I am African American woman and I have been using Obagi blue peel since I was 25 years old plus the Obagi nu deem along with tretinoin cream 0.1 mix with the Obagi blender at night my skin is gorgeous and I do not have any problems
Same. I love it! And even though she doesn't like the Hydrate, it has been the ONLY moisturizer I can use when I'm doing the Retin-A without it stinging my skin. They also have 2 cleansers. One without fragrance/color and the one she mentioned. I dunno. I prefer to watch reviews from people who aren't competing or selling their own stuff. Just me though.
@Lee Lee it doesn't look, that's exactly what she is doing. And u know the sad bit, her products don't work (at least not for me). Bought her collagen boost satchets (3 months supply) not only did it not mix/dissolve properly in water or juice, it did NOTHING to my skin. Her Inzincable couldn't even prevent me and my kids from having face sunburn. Kids magic did nothing as well. I laugh because the hype she gives her products over other products/brands that actually work is laughable 😆
Obagi does work really good!! And it works fast! I’m black and it does wonders for my skin. I’ve used it for years. It’s not vegan though so the ingredients are not like DR. V. The clear, blender and retina ( can get from your doctor) works!!!
I've said it before, but I will say it again. It is so nice to have someone giving advice for ethnic skin that is clear, concise and ethical. It was hard watching other videos and trying to apply the advice to my skin type. I appreciate that you recognized a need and you fill a needed void. Wish I was in London for a consult.....hopefully your training program includes doctors in Texas!!
Yes if your using hydroquinone for a period of time one may suffer with the effects of rebound. However, when using the obagi nu derm system and the pigmentation issues have been resolved one should be then place on a maintenance program. Hence the obagi nu derm Fx system comes to play. This contain tyrosinase inhibitors which will help suppress further pigmentation from occurring. Stating that the Nu derm system (and hydroquinone in general) is not good for people of colour is a bold statement to make, when excellent and life changing result can be archived when monitored closely.
but is Fx actually effective enough to keep the results as good as with Rx? i used obagi nu derm with excellent results but had to stop it because of HQ in it, now want to use it again for long term for anti aging as well, but now sure about the long term effects of it
Obagi vitamin C serum 15% is working perfectly to my face . I’m a color women , it clear my black dots n my lines I know it’s price it work good I love it n it close my pores omg 🔥🔥
I am so tired of trying different products I recently returned all my drunk elephant stuff that I recently bought it burnt my skin it became darker instead of lighter the pigmentation got worse. I would like to thank you very much for your reviews on the , The Ordinary products I did purchase some of it can’t wait to see the results. Wish you were in the USA Florida to be specific. I really appreciate you’re doing that.Thank you Dr Vinita
Thank you so much for sharing this. So true. I used obagi for years and yes the results are great but after 3 months you have to go back on it because the pigmentation worsens. I wish i knew this before.
Thank you for this Obagi review. Would really like you to discuss and review ZO Skin and Dr Obagi’s skincare methodology. Confuses me when he has some theories to skincare that differ to the mainstream. Thx!
I am about to binge watch your videos just found you and I’m about to start a skin care regime to help with my breakout and hyperpigmentation wish me luck!!!
Yes. Another great informative video covering the most important “far too harsh for our skin”. I keep sharing your instagram videos and now these. My sister is also now a follower! Thanks Dr V. Perhaps a video on hydrators, moisturisers and humectant.
Wow, am I glad I found this channel. I live in Trinidad and Tobago, and I went to a dermatologist here who worked with Dr. Obagi and sells a lot of his products. She suggested I try the Blue Peel to treat my hyperpigmentation, and the only reason I didn't do it is because it was waaaaaaay too expensive. I could have bought a car with that money 😂 But now that I know its too harsh for my skin, I'll be looking at other alternatives
obagi medical and zo skin health products are different..I've used the zo skin health products and my acne cleared completely but my skin was so thin and burned easily so I eventually stopped...I'm from tt also
Hi. Thank you for your great content. As a woman of color would you make a video about proper skin care for the body. I.e. soap versus body wash. Loofa versus wrags. Lotions to keep the skin supple (Am Lactin??).. And how to ward off or treat hyperpigmentation in common probelm areas such and the under arms, back and shoulders, neck and knees.
So glad I found this channel. I have been using Glytone products fir years, but looking to get a better regimen. I was considering Obagi...good to hear your professional insight.
