A full skincare routine with products which have these ingredients for combo skin would be great! I’d say I have more so hormonal acne, tend to get really red spots and have old dark acne brown marks/scars.
Thank you! I’ve struggled with acne since middle school 😩. Now I mainly struggle with hormonal acne and I’m trying to make changes to my skincare and all of your videos have helped me so much.
Wish I'd known this when I was 13 or so. I still have marks on my forehead from then and they still haven't faded or gone. I'm 22 now. Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Dr V, you've saved me for wasting hundreds of dollars on medical grade brands that did nothing but inflame my skin and exacerbate my hyperpigmentation. You are so appreciated 💛
Thankful for you. I had kind of come to this conclusion after watching so many previous videos. “Salicylic/niacinamide/mandelic/“ is all I go for and my skin has been less irritated since leaving glycolic products alone. ❤️🙏🏾
For those looking for good serum/toner with less than 5% niacinamide to try and minimize purging Good Molecules is a great brand. Their Niacinamide brightening toner contains 3% (along with ethylated ascorbic A- and licorice root) and their Discoloration correction serum contains 4% niacinamide ( along with cetyl tranexamate mesylate aka gentle form of tranexamic A-). HTH. Cheers!
Thank you Dr. V! Loved your pause, "followed by the words are not coming out." Goodness do I ever have those moments lately. I think our brains are overwhelmed by the stress of managing career, family and the ravages of Covid. Hang in there!
Holy nuggets! Ahh! I’m so stinking excited, FINALLY someone who actually knows how to help us of color and actually understands the issues we have. You are AMAZING! I’ve been having an issue with acne my whole life and hitting 30 made it worse. I finally went to a dermatologist and he almost immediately put me on something called accutane and man it sucks. But I will be getting off of it after I watch your videos. Because now I’m excited to have good products for me my skin. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Hi Dr. V, I'm thrilled to hear that you're developing a high SPF sunscreen for women of colour. When is it being released? Could you please make sure it will be able to ship to Canada? Much love 🥰
My hyperpigmentation is clearing up so nicely!!!! I never thought i would be able to see any improvement w it!!!i finally have THAT GLOW ❤😭😭 I tried every acne wash & drug store skin product and nothing worked after watching you i learned i shouldnt even be using certain things on my skin...🤦🏽♀️😩...Alpha Arbutin & Niacinimide will forever be apart of my skincare routine they really are magical products!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much Dr. V for all the content you give us! ❤
Hi Autumn, when do you apply/layer Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide ? I mean what do you apply before that and after that? Trying to understand how to layer them....bit confusing! Thanks - Rupa
@@rupashreedey1592 Hello Rupa 🤗 this is what i do 1)double cleanse 2)Alpha Arbutin 3)niacinimide 4) retinol 6)moisturize (and eyecream) 7)oil (grapeseed) this is what i do at night time 😊 but to keep it simple i use Alpha Arbutin 1st then Niacinimide..❤❤
@@rupashreedey1592 Morning = use face wash (no fragrance) on damp skin use Niacinamide layer it with mositure n spf. Night = alpha arbutin + retinol ,mositure You can also use other actives at night. But please do a patch test ones
"the year 2020 we are all just walking around with acne marks" couldn't agree more.. I have got my first flare of acne in 2020 never had them before and now just left with ugly red brown spots.. I blame it on year and nothing else 😕😕
Same here...i never haf acne and in 2020 i was breaking out with cystic acne and fungal acne. Right now i have managed to get it under control with quitring diary but left with acne scars!
Thank God for your channel. I still have acne scars from my teens, and I’m almost 30! Most products that were very popular when I was a teen were terrible for skin of color. I wish stayed clear of Clean&Clear, St.Ives apricot scrub, and products by Neutragena. Those brands messed up my screen and over dried it.
