Hi dr. Stephens💗, loving this hyperpigmentation series! Could u do a video on body acne/hyperpigmentation products
Hi! Thank you and yes I can make that video ☺️
Check out Dr Vanita Rattan, she is the best and has been doing this for years, she is the first to care about people of color skin products. She is into so much into formulation so full of information. This video is more like acopy cat of what Dr Vanita Rattan has already done
@@princessliann3583 My dear Dr Rattan is experienced yes but I would rather take advice from someone that actually has my skin color and is from African decent . She actually compliments Dr Rattan. She is actually more detailed younger with fresh and updated information. Please stop the harsh criticism. We are women that need each other.
@@princessliann3583 @princess liann, yes she is great, very knowledgeable, and has her own skin care line and sunglasses. Have you checked out the prices? Lol. And What's wrong with supporting newer YTers, too? If the info is correct, wouldn't it be pretty much the same? And why would you exert any energy to even comment this anyway? No one is going to bash you for who you want to watch.
@@DrAlexisStephens can u kindly help me with the information wheather I can use the ordinary alpha arbrutin +Ha 2% along with body shop vitamin c moisturizer?
Yes an African American dERMERTOLOGIST online. I love dr Dray but it nice to have someone who has ethnic skin and can relate.
Also check out dr vanita rattan.She deals with skin of color(blacks,Indians etc) exclusively.
Thank you so much!
@@RNM-bu4rj Yes, l 💜 Dr. Rattan I Watch HER As Well. She ls 👍 Great For Skin Of Color As Well. I, Am So Happy To Have Both of These "Amazing Doctors". Thank You Dr. Stephen's YOU Are Also Absolutely Stunning lnside & Out. I 🥰Your Energy. Also When YOU Show Your Beautiful Babies.
Definitely, not enough content and dermatologist who understand darker skins. There is also Dr Vanita Rattan who caters to dark skins and she owns the hyperpigmentation clinic. ☺️

Dr Rattan is not a dermatologist, she’s a doctor and formulator.
I feel like I'm not even listening just looking at how beautiful she is! 😫😍
same!
O yes me too as my face is looking like 🔥 burnt 🍞 bread. I am going to order this today
😂😂😂Lol
Haha me too 🤣 she is gorgeous!
Yes! The irony of watching her to help improve my own skin but getting distracted by her skin lol.
I’m a medical student who has been struggling with hyperpigmentation and acne for a decade now which has inspired me to want to specialize in dermatology. It is so refreshing to see an African American dermatologist who is sharing so much knowledge. You have a new fan! Turning on notifications.
Me too!
Go girl🥺🥺
@@therealest7640 that’s so awesome ❤️❤️❤️
@@ihuomaotika2656 thank youuu ❤️❤️❤️
Press on!! I'm sure you'll have a fulfilling life AND help people.
A Black woman medical professionals that's a "regular Black girl". You KNOW what I'm talking about! Thank youuuuuuuuuu.
As a young black woman chemist, I just found your channel and WOW, I needed this. I'm obsessed.
You make me want to go back to school to be a dermatologist.
For those curious about the product, yes it works! I have been using the Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin and Hyaluronic Acid for two months now and it has really faded my dark spots from acne scarring and the hyperpigmentation on my face. I can see a difference. I still have more time to go until the hyperpigmentation is completely gone, but as she mentioned it works very slowly.
Should you use it only on the dark areas of your face or use it all over?
Does the hyperpigmentation rebounds?
I have been using it for 2 yr and it has worked miracles 4 me!!
Would love a video on layering products like Alpha arbutin, vit C, niacinamide and Azelaic Acid
I have the same question!
Mojitha Mohandas I learned from another RUclipsr-the hyperpigmentation clinic, Dr. Vanita Rattan, following layering of The Ordinary products. 1. Vit C, 2. niacinamide, 3. alpha Arbutin, 4. Azelaic acid, 5. Moisturizer. It’s always thinnest to thickest.
@@Shawny424 Thank you :)
Mojitha Mohandas hi I am new to this but I just watched dr V’s videos. Do not use vit c with nicotinamide . Instead the derivative can be used . That is Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. I recommend u go through her videos or simply contact ordinary on their website and they can help you with a good routine depending on the products you wish to use (or your concerns). God bless
With Dr Ratan I believe the order she suggested was alpha r butin, niacinamide, Magnesium Ascorbyl phosphate (vitamin C) derivative, Rentinoid followed by azelaic acid and moisturise. Remember to wait at least a few minutes between each layer or at least until each layer feels absorbed. Only incorporate in night time routine and if new to retinoids use between 1-2 times a week in the in initial stages. Always patch test behind ears and introduce products slowly.
