Hyperpigmentation in Dark Skin Tones: A Dermatologist Shares Skincare Tips & Treatments!
ฝัง

- Freckles, sun spots, dark spots, melasma...these are all skin conditions that fall under the umbrella of hyperpigmentation. It occurs when an excess of melanin (the pigment that produces skin color) forms deposits in the skin that are darker than the rest of the skin. While hyperpigmentation affects all skin tones, it's more common in darker skin tones and can be tricky to treat. That's why I reached out to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alexis Stephens to discuss the best skincare tips and treatments for hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones.

Thanks so much for having me Susan! Loved discussing this with you and your viewers ☺️
Oooh I have so many questions for you! I just noticed you have a TH-cam and I will be subscribing! While I love the skincare community I’ve noticed that not much research has been done on women of deep complexions. We paint skincare with a wide brush but it really can be specific and I appreciate women like you educating others on topics such as these.
You have a wonderful personality and are STUNNING!
This is an amazing collaboration I love both women!! Thank you Susan for bringing her on board
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Dr.Alexis.
I’ve so many questions for you..
Cyspera Cysteamine cream you mentioned contains hydroquinone. I was just wondering if the results are going to be long term or should we keep taking breaks in btwn & continue the cream.? Since hydroquinone is notorious for their side effects..! They usually come back ten times worse when we stop the treatment or do we just have to use it forever with intervals.?
Thank you so much for the wealth of information you gave on PIH, really appreciate it, I'm also checking out your channel. The Cystera cream sounds interesting. I don't think I've heard of it here in the UK but will definitely be checking it out.
Kudos to Susan for inviting someone who specializes in darker skin tones to discuss this. Really appreciate the inclusivity Susan! 👍👏👏
Yes! First mineral sunscreen for darker skin tone, n testing them on POC. Now this! Really appreciate it!
Check out Dr vanita rattan on youtube, all her videos are about skin of colour!
@@aparna776 I'm not sure what you mean by that? What's for videos?
I’m sorry, why should she receive kudos for this though?
Agreed!!!!
Can we just talk about how pretty they both are?
I'd rather talk about how smart and helpful they both are. 😏
@@CrazyPlantLady911 true
@@CrazyPlantLady911 or we could talk about both?
@@CrazyPlantLady911 you can be both smart and pretty. It’s not something that cancel each other out. It’s a sexist and outdated way of thinking
@@imanialexander5866 Totally agree. They can be both. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I guess I was just triggered that day to see comments about appearance when they're more than just pretty faces. Women have been reduced to being judged on appearance for so long, it bugs me when we see someone who is obviously intelligent and trying to get important messages across ... and then someone just comments on how pretty they are. LOL
Yayy a Black dermatologists!
Heyy!!!! This may be a long shot, but I’m kisa and I make skincare videos which are poc friendly!! I was wondering if you could check me out and if I could get your support by subscribing (if you want to!!!)❤️ thank you!!
@@Kikitheremixed Sure!❤️😊
This doctor has the most peaceful voice. I love it.
I was about to comment...so agree! I’m captivated and sinkin in all info
The four dislikes are from colorism, fragrance, UV rays and diy skincare
There’s 5 now. The fifth one is hyperpigmentation.
and those who are still disappointed with Susan's Naturium dishonesty 😂
😄😄
@@victortriump1563 true
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one
It’s so important to find dermatologists who have treated people who look like you!! I am a south Asian women and we genetically and naturally have dark and thick facial hair. It’s not seen as “unusual” among south Asians bc it’s literally a part of most women in that ethnicity. My dermatologist told me I had a hormonal imbalance that was contributing to my facial hair. While I understand that hormonal imbalance plays a role in many women’s facial hair, I beleive that understanding different ethnicities and their skin is so important !!
Krystal omg dude some dermatologists recommend makeup wipes too IM SO CONFUSED AT THIS POINT LIKE why is everyone’s opinion so different!! But I agree there 100% should be more in depth studies on darker skin tones
Krystal there’s a dr channel on TH-cam btw which says all AHAs are bad for the skin
Jahnavi Roy do you mean dr vanita rattan?
Krystal I have same issue so please can I know what skincare routine r u following
Iyanuoluwa Jubreel yess
Wow. Her opinions and concerns about glycolic acid for dark skin are the same as Dr Vanita Rattan of The Hyperpigmentation Clinic- quite literally word for word. It’s good to have this reaffirmation. Thanks, Dr. Stephens!
Glycolic acid is a big no for skin of colour. I wish more people realised this.
Yes! I follow Dr Vanita Rattan too and you are right....they are both on the exact same page!
Heyy!!!! This may be a long shot, but I’m kisa and I make skincare videos which are poc friendly!! I was wondering if you could check me out and if I could get your support by subscribing (if you want to!!!)❤️ thank you!!
Mary Thomas What a stupid thing to say. This is such a load of crap, stop spreading misinformation.
Vanita Rattan is a moron. Everything she says is idiotic.
I am literally crying because I’m of darker skin tone and you found someone darker than me. This is major Susan you have broken glass ceilings that have benefited a lot of people!!!
Hey girl! Check out Dr vanita rattan on youtube, all her videos are about skin of colour!
@@annih7385Love Her,
Dr. V. Is great. 🙌🏿