Hi Dr V, this is my second request please can you do a video on layering for anti-ageing with combination skin? I'm getting really confused from different videos. Thank you x
You've changed my skincare game to a whole new level Dr. V. Forever grateful for your informative contents. Please keep educating us and keep being awesome 😍 And I'm one of your fan who follows along your line "Fragrance is the number one cause of contact dermatitis" 🙈
Yasssss, I really needed this. Your videos have been extremely informative and have taught me about the products that I need that cater to skin of colour.
I am interested in your sunscreen. As a black woman, I traverse the hallways of my home in ghostlike likeness with my spf every day....rain, snow or shine😀. My husband looks and laughs but understands my skin care methods. Also, he would be more inclined to wear a physical sunscreen that does not ash him out! 😁 All the best and thank you kindly for all you do!
Dr V I've literally no words how to thankyou words are just can't justify my emotions and how grateful I'm because of your informative videos you're absolutely my skin savior !! Months ago My skin broke out horribly and later on I got burns from essential oils and my skin become more worse even I got treatment from dermatologist as well but nothing worked then I found your RUclips channel and oh my God because of you I got to know my skin barrier is damaged and I just gave rest to my skin and now it's healed 80% God bless you !! Don't stop please make more and more informative videos regularly we absolutely need it !! And lastly believe me or not this is my true story
I did not even finish watching the video, as soon as you made an announcement I went straight to the link! Super excited....I have been waiting so long for this. Naturally I have question relating to the Facial Pigmentation kit but I am sure you will do a more in depth video in due course. Thank you so so much!!!!
So steps are 1. wash face with benzoyl peroxide wash, 2. salicylic acid, 3. azelaic acid + niacinamide.....and then 4. the kit? Or can we miss out step 3? I’m wondering what to stock up while waiting for the kit, I don’t want duplicates lol x
Thank you so much for what you are doing, the time and dedication you put into these videos, Dr V. I learnt so much from your videos and recommended them to lots of friends. 🙏🏽
Hi Dr. V - I love your channel and you've completely changed how I view skin care as POC. Ok riddle me this: Sunscreen everyday - check Don't go to bed with sunscreen on - check, I'll just cleanse Don't use a cleanser everyday - uh what about my sunscreen? Can you also please do a video about reducing redness/spider veins around the nostrils? Thank you!
oh my god!! me too! it s been years since I HAVE HAD ACNE on my back but some of the scars won't go away!! some just vanished others stay - dont know why.. I actually gonna start using products that I use on my face directly on the area- which is not easy as I can't see it well..
Heyyyy Dr V! Today I just want to take some time to Thank you rather than asking anything!! I have started skin care because of you! Stopped wearing clean and clear or other toxic products. Thank you so much. I love you and keep doing the good works! Thank you ❤❤
How do I find a dermatologist who understands my skin is different! I have lighter skin but it’s olive skin and I feel like dermatologists I’ve seen don’t understand that any mark on my face stays there literally forever. They just give me the same recipe they give every other client. Here’s some benzoyl peroxide and some antibiotics 😭 So happy to find you. I saw your video with Susan Yara. So thankful for the information
@@ishratjahan6927 hey dear as per dr V recommends anything with no fragrance with no drying alcohols and that is non comedogenic. There are many brands as such as cerave dry to very dry one , then drunk elephant polypeptide one and then neutrogena ultra boost gel ( that’s cheap and good ) and then simple vita cream and a cream from sugantha oat cream ( avaible in India ) the other ones are avaible outside India . I used to see each video of DrV so noted down these creams from her videos 🥰
Just a note The acnecide wash she holds in her hand does NOT contain benzoyl peroxide. The one she holds is just a daily cleanser. I made the mistake of buying this. The box pictured is the correct wash packaging. The wash comes in a 50g tube. I double checked this on their website. They do 2 washes, the Daily cleansing wash and the Face wash spot treatment with 5% benzoyl peroxide which is the one in the tube. Hope this helps
I think just using one active at a time is much more gentle to your skin as too much acids can cause further irritation Or burns leads to more pigmentation and u know then u have to start all again.
