Thank you so much! Kindly recommend a good moisturiser after using Paula’s choice BHA. Also is it okay if my face wash contains glycolic and or Vitamin c before exfoliation? Or should I be concerned about the face wash as well?
I've unsubscribed from quite a few caucasian "influencers". Finally a channel dedicated to my skin tone from a qualified medical professional🥰 Your videos are incredible and you generously share your knowledge and expertise! BRAVO, Dr V!
She mentions that she does healthy intermittent fasting. Where you're allowed to drink water. The anti aging benefits are immense. As long as we don't pig out on junk food/processed food during our fasts. Which usually happens during Ramadan. Here's how I see it, we won't eat it if it isn't in the house Insha'Allah. 💗
As a women of African descent, I can't say thank you enough. Most of the products created in the past were never studied on people of color. They have often caused more damage! I love your discussions because they are evidence based. Please let us know how we can support you( besides just subscribing to your channel). Your videos are a crash college course for skin of color..🙂
Yes! And most of the studies and data other people reference are based on light skin! So even if they say "low chance of irritation" it might not really apply to skin of color.
I've been following her suggestions for about 4 months for the nighttime routine, and I just started noticing major changes my skin. my discoloration and small brown patches have almost disappeared...GREAT information Dr. V
Who are those thumbing down these videos? All of Dr V’s videos are labor of love, and out there to educate us all with correct facts regardless whether you are POC or not. V is for loVe
I love the fact that she dedicated this channel to skin if colour because many people watching this don't live in the uk or usa so we don't have access to all those products. But here she reviews brands like the minimalist and gives proper medical info which i have to commend her for because being a doctor is quite a busy job and she still made time for a yt channel. Appreciation ✌️
I don't think she has ever practiced as a doctor but she has her degree but I think she took a different route to practicing and decided to do research in her parents lab about skin of color.
I realize that this is a dermatology channel, but I absolutely love this hair!!! I never understood why people think waves and curls aren’t professional. It’s all in the delivery, imho.
I’m new to creating a super intentional skin care routine. I appreciate you and Dr. Alexis Stephens for your skin care videos that are geared toward people of color. It is definitely needed and appreciated! 💓
I would love to see a video on the Ordinary's 2% BHA, Revolution's 2% BHA Liquid, and the Inkey List's BHA. Paula's Choice is my BHA of choice but.it isn't easily accessible (or the most affordable) whereas the others are available in Boots! x
I just found your channel today and I am a bit obsessed!! Ha ha!! So excited to hear what you have to say. I am a 53 year old Black woman and am VERY appreciative to have found your channel. I wish you continued success. Thank you!
Dr Alexis Stephens is also an amazing resource for skin of color! Exfoliation, Retinoids etc. I'd LOVE to see a collab! Youre both so gently spoken and kind.. I could listen to you all day 🥰
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU DR. VANITA RATTAN! Glygolic aciid works really great on some types but I ALWAYS found on my MIXED skin, it did not react nicely the way many derms insisted it would if I just "KEPT AT IT FOR A LITTLE LONGER TO SEE RESULTS!" Great topic!
I have learned SO much about how to treat my hyperpigmentation, malasma and my redness from you. I really want to thank you. And I’m a light skin white lady. But I was struggling and took a chance even though I’m not skin of color. I do have a strong olive undertone to my skin. And I just Love learning from you. I’m 47.5 years old dry sensitive skin and my skin hasn’t looked this good in years. SUNSCREEN holy grail. I use it 3 times a day. 💖. Thank you!! Your advice has been priceless to my skin!
I'm so fortunate to have found your channel. Theres so much information out there. Especially with the world full of influencers that do sponsored videos. Your guides are so appreciated. Thank you so much. Stay Blessed.
Thanks for your videos, I have been following you for some time now. You did a video on Rosacea but did not link the products. Could you please make a video on product and Rosacea routine?@dr
I am so grateful to come across your channel! I am going to school to be an esthetician soon and am realizing there isn't much education out there for skin care for those deeper skin tones. I think your channel is going to help me excel in my soon to be profession! Thank you for sharing!
