Who else here check Dr. V videos before buying any skincare products? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ I’ve been following Dr. V advice lately and my skin has changed massively!!! THANK YOU Dr. V!!
Thank you Dr V🌺 I have used the Elta MD zinc oxide with titanium dioxide for the face with my clients for about 25 years and I have had no issues. No breakout and no discoloration. Have a blessed day Dr V and everyone 🙌🏻🍑Lisa .
I just want to say, that your honesty Is what has drawn us to you. I know it may feel bad to brands that make careless products or products that aren’t designed with people of color in mind- but please don’t stop telling us plainly the worst products for the skin of color family. Yes, companies are passionate about their products but unfortunately companies are also passionate about making tons of money. They are adults- they can handle it. If they are concerned with making a great product, they will adjust. You’re never derogatory, defamatory, or “mean” in your reviews. You are honest & your opinion is always backed by facts and according to your purpose and passion for skin of color. You have become a force to reckon with. We are so proud of you. This is why we love and trust you as a professional and family. It’s not negative energy. It’s honest energy. It’s protective energy. It’s empowering energy. And that’s as positive as you can get. ☺️🤗
I love how thorough dr V is and how honest she is. I’ve also follow two other doctors but some of their products they recommend are sponsored and some contain fragrance. I’ve used the products dr v recommends and they have significantly helped my hyperpigmentation!
I started using the PM therapy after going on tretinoin. It's the only moisturizer that hasn't stung my face while going through this retinization period!
My 59 year old asian skin thanks you for helping me navigate all these products. I almost just ordered the 1st one you reviewed, now I won't. I lived in the Caribbean for years in my 20's worshipping the sun and shunning sunscreen, which back then always gave me rashes. I need and appreciate a whole new education about sunscreen and trust your information because it is not monetized. Keep up the great work, when I next come to the UK again, I'm going to make it a mission to find some Dr.V sunglasses!
my dermatologist actually recommended the elta md uv clear broad spectrum spf 46 to my parents for pigmentation after removing the moles on there face (to be fair my derm is white), so i'm glad to know to avoid this and overall have more about this sunscreen :)
Omg i was JUST looking at this. I ran out of my sunscreen and have recently been doing more research into sunscreens (since I’ve been wondering why there r so many of them and how they r different). I can’t believe how serendipitous tu posting this is!!
I really enjoy your content. I have a suggestion- when doing a video on a product that you do not recommend, would you be so kind as to list several high end and several affordable/drugstore products you do. Personally, I use Elta MD 46 and Elta MD elements with 10% zinc oxide and titanium dioxide 5.5% with no problem, however, i would prefer to use a product that isn’t potentially harmful to my skin. If alternatives were listed that would be very helpful! Thank you! Keep up the great work! I live in the US.
Elta Md sunscreen broke me out badly and dermatologist suggested it in the USA. After discovering your channel , I only buy what you suggest and my skin became way better. Thank you !
I don't know where she got her info but EltaMD Clear SPF 46 is fantastic for my combination acne prone skin. She just thinks her sunscreen is the only one that works. I've tried her sunscreen and it's quite greasy and leaves a white cast on dark skin. Not to mention it's too expensive for the size and amount.
Thank you so much for making this video! I have bought two EltaMD sunscreens in the past and they have both caused me to have large cystic acne breakouts.
Last video, you talked about actives that are not good to wear during the day for skin of color - I’d love a video just talking about what ingredients are and are not safe to wear in the day, is there a pH range we should be looking out for for daytime, anything around that. Thank you so much, I love all your videos!!
9:25 you'd be surprised there are many companies, especially larger companies, that don't care about consumer safety or general benefit over increasing profits. Historically, that's been the case as well and there are documentaries showing that, across many sectors. If they can make money even at the expense of others, so be it. And the general lack of regulation of perpetuates that.
I am so glad I discovered you last summer. I am still overwhelmed by all the information and haven't made many changes lol but I plan on applying what you've taught and now I understand that skin care broadcast for the masses sadly do not apply to me and my dark brown skin.
Looking forward to purchasing it. I’m have acne oily prone skin and I’m struggling to find a proper physical sunscreen , Hopefully it will work for my skin type.
