So good to hear all this info from someone who's actually certified for it n not just an expert by browsing the internet. Wonderful work ur doing there 👏 🙌
Jayna Zala it’s a simple google search away. She has mentioned in her videos too- double degree in medicine and physiology and pharmacology. A further 5 years research in pigmentation. I believe when she cracked it is when she opened her clinics in the UK. Now she is wanting to educate the masses. Please give proper explanations/proofs for your doubts.
Diana Laura you’re right. But when a certified doctor tells you something after doing their research I think I’d trust the doctor. They have the schooling required to understand what this research is saying. More often than not, these studies are filled with jargon that regular laymen would not understand. I am educated in psychology and so I would understand psychology based research. But there are certain things that only a specialist in that field can understand. This is why we pay so much for education and spend so much time learning these things.
Wow! Thank you so much for this beautiful review Dr. Rattan! A lot of people hadn't looked at our moisturizers, so I really appreciate it. I hope to hear what you think of our other products too.
Thankyou susan. I have about 30 more brands I need to review then I will come back and do a 2nd review video on all the brands where I have missed popular products😊. I think for everyone else listen to your gut always for any decision from choosing a life partner to what cream to buy. I hope this helps☺. Maybe the least scientific thing you will hear from me. 😅 Much love and service to you as always 🙏🏽🧡🧡🧡
Jackie O what is she then? If you talk about Dr Vanita, she has a clinic and posts about scientific studies, just curious. Edited to add : she also said in other videos she graduated from medical school and learned skincare formulation afterwards.
I love your passion and purpose for this channel! As a brown person, I was really discouraged there weren't any brown skincare channels and then RUclips recommended your video!! For once the algorithm did well! So thank you for all your videos, they're super informative and also easy to understand!
I appreciate that you never mentioned the controversy and that u simply reviewed the product. Thank you so much for your work and for your reviews. This has your stamp of approval and I will buy!!❤👏🏾👏🏾
@@beatrice2236 Some people felt blindsided that Susan didn't initially reveal that she was one of the founders of the brand. That aside, it is definitely worth buying!
@@beatrice2236 In addition to what Chivone said, Susan Yara also promoted the products on her channel as if she wasn't associated with the brand. This is what bothers the people that won't support Naturium.
I saw this line at Target the other day and picked up a few things. Susan has done a great job with the line and I was impressed that target picked up the line. I’m enjoying everything so far.
I love Naturium and don't really care about what other people think of Susan Yara. I'm not a doctor like you but I started using Naturium and my skin has great improvement. I use vit c and the facial wash is soooo wonderful!
I purchased the Niacinamide Gel and the Serum before coming across this video. I’m glad I did because I have really liked it so far AND I’m glad it’s approved for people of color! Yay!!
You should monetize the videos. It s your work, afterwards. I watch vids with ads or not, it doesn t change one s opinion. People should be paid for the content. If I m seeing a vid with no ads, I sometimes think that something happened with some RUclips penalty on that vid or some copyright issues are ongoing etc. I even let the ads run for every RUclipsr I watch, as long as they re not over 3minutes long. Damn, I ve noticed several ads of 30 and 50 minutes that they need to be skipped. Those ones are too much.
you def should monetize your channel! i dont think that would take away from the objectivity of your videos (but pls continue to do unsponsored videos)
@@lainea8628 you can google how to monetize ur channel . But the basis of it is when u have a certain amount of subscribers /and amount of views u are able to meet the criteria to monitize then u apply
I just “discovered” you through Susan’s FB group. 1st of all would like to encourage you to monetize, us ladies of color across the pond could use you expertise. I have dark spots from sun damage and babies. I am at a standstill. I am going to following your suggestions about acids. I was hoping you would have talked about Susan retinol!? Thank you! You are so lovely inside and out!!🥰
I’m actually pissed I haven’t found your channel before/the algorithm not recommending you, when this is the content I’ve been looking for. Thank you so much for the information, and knowledge for us to inform ourselves and thus make better Decisions.