A big thank you to Dr. Stephens for joining me on this video! She is a wealth of information because she's a board certified dermatologist AND she's a former cosmetic chemist. I highly encourage you to visit her TH-cam channel and to follow her on Instagram! @DrAlexisStephens
Hi Susan, can you do a video on good bath wash. Thanks.
This lady and Dr. Vanita Rattan are god sent.

I think this is the best video I have watched on your channel. I am so glad you finally tackled this subject and actually brought a dark skin sister to talk about it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just discovered Dr. Stephen’s youtube, and it’s great! She goes into even more detail about hyperpigmentation on her channel!
I know this must have been one of Susan's favorite interviews. Dr. Alexis is so full of knowledge, and a great educator!
F I N A L L Y. I’ve been needing dark skin specific videos for a minute. Need this when talking about laser, certain cosmetic surgeries, chemical peels, etc
Dr Stephens has her own TH-cam channel!
It is true I did it the laser am it got my skin worse
Honestly I'm proud of Susan for continuing to give us amazing content and I have respect for her because she overcame a lot. People make mistakes but should NEVER be defined by them. Especially given how amazing & transparent she's always been.
Same 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You ladies are glowing, and Dr. Alexis obviously knows something judging by her amazing skin 🧡
Thank you Susan for posting this specific topic. As a Black women I greatly appreciate learning the science of my skin. Will look into Dr.Alexis as she is in my town 😊
Lucky to have such an awesome resource so close to you! I'm jealous 😭
The world needed this! Love that you cover so many topics on your channel. This information would be so hard to find, thank you for covering it as it was purely beneficial. Vital information as a nursing student and knowledge for the rest of the world ☺️☺️
I think it's super important to refer to industry professionals when giving advice on treating complex issues such as hyperpigmentation, Dr Alexis is perfect for this!
i love you guys for shedding light on the difference in how we need to be treated differently and with alot more gentle care . i appreciate this alot from one esti to fellow skin pros, kudos
YESSSS!! I requested this 😭😭 thank you for listening MM Team ❤️❤️
Susan thank you for taking the time to seek out professionals with skin of color to help us with our issues. People of color finally not being forgotten, its about time!!!

Love love seeing you both on here. Thanks Susan for inviting Dr. Alexis. ♥️♥️ beautiful women.
Wow, this is amazing! Such a great video. As a black woman who has suffered from PIH, this is gold!! Thank you Susan for bringing Dr. Stephens to chat!!!!
I’m not black at all, but I love this and is nice to get informed to help someone else out.
Dr.Stephens has been so informative I have been so uninformed until I began watching and listening to her sessions . I'm truly grateful to FINALLY found a Dr who is so knowledgeable..thank you Dr Stephens
This was a wonderful video! Loved the conversation between you two and it’s clearly evident that Dr. Stephens is incredibly knowledgeable. Great video!
Dear Susan, Thank you so very much for inviting Dr. Stephens. I live in Spain and there may be no dermatologists who know by experience how to handle my skin. I truly appreciate this session. Thank you for your great consideration of those of us with darker skin.
I've been trying to find resources for exactly this question! 😘
Thank you Susan for inviting her!
I've been searching for this video for a very long time.
This video is complete.
Thank you so much Susan and Dr. Alexis for educating us.

