Hello doctor, thank you so much for your efforts , and I'm really looking forward to try all your products but unfortunately no shipping to middle east and i was wondering when it will be available.
I’m a medical Esthetician and a lot of my coworkers don’t get why I can’t do the same peels as them or use the same products being a woman of colour. They think I’m being dramatic but my skin has been ruined before. I know what works for me and skin of colour. Thanks Dr. V
I’ve been using alpha Arbutin for months and it’s a S L O W process. I use it faithfully, didn’t know it was great after exfoliating so I’ll have to try it on my exfoliate day!
@@taylorredmond4587 wait so you cleanse the skin, exfoliate and then apply arbutin + the antioxidant serum together? Then perhaps finish off with the moisturiser and sunscreen?
@@ufatemav4509 Hi. I’ve always used alpha Arbutin, I just didn’t know it was good for after exfoliating. So I’ve added that to my exfoliating nights! But yes, now I will cleanse, exfoliate, alpha Arbutin and antioxidant serum and then moisturize. I do that once a week. I only exfoliate at night.
We appreciate your sacrifice and study Dr. V. As a woman of color, it has been so deflating- going to dermatologists for years that had NEVER studied my skin. As if my skin and the people around the world with my skin were not worthy. A horrible and misguided era of medicine.
One thing Dr.V has taught me is how to read an ingredients list and since watching her videos i read EVERY list on food, skincare, hair care and i thank you for that.
I used to live in Japan a number of years ago and Tranexamic acid and Arbutin are used a lot in their whitening creams and lotions, i've used Japanese skincare for many years now and like both ingredients. I was pretty surprised and also glad to see them make their way into Western skincare too, as previously I only got them from my Japanese skincare from brands like Kose, Hada Labo and Sana. I use both for a power combo!! I'm using Face theory Exaglow, TO Arbutin and the premium whitening toner and cream for Hada Labo, all have tyrosinase inhibitors :)
I’m using tranexamic acid by Paula’s Choice, alpha arbutin by Good Molecules on alternate days or times of day but not together. I’m also using CeraVe retinol serum, CeraVe moisturizer and an excellent sunscreen and I have been using a red light mask for just over a week. The results are happening and I’m really pleased and excited! Thanks so much for your work.
The Ordinary: Mandelic Acid in the evening (exfoliate) Alpa Arbutin in the morning Sunscreen every day This is what I was told, would do good together helping out with my pigmentation 😊
I had severe case of melasma this summer ! And now it’s almost back to normal. I hope you don’t mind sharing these products i use. I’m south east asian living in Europe- i think the sun here is so harsh! Am: - vitamin c - cerave moisturizer - sunscreen Pm: - fulvic acid cleanser inkey - niacimide - alpha arbutin the ordinary - tranexamic acid inkey list - cerave moisturizer Took few months to see the difference then i added retinol only at night and bam. Retinol Ugly for 2 weeks. And now my skin is so smooth and even.
@@adit12627 yes, used the combination of niacinamide, alpha arbutin and tranexamic acid for both am and pm, never got any problem as long as I used sunscreen
I also love Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium which has tranexamic and licorice.. It helped brighten my skin and alleviate any irritation/redness from using tretinoin. 💕
I am so thankful that I have found your videos I am a Hispanic woman dealing with malasma and pigmentation for so many years I’ve done all the treatments that you have mentioned,I was so tired of trying so many things and nothing have worked,but I am so excited to try your kit I am so happy that you are helping so many people of skin color I know I will be a testimony of your products may GOD continues giving you more wisdom in your career 😘
Dr V you've cured my skin. I had acne prone skin since teenage years and I tried everything, as everyone does with this problematic skin. But since I've found you my skin is soooooooooooooooo much better now. Everytime I see myself in the mirror I pray for you. May God gives loads of success in what you're doing 🥰❤
@@m.younis9849 AM routine: Garnier Salicylic acid face wash. Clinique moisture surge 72 hours Colorscience sunscreen spf50 (glow) PM routine: Garnier Salicylic acid face wash. Facetheory T1 Clarifying toner Facetheory Regena c30 vitamin C serum Facetheory Porebright serum N10 I would say Facetheory products have improved my skin massively. Watch the full video on RUclips on facetheory products by Dr V. I use both serums alternate nights.