Hey thank yo ufor the efforts. Its refreshing to see someone whose goal is number of videos and not sub count or views. I feel like i can put my trust in you, can you do a part 2 of this brand covering the cleanser, super plus serum, squalene oil and retinoids
I'm a skincare snob. I've tried everything cult beauty product under the sun and the naturium niancinamide/zinc serum is the best thing i've ever purchased for my skin. I've ordered 3 more bottles. If you have acne prone skin or large pores or textured skin i highly recommend. I've just ordered the vitamin c serum plus. cant wait to try.
Wow I’m impressed to hear that! Have you tried the Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide booster? If so, I’m curious to hear how that product compares to the Naturium Niacinamide serum!
I'm currently using the Naturium 5% niacinamide gel cream moisturizer, and I like it. I plan to purchase the 12% niacinamide serum and the ceramide moisturizer next.
Dr. V, Dr. Dray critiqued the Vit C Super Serum because of the mixture of ascorbic acid and retinyl palmitate and gold and risk of irritation. I noticed that you don’t mention gold as an ingredient here. What are your thoughts on gold in skincare and mixtures of retinoids and Vit C in one serum?
It depends which type of vitamin C and retinol that are formulated together. If you can watch Dr.V retinol videos and Also I watch Dr.Alexis Stephen she's a dermatologist who talks about hyperpigmentation. Also not everything works for everyone even if it is highly rated.
She saved me! I purchased two of their products the niacinamide gel cream and the serum....based off of one reputable skincare RUclipsr, totally did not do as much research as usual.....anyway I am so pleased to hear that they are worthwhile 😁😁😁 Thank you for this informative and thoughtful review Dr. V, cant wait for my products to arrive
I've been using Naturium's Vitamin C serum for about two weeks, once a day. I was so hesitant to try it because I tend to have bad luck with skin care. But so far, so good. I feel like my skin is already looking better and not as dull. I haven't had any breakouts at all, which is what normally happens to me when I try new products. I also want to try the niacinimide gel, but I had such a bad reaction to TO's version that I don't know if niacinimide is a problem for me or if it was just their formulation. But I'm glad to hear what you think about it and I'm loving it so far!
Monetising your videos might actually make the RUclips algorithm recommend it to more people so it’s definitely something to consider to get this excellent content out.
As always, many thanks, Dr. V. for your generosity in educating us regarding skincare for skin of color. Ever since I started following your channel, I’ve actually become much more attentive in purchasing cleansers(mostly Cerave & La Roche Posay), and of course The Ordinary skin regimen for Hyperpigmentation and Anti-Aging.
I am 2x years late but I must say you have sent me to skincare university with your videos I have literally been able to build a skincare routine from scratch because of the knowledge I got from these videos. Thanx a lot ❤️❤️❤️💯💯🇿🇦🇿🇦
The Doctor has spoken about this before and she said Vitamin C derivatives are best for skin of color. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is probably a good choice.
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is water soluble so helps the epidermis. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is fat soluble and helps the dermis to restore collagen. I love both x
NIOD brand review Please! Copper peptides the Survival 0, Modulating Glucosides, etc. The Ordinary is too goopy and sticky but NIOD products feel great. Just wanted to get Your take on the line/ingredients. I find the price is still great for skin care. It's no where near Lamer prices for example.
So so so happy!!! I love Susan Yara and just purchased her Vitamin C serum. Dr. Rattan and Susan Yara are my FAVORITE you tubers because of 1. I have skin of color and 2. They are both incredibly helpful and honest. Love Hyram as well, and I think he holds the same credibility, but ya know, girls gotta supports her girls!!! Thanks to you and your caring and helpful advice I am now taking good care of my skin! Yay!!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾
Dr. V I hope you've turned on that monetization switch by now! 🔥 I have sensitive skin and my skin has been absolutely loving Naturium products. Thank you for the background knowledge on these ingredients!
Yay! Please review the rest of the products!!!! I would love to see your suggestions for a routine with these products, like actual steps!!!! Thank you!
Hi Dr. Rattan! You’ve mentioned that an ideal pH level for Vitamin C is about 3.5. The Vitamin C Super Serum has a pH level of 5.5-6.5. Is this still effective? Or is this more ideal for people with very sensitive skin?