Thank you for making this video. Most clinics sell the Obagi range. I have personally thought it was over priced and delivered no value. Your video has just confirmed it! You like the Colour Science brush on SPF but this is expensive. Are there any alternatives you could recommend? A video on these alternatives would be great. Please keep up the great videos!
Thank you so much for the video, I almost bought a lot of this range. Could you please do a video on the ZO skincare like and IS Clinical Skincare as they’re expensive and I really want to know what’s genuinely worth it from the range. Thank you 😊 x
I start reading a lot about information of products lately, due to the big issue of marketing from the brands, and wasting money not knowing the formulations, even I am not chemistry knowledgeble person, I do understand really well, I appreciate all your time and explanation, I am really far away from your country, deciding on virtual consultation, (mind change the way to do things), we are in a world were the money is the priority and lots of brands are selling over price products without good ingredients. I got tired of this due to the reason, listening from a doctor side and reading have been key for me, still struggling on this however getting better. Thanks!!!
Thank God finally find some Asian authentic skin doctor channel who can recommend for olive skin . Please upload more regarding acne skin large pores ... face care routine . Thanks 😊
I wish I knew about your channel a year ago. I was recommended to use Obagi Nu-Derm system for acne and pigmentations. I watched a lot of RUclips videos and reviews! Of course they were not women’s of color. According to them it was the best. After using it for a few days what I had experienced was a nightmare. So I called the website and they told me to keep on using it. According to them, your skin is supposed to react that way at first and then work the way it’s supposed to!!! I’m 25 and I look like 30. I still have pimples and pigmentations but with more burned skin!
Hey theres drunk elephant product called framboos which contains glycolic and lactic and salicylic acid aswell. It doesnt burn the skin at all ,its very calming and soothing. Can i use it just like once in a while like 3-4 times a month
Obagi is mostly sold in dermatology and cosmetic offices and is so expensive. Recently TJMaxx has had a few items so I purchased them. I was looking forward to trying them until this video
You seem to know exactly what you're talking about and you seem so down to earth and humble! Wish I had come across you before I had used the obagi and let it destroy my skin!
@@monaattiah3976 it causes rebound hyperpigmentation in the long term. Whilst ur using it, skin looks amazing. But once you stop it causes rebound hyperpigmentation and comes back worse. Long term its no good for coloured skin.
Dr Rattan also regarding the Dandruff I have been using Alpecine Dandfruff shampoo but it always comes back . How do I get rid of it PERMENANTLY . Please put in next vid.
Thanks for making videos for skin of colour I am suffering from pigmentation it started 2 years when I stayed getting massage and facials with steam from a local saloon I am always careful about sun protection so it’s a concern no one in my family as pigmentation
Thank you!! I’ve been using the Obagi Zo gentle cleanser for years. What is your opinion on the Obagi exfoliating polish and the complexion renewal pads? Thanks!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Didn’t even realise we weren’t supposed to have the Blue Peel. Was almost going to get it. Maybe the Radiance Peel would be best 🤔
Oh wow, what an informative and helpful video review for us women of colour, drilling down into the ingredients in the various products we have been purchasing! Thank you, Dr V. May I also say that you look stunning...
Thank you for educating us on not just the products but explaining the science behind it. Your videos are so insightful 🙏🏼. Please upload something on textured skin and how to address it. TIA xx
Hi Dr. Rattan, I'd love for you to do a review on Murad - since this is quite expensive 'scientifically proven' brand, I would like to know your thoughts on this brand. Another brand, which I don't know a lot about but their products seem relatively inexpensive, Face Theory. Thanks for all your informative video's, I've so far had to chuck a few products out!!
You are a lifesaver, what you do everyday is incredible! Could you please do a video on Mandelic acid? Is it good for people of colour? Or should I avoid it? How do I use it?
Great content Dr.Rattan....could you also do a video dedicated to boosters and overall products for the Paula’s Choice brand!!!! Would be interesting to hear your expert opinion on their formulations!!! Thanks!!!!
Dear Dr Rattan Visited your London clinic last year and underwent 3 sessions of HP treatment which reduced it by around 90% after suffering damage from laser hair removal. I've however got rough textured skin which I don't know how to resolve, have blotches of whitish marks that look like hypopigmentation but could be burn scars from the laser device? Currently using tretinoin 0.05% since December, I've noticed improvement but not sure if that is the best treatment for this textural/blotchy skin issue? Would greatly appreciate your input... :)
Look into Buttah skincare Vitamin C serum.....its excellent for people of color. I have seen great results in lightening my hyperpigmentation in short period of time, started seeing results in about 2 weeks! Hope this helps. Happy holidays to you!