@@hananfazool920 I’m very confused on this as well. I have my am and pm routine from Dr. V but now I’m trying to understand how to incorporate exfoliating 🤦🏼♀️
Exfoliation with acids scare me. Glycolic acid and AHAs burn my skin and left it red and sensitive, it felt like my skin was on fire, so I've just been using light physical. I'm considering mandelic acid as am too scared to try lactic acid, so this video is super helpful!
This is helpful! I’ve been suddenly struggling with breakouts on my cheeks and chin and wasn’t sure I was wearing a mask long enough for it to actually be “maskne”. Now I know! I’ve been running a humidifier and sealing my moisturizer in at night thanks to your advice! ☺️
“and you are my family” 🥺 dr, you’re so kind hearted, praying for more of your success in the future thank you for educating us! my skin improved a lot after i found out about your channel 🌹

Most comprehensive and informative video on chemical exfoliating for skin of color. You answered so many questions I had regarding percentages of acids to use, which acid is better for sensitive skin etc. Thank you! Thank you very much!
Dr V I truly am greatful for your service to our melinated community in the area of skin care 🙏🏾 ❤ after having my daughter my skin became so different and it needed way more than the soap and water I had been using for years!!!! Lol . Your videos literally taught me about my skin from scratch and now I use them as a trusted resource for any further information I ever need for my new skincare routine. You are amazing thanks so much 🙏🏾 ❤ 💕 💖 💗
Happy Belated Birthday Dr. V! Can you do a video on azelaic acid? Can you also do an updated winter skin care routine for both dry and oily skin? Thanks you so much 💗
Azelaic acid is for rosacea prone skin.....and drv I have just recently seen ur videos nd believe I have literally seen like all of ur videos nd it's just perfect...ur such a gem...

Hi Dr V, more make up ingredients that are bad please!!! Loved your foundations that are bad for oily skin videos, could you look into nars natural radiant foundation, Laura mercier tinted moisturizer and Shiseido synchro skin foundation. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I thank you for your content. As a person of color, I have not had access to this type of information. As a result, I now suffer from hyperpigmentation in spite of taking care of my skin all these years. I sincerely wish I had found you years ago. However, I am now implementing the tools that you suggest to ameliorate the problem. Thank you!
I remember the time in my 20s I used to agressively scrub my face with walnut or apricot scrub and now after so many years I being clueless why i I have dark patches on my skin Dr v you are an angle really since past one year I have been following your instructions and has to say my skin is healing now
I use cerave as my cleanser I use aloe Vera as my toner I use pureactive as my exfoliant. And I use Paula's choice as my retinoid, sunscreen and moisturizer.
Thank you Dr V. I have oily combination skin and 43 years old. I am now using Naturium products. Which of their products would you recommend for cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. I also use a retinol once a week and vitamin c 3 times a week Thank you so much for your dedication to providing us with what we need for our Skin. So , so happy I stumbled upon you on TH-cam. 🙏🏾
Dr. Rattan, can you address the problem of having a darker face than your neck/body or vice versa and how to fix this? Been a huge problem of mine forever!
@A no, my arms are a little bit darker than my legs and neck but they’re still lighter than my face. My face is the darkest part and if you put my hand next to my face it’s like two different people smh
Your face and arms will tend to be darker because they are the parts most exposed to the sun. Your body responds by producing more melanine to protect those parts from the UVA and UVB rays from the sun. The more melanine that is produced, the darker those areas will be.
Dr Vanita thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Im very light skinned but i have PIH !! As u said every scratch or acne can cause me a pigment !! Because of u i know now that i have a skin of colour even if am very white/light ! I'm moroccan so yeah thank you again! U woke me up 😘😘😘
Normal skin here! I have absolutely broken my skin barrier by using the 2% bha from PC about 3 times a week! I got acne from it! Dont do it guys! Stick to any kind of exfoliation not more than twice a week! The best combination for us is like Dr V said: mandelic + bha. There is the Geek and Gorgeous 5% mandelic + 1% bha toner, it is so smoothing and makes my skin glowy, highly recommend, but not more than twice a week + not more than 4-5 drops for the whole face!
