find products and remedies for hyperpigmentation. You are truly a Godsend! I have recommended your video to friends. I hope one day your products will be available in the U.S.
Thank you so much, being looking at Google searched and discovered you on YT. Will follow your recommendations and cannot wait to give a try to your brand. Be and stay blessed.
Wow! I just found you and I love, love, love ❤️ how transparent and direct you are. I’m 54 y/o and I tend to get acne if I consume any product with nuts. have to read food labels very carefully; I break out within 2 days of eating something that “may contain nuts”. I’ve been using Faded about every other night for about 6 weeks and Vitamin C in the morning, Honest moisturizer, and of course tinted sunscreen CeraVe SPF 30, following recommendations from other channels. I haven’t seen any apparent results. I’m frustrated about the lack of information in the Faded packaging, I’ve gone online I haven’t had much luck. I hope I’m using correctly. I have sensitive skin and as you describe hyperpigmentation from just about anything. I went to get a “gentle” chemical peel by an esthetician familiar with the treatment of hyperpigmentation…Now, I have two dark spots, that are worse and more stubborn than the ones I had before. So, I’m so grateful I found you. I’ll be searching your library for more reviews and recommendation. Thank you for dedication. God bless.
Thank you for this video ! As always so happy to see a video pop up💫. Would you be happy to do a video around diet and acne ? I think think would be great so maybe helpful tips of things u can eat, or things that might make acne worse. Thank you 💫
Thank you for your honesty. I automatically subscribed because I could tell your really genuine about us understanding. I’m definitely interested in the book, kits, & other products. It’s definitely an investment that I will make soon. Thanks for helping us save and for your realness. I’m black medium tone and fungal acne left me with horrible dark marks. I’ve heard about good molecules, but I think you sold me on it. I’m excited to be apart of the community. Will be sending to family & friends. ❤️
Dr V. Black Opal! Please Review! They have a BHA Toner that is more reasonably priced than Paula's Choice and they also have Fade Gel and Cream. Very tried and True brand here in the USA.
Hi Dr V, can you please evaluate the brand Regimen labs. They are supposed to have a great serum for pigmentation called the Level serum and its a cocktail of the pigment inhibiting ingredients you usually recommend. In fact Dr. Dray called this the top brand for 2021 in her opinion, but I'd love to know your opinion on it. Thanks!
@Sandra De Silva - I am a dark skinned African sister. Being using the hyperpigmentation cocktail for over a month now. Absolutely fabulous! This is coming from someone who has wasted money on all kinds of products for facial hyperpigmentation
Dr v I recently went through the suganda brand again and since the time you have reviewed the brand they have really changed their products. They did remove fragrance from there products and have also changed and have some new formulations too can you review it again

It's been 2yrs since the last use and it hasn't come back. I appreciate you and your opinion as you give very valuable information. But because I've seen the results for myself I will definitely be giving it a try and if I remember will come back and give an update.
Hi
Any update yet?
I use to use the original Clinique product years ago when it first came out and it also got rid of my melasma. The new versions they have now don’t work for me 😢
I absolutely LOVE your transparency. Your are the first to give a straight forward explanation of and means to resolve. Thank You.
The eucerin pigment serum's key ingredient is thiamidol (Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol), an Eucerin patented ingredient, ranking 10th in the deck. If I remember correctly, their studies show that it can work with a low concentration.
Yes… I was hoping she’d talk about Thiamidol… but it’s a short video so she just glossed through it.
That’s How I know this video is a little bs because she trapped about the alcohol and the licorice root but key ingredient that makes it a brightening serum is Thiaidol which should be at a low concentration and just ignored ask if that and said don’t buy it . Weird af lol
Inzincable is hands down my favorite sunscreen however I live in America and although it's very affordable, the shipping makes it over $50. How can your American SOC fam help you with gettin something set up where Inzincable (and the rest of ur products) have lower shipping cost for us? I really want all my clients wearing Inzincable! It's so fantastic! Thanks Dr. V!!!
Working on this
This literally just made me jump outta my seat and scream, "Yes!!!"
I so agree on this, I wish our beauty stores like Sephora/Nordstrom had this
Yes the same for Canadians 🙏🏾
@@viviabarnett4072 YES! Please remember Canadians!