I have tried the ordinary niacinamide but I think I had a reaction to the zinc. I also used their Glycolic acid every night as a toner and now my face has light spots on my cheeks and has become so discolored. I would love to send some photos for your advice as to what I can do to correct this. Thank you in advance
Hi Dr Rattan, I'm a new subscriber, and I'm glad to find you, I'm a dark skin woman and I have used a lot of hydroquinone that turned my face dark, can you please tell me what to start with,? I wish and hope to hear from you. Face wash and cream to use. Thanks.
I got a free bottle of the obagi vit c with a big purchase on a skin website. it’s highly unstable when I opened the bottle it popped like a soda lol. I used it it didn’t feel like it hurt me but I used it all up since it’s an expensive product lol
I have a quetsion. My mom is a Woman in color and my dad has very fair caucasian skin. I’m very fair but my dermatologist told me that I have mixed skin. Some areas are very white and some spots/areas are dark. Especially on my chest. He told me that it’s extremely important for me to avoid the sun and that I have a rare skin type because it’s mixed. I have got several spots/pigmentation on my face, and my skincare specialist told me to use obagi or filorga, but because of my fair skintone I think they assume that I’m al Caucasian. Should I use products for colored skin or should I use more for fairer skin tones? What do you recommend?
Hi Dr Rattan Can you address body skin and not just the skin on our face. Since young I have had very dry scaly skin on my legs and dry skin overall on my body. My face on the other hand is oily.. Never been able to wear clothes that reveals legs or hands without being extremely self conscious. What can done to completely ‘cure’ this.
5 years ago I went to destination skin they said they could treat my hyperpigmentation on my body. I had glycolic acid peels along with the vitamin c serum and obagi day and night cream and obagi hydroquinone. I spent so much money and I thought it made my skin darker and worse. After watching ur videos... Now I know why.
Destination skin are the WORST for skin of colour. Luckily they’ve been shut down and rebranded under sk:n. I don’t know if the new brand is any better though.
I started watching your videos for a review of ZO products and I love how honest you are about breaking down the ingredients and how knowledgeable you are, but I'm caucasian. What do you think is the best medical-grade skincare line for anti-aging for caucasian skin?
Glad to find your website...I used skinceuticals c and E ferulic acid and it make my skin yellow...I don't know which Vit. C fits on my skin I'm from Philippines and struggling with melasma and hyperpigmentation with large pores...thank you
Only wear this at night. If it is too strong then every other night. Ensure you double cleanse to remove actives in the morning. Apply moisturiser the spf50 every 2 hrs
Hi! What are your thoughts on the ZO Skin Health range by Dr. Zein Obagi? I’ve seen so many fantastic before and afters but was wondering if the ingredients and the products themselves are actually worth the steep price for skin of colour.
Love this on Obaji products! Dr Obaji is no longer associated with Obaji range, he has his own NEW brand called ZO skincare! I absolutely love your video's! So informative and I cannot believe we as consumers get sucked into products which are sold as gold standard! Thank you so much. I wish you all the very best with this... Great to have someone we can rely on 💖💋
I will be starting a biologique recherche, skin care routine soon (weaning off of retinol), would love to see your review as you stance on ANA'S are that they could be very harsh on skin of color. Also, best toners for daily use? As the biologique recherche is a exfoliating toner.
I’ve used all of the Obagi products you mentioned here for 3 years, except for the last 2, the Radiance Peel and Blue Peel. The whole routine did remove a brown spot on my left cheek but no success for the one on my right. Overall, I would say, my skin improved, cleared and smoothen, brightened but it was very drying on some parts of my face. I’ve taken a break from it for almost a year and now using The Ordinary products. So far, I’m happy with what I’m seeing in the mirror. Thank you for this review!
I definitely experienced the rebound pigmentation with obagi, the results were beaaaautiful but after a while off it pigmentation came back with a vengeance lol not to mention it’s a very expensive product...🤨🤨
Im light skinned but i still love you and your channel. Ive still learned A LOT...and find you extremely easy to learn from. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 🤩
She has a video reviewing all the ordinary products and what they are good for. She mentions the ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin. Look through her videos, easy to find it!