Can you review the Korean brand, Some Bi mi, they have toner, serum called,” AHA-BHA-PHA 30Days .’ As usual you are the best love all the advice you give🥰
I love the educational research of these videos, but it would be perfect if you included product recommendations for oily, dry/mature, and sensitive skin in every video instead of just talking about one skin type. This video included everyone. I used to used a silicone PMD clean brush. Can you pick one person's Instagram profile per month to do a personalized skincare routine? Please teach us about body exfoliating (products and please create a body exfoliant for our skin whenever you have time). Also something to detox our underarms and remove the hyperpigmentation.
The way I’m so emotional after finding your channel by accident.. thank you so much 😭♥️♥️♥️ ** I’ve been using 10% glycolic acid and I’m ashamed. 🙈 thank you 🙌🏾♥️
Please take her warning about glycolic acid seriously. I burned my skin using that Ordinary Peeling solution and had really bad dark marks on my neck, terrible. Please gentle with you skin. Great video!
Thank you so much for the infor!! But can we also get best recommendations for each of the exfoliators, budget to super fance?? Pleeaasse!! thanks again!
I’ve stopped exfoliating using Paula’s choice bha 2%. Double cleansing in the evening I think Is enough exfoliation for me. Happy Belated Birthday Doctor.
I made. Glycolic Face wash, within a week I was dark. I was using Niacinamide Toner and Alpha Arbutin Face Cream. Boy did I not darken so bad. I stoped it after a family member experienced the same thing. But within days of stopping it and using lactic instead, my skin was coming back to its original complexion. I still still use the wash for my knuckles, knees, elbows and toes(bruises from bad heels) and it’s working fantastic. I agree with you Doctor, Glycolic Acid is just not for people of colour.
In my punjabi community in Australia, i told lots of ladies to listen n learn about brown skin from dr v. When they ask who is dr v i send them the link from you tube. I hope they will cure their skin as i did after I ruined my skin with home remedies. Thanks a lot Dr v
@@nah_. I was looking into this brand but wasn't sure if it would be effective. For some reason I got the impression it's like water or something. I know Naturium has one that's 12% not sure if that's too high either
@@MzShortcake310 I use Mandelic Acid from The Ordinary and it's 10% and also has hyaluronic acid. I apply it after using a green tea toner and haven't experienced any irritation.
I have been so exited when I found you!!!! Excited as I am and sharing you with all my family and friends of color! Thank you so much Dr. Rattan, my skin was so pigmented on the cheeks and using one of your recommendations and is sooo happy fading already and also bought your book. Your videos are an eye opener for me and appreciate you very much explaining everything.
It’s so frustrating that acne-prone skin and oily skin is always bunched together! My skin is completely normal: it rarely gets a tiny bit shiny even on my nose and it only very occasionally feels a little tight after cleansing (but still doesn’t get dry patches.) But I get a lot of acne on my jawline and cheeks due to hormones and triggered by specific foods. Please can you advise on how treatments need to be adapted for acne skin that is most definitely not oily?
*MANDELIC ACID: Dr. VB, this is the second or third video where you forgot to provide your recommended PERCENTAGE of mandelic acid. You did so for glycolic and lactic but NOT for mandelic! What percentage of mandelic do you recommend and for how long should we keep it on? THANK YOU!))*
Loveee this channel and how authentic, honest, and easy you are with explaining products and helping us figure out this massive industry that is skin care! Would you be willing to do a video on First Aid Beauty products AND Biossance?? I think it's a pretty great line, meant for sensitive skin, and I think they generally check off most of the items on the Dr. V safe for coloured skin checklist!
What are examples of hydrating toners to use before exfoliating? Also, do we wait for the hydrating toners to dry down before applying the chemical exfoliants? Thank you
Thank you so much for your attention to skin of color and not being aggresive with your content. I can appreciate your care for our skin and being professional at the same time.