Been using Alpha Arbutin + Vit. C + HA serum for few months and it works. All my sunburns and acne due to overwork and hectic travel all gone in 3 months and my skin is great👍
How do you use them
Girl! Keep these videos coming. I'm a skincare junkie and you definitely know what your talking about. Nice to see someone with the same color as me.
Beyond happy that RUclips finally decided to recommend a channel I can put to use and watch. I’m tired of seeing “pranks”, surgery & food suggestions! This is what I needed... for many reasons!
The amount of information you put together in one video truly indicates your in-depth knowledge on the subject, makes you more trustworthy. Thankyou for having this channel. This is one of the rare gems in the RUclips that is tailored to a commodity that has been neglected for so long. Thank you for filling this gap :)
I'm so happy I found you!!!! I love an African American female doctor. Gives me life!
Super informative. Not enough of black sisters on the skincare scene and you are an impeccable pioneer. This is really eye opening. Thank you.
Your skin’s complexion is so amazingly beautiful! Wow 🤩
I love your videos so much! two months ago I burned my forehead and I was trying to categorize the burn but as a black girl, I couldn't find ANY sites that showed typical burns (i.e curling iron burn, sunburn) on black or brown skin. all that being said, thank you so much for spreading information and representation for darker skin tones in dermatology and medicine.
So happy I found your channel!! Thank you! The info in your videos is fantastic!
Im happy we have a Doctor of colour helping us with our skin
Love your channel, it helps me a lot to understand the ingredients to treat my melasma... Love from Philippines 😍🇵🇭
Dr where have you been all my life! Thank you for the videos. Thank you for using photos to explain. Visuals help a lot!!
I am so happy i discovered you today💗
She is the definition of glow!
Glad I found your channel! 💜
I love this series. I’m also a darker skinned person with sensitive skin who’s suffering from PIH
Why is no one talking about how gorgeous she is omg she is glowing 😍✨✨
Yaaaa u rite🥰🥰
I noticed😂😂
Thank you for including the percentage of Alpha Arbutin we should look out for in this video. Please always give us the percentages of actives we should look out for in products, I realize that sometimes we require a bit higher percentages as WOC or POC. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Dr. Stephens. I recently purchased this product along with a couple other products from The Ordinary skincare line and I will try it out and see the results! It can be hard to find the right product to combat hyperpigmentation in women of colour. Great tips!
You are my skin goals! 🤩 Just gorgeous through and through, Sis. Very informative and easy to follow!
I love it! Learned so much!
I'm so happy I found your channel!! I love how relaxed you are and how well you explain everything. It makes it very easy to understand and I appreciate the footnotes at the end for a screenshot. It's like I'm just listening to one of my friends talk. Time to binge watch your videos. ❤
It’s important to note that alpha arbutin doesn’t get rid of hyperpigmentation that is always present but helps to diminish the onset of new dark spots/marks. I think that’s why some people say it doesn’t really help remove their spots.
I can't believe I haven't seen your channel before. I just ordered the alpha arbutin from the Ordinary and the niacinamide so this is perfect Haha. I plan to be a dermatologist in the future and I think it's important to learn about the unique treatment plans for people with darker skin tones even though I have a light skin tone, especially in dermatology textbooks. So happy to find your channel!
Thanks so much, Dr. Alexis this is very useful! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much for this series. I love your aura! You’re so easy to listen to. Makes it easy to understand 💕💕
As always, such a good video with a lot of tipps and advice...thank you😚
New subbie to your channel and I love how you explain everything, I’m now obsessed lol.
Very informative! Could you do a video about a simple skincare regimen for dark skin? Preferably just to indicate what we should be doing daily and the order in which to do it?
You are inspiring the medical student me to re think and re consider dermatology as a specialization after I totally was disappointed of how little knowledge they teach us about the skin of color !!! Thank you SO much and take care ❤️❤️
Thank you thats one of the main reasons I created tis channel❤️
Please, we need you!!
You should do it! Dr. Stephens mentioned in another video that Blacks only make up #5 of total derms in the U.S. Latinos make up 4%. These numbers are embarrassingly low.
@@DrAlexisStephens Does the one with ascorbic acid work just as well??