Could you look at Verdio UV moisture sunscreens? They're japanase, fragance free, essential oil and denatured alcohol free with no white cast. They have antioxidants too. They're chemical but not irritating. They're spf 50+ with PA++++ To top it all of, the essence one is $7 and the gel one, which has a bigger bottle, is (roughly?) $10 The only downsides I'd say would be the gel one looks too glowy for oily skin types and perhaps even dry skin types, but the essence one is fine
Thank you for your honest view of the Ulta MD UV Clear SPF 46. I'm torn because I love this product. It doesn't leave a white cast. It goes on smooth and leave my skin soft and glowy but not oily. It doesn't burn my eyes like other sunscreens. I really like it. But now I wonder does it offer the best protection. I hear dark skin women should wear mineral sunscreen but it literally leave my skin white. I'm torn. What do I do?
I’m confused. Dr. Rattan loves many of Paula’s Choice products with too long ingredients list that can have more possible irritants than EltaMD. But, too many dermatologist loves EltaMD because of its short ingredients list like Vanicream. 🤦🏽♂️ Enlighten me!
Bummer, bummer, bummer...I literally just purchased the EltaMD UV clear SPF 46 sunscreen. Good news is I also recently purchased the Elta MD PM moisturizer, although I haven’t used it much because I’m currently in love with my la roche posay moisturizer.
Great video!! I've been using the elta md lightly tinted sunscreen for a few yrs now. I think I'll retire it now. Recently bought a few others you recommended and loving them. Thank you.
What would you recommend for hyperpigmentation on the neck? I am a women but I grow thick black hairs on my neck that I need to pluck but it leaves a lot of scaring (picture Crunch chocolate bar) it really makes me insecure☹️🥺
What about our feelings and money. How do we feel After getting hyperpigmentation even after applying recommended sunscreen. For some people It’s easy to develop brown spots on the face but It is very difficult and sometimes not possible to get rid of hyperpigmentations. EltaMd is very wrong product for tan/olive skin. Thank you Dr. Vanita for your honest review.
I got bad hyperpigmentations after using Elta Md. in my trip to Napa. You are the only doctor who clearly understand skin products. Elta is not proper sunscreen for everyone. It is overrated. Thank you Doctor.
I appreciate how you tell us not to fall for labels with ``Dr. ``Written on them Bec we are INCI hackers we can purchase any product that is suitable for our skin looking at the ingredient list .
Interesting. My husband and I both love the eltamd UV physical sunscreen for our faces. We both break out from sunscreens that clog pores, but neither of us have had an issue with this one. Plus it's tinted and physical and is quite affordable for how big it is. I always reapply a ton throughout the day plus wear my sunscreen and hat. Is it crazy of me to keep using it? It was hard enough to get my husband to wear sunscreen at all...
The best sunscreen is the one that you like enough to wear daily. She should have said this in her video. People are dying for her approval on products they love and use. But the reality is that it is a sunscreen designed to protect you from the sun and is, at the very least, better than nothing. Like she said, brand owners don’t set out to create a bad product. They are doing the research and doing their best to create good products. Elta MD is one of the few skincare brands that stresses sun protection over useless serums and oils, and they have a wide selection of sunscreens to choose from. If you love it, use it. I use the UV daily spf 40 and adore that one.
Can you please review the new Superdrug skincare range? Particularly the products competing with those if The Ordinary's, such as Vitamin C, Retinol etc
What's the issue with Enzyme exfoliators? Most Derms and Estheticians claim they are better for sensitive skin and POC than AHAs and PHAs. I trust ur opinion and would love more information. Thanks!
I love your videos, I am Caucasian but I love learning things because I do have family and friends of color plus I have changed how I view products because of your insight
Hi , you recommended physical sunscreen which is spf 30 - drunk elephant in one of your video. And at same time you suggest to go for spf 50. I’m looking to buy new sunscreen but confused about this thing ! Hope you reply. Thanks.
What about their use of iron oxides in some of their sunscreens? I believe they use it to diminish the negative effects of blue light or prevent white cast. Safe for SOC?
Hi Dr. V, I fell blessed that i discovered you on youtube. Thankyou so much for coming for all of us. Also, kindly help me with this - how can I get rid of warts on face. Also how to prevent them in future.