New to this channel. I actually stopped by because of Dr. Alexi Stephens because I am a subscriber on her channel. New fan of yours.
Ah the beauty on my screen right now! How am I supposed to focus?
Where is your clinic?
Dr stephans is so thorough!! Smart and beautiful. Very informative video! Thanks!!!
Very informative! Would love to see more of this content ❤
OMG, Dr. Alexis sounds knowledgeable about this. Thank you for the information. Been suffering from terrible acne and hyperpigmentation for the past four months. One thing that stood out is, it's important to find a dermatologist that has treated someone that looks like you. I recently visited one, and she wanted to start me on Accutane. Now I get bad ance when I am stressed, and I have more than enough on my plate at that time, but it usually goes away. This time around, that sh%t scared, I felt like my face was attacking me. I just didn't think Accutane was the solution, knowing that I only get ance when I am stressed.
She is my dermatologist yall😍😍😍
She is helping me with my melasma
Is it working?
Where is she located
This video is everything I needed right now! Thank you so much for covering this ❤️❤️❤️

I try not to pick at my blemishes because I’m super prone to hyperpigmentation, its so bad. Even when I don’t pop or squeeze a pimple and just let it be, I’m still left with hyperpigmentation.. Its so frustrating. 😢😩
Me too! I never pop my pimples and I'm always left with dark spots
@@LateshaRenee And then it takes FOREVER for the dark spots to fade 😭
I was told the it's a combination of picking your pimples and it being exposed to the sun. If you make sure to wear a 30 spf sunscreen it can prevent the popped pimples from hyperpigmentation
Dr. Stephens is so smart, so beautiful wish she was my dermatologist.
I really appreciate this video, Susan!
African American women this was so awesome I learned so much I've never heard before.Thank You😘
She's amazing!! Every time you do an interview with her we learn so many new things :)
May DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam leave long to fulfilled GOD promises in this life, your herbal supplement to my HERPES worked like a magic, thank you for giving me completely healing may your days be long sir,🌱🌱🌱
thank you so much for making this video! I definitely learned so much
You need to do a video with Dr Vanita Rattan :)
!!!!
They would love each other. Especially for their shared distaste for the use of high-strength glycolic acid on dark skin. And we would love them even more. 😂
Love her
@@SamMKKK Dr. Vanita kudos to her
Dr. Stephens thanks so much for sharing this information. I truly wish I could find a dermatology in my area who specializes in dark skin tones. I did go to the SOCS website and currently this in no one listed in the Raleigh- Durham area.
Really helpful. Thank you. The background music was a bit distracting tho, but great video.
That was very informative and good! I usually skip through videos like this only picking out random things b/c I'm impatient 😅 but I had to sit through this whole thing
I really enjoyed watching! Thanks Susan :)
This is so helpful!! Thank you! I'm Filipino and my skin tone is more on the dark side, and I struggle so bad with hyperpigmentation 😔
My mum has worked as a cook for over 25 years and I always worry about her skin (not only the burns but also I think she has rosacea) but she never agrees to go to the dermatologist. When you said melasma can appear with heat exposure made me realize some things...
Thank you so much for this Informative video. Is there any body washes she recommends?
Thank you so much for this video!! So informative and helpful!
Thank you for this video. I love your chanel, your videos help me with many bad habits I had but sometimes I can’t relate or I’m not sure if i need to follow this instructions or I’m not the target because I’m dark skin. So thank you so much for this video it’s great to have more information
Susan! When are you going to release a Naturium sunscreen????!!!! I truly hope you are working on one! Love this video! I learned so much about hyperpigmentation!
Wow I love Dr. Alexis she's one of an amazing Dr , the tips she's giving to as are from her heart ❤
Wow she's my dermatologist here in FL what a surprise lol, she is really nice and a mommy too. (I'm a new mom, and went to her for my acne scars, and stretch marks).
Does she do stretch mark removal?
I can’t find anyone in my area that does it
What products are u using?
Where I’m Florida is she located?
@@jackiebless7031 coral springs
Where is she located in Florida
Great content💯. Very informative! Thanks for the video🖤🖤
my mom has malasma & i definitely want to do whatever i can to prevent it now! thank u for this
"I wouldn't recommend a darker skin tone using glycolic acid over 5%"
Me staring at my Ordinary Glycolic Toning Solution, "........YOU!"
This is great content! Thank you!
i found that toner too irritating and it was first in my mind when she mentioned that
@@WitchlightNW That explains it! I broke out when I first started using it and I thought I just had to reduce my exposure to it, not eliminate it completely!
I’ve been using glycolic acid 10% for years *palm to face* not anymore. And my skin has been loving it. Mandelic Acid from now on.
@@florayeka5609 that's it I'm sold. Imma find a white friend to donate this Toning Solution to.
Add the ordinary peeling solution to that!! 30% AHA is a lot.
This video was amazing, straight to the point, not bs, Dr Alexis is amazing. This is the video I needed it!!

Fantastic video I’ve learnt some new tips 🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing this awesome video I really enjoyed it.
This is extremely helpful. Thank you for this.
WOW this is the first time I've heard a dermatologist say Vit C doesn't go with other actives and I've seen two professionals! That explains a lot.
I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS DOCTOR!!!