Also my face is a lot lighter than the rest of my body - especially my back arms and legs. Uneven skin tone. Are there effective products for the body to ‘lighten’ and even out my skin on my body.
I love your honesty and transparency. Would you please give a review on Neocutis Lumiere. My dermatologist recommended it for my dark circles. I’d love to know your thoughts on the brand. Thank you 🙏🏽
Doctor you are the best and God bless you for making these lovely videos. Please please make a video for dark circles(just like puffy eyes videos). Thanks
Would you be able to review the brand Good Molecules and their skincare range? I recently saw a post that they could be better than the ordinary! However, I would love to hear your thoughts and knowledge, before I make any purchases. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work! ❤
Hi Dr. V 🌺 What are your thoughts of Daily hydro-drops hydrating facial serum, I got a sample of it and I really love it and I’m thinking to buy it but it’s sooo pricey $100 dlls And also skin brightening cream #3 Please
I used the obagi nu derm system the prescription one. Big mistake. At the time I used it. It got rid of my hyperpigmentation etc. However it sensitized my skin so much to the point where now anything I use irritates my skin. Even for example vitamin c or facemask! Even If i go into the sun my skin just gets hyperpigmentation now. My skin is now worse than it has ever been.... and I've no idea how to get it back to normal. Can you advise at all? I literally cannot do or use anything at all on my skin now without irritating it and making my hyperpigmentation worse. Cant even use things like vitamin a or anything. Obagi is not for skin of colour!!! But seeing as you're a doctor for skin I'm hoping you can advice on how I can try to get my skin back to normal and how it was prior to using the obagi nu derm system
You said not to use hydroquinone for brown skin what about coffee, what about tea, what about broccoli, what about wheat cereals. I believe all these are consumed by skin of color especially Indians and all these contain hydroquinone, would love to hear your thoughts
Hi Dr. Rattan! Do you have any alternatives for the obaji facial cleanser? I really like this cleanser and have been using it for a very long time but it is a bit expensive. And I also would like to find a product that is similar but doesn’t have the pigment and perfume.
Thank you for this video! I never dared to buy Obagi because of the ingredients (and the price tag!!). Thanks for explaining. About the sunscreen: is it not ok to use a combination filter (zinc oxide and octinoxate) for melasma skin?
Hello ma'am your videos are so informative, although I have no knowledge of these chemicals at all, please make a video for normal brown skin for overall healthy skin
Thank you for all your advises. Can you please make a video about dry skin care routine for morning and night.. in summer/winter care. Please. Is Ordinary Hyaluronic 2 + B5 good for them?

Hi. What products did you use and what skin issues did you have
have you used for long term? HQ not causing skin irritation for long term use?

She’s bashing obaji to promote her own products, when her products dont work

Bold but true statement.
Thank you Dr. Rattan. As a woman of color, I have struggled with hyperpigmentation for years. Your channel is a god sent !!
Aww thankyou🙏❤

Obagi is number one skincare from years ago. It works amazing on everyone

Thank you for this video. Can you please review Peter Thomas Roth's products (i.e. face washes and retinol)?
I got a free bottle of the obagi vit c with a big purchase on a skin website. it’s highly unstable when I opened the bottle it popped like a soda lol. I used it it didn’t feel like it hurt me but I used it all up since it’s an expensive product lol
I have a quetsion. My mom is a Woman in color and my dad has very fair caucasian skin. I’m very fair but my dermatologist told me that I have mixed skin. Some areas are very white and some spots/areas are dark. Especially on my chest. He told me that it’s extremely important for me to avoid the sun and that I have a rare skin type because it’s mixed. I have got several spots/pigmentation on my face, and my skincare specialist told me to use obagi or filorga, but because of my fair skintone I think they assume that I’m al Caucasian. Should I use products for colored skin or should I use more for fairer skin tones? What do you recommend?
Can you please review Paula’s Choice products good for skin of color (Indian skin). And recommend good moisturizers.
Obagi skincare has worked well for me...🤷🏽♀️
Me too.
Me too
Which products do you use from them?
@@MissAngie25 The Nu Derm kit and the vitamin c serum, 10%
Me too
Hi Dr Rattan
Can you address body skin and not just the skin on our face.
Since young I have had very dry scaly skin on my legs and dry skin overall on my body. My face on the other hand is oily..