Dr. v, could you please revisit the hyperpigmentation routine? Specifically, the layering order of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, alpha arbutin, niacinamide, azelaic acid and retinoid, etc?
@@nso5625 I’ve been trying not to bug Dr. V, she gets lots of requests 😀. So I’ve been trying to contact the ordinary for a while now. I finally got someone today! Hopefully this will help you and anyone else who was unclear. *AM:* 1) Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (the ordinary rep said to do Mag Ascorbyl Phos after Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide, but Dr. V and many others who speak for dark skin say C is first so I’m sticking with them) 2) Alpha Arbutin 3) Niacinamide 4) Moisturizer 5) Sunscreen *PM:* (no C with any #3) 1) Alpha Arbutin 2) Niacinamide 3) Alternate Azelaic Acid or Retinol 4) Oil or Moisturizer
@@ginamontana5356 Ohh bless you, thank you so much for sharing! It's very kind of you :) I just wish their magnesium ascorbyl phosphate wasn't sold out EVERYWHERE! I'll have to substitute with a different Vit C derivative and hope for the best!
From my experience where purging is concerned it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. You just have to be patient, remember it’s only temporary and you’ll come out better than you went in. YES! It DOES get worse before it gets better but don’t be afraid just go thru with it.
@@tamilselvi155Treat them with the same mentality but remember that it takes a while longer to see improvements where hyperpigmentation is concerned. The dark marks fade over time as you continue to use the Niacinamide. That was my experience with the 10% concentration from the ordinary. You will need to be a bit more resilient and patient with dark marks as they don’t just go away as quickly as breakouts/purging. It’s a mental game that pays off in the long run.
Hi Dr V! I admire the work you are doing for the skin of colour community! Can you please review kate Somerville cleaners and exfoliating treatment (exfolikate line)? Also can you suggest products to reduce neck wrinkles?! Again, I love that you are educating everyone *sponsor free* that is so important!! You are a trailblazer!! Thank you so so much!!!
HI! I'm 17. is there any way to avoid the pimples from forming marks? i don"t have acne prone skin but i randomly get pimples and they always leave marks that stay for years :/ thank you so much, i'm a huge fan
I’ve recently starting watching your channel and I’m in love! Thank you for all the information you spread, it’s priceless!!! Plus~ I can’t wait for you to release the new kit 💕
Taking notes. Thank you for this video. Please do a top 10 or top 20 of the best sunscreens for oily, normal, and dry skins if you have time. Also, can you research these... 1. Pipette Baby Sunscreen 2. Biossance squalane 3. ilia super serum spf 40 tint 4. Versed Guards Up
Hi Dr V.. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am a South African Indian and I have completely changed my skincare routine based on your recommendations. It has significantly improved my hyperpigmentation and acne.
Hi Joelene. May I ask what products you used to help with the acne and hyperpigmentation please? I'm in South Africa as well and some products are so hard to find here
Love your channel! Just something I noticed - the sunscreen you put on at the end did look like it had a strong white cast. The demarcation on your arm between where you put it and where you didn't was quite obvious.
Hey Dr, V I can't wait for hight pigmentation cream because I have melasma since Ive been watching your videos I can see a change in my skin thank you very much 🙏
Hi Dr V, thank you for all your content, which I've found incredibly useful and adjusted my skincare accordingly as a woman with skin of colour. As I am in my early 50's I was wondering if you could do a video on the best tinted moisturisers please as my moisturiser is my best friend, but it's nice to have a good hydrating moisturiser with a hint of colour? As there are quite a few on the market, finding the right one is proving to be quite difficult. Thank you for all your help and advice, and I just wish I had this knowledge in my 20's and 30's which might have helped in some of the skin damage that's occurred over the years. Thank you.