Just found you/this channel! this information is soo helpful. I was doing research to figure out if certain skincare is for me (from the ordinary/inkeylist/etc.) and this answered a lot of my questions! Thanks for breaking down the science of why it works to this plebeian!
omg you're amazing!! As a biochem major who wants to get in Medicine one day, I totally geeked out when u put the melanin biosynthesis!!!
OMG! Her skin is glowwwwinnnngggg
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
New subscriber here from the UK, loved this video - particularly the science. Xxx😍 Great video.
Thanks Dr. Stephens! I just ordered the Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin serum from the Ordinary as I’m dealing with two pimples that are turning into dark spots on my chin. Fingers cross this works for me!!
Thanks for an informative video Dr. Stephens!You keep mentioning sunscreen in your videos. A video specifically on sunscreen would be GOLD!. I have used sunscreen pretty much everyday for the past few years, but I do not re-apply, I use chemical sunscreens, and I find that my face is much darker than the rest of my body, which I do not use sunscreen on.
It could be the paradoxical hyper-pigmentation as I use acids and other actives. I don't think my sunscreens are working!
Hi Dr, thank you so much for this series on hyperpigmentation. I have been diagnosed with scleroderma overlap dermititis 🙉 whatever that means... I have a skin discoloration with hyperpigmentation. My routine is all over the place I think. In the morning I cleanse with Kiehl's clearly corrective exfoliating cleanser, then tone with either fresh rose petals or Caudalie moisturiser toner, then black tea essence from fresh, clearly corrective serum, hydro-plumping serum and SPF moisturiser. Evening : same cleanser, serozinc mist, vitamin C suspension from the ordinary, azaleic acid from the ordinary, then vinoperfect serum, vinoperfect moituriser, then complete with squalane oil from the ordinary... I feel like I am doing too much. Once a week I also use epidermal re-texturing micro dermabrasion from Kiehl's and glycolic peel mask from Caudalie. This is a lot. But only because I didn't see any improvement using the Dermovate prescribed by my dermatologist. Please note that I am based in UK. Can you advise pretty please ? Many thanks. 🌹
Wish you were in Chicago. Thanks for this video!
This was great! I have had this issue since turning around 35. Amazing thank thank you
Absolutely Brilliant!!!
yes!!! needed this vid 😍
Its really good ur explaning about ingredients..
INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED. I love the science along with product recommendations
She is so pretty and her voice is so soothing😍😭😍
Princess Tiana, is that you 🤩 Thank you for all the detailed info
Thank you for breaking it down! 😊
I love how scientific you get. 🤓Could you please make a video on wound healing? Especially after acne picking or a sun/chemical burn.
Also, check out geek and gorgeous serums, they are similar to the ordinary but with more robust formulas. Thanks.
Damn!!!!! Her skin is beautiful!!! Shes beautiful!!!
I really like her videos!
Shes stright to the point!
And she looks sooo nice and kind!
Great video!
thank you so much! this came in perfect timing, i was just looking at AA!💗
I just found your channel and I'm all here for it. I love the education behind the information. So of course you know I subscribed. 🤗
I love the ordinary products and I love this channel! I’m an esthetician but I want to know the most for my clients to be able to help them as best as I can
Love your videos. You’ve been a big help
Love love love your skin very healthy and beautiful looking
Great video! I'm requesting a video on different actives that should and should not be used together. Especially niacinamide and acids. My research (online) has shown that niacinamide and salicylic acid should not be used at the same time because of the different pH needs but now others are saying they can still work together. I would love to hear your thoughts.
You are AMAZING 🤍 Thank you for the easy to understand the topic
Just commenting to say how absolutely stunning you are! 😊
So glad to see a Black dermatologist! Can you do a review of My Topicals' Faded for hyperpigmentation? It has Alpha Arbutin and Koji acid so I want to try it
You are so pleasant and informative. I’m a 30 year old aa woman looking to become an esthetician and your page has been more than inspiring!! 🥰many MANY thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Check out Dr Vanita Rattan page on IG, RUclips and fb. She takes question after her live for an hour. She is more detailed et makes more sense et she is alwaysreviewing different products. You will benefit more checking her out, because she went to school for product formulation so she make more sense with easy to understand to words. Check it out.