The actives in this formulation are encapsulated, meaning they are separated from the rest of the formula. Think of the vitamin c being in a capsule and surrounded by the rest of the ingredients. That being said, the actives are not PH sensitive. Hope that makes sense. Google “ingredient encapsulation in skin care” for better explanations :)
Loving your hair!!! Thanks for the review. Could you please do one on just ceramides and peptides. And perhaps one on food for skin e.g. anti inflammatory diets or what you follow. Thanks so much! ❤️ xx
So glad I found this video! I think your goals for this channel are so admirable, and as a POC who just recently starting paying attention to ingredients in my skincare, I really appreciate your educated opinion. Subscribing!
Vitamin C super serum plus...was exited about this product, but just watched Dr Gray's review and she reckons that there are too many actives in 1 bottle that might irrate skin of color. Niacinamide, retinol, Vitamin C etc. So not sure now.
@@TheUnicornQueenT it actually didn’t work for me. It broke me out! My esthy figured it was probably too many actives in 1 bottle and too sensitive to the type of skin I have.
@@Salesforcesteph ok thanks for letting me know. I'll pass. I saw this product with niacinamide, retinol, and vitamin C and was wondering if it was a miracle in a bottle or a problem in a bottle 😅
hi!! what do you think about the naturium serum? ive been wanting to incorporate a niacinamide serum besides the ordinary slowly, and i have very oily, acne prone, sensitive skin dealing with fungal acne/whiteheads. :)
I really want ceramides moisturizer for my night routine but don't have access to cerave here in India, sadly. And tbh, I feel that most Indian skincare brands are quite behind and they just don't seem good enough and are mostly just obsessed with skin lightening. But I've got access to lots of Korean products and they work out cheaper than western brands. So I found this one moisturizer ceramide ato concentrate moisturizer from illiyoon, it says that it has the capsulated ceramides and is also fragrance free. And It's also a MAJOR cult favorite for those into Korean skincare! I also found that most of their products are fragrance free. Could you please review the brand?
Hi Doctor V, your hair looks amazing like that! Could you please do a review of Paula’s Choice blue kits for oily combination and anti-aging skin. Thank you
Thank you Dr V 🙏❤️ - Quick question though, please can you provide some clarity on this: How often should 2% salicylic acid be worn and can you layer other products after 2% salicylic acid liquid exfoliant (Paula’s Choice)
How does red algae differ from blue algae? Algenist uses blue algae. Please review Algenist, preferably the blue algae collection, the liquid collagen (one of Susan Yara's favourite, and the Moisturizers. What order to use these products? Which one do you prefer, the Ordinary Niacinamide or Naturium? I wanted to hear about the cleanser. The Naturium eye cream vs CeraVe Eye repair.
Same here!! I was hoping Dr. V would review that on as well. I’m worried about the 12% Niacinamide but intrigued about 2% zinc PCA. I’ve used the ordinary Niacinamide before but not sure if I should switch to this one for the higher zinc content.
Sadia Hasan I’ve used both and I enjoy the Naturium more. The formulation just feels better and my skin continues to be amazing. It’s less sticky and feels more hydrating and smooth.
Thank you Dr. V once again. Thumbs up to Naturium by Susan Yara. Lots of Love Susan. BIODEGRADABLE! FRAGRANCE FREE! Looking forward to Dr. V reacting to one of Susan Yara's videos or a collaboration video or weekend conference call with Susan and Dr. V
Susan Yara's channel is very informative and she is one of those influencers who has a lot of knowledge on skin of color too which is why her brand has gained so much popularity in such short time plus her ingredient formulas are very friendly to the skin and cost friendly too
Thank you so much for this! I was skeptical of this brand due to the shady launch of it, but having your stamp of approval gives me much more confidence!
The first video I have watched from you and I liked and subscribed because of your reasons for not monetizing the channel! Love that there are smart and kind people like you in the world contributing towards a greater good! 🔥
I have been looking for a doctor, chemist, or esthetician to talk yo about these products and im glad i found you. I would have liked to know more if the ph levels are appropriate for all the products specially the vitamin c serum since at a ph of 5 or 6
The ingredients are amazing, the details are concerning because it’s so low cost it seems to good to be true. Just had a bad experience with the Vitamin C serum, I was so excited to find such a brand, but my skin was irritated and itchy with bumps and I found out it had something to do with a high pH. I’m no chemist but there’s so many brands and options that even the slightest mishaps are off-putting. Thank you for your amazing work!