Hello, thank you so much for this wonderful post! I have a question about combining mandelic acid and salicylic acid. I have the 10% mandelic from the ordinary and 2% salicylic from Paula’s choice. Do you combine them in your hand when you’re ready to use? Or can you combine them in a bottle together and mix them? Also, what is the ratio? Is it 50/50? Thank you so much! 🙂
NO SPONSORS!! New Sub!! Thank you Dr. V!!! Keep the videos and knowledge coming. We would also like a video concerning hyperpigmentation in the axilla and how to best treat it. TIA.
Hello Dr. V! Thank you for this video! Great info :) Would love some recommendations for PHA products. Question: Could you please do a review of the ingredient tranexamic acid as well as a review of Peter Thomas Roth's PRO Strength Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment? It has niacinamide, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and alpha arbutin. Thanks!
I think i’m in the right channel! Thanks your family members skin of colour, now I does make sense to me why certain toner or sunscreen or moituriser actually cause sunburn lime effects on my face

I have oily combination skin and 43 years old. I am now using Naturium products. Which of their products would you recommend for cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. I also use a retinol once a week and vitamin c 3 times a week
Thank you so much for your dedication to providing us with what we need for our Skin. So , so happy I stumbled upon you on TH-cam. 🙏🏾
I've found my doctor. Finallly!
Dr. Rattan, can you address the problem of having a darker face than your neck/body or vice versa and how to fix this? Been a huge problem of mine forever!
Please do. It seems products make the face darker. Must be something in the ingredients?? When it happens to me I stop using the product.
@@vneal8389 same here
Using alpha arbutin from the ordinary gave me so much pimples and made me skin tone visibly darker. I wonder why
@A no, my arms are a little bit darker than my legs and neck but they’re still lighter than my face. My face is the darkest part and if you put my hand next to my face it’s like two different people smh
@@Mal-nd4nc I have the same issue 😩
Your face and arms will tend to be darker because they are the parts most exposed to the sun. Your body responds by producing more melanine to protect those parts from the UVA and UVB rays from the sun. The more melanine that is produced, the darker those areas will be.
Me and my latina skin looove this channel!
thank you so much for this, i’ve never did the exfoliation after the toner i did quite the opposite 😭 this was very helpful!!
What exfoliant ,toner and mousturiser can some one with dark and oiling face use
Dr Vanita thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Im very light skinned but i have PIH !! As u said every scratch or acne can cause me a pigment !! Because of u i know now that i have a skin of colour even if am very white/light ! I'm moroccan so yeah thank you again! U woke me up 😘😘😘
Normal skin here! I have absolutely broken my skin barrier by using the 2% bha from PC about 3 times a week! I got acne from it! Dont do it guys! Stick to any kind of exfoliation not more than twice a week! The best combination for us is like Dr V said: mandelic + bha. There is the Geek and Gorgeous 5% mandelic + 1% bha toner, it is so smoothing and makes my skin glowy, highly recommend, but not more than twice a week + not more than 4-5 drops for the whole face!
1. Followed since forever
2. Followed ur if since forever
3. Dont have any tiktok acc
Love you!
Can you review the Korean brand, Some Bi mi, they have toner, serum called,” AHA-BHA-PHA 30Days .’ As usual you are the best love all the advice you give🥰
The serum has glycolic acid as aha, so better avoid.. dont know about the cream
YES PLEASE!
Most of some by mi products content fragrance. Like linalool and limonene. Hmm, i think you know the answer
Thank you for looking out for us people of color! You're so valued ❤️
I love the educational research of these videos, but it would be perfect if you included product recommendations for oily, dry/mature, and sensitive skin in every video instead of just talking about one skin type. This video included everyone. I used to used a silicone PMD clean brush.
Can you pick one person's Instagram profile per month to do a personalized skincare routine?
Please teach us about body exfoliating (products and please create a body exfoliant for our skin whenever you have time). Also something to detox our underarms and remove the hyperpigmentation.
great idea x
Can you do a video on treating body hyperpigmentation, specifically in the booty and thigh area?
Can u do another video on post acne hyperpigmentation 😭 I’m having such terrible time removing my dark spots.