Never been able to wear clothes that reveals legs or hands without being extremely self conscious. What can done to completely ‘cure’ this.
5 years ago I went to destination skin they said they could treat my hyperpigmentation on my body. I had glycolic acid peels along with the vitamin c serum and obagi day and night cream and obagi hydroquinone. I spent so much money and I thought it made my skin darker and worse. After watching ur videos... Now I know why.
I'm sorry to hear this 😔
Oh no! I’ve also been there and had 5 treatments of the Blue Peel on my face last year.
Destination skin are the WORST for skin of colour. Luckily they’ve been shut down and rebranded under sk:n. I don’t know if the new brand is any better though.
What do you think of the Aztec healing clay?
Can hydroquinone also cause the rebound effect on Caucasian skin? Trying to educate myself about all these ingredients!
I started watching your videos for a review of ZO products and I love how honest you are about breaking down the ingredients and how knowledgeable you are, but I'm caucasian. What do you think is the best medical-grade skincare line for anti-aging for caucasian skin?
Glad to find your website...I used skinceuticals c and E ferulic acid and it make my skin yellow...I don't know which Vit. C fits on my skin I'm from Philippines and struggling with melasma and hyperpigmentation with large pores...thank you
Only wear this at night. If it is too strong then every other night. Ensure you double cleanse to remove actives in the morning. Apply moisturiser the spf50 every 2 hrs
Hi! What are your thoughts on the ZO Skin Health range by Dr. Zein Obagi? I’ve seen so many fantastic before and afters but was wondering if the ingredients and the products themselves are actually worth the steep price for skin of colour.
What products do you recommend for sensitive mature skin that easily sunburns and also prone to hyperpigmentation? Does your line ship to the US?
Hi Dr Rattan is Heliocare 360 SPF 50 good for hyperpigmentation???
Excellent I use it
Love this on Obaji products! Dr Obaji is no longer associated with Obaji range, he has his own NEW brand called ZO skincare! I absolutely love your video's! So informative and I cannot believe we as consumers get sucked into products which are sold as gold standard! Thank you so much. I wish you all the very best with this... Great to have someone we can rely on 💖💋
Thankyou🙏
I think I need to do a ZO review video too.
@@vanitarattan yes please do ZO video 😊
They have a 10% vitamin C with Arbutin and it's fragrance free...
I will be starting a biologique recherche, skin care routine soon (weaning off of retinol), would love to see your review as you stance on ANA'S are that they could be very harsh on skin of color.
Also, best toners for daily use? As the biologique recherche is a exfoliating toner.
Any updates
I’ve used all of the Obagi products you mentioned here for 3 years, except for the last 2, the Radiance Peel and Blue Peel. The whole routine did remove a brown spot on my left cheek but no success for the one on my right. Overall, I would say, my skin improved, cleared and smoothen, brightened but it was very drying on some parts of my face. I’ve taken a break from it for almost a year and now using The Ordinary products. So far, I’m happy with what I’m seeing in the mirror. Thank you for this review!
I definitely experienced the rebound pigmentation with obagi, the results were beaaaautiful but after a while off it pigmentation came back with a vengeance lol not to mention it’s a very expensive product...🤨🤨
Did you use SPF & any tyrosinase inhibitors after you stopped using it?
Thank you so much for all the information you are sharing, can you speak on Psoriasis in people of color, as well as oily skin.
Can you pls do review on Revision Skin Care brand ? Specially D.E.J Night Face Cream and C+ Correcting Complex 30%
Im light skinned but i still love you and your channel. Ive still learned A LOT...and find you extremely easy to learn from. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 🤩
I’ve bought the ordinary ascorbic acid 8% + alpha Arbutin 2% for me. Is it a good formulation for dark spots and pigmentations?
She has a video reviewing all the ordinary products and what they are good for. She mentions the ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin. Look through her videos, easy to find it!
F Aggrey thanks. I’ve watched all her videos but didn’t know she talked about this product, shall watch again lol!
Thankyou so much for this video. This is extremely useful, informative content. A Dr who Is honest and ethical and providing a much needed service.
Thankyou🙏
What’s a safer alternative you can recommend for hydroquinone?
Have you watched my dark Marks video?
Please do videos on Perricone MD, Avene, and Clinique products. Thanks!
What are your thoughts on the Obagi Clenziderm foaming cleansed? Is it worth it or not? It says it’s good for acne.