Thanks for doing this review. They do sound like great products, it’s such a shame she’d bungled the launch so badly that now most influencers wouldn’t want to talk about it. I’m going to try some when they start shipping to Australia.
im so obsessed of your channel..I have atlest spend 50 hours watching all your videos. I came to a point that I dont buy any skin care product without approval :-)
hello doctor! could you please consider filming a video including dupes for your winter skincare routine? I now live in South Africa, and many of the brands and products you recommend aren't available here :( thank you so much for sharing your knowledge we all appreciate it so much! xxx
First of all, I love your hair. You look beautiful ❤️❤️❤️. Secondly, thank you for this video. I have been waiting for it. I'm a bit conflicted since the formula sounds very good, but there is buzz about how Susan launched and promoted the branch. Should I still support a brand even though their moral and ethical are shaky. I know their products are very good, but I am not sure if I should support them. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again
My gut tells me no there’s something about her with the repetitive lies and omissions (products placements without telling the audience, denying being the original and only founder since launching on Amazon last year not this year , the contradictory explanations, the reaction videos judging far more accomplished and knowledgeable dermatologists, talking negatively about the Ordinary who inspired her own brand, the condescending attitude, etc..) I can’t quite explain, I may be wrong, and I’m sure she’ll continue to do well she’ll just never get my money and it’s ok she hasn’t launched in my country (yet) anyway lol and I only support small indie brands.
@@Candyprincess971 omg 😭 this is too much. I honestly think majority of these brands have done something bad at some point. Drunk elephant disappointed me too
@@vanitarattan yeah i just went to watch it and i had gotten laser on my chin nd yag/cool glide but unfortunately it stimulated more hair growth, which ive heard is common in poc and now i am going to start with electrolysis xx
Just stumbled across your channel. Love that you’re not monetizing you’re channel. Feels like a trusted source. One question... I find that dimethicone clogs pores. Do you find this common in your practice?
Hi i’m doing the dark circles treatments you recommended its been 3weeks I can already see a huge difference. Quick question on the day in between the lightening can I use retinol? Thanks
LUNGELWA MAMBESI GOJE ordinary alpha aurbutin Caffeine ordinary Cerave Lightenex plus you can use the gold if you don’t have sensitive eyes Every other day
Just got their rich plant moisturizer before watching this review so I can’t wait to see the results so I can get more products from them. Great review and valuable review from a certified expert.
Thank you again Dr. V!!! Nice hair style btw! I am eyeing to buy Nuturium as well. Is it alright to combine their Niacinamide Gel Cream and Vitamin C Super Serum Plus? Im kind of confused because you mentioned in your other vid that The Ordinary’s vit c formulation does not mix well with thei Niacinamide!
I have been waiting for this review. Interesting analysis. I purged with the Ordinary's Niacinamide. I might have to get this 5% gel when I get a chance. I wish you had talked about their plain Vitamin C Complex Serum as its the biggest seller. Its highly recommended by many beauty pages but does that really work for skin of colour? Also their Retinols?
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic can niacin make you break out? I actually have the Niacin serum from this brand along with the hyaluronic serum and vitamin c serum. One of these bottles is causing some issues for my skin.

Can you do an updated Naturium review? She's come out with SO many more products
Exactly!!!!
So good to hear all this info from someone who's actually certified for it n not just an expert by browsing the internet. Wonderful work ur doing there 👏 🙌
Thankyou xx
So true.. I feel the popular ‘skincare gurus’ on RUclips are all self taught people.. not really qualified..
Jayna Zala what qualifications do you have to determine certain claims are not scientific but intuitive??
Jayna Zala it’s a simple google search away. She has mentioned in her videos too- double degree in medicine and physiology and pharmacology. A further 5 years research in pigmentation. I believe when she cracked it is when she opened her clinics in the UK. Now she is wanting to educate the masses.

Very happy for taking care of skin of color 🥰we are grateful to you 😍
Hi Dr V, which Vit C do you prefer and why?
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate or ascobic acid or Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
The Doctor has spoken about this before and she said Vitamin C derivatives are best for skin of color. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is probably a good choice.