Exactly.. waiting for the same
@@sravsp7696 same 😭
Will do x
I find azelic acid and also copper peptides helpful .
Is there anything that works for chest and back post acne pigmentation??
The way I’m so emotional after finding your channel by accident.. thank you so much 😭♥️♥️♥️
** I’ve been using 10% glycolic acid and I’m ashamed. 🙈 thank you 🙌🏾♥️
Was wondering if you could do a video on tranexamic acid for hyperpigmentation! 🙂
Yes plz
Please take her warning about glycolic acid seriously. I burned my skin using that Ordinary Peeling solution and had really bad dark marks on my neck, terrible. Please gentle with you skin. Great video!
Thank you so much for the infor!! But can we also get best recommendations for each of the exfoliators, budget to super fance?? Pleeaasse!! thanks again!
I was thinking this!
Probably the most BEAUTIFUL Woman in the world!! My goodness!! 💜
I’ve stopped exfoliating using Paula’s choice bha 2%. Double cleansing in the evening I think Is enough exfoliation for me. Happy Belated Birthday Doctor.
Thankyou xx
2% BHA from Paula's Choice ruined my skin.
@@deadlifts_steaks. what happened?
@@vegangames3468, it gave me bumps. It made my skin weird.
I have used Neutrogena acne face wash for years without any problems. I know it is harsh.
The moment you said glycolic acid cuts, it instantly made sense to me. I am glad I watched this before making a purchase.
Dr.V you remind me of Madhuri Dixit ❤️❤️
You are right🥰🥰🥰
Yes exactly
I made. Glycolic Face wash, within a week I was dark. I was using Niacinamide Toner and Alpha Arbutin Face Cream. Boy did I not darken so bad. I stoped it after a family member experienced the same thing. But within days of stopping it and using lactic instead, my skin was coming back to its original complexion.
I still still use the wash for my knuckles, knees, elbows and toes(bruises from bad heels) and it’s working fantastic.
I agree with you Doctor, Glycolic Acid is just not for people of colour.
Can you please talk about how to lighten underarms, knees and elbows? Thank you!!!
have you looked at the ingredients in your deodorant?
Tumeric is a good natural lightener
@@alwayspushforward what deodorant is good for no dark underarms
@@y4554 Schmidt's Natural Deodorant
I use Native deodorant. It’s good and doesn’t have baking soda which also causes darkness for underarms 😬
I always wonder who are these people disliking the video.respect the knowledge guys.thanks
I just want to say that you are an answer to my prayers!
I’m not even kidding
That’s all
In my punjabi community in Australia, i told lots of ladies to listen n learn about brown skin from dr v. When they ask who is dr v i send them the link from you tube. I hope they will cure their skin as i did after I ruined my skin with home remedies. Thanks a lot Dr v
Doctor you haven't mentioned the % of mandelic acid for skin of colour yet 🥺
I was wondering about this too. She didn't mention and I need to know!
@@nah_. I was looking into this brand but wasn't sure if it would be effective. For some reason I got the impression it's like water or something. I know Naturium has one that's 12% not sure if that's too high either
@@MzShortcake310 I use Mandelic Acid from The Ordinary and it's 10% and also has hyaluronic acid. I apply it after using a green tea toner and haven't experienced any irritation.
@@20pearlsNcurls oohh thanks for sharing this. Seems like a happy medium. I will look into this one. Thanks so much 😊
In one of the videos she says 5%
I remember because I bought one from Wishtrend after that
I have been so exited when I found you!!!! Excited as I am and sharing you with all my family and friends of color! Thank you so much Dr. Rattan, my skin was so pigmented on the cheeks and using one of your recommendations and is sooo happy fading already and also bought your book. Your videos are an eye opener for me and appreciate you very much explaining everything.
This was a really needed video.Thanks❤
Bless you🌻
You are so welcome
@@vanitarattan could you please do a video on PHA exfoliating products that you like?
where have you been all my life Dr. V? Excellent and MUST know information for people of color. Thank you
!!!