I’ve tried so many of the rubbish products here over the years 😫 . In the last 2. 1/2 years I switched to the ordinary and my skin completely transformed . Thank god for newer better brands and for dr V priceless advice!
Which products do u use from the ordinary. I want to try some of their products. Thank you
@@yasminkhan5569 I use inkey list salicylic cleanser first, then ordinary 10% niacinamide and moisturiser. Evening: cerave foaming cleanser, retinol, moisturiser. Once or twice a week instead of retinol I use ordinary 7% glycolic acid.( dr v doesn’t like this but my skin is quite resilient and doesn’t sting or get irritated by it at all, maybe use a less percentage one first)
Thank you.
So true with glycolic acid. I used to use pixi 5% glycolic acid toner and it made my skin soooooooooooooooo much worse. It took me atleast a year to figure it out what caused my skin to breakouts and hot spots this worst. I started to stop the products I was using one by one and finally figured out what caused the problem.
I've always worn SPF50 but two days ago my Inzincable arrived and I love it! It really does dissappear, the best SPF I've used so far. Thanks Dr V.
🤎
Hey Dr V can we get your products in South Africa
No matter what you say, I have always used Clinique and it suits me beautifully. I love my skin and how it feels even after next day once I wash off my face.
Salicylic acid has never worked for me. It doesn’t make me break out more, but it also doesn’t help heal my acne. Lactic acid makes me break out crazy. Glycolic acid makes my skin brighter and smoother but doesn’t help stop breakouts. What products of your skin care line would you recommend ?
I’ll investigate
You might want to look into/try mandelic acid.
Azaleic Acid is good. Paula’s choice has a good one.
@sarita Try azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or a retinoid. Adapelene OTC helped reduce 99% of my acne. I also use azelaic acid for more help with the acne and dark spots left behind. My face is a complete 180.
@@raulponce6660 thank you so much!
FOR US I EXPECT MORE…How empowering…Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Rattan…Sharon
Bought the "dark circle " kit. followed the instruction and, saw no results. Dark circles - developed only in recent years - are still ever present. So, for me, the dark circle kit costing GBP110 down plus shopping was a lost.
Dermalogica dark spot fader 100% have multiple clients on it & they are showing crazy results!
Hope it helps :)
I bought the Paula choice barrier moisturizer and my acne scars and dark marks are fading. Thank you so much Dr. V. Love you and I am going to purchase your book all about skin care. Thank Thank you.
Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Licorice root extract, Green tea extract, Octadecanoic acid, Kojic dipalmitate, Azaleic acid
Dr. V, your fan here from South Africa. Please review more Korean skincare brands, starting with Klairs.
Sure
Always makes my day when you upload!! I also ordered 2 Inzincables and can't wait to use them!
Some videos ideas because you said you were getting through your list:
- whiteheads
- review Boots Dermacare range (especially their cream please)
- best body oils/moisturiser
-Johnsons range (inc baby oil)
-dry skin video
-dry skin on the body and how to treat
-more face theory reviews (they have a zinc oxide SPF!)
- Aveeno dermexa range
- more videos on your new book and daily range, showing applications etc
Thank you for everything you do!! Don't know where we would be without you! 😊 ♥
Thank you
I used the Clinique even better. It did absolutely nothing for me and I got the whole range. It was so expensive. Thank you so much Dr V
I use the Glow Recipe Guava serum, Face Theory Exaglow, Niod Repigment serum, TO alpha arbutin, PC Azeliac acid and Pore bright serum and Medik 8 Crystal retinal in my routine. I really want to try the Faded one but it’s not available in the UK…
I also loved the Face Theory vitamin Cs but the Glow recipe guava is my new fave!
you are so honest to say start first with the cheap products....and then your kits.......you are honest and really want to help skin of color....thank you dr V.
Thanks for this video and being honest. I’ve been struggling with dark spots since my teens (67 years old now). The acne stopped years ago but the post acne marks have lighten but remains on my face.
It would be great if you do a video series on hair care, farmer’s tan and how to take care of your hands!! Thank you!