Hi nice video what product do you recommend for someone with really fair skin?
Also my face is a lot lighter than the rest of my body - especially my back arms and legs. Uneven skin tone. Are there effective products for the body to ‘lighten’ and even out my skin on my body.
Let me know how to purchase the obagi kit
I love your honesty and transparency. Would you please give a review on Neocutis Lumiere. My dermatologist recommended it for my dark circles. I’d love to know your thoughts on the brand. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thankyou 🙏. I'll put it on my to do list😁
Doctor you are the best and God bless you for making these lovely videos.
Please please make a video for dark circles(just like puffy eyes videos). Thanks
Will do 🙏
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic Yay!!! You are the best!! Looking forward 😍😍
What if you decided to get the Obagi system fx system ? Do you think that it will be worth it
Can you please review his ZO line? The Obagi line is his old line which he sold. He then developed the ZO line
Would you be able to review the brand Good Molecules and their skincare range? I recently saw a post that they could be better than the ordinary! However, I would love to hear your thoughts and knowledge, before I make any purchases.
Thank you so much and please keep up the good work! ❤
Yess I just asked this, too!
Hi Dr. V 🌺
What are your thoughts of Daily hydro-drops hydrating facial serum, I got a sample of it and I really love it and I’m thinking to buy it but it’s sooo pricey $100 dlls
And also skin brightening cream #3
Please
I used the obagi nu derm system the prescription one. Big mistake. At the time I used it. It got rid of my hyperpigmentation etc. However it sensitized my skin so much to the point where now anything I use irritates my skin. Even for example vitamin c or facemask! Even If i go into the sun my skin just gets hyperpigmentation now. My skin is now worse than it has ever been.... and I've no idea how to get it back to normal. Can you advise at all? I literally cannot do or use anything at all on my skin now without irritating it and making my hyperpigmentation worse. Cant even use things like vitamin a or anything. Obagi is not for skin of colour!!! But seeing as you're a doctor for skin I'm hoping you can advice on how I can try to get my skin back to normal and how it was prior to using the obagi nu derm system
Obagi non prescription is better as it doesn’t contain hydroquinone
Could you share thoughts on triluma that was prescribed to me for hyperpigmentation?
Yess!
Could you please do a a review on Alumier MD products if it’s suitable for brown skin or not. Thank you xx
You said not to use hydroquinone for brown skin what about coffee, what about tea, what about broccoli, what about wheat cereals. I believe all these are consumed by skin of color especially Indians and all these contain hydroquinone, would love to hear your thoughts
Hi, is there anyway I can send you pictures of my skin and get advise on how to take care of it
Hi Dr. Rattan! Do you have any alternatives for the obaji facial cleanser? I really like this cleanser and have been using it for a very long time but it is a bit expensive. And I also would like to find a product that is similar but doesn’t have the pigment and perfume.
Hi,
Doctor v
Shall i use paula’s choice niacinamide as the ordinary is breaking out my skin?
And also thanks 🙏 for this helpful video.
Yes it is a good formulation👍
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic how do you feel about the new 20% Dr. R?
Thank you for this video! I never dared to buy Obagi because of the ingredients (and the price tag!!). Thanks for explaining. About the sunscreen: is it not ok to use a combination filter (zinc oxide and octinoxate) for melasma skin?
I prefer physical for melasma prone skin. You can watch my video on physical suncreens with no white cast.
Thank you dr V! Really appreciate your channel. Will watch the video!
Hello ma'am your videos are so informative, although I have no knowledge of these chemicals at all, please make a video for normal brown skin for overall healthy skin
Thanks for this vlog 🙏 May I know if Clenziderm Pore Therapy is good for skin of color? Thank you ☺️
Please can you advise on Obagi exforderm for skin of colour is this suitable??
I've used the Tretinoin cream by this brand. 0.1 % it actually darkened my skin you have any tips on what I can do to brighten my skin?
Have you been diligent with sunscreen? Just curious...cause I use it too.
the same ting happn it get darker my melasma i dont know wat to do?
Hi please let me know if all the products you talk about and if it is sold South Africa thx
Great video. Agree with your review on foaming cleanser. My skin has become really irritated and dehydrated. Do you have any thoughts on dermarolling
Thank you for all your advises. Can you please make a video about dry skin care routine for morning and night.. in summer/winter care. Please. Is Ordinary Hyaluronic 2 + B5 good for them?