Dr V, you have cured my skin and I cant be more thankful. I have acne prone combination skin and suffered from teensger to until 35, until I found you! My skin is so clear, i dont get any pimples, all my pigmentation has disappeared and its all because of you. I thank my stars to the day I stumbled upon your videos. God bless you!
Faded by Topicals is a perfect example of a serum that has both of these ingredients along with others working together to knock out hyperpigmentation.
I’m sooo thankful you were born! I’m Native American and Mexican, needless to say there’s not much info out there for us brown girls. My melasma looks like a mustache with callus like skin over it. During a Tele visit my doctor prescribed Tri-Luma. Seems to be working because it’s almost gone. Though I’m concerned what to do for maintaining. Do you have a product that helps control melasma?
Thanks Dr v!! Please please do a video on peptides for our skin with how to incorporate into routine snd product recommendations!!! No one is talking about peptides for skin of colour !!! 😍
I am white complexion and I have melasma on upper lip. I went to the dermatologist and he told me it's due to menopause. I am 59 years old, and Puerto Rican (mixed). I am using Tranexamic Topic Acid 5%, Alpha Arbutin, and Vitamin C with hyaluronic acid in the AM, and Retinol in the PM.
8:18m in and from me to you, Dr V you have opened my eyes so much on my skin card. I just love listening to you as you are such a natural in your videos and very informative
So glad I came across this video. I’ll definitely be watching your other videos. It’s nice to have relatable skincare videos from a brown/black person, and your a Brit as well!! So I can relate on multiple levels. Thanks!
I‘m using the Paula‘s Choice Discoloration Repair Serum and I had no problems with irritation. I’m using it right after the Ordinary’s Alpha Arbutin and I think they work well together. Thanks Dr. V!
I was just thinking about this. I too use PC discolouration and The Ordinary Alpha Aurbtin in the same routine. Does is render it ineffective as the PH levels are different?
Whenever you say “one scratch, one bite, one burn and we hyper pigment”, I feel in my spirit that you are talking about me. 😩 Unfortunately, if none of that happens, like I just get a pimple and work so hard to not touch it, it hyperpigments just as bad if I were to pop it. 😩
Thank you Dr V for your dedication in educating us skin of colour ladies here in SA ,your imput has saved me soo much money and truely empowered me that am finally treating my own hyperpigmentation insted of Dr visits monthly,reall so appreciated,best regards from south africa
Hello Dr V Please make a video about 1) difference between hyperpigmentation and melasma 2) skin recipes pleaseee you mentioned in your video about dull skin routine for skin of colour 3) what's your take on minimalist tranexamic acid
Hey Dr. V, I can't thank you enough for your content and the effort you put into educating us noobs in skincare. Could you please review the products from the brand 'PLUM', it's an Indian vegan brand and like using some of it's products. However, I cannot break down it's ingredients and their effectiveness. It has also recently launched it's '10% Niacinamide Serum with Rice Ferment Extract'. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
If you live in the US, Topicals Faded and PTR have products that contain multiple tyrosinase inhibitors (e.g., Niacinamide, Kojic acid, alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, licorice root, glutathione, melatonin) in a single product.
Hi Dr. V I’d love for you to review Topicals Faded. It seems to be pretty good for SOC but just wanted to know what you have to say. Thanks for all the knowledge! Love and support 💕
Love that you do videos on skin of color and I’ve been thinking about switching from alpha Arbutin to tranexamic acid and of course, you have a video on it! Thank you!!
Dr V I searched for fragrance free Mineral Lip sunscreens and found these two: 1. Vanicream lip spf 2. Colorescience spf 50 balm Could you review them and let us know if they are safe Dr V ?
Thanks for educating us. My skin has phenomenal improvement since I changed my skincare routine according to your recommendation. So thanks for that. I wanted to ask if I will able to preorder the acne products that showed on your stories recently so I can take free shipping this month.