Sure
Another idea/project...a FB group, classes or channel or something geared towards professionals ( Estheticians and Dermatologist) who want to learn about what products or procedures are safe and effective and things that we need to avoid for SOC. I really don't think anything such thing exist. I would love to help if I can. There are just so many mistakes being taught in beauty schools everywhere when it comes to our skin.
Sure
Happy Sunday Dr V. That video was definitely an eye opener. Thank you so much for being honest and the wonderful person you are. It’s really helping POC with their skin journey, wasting money on products that want help us and will damage our skin. 💕
❤️
I received my order for your sunscreen & facial pigmentation. Sunscreen, the best! Hurray! I order 2 to avoid more shipping fees if ordered on separate occasion. Truly a leap of faith. Especially since returns aren’t free either. As for the facial pigmentation duo, more time needed before giving my review. But I was surprised they were in containers and not an airless pump?…
Hey any review on dr v facial pigmentation kit ?
Help Dr.V! I have been using your facial pigmentation kit for about 5 months. I have spots top of cheekbone. One brown spot about one inch and the other about half an inch on the other side. Along with your facial pigment. kit I bought 2 inzincable. Sadly, I have not seen any improvement. And I am getting more spots in new areas (temples, close to eye area, both sides). At this point my pigmentation has not changed. While I was hopeful a few months in, seeing one side breaking up, I am not seeing results. and I have more on new areas. I love the sunscreen and wanted to try your most recent skincare line, but still on the fence about getting a second pigment, kit. Help! Any idea why these tiny spots are so stubborn!?! Prior to Paulas choice I had dabbed into Ordinary, but nothing special and like you said, combinations are best. layering on multiple products is a waste of money. I also have other friends who didn't get much out of the ordinary. I think it's a nice skincare line for young or for basic skincare needs. With Paulas choice, within days your skin looks better (superficial maybe) but within months you have a new face. I am very grateful for skincare education for skin of color. What do i do?
@@aratijagtap3538 Unfortunately it did not work for me. I emailed & they replied the following: "It sounds like your pigmentation is still spreading, and therefore it is difficult to stop the spread with treatment at present. Treatments such as ours work better when the pigmentation is stable and less stubborn. Should you wish to try a 2nd kit, it may be best to wait until the spread has stopped for a better chance of success." I did not repurchase & went back to Paulas choice which managed to get rid of the new spots that had developed while on Dr. V's Kit and has since also softened the two original ones that were about 1in or less. However, during the summer I didn't use Paula's Choice everyday because we had hotter than usual temps. I find that since using this kit, my skin has become reactive. I am slowly getting back into PC now that it is cooling down. For now I will not be repurchasing the sunscreen, as much as I loved it. Feeling deceived. I know that not everything will work on everyone the same but some of your statements contradict the email I got from your people. Not sure if they need more eduction or if it is something you can address here. Spent $317 but things got worse for me.
@@cessiahc Wow. So sorry to hear that. What Paula's choice products helped you clear it up
Aaaahhh maaan! I kept crossing my fingers that you wouldn’t mention Clinique. Bought a bottle just two weeks ago🤦🏽♀️
Jesus please keep this Woman for a longtime 🙏🏾. I can’t fast forward your videos, I listen to everything. I use your sunscreen btw and your book will always be in my Christmas list as gifts from next year. Thanks so much Dr. I like that you guard the SOC jealously. Don’t you dear label something for SOC when it actually isn’t 😂. Dr V will come at you, she’s got the monopoly 😂. By the way FADED is a good brand which is affordable, everyone raving about it, & made by Generation Z WOC. 👏👏👏
❤️
Calm down
Truly the info is 👏
This is why I LOVE about Dr. V. She’s so transparent even with her own products. It’s her own brand and her own name that stamps it so understandably she would market it. BUT she also tells you there are other brands that are good to use and hers can be pricey so she markets other brands! You can tell she’s just passionate about making SOC like mine to be well cared for and have it maintained that way. I’m so glad I found her and Dr. Dray! Amazing ladies of medicine, in my book. I’m a bit biased toward Dr. V coz she gets my SOC skin 👍 thanks Dr. V!! 😄
Wow not sure how I found your channel but glad I did. Very informative topic. Another thing than people of colour suffer from is DPN or dermatosis papulosa nigra. I don’t hear or see that being talked about . It would be nice to hear your perspective on that, maybe in a future video or give recommendations as to what works and doesn’t work for DPN.