I just want to say this video is extremely extremely useful for me because I’m dealing with both acne and hyperpigmentation and I’m not sure about skincare combination like vitamin C, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid. This video helps me create a routine that works and doesn’t irritate my skin further. I struggle with acne but my acne isn’t that bad, like once one pimple goes away another one or two pops up. I’m so confused to why my skin keeps popping up pimples when my skincare routine looks like it should help and work. (Routine: cerave foaming cleanser, missha artemisia essences which is a toner, Benton snail ultimate serum, cerave moisturising cream and a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment cream. Is it normal to still get acne with this routine? Is it because I’m 19 and still going puberty? Hope you see this answer, thanks!!
Also, if you have any sensitivities to fatty alcohols like cetyl or cetearyl alcohol, Cerave products include this ingredient and it broke me out so bad with worst cystic acne of my life for months before I realized what it was and cut it out. Skin improved immediately! They are apparently non comedogenic, but Break me out like crazy. I avoid it in products
Omg I’m so excited about your sunscreen, been looking for for one like that for so long! I hate the white cast a mineral sunscreen leaves ! Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻🤩
Please do a video on some of the best NIGHT cream options (specifically safe to wear in the hot summer season) for skin of color without any long term harsh effects on skin. ty
This was very informative, Thank you so much!! Also, can you please do a video on how to store Retinol? As it is said it needs to be stored a certain way.
Hey Dr. V thank you so much for you work!! It’s honestly so helpful🥺 My skincare concerns right now are: oily nose, dry cheeks, keeping acne at bay (I don’t have a lot anymore since I was on accutane) and some red/brown acne marks on my cheeks. The actives I’m currently using Paula’s choice 2%BHA (every three days at night) and The Ordinary’s 10% Niacinamide (morning and night whenever I’m not using BHA) Is there anything else I can add/use?
😔 “every little thing can tip the balance…” that’s exactly how I feel. One day I’ll feel good, and then the next the breakout happens. Not sure what to remove from or add to my routine. The feeling of defeat is real.
Hi Dr V, I think it was Paula's Choice responsible for high niacinamide percentages. Before The Ordinary, they came up with 20% Niacinamide formulation. Justa tidbit. I loved this video, it felt so good to come back to the biology of acne and PIH after so many Brand reviews!! Love your channel and the content!! Thanks ❣️
I really wanted to try your moisturizer, but for the moment it doesn't ship to Norway 🥺. Thank you so much for the channel and everything you do for us.
Hi dr v-thanks for all you do!!! Can you please do a video on slugging the face at night and whether this is good for skin of colour? So many conflicting opinions from influencers-but I trust you!!!🥰

2) Alpha Arbutin
3) Niacinamide
4) Moisturizer
5) Sunscreen
*PM:* (no C with any #3)
1) Alpha Arbutin
2) Niacinamide
3) Alternate Azelaic Acid or Retinol
4) Oil or Moisturizer
@@ginamontana5356 Ohh bless you, thank you so much for sharing! It's very kind of you :) I just wish their magnesium ascorbyl phosphate wasn't sold out EVERYWHERE! I'll have to substitute with a different Vit C derivative and hope for the best!
@@nso5625 you are so welcome and good luck! :)
I love Obagi Sun Shield. It is a zinc oxide based SPF 50+ sunscreen that is invisible once applied.
From my experience where purging is concerned it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. You just have to be patient, remember it’s only temporary and you’ll come out better than you went in. YES! It DOES get worse before it gets better but don’t be afraid just go thru with it.
What do say about the dark spots left behind from purging??
@@tamilselvi155Treat them with the same mentality but remember that it takes a while longer to see improvements where hyperpigmentation is concerned. The dark marks fade over time as you continue to use the Niacinamide. That was my experience with the 10% concentration from the ordinary. You will need to be a bit more resilient and patient with dark marks as they don’t just go away as quickly as breakouts/purging. It’s a mental game that pays off in the long run.