Ohhh myy goodness, I just came across this page and I’m already in love lol I can’t wait to binge watch your YT vids and share them with my loved ones 💛.
Dr V although I am in love with this channel and appreciate you wholeheartedly. I am getting decision fatigue at this moment sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the market lol . I am hoping that your line releasing in jan covers all my anti-aging , soc , oily concerns. I want to use a line without worry lol. We need a anti aging lotion for dry skin for the body! 💕
Kindly review deconstruct products in India (please) Your reviews for be minimalist have really worked for me. My skin used to get irritated with 10% niacinamide from ordinary and i used to wonder why as everyone raved about it. I now use 5% niacinamide from be minimalist and it’s working really well for me.
Thanks for explaining what happened to the first fb group. I was so confused! And thanks for the education you provide its so priceless and so appreciated!
Just watched this video and went to FB to join ur group. Am very excited to learn more about how to care for my face and i value ur thoughts since we both are women of color.
Hi Dr. V, Thank you for such amazing content! I've been reading around that it's not safe/recommended to use alpha arbutin for more than 3 months at a time. /: Could you shed some light on this? Should I be careful about using alpha arbutin year round?? Thank you!!!
Hi Dr V.. thank you for taking your time to explain all you do in details for us. Your skin is flawless and beautiful, if you don’t mind can you pls post a pic of your hyperpigmentation in one of your videos.
I was prescribed Tranexamic acid % by my skin doctor. Used it for like a year to remove sunburns/ melasma. It made my skin color too pale looking, and whenever I am running or exposed to the sun it turned red. I stopped using, I still have the sunburns and pigmentation
You are the best Dr❤❤🇿🇦, my skin improved because of your informative videos l learned so much l agree with you that skin of color we don't need skin needling and chemical peels. Thank you Dr. ..
Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between alpha arbutin and tranexamic acid! It came at the exact right moment! Do you have experience with the Revox alpha arbutin? Would love to hear your opinion on that for SoC! 😊
Thank you so much for mentioning product available in India , can you please help me know how should we use Salicylic acid and dermaco arbutin , can we use it both together?
8:00-8:55 (sniff sniff) 😢 😢 ….. 🤧 … AUNTIE V! WE LOVE YOU SO MUUCH! 💕🥰🙃🥺😇🤗🤗. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sincerest thank you and gratitude from the bottom of my heart for all you do and who you are. You’re making history. You’re a part of this movement taking place in the beauty & skincare industry right now. Idk if you know but I’m just going to remind you. SOC faces are being TRANSFORMED with all this great advice. I know. I’m proof of it. You’re holding these manufacturing companies accountable by scrutinizing their inkey lists. Can you imagine? Certainly we would love to have done this properly, before you. Do we not check labels in grocery stores? I do. However, we had no clue as to what we were looking for/at. Then you arrived to scene, beautiful and oh so knowledgeable, and began breaking bread. (Literally, I warm up tea, fire some toast and take notes when a new video is released.) You’re sharing your wealth by imparting these gold nuggets of information. It’s enough to make me speechless. You show up and advocate for us. Like a top-of-the-line lawyer. Like a friend. I think I speak for all your listeners, from all the shades of different colors, who benefit from your advice when I say “thank you.” 😌
Hi Dr V! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide us with! If I bought your body pigmentation kit, would I also be able to use it on some parts of my face (around my mouth)? Just asking because I have stubborn PIH in my underarm area, but also have a little bit of hyperpigmentation around the lower half of my mouth. The kit is a little pricey so I just want to buy one to start with (out of the facial and body pigmentation kit). Which one do you recommend?
I just love your contents. I am from india. I have a question. Is there any side effects of using AA for a long time as it is a derivative of hydroquinone???
Hi Dr. V! Thank you so much for this video! Do you recommend applying moisturizer after actives for acne ("sandwich method")? Ex. You apply moisturizer, salicylic acid spot treatment, and then moisturizer again to avoid dryness/irritation?
Wonderful video Dr V. Can you do a video on how to treat old burn/bruised scars? Also, after giving birth to my two boys, I noticed black dots around my body - neck, face and back. They look like moles but I have no idea what it is. Why does this happen?
hello, is there any ingredient to soothe the inflammation that these actives can cause with which we can layer them beforehand? Thank You so much for such less- talked information that we need.