The Ordinary ends up being attractive because you know the percentages of the actives while in a lot of multi-active products, we have no idea how much of each active we're getting. It feels no-win sometimes :(
I LOVE your videos and i’ve been binging them for the past couple days! THANK YOU for this valuable information! Your channel is literally the BEST catalogue for women of color available and you do this for FREE???? You’re an angel ❤️
Hello, I ordered your hyperpigmentation kit. So far, no inflammation. Waiting on Daily Range kit and Zincable. Thank you for all your knowledge! Hugs from Arizona!☀️😎
Correction: InZincable SPF. Also following your routine
I Love ❤️ how honest you are about the cost of your product and say “ use the more affordable product before buying mine” just makes me want to go buy your product 😆. Do you have promotions sometimes?
Iam surprised about your honesty, it’s very rare because most people just want to sell their product and they don’t mind if it burns your skin or not..Iam following from Kampala Uganda. We have a lot of sunshine and people use lightening creams a lot so they get dark patches in old age.
I have ordered for your book on Amazon, For questions, kindly advise how best to reach you…
As always TFS your knowledge. I've been using the Good Molecules Discoloration Serum for a few months now and I must say for the price I was impressed and continue to see improvement.
Did you just put it on the scars or all face?
Can you do a review on Korean skin care products for darker skin please? Thank you for all your videos 🥰
The ordinary’s glycolic acid at 7%, I understand that it’s too high a concentration for the face, but would you recommend it for the body (I.e knees and maybe underarms)?
Yes! Happy you put this out! Time to get educated!
I've only used the Paulas Choice discoloration repair serum for 2 months and I love it. I have already noticed a difference and it feels really nice on the skin. I'm so glad to see it on your list😊
❤️
Which inhibitors are in this serum?
When do you apply this serum within your skincare routine?
can it reduce pigmentation pls reoly
Hi Dr. V Please let me know is it necessary to put on sunscreen when going to bed ?
Unfortunately, Good Molecules didn’t work for me😞I used it consistently for 2 months too. I also play golf and I do use SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. I do wear a visor while playing and sunglasses between shots. I guess because where I live, Las Vegas, it gets hot and the sun can be brutal. Fortunately, I only play when it’s not too hot, but still, the sun is out almost all year round here. So, for me, it’s a challenge to keep the dark spots from fading. Thanks for all you recommendations!
Dr V , I have never seen the most genuine person on RUclips channel as you are and I love you for this 😘😘😘 You are our precious gem 💎 your every word is blessing for viewers of your channel 👏👏👏
I love how you say to leave your products last. You're not just trying to make money off of us.
From my experiencing, using 2% salicylic acid does produce a more even skin tone and of course keeps the pores clear. I’ve been using it for years and my skin tone is brighter and more even. I don’t think it’s a gimmick at all. However, I do realize that we need to take a holistic approach to skin care and add in other ingredients like the ones you mentioned.
How do you use 2%salicylic acid
Every day? Morning ? O r night ( brand?) 😉
@@cuayislara8622
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA exfoliant once per day. I used it like that for many years. I’m 44 now and my skin is more dry. I use it 2 to 3X per week now cause I also use tretinoin but the pores in my t zone still get congested.
@@BAO81877
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for sharing. I'm Indian and I'm from the Caribbean. I've had acne and I'm left with some scars. I can totally relate to these products and it not working. Thanks for the explanation now I understand why it didn't work.
What about stratia liquid gold as a moisturizer for dark spots? Also I don’t think you’ve mentioned faded topicals? These are both extremely popular for darker skin
I’ll review
Im so happy tht lm using the Good Molecules here. Of course l am seeing so much different in 2 weeks.
Thank you for being such an advocate for people with skin of color.
What are your thoughts on Urban Skin Rx Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment?
Dr Vanita what do you think about the product Faded??
I’ll review
@@vanitarattan pls review Faded from the brand Topicals 😀 thank you doctor
Please review this product: hypercorrect intense fading cream. Thank you! Does it work? Should we buy it?