I just enjoy watching your explanation.. Thanks for the deep insight on EVERYTHING ❤
Hi Dr V! I admire the work you are doing for the skin of colour community! Can you please review kate Somerville cleaners and exfoliating treatment (exfolikate line)? Also can you suggest products to reduce neck wrinkles?! Again, I love that you are educating everyone *sponsor free* that is so important!! You are a trailblazer!! Thank you so so much!!!
Sure x
Hi Dr. V❤️ Can you please do a video on layering actives and which ones specifically shouldn't be used together? Thank you!
Yes x
When to use vitamin c and nicinimiade? If I want to get rid of hyperpigmentation?
Finally a Dr who can explain why my skin scars when I get pimples.
HI! I'm 17. is there any way to avoid the pimples from forming marks? i don"t have acne prone skin but i randomly get pimples and they always leave marks that stay for years :/ thank you so much, i'm a huge fan
I’ll do a video on this x
Army?
Your videos have helped me so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Dr V.
I feel like I need to address my acne first before the hyperpigmentation. It has been a journey 🙃
💛
Please make the sunscreen really dewy and hydrating
😁
I’ve recently starting watching your channel and I’m in love! Thank you for all the information you spread, it’s priceless!!!

@@vanitarattan thank you so much!!!
‘Oh yeah, the claw is back’ love you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Dr V.. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am a South African Indian and I have completely changed my skincare routine based on your recommendations. It has significantly improved my hyperpigmentation and acne.
So glad x
Hi Joelene. May I ask what products you used to help with the acne and hyperpigmentation please? I'm in South Africa as well and some products are so hard to find here
Love your channel! Just something I noticed - the sunscreen you put on at the end did look like it had a strong white cast. The demarcation on your arm between where you put it and where you didn't was quite obvious.
Hey Dr, V I can't wait for hight pigmentation cream because I have melasma since Ive been watching your videos I can see a change in my skin thank you very much 🙏
Sorry doc, the link for the launch states "dark circles kit" as opposed to facial pigmentation kit..
Coming soon x
The facial pigmentation link is there too xx
Hi Dr V, thank you for all your content, which I've found incredibly useful and adjusted my skincare accordingly as a woman with skin of colour. As I am in my early 50's I was wondering if you could do a video on the best tinted moisturisers please as my moisturiser is my best friend, but it's nice to have a good hydrating moisturiser with a hint of colour? As there are quite a few on the market, finding the right one is proving to be quite difficult. Thank you for all your help and advice, and I just wish I had this knowledge in my 20's and 30's which might have helped in some of the skin damage that's occurred over the years. Thank you.
What’s your take on the exa glow serum from face theory? It has a lot of actives in it but looks good!
I second this question
I’ll investigate x
Azelaic acid is gold! Saved me from whiteheads after over a decade of trial and error
Which one did u use?
I just want to say this video is extremely extremely useful for me because I’m dealing with both acne and hyperpigmentation and I’m not sure about skincare combination like vitamin C, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid. This video helps me create a routine that works and doesn’t irritate my skin further. I struggle with acne but my acne isn’t that bad, like once one pimple goes away another one or two pops up. I’m so confused to why my skin keeps popping up pimples when my skincare routine looks like it should help and work. (Routine: cerave foaming cleanser, missha artemisia essences which is a toner, Benton snail ultimate serum, cerave moisturising cream and a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment cream. Is it normal to still get acne with this routine? Is it because I’m 19 and still going puberty? Hope you see this answer, thanks!!
Maybe due to hormones x
It’s possibly down to hormones x
Hiii I’m going through the exact same process can you give an update on your skin? 🩷
Also, if you have any sensitivities to fatty alcohols like cetyl or cetearyl alcohol, Cerave products include this ingredient and it broke me out so bad with worst cystic acne of my life for months before I realized what it was and cut it out. Skin improved immediately! They are apparently non comedogenic, but Break me out like crazy. I avoid it in products
Hello Dr V. Your skin is so glowing in each and every video 👌.