If u have dry skin, try the ordinary’s ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate solution 20% in vit f
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is water soluble so helps the epidermis. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is fat soluble and helps the dermis to restore collagen. I love both x
Which vitamin c derivative is active in this one?

You are a gem and so deeply appreciated appreciated.

Aww amazing! Please dm me photos on insta! Would be great to get your thoughts @thehyperpigmentationclinic
Can i gt glasses 😎
@@iiraat6497 I’m sorry to say that the glasses fall apart with weeks 😔 and they are expensive ones
I tried vitamin c and it brighten my skin so much and it worked for me!
Hi Dr. Rattan! You’ve mentioned that an ideal pH level for Vitamin C is about 3.5. The Vitamin C Super Serum has a pH level of 5.5-6.5. Is this still effective? Or is this more ideal for people with very sensitive skin?
The actives in this formulation are encapsulated, meaning they are separated from the rest of the formula. Think of the vitamin c being in a capsule and surrounded by the rest of the ingredients. That being said, the actives are not PH sensitive. Hope that makes sense. Google “ingredient encapsulation in skin care” for better explanations :)
Hello! Please talk about the naturium sunscreen? The ingredients and if you think it’s a good for skin of color?
A bit confused about the vitamin C. You do recommend it? I saw it has some 22% ascorbic acid and you said skin of color only can do up to 15% max??
I truly appreciate your reviews. I had no idea skin of color reacts differently to actives/products.
Loving your hair!!! Thanks for the review.
Could you please do one on just ceramides and peptides. And perhaps one on food for skin e.g. anti inflammatory diets or what you follow.
Thanks so much! ❤️ xx
Thankyou so much!☺🧡🧡
Did you see my antiaging video?
What are your thoughts on Naturium's Vitamin C Serum 22%? Is this product good (no good) for skin of color?
So glad I found this video! I think your goals for this channel are so admirable, and as a POC who just recently starting paying attention to ingredients in my skincare, I really appreciate your educated opinion. Subscribing!
Thank you! Just found your channel and you have the knowledge from an actual doctor, not from an influencer!
Vitamin C super serum plus...was exited about this product, but just watched Dr Gray's review and she reckons that there are too many actives in 1 bottle that might irrate skin of color.
Niacinamide, retinol, Vitamin C etc. So not sure now.
that's also my concern. what can Doctor V say about it?
Same but I already purchased it so I’m going to give it a go. Skincare isn’t one size fits all so I know that it may or may not work.
@@Salesforcesteph how did the product work for you?
@@TheUnicornQueenT it actually didn’t work for me. It broke me out! My esthy figured it was probably too many actives in 1 bottle and too sensitive to the type of skin I have.
@@Salesforcesteph ok thanks for letting me know. I'll pass. I saw this product with niacinamide, retinol, and vitamin C and was wondering if it was a miracle in a bottle or a problem in a bottle 😅
Yay!! At last, something i can trust and buy!!👏👏👏👏👏
your knowledge to me is Gospel Dr V!! 100% trust in what you say here, thank you! 😄🤩😘
hi!! what do you think about the naturium serum? ive been wanting to incorporate a niacinamide serum besides the ordinary slowly, and i have very oily, acne prone, sensitive skin dealing with fungal acne/whiteheads. :)
How did I just find you?!!! I appreciate your honesty and unbiased reviews.
I guess u should also do a video on good makeup products!
Yes!
I will....i have my makeup routine video on thursday☺
i really appreciate dr v making her channel a library of information for all of us to access. tysm
I really want ceramides moisturizer for my night routine but don't have access to cerave here in India, sadly. And tbh, I feel that most Indian skincare brands are quite behind and they just don't seem good enough and are mostly just obsessed with skin lightening. But I've got access to lots of Korean products and they work out cheaper than western brands. So I found this one moisturizer ceramide ato concentrate moisturizer from illiyoon, it says that it has the capsulated ceramides and is also fragrance free. And It's also a MAJOR cult favorite for those into Korean skincare! I also found that most of their products are fragrance free. Could you please review the brand?
Riddhima Shrivastava where do you get it from?
@@sirishasastry stylekorean delivers to India, though atm they're not. But they usually do
@@suzie711 thankyou!