Hello Dr.V. What facial treatment for hyperpigmentation would you recommend to an aestheticians in the treatment room for people of color?
I’ve done a video
The fact that my dermatologist recommended discoloration defense as an alternative to bleaching hyperpigmentation 🙃
Great piece of research.
Can you give a video on the career path, what course you should study if a child want to go into this path.
For example for a chemical engineer, a doctor, a nurse or a pharmacist what are their possibilities in this field and what they should learn.
Thank you for your great work and lots of love as always.
Yes
What do you think of Garden of Wisdom - Alpha Arbutin 2% and Kojic Acid 1% Serum. Very underrated. Really effective, highly recommended!
Good day Dr. V! Another great informational video 🙌🏽🙏🏽. Doc, can please do a video on the Brand Topicals (Faded, Like Butter) and another one on clindamycin?
Thank you, Dr. V♥️
Yes
Great reminder and explanation about the importance of sunscreen, plus information specific to innate skin tone. Thank you and to
everyone struggling with skin issues please take time to consistently uplift your emotional health as you journey to improved skin health.
Thank you so much for all your skincare videos Dr. V! You have been so much help. ☺️ Is there any possibility that you might do videos for frizzy hair and curly hairstyles? There’s so much less information for curly hairstyles just like how it is for skin of colour. It would be so much help if you can do that too 🥺🥺 Thank you so much again!! You are a lifesaver. ❤️
Sure
Thank you Dr. V for your super helpful videos! I am a huge fan! I love your transparency and honest reviews of products. You get the struggles and frustrations that people of color go through to find products and remedies for hyperpigmentation. You are truly a Godsend! I have recommended your video to friends. I hope one day your products will be available in the U.S.
I love you Ma'am for always coming through for us blacks.
Thank you so much, being looking at Google searched and discovered you on YT. Will follow your recommendations and cannot wait to give a try to your brand. Be and stay blessed.
What about Faded by Topicals?
I’ll review
Wow! I just found you and I love, love, love ❤️ how transparent and direct you are. I’m 54 y/o and I tend to get acne if I consume any product with nuts. have to read food labels very carefully; I break out within 2 days of eating something that “may contain nuts”. I’ve been using Faded about every other night for about 6 weeks and Vitamin C in the morning, Honest moisturizer, and of course tinted sunscreen CeraVe SPF 30, following recommendations from other channels. I haven’t seen any apparent results. I’m frustrated about the lack of information in the Faded packaging, I’ve gone online I haven’t had much luck. I hope I’m using correctly. I have sensitive skin and as you describe hyperpigmentation from just about anything. I went to get a “gentle” chemical peel by an esthetician familiar with the treatment of hyperpigmentation…Now, I have two dark spots, that are worse and more stubborn than the ones I had before.
So, I’m so grateful I found you. I’ll be searching your library for more reviews and recommendation. Thank you for dedication. God bless.
Thank you for this video ! As always so happy to see a video pop up💫. Would you be happy to do a video around diet and acne ? I think think would be great so maybe helpful tips of things u can eat, or things that might make acne worse. Thank you 💫
Absolutely
You dont have shipping to sweden? How come?
Thank you for your honesty. I automatically subscribed because I could tell your really genuine about us understanding. I’m definitely interested in the book, kits, & other products. It’s definitely an investment that I will make soon. Thanks for helping us save and for your realness. I’m black medium tone and fungal acne left me with horrible dark marks.

You are taking some of these terrible products right down! Awesome and educational!
Dr V. Black Opal! Please Review! They have a BHA Toner that is more reasonably priced than Paula's Choice and they also have Fade Gel and Cream.
Very tried and True brand here in the USA.
Hi Dr V, can you please evaluate the brand Regimen labs. They are supposed to have a great serum for pigmentation called the Level serum and its a cocktail of the pigment inhibiting ingredients you usually recommend. In fact Dr. Dray called this the top brand for 2021 in her opinion, but I'd love to know your opinion on it. Thanks!
Yes
@Sandra De Silva - I am a dark skinned African sister. Being using the hyperpigmentation cocktail for over a month now. Absolutely fabulous! This is coming from someone who has wasted money on all kinds of products for facial hyperpigmentation
Where can I find this serum?