Can you please do a video on Clinique moisture surge, ID products and mCaffeine??
Hey can u do a review on E'clat?❤️
Sure x
I couldn't find the ingredients anywhere
Omg I’m so excited about your sunscreen, been looking for for one like that for so long! I hate the white cast a mineral sunscreen leaves ! Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻🤩
Please do a video on some of the best NIGHT cream options (specifically safe to wear in the hot summer season) for skin of color without any long term harsh effects on skin. ty
Hi I just wanted to ask how come in your other video you seemed to advice 4-5 actives a night in your ordinary layering routine for acne?
Part two coming soon x
Please suggest a skincare routine with 'be minimalist' for acne, red marks and brown marks😘😘
Yes even I wud love to know that!
Hey Dr. V, what are your thoughts on these actives: Tranexamic acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Azelaic acid?
I’ll do a video x
@@vanitarattan ma'am please please do a video on this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was very informative, Thank you so much!! Also, can you please do a video on how to store Retinol? As it is said it needs to be stored a certain way.
Dr. V Could you do a review on the bran Some by me please?
Yes x
So happy to hear you are releasing facial pigmentation kit💃💃💃💫🥳
hey i was wondering if its safe to use rose hip oil from the ordinary for brown skin to brighten and fade scars
Facial oils coming soon x
No please, it made my skin worse
It personally really helps my skin. But I use the brand trilogy.
Love your invisible sunscreen too! Can’t wait for it.....
Hey Dr. V thank you so much for you work!! It’s honestly so helpful🥺 My skincare concerns right now are: oily nose, dry cheeks, keeping acne at bay (I don’t have a lot anymore since I was on accutane) and some red/brown acne marks on my cheeks. The actives I’m currently using Paula’s choice 2%BHA (every three days at night) and The Ordinary’s 10% Niacinamide (morning and night whenever I’m not using BHA)
Is there anything else I can add/use?
Looks correct x
Thank you!
😔 “every little thing can tip the balance…” that’s exactly how I feel. One day I’ll feel good, and then the next the breakout happens. Not sure what to remove from or add to my routine. The feeling of defeat is real.
Yes the pigmentation is so much more annoying than the actual acne 🙄 I had a pimple on the cheek almost two months ago and I can still see the spot 😭
❤❤❤ I love how you explain and model the process 😂😂 good humor in good explanation comes with easier absorption of the information.
Can I use miceller water or cleansing balm to take off sunscreen daily as I dont wear makeup at all.......
Cleansing balm x
Vanita thank you so much for this content ❤! It’s so useful!
Could you please do a lesson on dark armpits, and bikini area?
Thank you❤
Is the treatment for acne dark marks the same as that for hyperpigmentation eg Azeliac acid.
I’ll do a video x
Hi Dr V, I think it was Paula's Choice responsible for high niacinamide percentages. Before The Ordinary, they came up with 20% Niacinamide formulation.
Justa tidbit.
I loved this video, it felt so good to come back to the biology of acne and PIH after so many Brand reviews!! Love your channel and the content!! Thanks ❣️
You are so right. I've been walking around with my acne marks from 2020 stress and masks :(
Please do a video on how to treat excessive formation of blackheads and white heads
thank you dr V. for the facial kit i have registered myself.
Thank You so much for all the videos, informative knowledge, and Love you have shown the WORLD! ❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yessss. I needed this video🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you doctor V
💛
I really wanted to try your moisturizer, but for the moment it doesn't ship to Norway 🥺.
Thank you so much for the channel and everything you do for us.
Hi dr v-thanks for all you do!!! Can you please do a video on slugging the face at night and whether this is good for skin of colour? So many conflicting opinions from influencers-but I trust you!!!🥰
Sure x
@@vanitarattan thank you-can’t wait!!