That's good to see the products are good and worth the money despite all the drama behind the brand.
Hi Doctor V, your hair looks amazing like that! Could you please do a review of Paula’s Choice blue kits for oily combination and
anti-aging skin. Thank you
I think she has recommended their products and made a video.
Can I use Serum Niacinamide with Naturium Niacinamide cream together or it’s too much ?
Thank you Dr V 🙏❤️ - Quick question though, please can you provide some clarity on this: How often should 2% salicylic acid be worn and can you layer other products after 2% salicylic acid liquid exfoliant (Paula’s Choice)
I would say 1-2 times a week
How does red algae differ from blue algae? Algenist uses blue algae. Please review Algenist, preferably the blue algae collection, the liquid collagen (one of Susan Yara's favourite, and the Moisturizers. What order to use these products? Which one do you prefer, the Ordinary Niacinamide or Naturium? I wanted to hear about the cleanser. The Naturium eye cream vs CeraVe Eye repair.
What about Naturium’s zinc plus niacinamide? Is that okay for dry acne prone skin?
Thank you!! 🤍🤍
I am using this one and so far I love it. I'm acne prone, combo sometimes dry, and it doesn't break me out. Was waiting for Dr V to review it as well😂
Start with5% as niacinamide can cause purging.
Same here!! I was hoping Dr. V would review that on as well. I’m worried about the 12% Niacinamide but intrigued about 2% zinc PCA. I’ve used the ordinary Niacinamide before but not sure if I should switch to this one for the higher zinc content.
Sadia Hasan I’ve used both and I enjoy the Naturium more. The formulation just feels better and my skin continues to be amazing. It’s less sticky and feels more hydrating and smooth.
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic I started purging REALLY bad with that product!
Would love to see a video listing all the brands that are great for Brown/Black skin. Thanks!!
You should watch Dr Dray she tells the truth!
Dr. Dray obv doesn't like Susan Yara.
Thank you Dr. V once again. Thumbs up to Naturium by Susan Yara. Lots of Love Susan. BIODEGRADABLE! FRAGRANCE FREE! Looking forward to Dr. V reacting to one of Susan Yara's videos or a collaboration video or weekend conference call with Susan and Dr. V
Susan Yara's channel is very informative and she is one of those influencers who has a lot of knowledge on skin of color too which is why her brand has gained so much popularity in such short time plus her ingredient formulas are very friendly to the skin and cost friendly too
Thank you so much for this! I was skeptical of this brand due to the shady launch of it, but having your stamp of approval gives me much more confidence!
Aww...i think go with your gut, it is always right. 🧡🧡🧡
The first video I have watched from you and I liked and subscribed because of your reasons for not monetizing the channel! Love that there are smart and kind people like you in the world contributing towards a greater good! 🔥
Hi! Can you please review the Timeless Skincare serums, etc?
Would the Niacinamide go before or after toner? And if I'm using an active should I avoid vitamin c that day?
please do another naturium video! thanks!
What are your thoughts on the vitamin c serum? Just the regular one
I have been looking for a doctor, chemist, or esthetician to talk yo about these products and im glad i found you. I would have liked to know more if the ph levels are appropriate for all the products specially the vitamin c serum since at a ph of 5 or 6
The ingredients are amazing, the details are concerning because it’s so low cost it seems to good to be true. Just had a bad experience with the Vitamin C serum, I was so excited to find such a brand, but my skin was irritated and itchy with bumps and I found out it had something to do with a high pH. I’m no chemist but there’s so many brands and options that even the slightest mishaps are off-putting. Thank you for your amazing work!
Thanks for doing this review. They do sound like great products, it’s such a shame she’d bungled the launch so badly that now most influencers wouldn’t want to talk about it. I’m going to try some when they start shipping to Australia.
What happened???
Hi doctor, just wanted to tell you the hair is absolutely looking beautiful on you
After this recommendation, I can no longer trust this channel to be objective.
What do you mean?
im so obsessed of your channel..I have atlest spend 50 hours watching all your videos. I came to a point that I
dont buy any skin care product without approval :-)
hello doctor! could you please consider filming a video including dupes for your winter skincare routine? I now live in South Africa, and many of the brands and products you recommend aren't available here :( thank you so much for sharing your knowledge we all appreciate it so much! xxx
sa brands coming soon
She's the hero that we all need ladies!!