Princess Liann thank you. I enjoy dr Alexis as well and often refer her as you are referring this doctor. Lol I love her more “industry” terminology as I’m trying to study but I love when things are broken down into Leimans terms. Can’t say I’d benefit “more” but I’m familiar with dr vanita. I have just never seen her videos. But I love supporting dr Alexis and African American dermatology and her breakdown on our dark skin types. Yay professional WOC in the medical field! 🥰
@@DrAlexisStephens please recommend sunscreens with iron that are suitable for black skin to protect our skin against visible light and fade hiperpigmentation
Princess Liann
Yes Dr Rattan reviews products and gives her opinion about them. But isn’t it strange that she herself as a formulator doesn’t use nor recommend the products she formulates herself? It makes me wonder 🤔. I do not doubt about the information Dr Rattan gives but why does she use other products being a formulator and knowing what is BEST for the skin of color?
Thank you. I just bought a serum with arbutin.
New subscriber! I really appreciate the wealth of information. It allows me to cater my routine for my specific needs. Can you do a video on the best skincare for really dark under eyes? It’s worsened with age and I there is presence of fine lines as well.
Thank you , this was amazing, great information ❤️
Wow! You’re amazing dr!
This series came at the PERFECT time, I have learnt so much!!
Using The Ordinary Alpha arbutin + HA on the morning and the Alpha arbutin + Vitamin C at night. Really good 👍 and of course sunscreen 😉 thank you for reminding the importance of using a sunscreen 👌
Amazing video! I subscribed 😍 This is good content!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks, Dr. Alexis Stephen
Subscribed👍🏾
please do more videos on the ordinary. like which products to use for skin of color people that also have acne prone oily skin. i’m currently using the alpha arbutin + HA for a week now and hasn’t irritated my skin so i’m happy
Sure thing
Thanks I was wondering if to try this!
Can you please show us a skincare routine using Tranexamic, Azelaic, and Alpha Arbutin?
Hi Dr Stephens! Premed student here. I'm interested in dermatology and it is quite inspiring to see one that looks like me! So excited. Also, would you mind doing a video on 'strawberry legs'?
Yes, Alpha Arbutin is probably my favorite product from The Ordinary!
You seem like the nicest person on the planet! Love your videos and how you explain the science behind everything, doc :)
New subscriber here and already enjoying the content 😎
Very informative video!!
Thanks very much for your valuable information!
I'm 31 and ever since I got my period (I don't remember what age) I have suffered from acne and thanks to my love for tanning when I was a teen I have had discoloration and malasma due to sun damage. I never thought my skin would look perfect...
For Christmas i got a gift card to Ulta and I decided to get all skin care products to finally take care of my skin, I got the Ordinary's Niacinamide, alpha arbutin, and their moisturizer with HA. The niacinamide made my skin purge for 3 weeks but now I have no breakouts or little bumps at all and the alpha arbutin has cleared up all of the sun spots and damage and helped clear up any scars I had from my battle with acne.
My advice with the alpha Arbutin is don't rub it in all the way, I apply it to my face and then pat my skin lightly and let my face absorb the product on its own and I have had such great results by doing it that way.
Over all the ordinary is an amazing brand! I've never found products that work so well and for such a small price....
I love this stuff , my skin loves it
I Love your videos. Do you think you can do a video on your nightly skin care routine and how to layer products. Thank you
I'm hooked and following the advice and the series thank you for such informative and engaging content
Sooooooo informative thank you 🙏🏽
Wow Amazing 😍 my first time here! Found you through Dr Vinita Rattan, love the collaboration :)
So helpful thank you!
This was so helpful. I am going to try the Ordinary Vit C and arbutin
I have just found your channel and love it! I just started using The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin a few days ago and after watching your video wondered if there was such a thing as too much hyaluronic acid in a routine. I have been using their Hyaluronic Acid as well as their Natural Moisturizing Factors+HA and didn't realize the Alpha Arbutin had HA in it too until you mentioned it. Thank you so much for all of this info you make available. It's so incredibly helpful in navigating all the confusion of what's out there.
There is! Your face can be overwhelmed so you might want to just use the NMF +HA alone and the alpha Arbutin alone and decide one for night and one for day. I would personally do nmf+ha at night and alpha arbutin under sunscreen by day. Hope this helps 😌
You are so informative thank you so much
Your glowing🤩💖
Thank you for this series. I have sensitive skin. Can these products be used on the neck for hyperpigmentation? Love your content. I'm so glad I found you.
Hi Dr. Stephens would love to see a video on moisturizers!
So glad to have found you... I have hyperpigmentation and eczema and you explain things so well and give us the good and the bad.
Oh my your channel is GOLD👌! Love the Knowledge you provide, and you are absolutely stunning. #BLACKGIRLMAGIC👑