Hi Dr V! I do basic skin care everyday which include cleanser+ toner+ moisturiser+ sunscreen. I want to experiment a bit with it. Should I add Vit C or Niacinamide considering Winters are around the corner and I am getting dry patches?
Hi Dr. V Thank you for such amazing content!! You are saving skin health of so many people out there. Thank you!!! Please review minimalist sunscreens. It will be beneficial

This might be due to some other reason.Because research suggest that alpha arbutin doesn't give rebound pigmentation
Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between alpha arbutin and tranexamic acid! It came at the exact right moment! Do you have experience with the Revox alpha arbutin? Would love to hear your opinion on that for SoC! 😊
I’ll do a video
@@vanitarattan does alpha arbutin make your skin sun sensitive?
You’re helping us Dr V.
Thanks
Thank you so much for mentioning product available in India , can you please help me know how should we use Salicylic acid and dermaco arbutin , can we use it both together?
8:00-8:55 (sniff sniff) 😢 😢 ….. 🤧 … AUNTIE V! WE LOVE YOU SO MUUCH! 💕🥰🙃🥺😇🤗🤗. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sincerest thank you and gratitude from the bottom of my heart for all you do and who you are. You’re making history. You’re a part of this movement taking place in the beauty & skincare industry right now. Idk if you know but I’m just going to remind you. SOC faces are being TRANSFORMED with all this great advice. I know. I’m proof of it.
You’re holding these manufacturing companies accountable by scrutinizing their inkey lists. Can you imagine? Certainly we would love to have done this properly, before you. Do we not check labels in grocery stores? I do. However, we had no clue as to what we were looking for/at. Then you arrived to scene, beautiful and oh so knowledgeable, and began breaking bread. (Literally, I warm up tea, fire some toast and take notes when a new video is released.) You’re sharing your wealth by imparting these gold nuggets of information. It’s enough to make me speechless.
You show up and advocate for us. Like a top-of-the-line lawyer. Like a friend. I think I speak for all your listeners, from all the shades of different colors, who benefit from your advice when I say “thank you.” 😌
Auntie V ? Seriously ...she isn't your aunt .. can't you be professional?
Hi doctor, can you do a video on keratosis pilaris, please? What skincare products should people with this skin condition use? Thank you.
I've found products with salicylic acid works for me.
Hi Dr V! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide us with! If I bought your body pigmentation kit, would I also be able to use it on some parts of my face (around my mouth)? Just asking because I have stubborn PIH in my underarm area, but also have a little bit of hyperpigmentation around the lower half of my mouth. The kit is a little pricey so I just want to buy one to start with (out of the facial and body pigmentation kit). Which one do you recommend?
I just love your contents. I am from india. I have a question. Is there any side effects of using AA for a long time as it is a derivative of hydroquinone???
How often should you wear Alpha Arbutin? And is it okay to wear in winter?
Keep up the good work Dr. V. Your videos are the best .
Also can any one tell me form what age can we start using alpha arbutin. Thanks in advance❤
I see a gem right here!! Lots of love ❤️

Hi Dr. V! Thank you so much for this video! Do you recommend applying moisturizer after actives for acne ("sandwich method")? Ex. You apply moisturizer, salicylic acid spot treatment, and then moisturizer again to avoid dryness/irritation?
I’ve done a video for this
Thank you Dr V. Your videos are precisely what we need. Love from India.

Wonderful video Dr V. Can you do a video on how to treat old burn/bruised scars? Also, after giving birth to my two boys, I noticed black dots around my body - neck, face and back. They look like moles but I have no idea what it is. Why does this happen?
hello, is there any ingredient to soothe the inflammation that these actives can cause with which we can layer them beforehand? Thank You so much for such less- talked information that we need.
Hi Dr V! I do basic skin care everyday which include cleanser+ toner+ moisturiser+ sunscreen. I want to experiment a bit with it. Should I add Vit C or Niacinamide considering Winters are around the corner and I am getting dry patches?
I’ll do a video