First of all, I love your hair. You look beautiful ❤️❤️❤️. Secondly, thank you for this video. I have been waiting for it. I'm a bit conflicted since the formula sounds very good, but there is buzz about how Susan launched and promoted the branch. Should I still support a brand even though their moral and ethical are shaky. I know their products are very good, but I am not sure if I should support them. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again
I think go with your gut always. I do this with all my decisions ☺🧡
My gut tells me no there’s something about her with the repetitive lies and omissions (products placements without telling the audience, denying being the original and only founder since launching on Amazon last year not this year , the contradictory explanations, the reaction videos judging far more accomplished and knowledgeable dermatologists, talking negatively about the Ordinary who inspired her own brand, the condescending attitude, etc..) I can’t quite explain, I may be wrong, and I’m sure she’ll continue to do well she’ll just never get my money and it’s ok she hasn’t launched in my country (yet) anyway lol and I only support small indie brands.
@@vanitarattan Thank you so much for taking your time to read our comments. 💕💕💕
@@Candyprincess971 yes, I was super excited and then I heard about the tea, and it made me very disappointed.
@@Candyprincess971 omg 😭 this is too much. I honestly think majority of these brands have done something bad at some point. Drunk elephant disappointed me too
I LOVE your videos. You are so genuine, kind and truly come from a space to be of service.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 🙏✨
thankyou so much!☺🧡🧡
Hiya please could you do a video specific for hyperpigmentation on thw legs and how to affordably treat?
Also could you suggest best hair removal options for poc
Definitely xx
@@1NicolaPratt did you watch my laser video?
@@vanitarattan Thank you im so excited 🤗💞
@@vanitarattan yeah i just went to watch it and i had gotten laser on my chin nd yag/cool glide but unfortunately it stimulated more hair growth, which ive heard is common in poc and now i am going to start with electrolysis xx
Just stumbled across your channel. Love that you’re not monetizing you’re channel. Feels like a trusted source. One question... I find that dimethicone clogs pores. Do you find this common in your practice?
Hi i’m doing the dark circles treatments you recommended its been 3weeks I can already see a huge difference. Quick question on the day in between the lightening can I use retinol? Thanks
What do you use?
LUNGELWA MAMBESI GOJE ordinary alpha aurbutin
Caffeine ordinary
Cerave
Lightenex plus you can use the gold if you don’t have sensitive eyes
Every other day
Which products helped you?
ruclips.net/video/VEJZNP5A6EA/видео.html here’s the video link
Do you use it in the morning or twice per day?
I came here after watching Dr Dray's reviews on Naturium. They have different opinions. Hmm...
Hi Dr V, please could you review THE INKEY LIST Amino Acid Anti Gray Scalp Treatment?is there any evidence to support the claims
I've done a video on The Inkey list. After I have finished reviewing the top 30 skincare brands I'll try go back and do a 2nd round of them
Just got their rich plant moisturizer before watching this review so I can’t wait to see the results so I can get more products from them. Great review and valuable review from a certified expert.
Thank you again Dr. V!!! Nice hair style btw! I am eyeing to buy Nuturium as well. Is it alright to combine their Niacinamide Gel Cream and Vitamin C Super Serum Plus? Im kind of confused because you mentioned in your other vid that The Ordinary’s vit c formulation does not mix well with thei Niacinamide!
That's only for The Ordinary. Its according to their website.
I love your curly hair please wear it more often!!!
I have been waiting for this review. Interesting analysis. I purged with the Ordinary's Niacinamide. I might have to get this 5% gel when I get a chance. I wish you had talked about their plain Vitamin C Complex Serum as its the biggest seller. Its highly recommended by many beauty pages but does that really work for skin of colour? Also their Retinols?
I think I need to make a 2nd video on this x
Also try adding a vit a or bha to exfoliate. Niacinamide may be accelerating cell growth and clogging pores
@@vanitarattan Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to the next video.
Dr. Vanita Rattan The Hyperpigmentation Clinic can niacin make you break out? I actually have the Niacin serum from this brand along with the hyaluronic serum and vitamin c serum. One of these bottles is causing some issues for my skin.