It’s so frustrating that acne-prone skin and oily skin is always bunched together! My skin is completely normal: it rarely gets a tiny bit shiny even on my nose and it only very occasionally feels a little tight after cleansing (but still doesn’t get dry patches.) But I get a lot of acne on my jawline and cheeks due to hormones and triggered by specific foods. Please can you advise on how treatments need to be adapted for acne skin that is most definitely not oily?
I heard la roche posay lipacare is good
I have exactly the opposite! No acne whatsoever but my nose and face gets sooooo oily
taking the ordinary 7% glycolic acid from the cart right now! thanks for the service. beautifully done and very entertaining and educating.
Urea, retinoids and azaleic acids are excellent exfoliants.
*MANDELIC ACID: Dr. VB, this is the second or third video where you forgot to provide your recommended PERCENTAGE of mandelic acid. You did so for glycolic and lactic but NOT for mandelic! What percentage of mandelic do you recommend and for how long should we keep it on? THANK YOU!))*
Yes! I’ve been searching for it for the past half an hour.
Does mandelic acid+salicylic acid help with texture on skin too?
I have read in comment section of Dr V's page. She replied to the similar que of yours. Mandelic acid recommended percentage is 10%.
@@cookieeees yes.
5% Mandelic acid dear
Yay! I needed this one, was looking out for it 🙋🏻♀️💙 happy birthday 🎉
Hope you like it!
The video is VERY informative so by the end I forgot what my take away is 😕 a quick recap would greatly helpful for long informative videos pls☺️
Can you make a video on ageing prevention in your early 20s?
I’ve been wanting the same thing 🙌🏿
I was literally searching your video on exfoliation yesterday!!! & now, there it is!!! Thanks a lot, Dr.V!!!
Loveee this channel and how authentic, honest, and easy you are with explaining products and helping us figure out this massive industry that is skin care! Would you be willing to do a video on First Aid Beauty products AND Biossance?? I think it's a pretty great line, meant for sensitive skin, and I think they generally check off most of the items on the Dr. V safe for coloured skin checklist!
Thank you for a very informative and helpful lecture on how to exfoliate ! Why am I not surprised that you have such gorgeous skin !
What are examples of hydrating toners to use before exfoliating? Also, do we wait for the hydrating toners to dry down before applying the chemical exfoliants? Thank you
Paula’s Choice Resist Hydrating Toner is superb!
Klairs, Cosrx.
Yes hada labo, cos rx and paula's choice.
No need to wait x
@@vanitarattan Thank you for your response. This is very helpful
@@sharonjohn9430 Thank you. I have been eyeing that
Thank you so much for your attention to skin of color and not being aggresive with your content. I can appreciate your care for our skin and being professional at the same time.
Extremely helpful as always. Thank you!
I used lactic acid 10% and boy oh boy am I suffering. Should have listened to dr. V
Hello, thank you so much for this wonderful post! I have a question about combining mandelic acid and salicylic acid. I have the 10% mandelic from the ordinary and 2% salicylic from Paula’s choice. Do you combine them in your hand when you’re ready to use? Or can you combine them in a bottle together and mix them? Also, what is the ratio? Is it 50/50? Thank you so much! 🙂
NO SPONSORS!! New Sub!! Thank you Dr. V!!! Keep the videos and knowledge coming. We would also like a video concerning hyperpigmentation in the axilla and how to best treat it. TIA.
Hello Dr. V! Thank you for this video! Great info :) Would love some recommendations for PHA products.
Question: Could you please do a review of the ingredient tranexamic acid as well as a review of Peter Thomas Roth's PRO Strength Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment? It has niacinamide, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, and alpha arbutin. Thanks!
Hi Dr.. V What about PHA Polyglutamic Acid? Can you please do a review on brand Naturium Skincare?
I think i’m in the right channel! Thanks your family members skin of colour, now I does make sense to me why certain toner or sunscreen or moituriser actually cause sunburn lime effects on my face
Your kids are soooo blessed to have you ..Btw you are doing great job ma’am ... Tq for educating us ❤️