You are so wonderful! I used the first product you listed from elta md for 5+ years and finally stopped a few months ago, coupled with your layering advice and my skin is A-GLOWING 🌟 girl, TY TY 🙏🏽🤎
Dr. V ive started using your recommendations on be minimist products. I've started using the niacinamide serum and sepiclam oat moisturizer, it has been working wonders for me. It has been 4 months by now, and my skin has improved so much. thankyou ❤️
Looking at Dr V I feel she is my daily dose of hope. You are flawless and so nice. I request you to make videos on * Darker arms and Legs (treatment and brigtening) * callused and cracked feet * Olay regenerist Retinol (fragrance free ) version * a good vitamin C serum from an Indian brand
Hey Dr V, you mentioned mixing resveratrol with retinol from the ordinary - can resveratrol also be mixed with vitamin C during the day for maximum antioxidant benefits? 🥰
Hey. I'm 18 and my only skincare is cleanser and sunscreen. Is that ok? I do have problems like sebaceous filaments and genetic dark circles but I cant afford better skincare. I'm worried it might become worse in the future. Should I break the bank and buy it or it's ok for now?
please do the brand instanatural. there's hype about it. Also, I appreciate so much your videos and your mission to educate us. we love your love letter for skin of colour. love from el salvador
Doctor V, we would love to see reviews of Sekkisei toner, elmusion, moisturizer, and herbal gel if ingredients are good for skin of colour and brightening agent are safe? Thank you!
I love your channel!! I have been struggling with my skin the past 4 years, which is good considering I am in my 40s, and it never even occurred to me to look for skincare specifically for skin of color! I am asian/Hispanic ethnicity. I just watched your eltamd review and wanted to ask if you have tried the skin barrier renewal. I am looking for a good moisturizer. I will definitely try the PM Therapy!
Good morning! I have been using Curlsmith (hair care) for a while and was wondering, how much does the ingredients (fragrance in particular) in these types of products affects the rest of our skin, for example when we sleep and the hair is against the face for hours. I am also waiting for your SPF. Are you going to sell it via Amazon, also? -For us in the States- Can you recommend a lip color 💋 product? It seems everything I have or am planning to buy has a lot of NDVA (Not Dr V Approved) ingredients on the list. Thank you for all your work
Dr V, have you heard of Aprilskin? Is their calendula peel off mask safe since it contains dipropylene glycol? Oh and also best light moisturizers for poc? Have been looking for a while but disappointed all the time
I can’t wait to purchase your sunscreen! I’m just wondering whether I will need to moisturise underneath it as I have oily skin and you mentioned its more for dry skin. Is it moisturising enough to be worn alone for oily skin? 💕
You said not to use antioxidants in the am, but one of the sunscreens you recommend has antioxidants, so is it ok to use in a sunscreen? Also how do you feel about mechanical facial brushes?
I am a Filipino with brown skin. You do not recommend the first 2 products. Sounds like you don’t recommend them for skin of any color and not just skin of color is that right?
Dr. V, Thank you for giving us the truth, as it relates to brands/products for skin of color. Don't feel bad about sharing what you believe. Please continue to keep us informed.
Please suggest which exfoliator is good for dry skin.. u say AHAs r not good, BHA is for oily skin, PHA is not available in products in India.. sigh.. am not able to find even 1 good product
Dr V please review the tinted version of elta Md physical sunscreen SPF 41. I have been using it from past 5 years. I wanted to know if it causes acne or not.
Thanks for the video Dr V. Should I thinking of treating my skin for hyperpigmentation if I have freckles on my face. They have got more prominent in the last two years
Hi Dr V! I’ve started using CeraVe hydrating cleanser and moisturising cream because i had dehydrated skin. Have had dry skin most of my life but sebaceous filaments have been a problem on my chin mostly sometimes my nose? Please can you help identify what to do? 🥺🙏🏼✨
Balneum cream... is a cream given to me by the dermatologist as a main moisturiser for severe eczema/psoriasis,...it's amazing to me, but maybe you can look at it for others? ...I especially want to know if it's better than Cera ve.

Can u plz suggest which sunscreen and skin care would help hyperpigmentation I do have it and have tried my best to control but still struggling
We need a chart to show what Dr V looks for in sunscreens ☺
Great idea
couldn't agree more 😊

I would love to see more sunscreen approved by Dr V. It's really hard to find a good sunscreen.
Another Dr. V video 🤸🏽♀️✨so excited. Thank you for the work that you do.

Elta Md sunscreen broke me out badly and dermatologist suggested it in the USA. After discovering your channel , I only buy what you suggest and my skin became way better. Thank you !
Dr. V we would love to see a video on how to get rid of dark armpits and dark knees and elbows

I believe the most popular Elta MD sunscreen is the mineral UV Elements brand-spectrum spf 44 tinted largely because of the Hot and Flashy channel.
HI Dr. V what are your thoughts on Elta MD's UV Restore, UV Active, and UV Glow? I saw that these three formulas were high in zinc.
they have a white cast because of hidg% of zinc oxide and won't work for dark skin.
Can you please make a video JUST on ingredients that we need to look for that good in general and then also skin specific? Thank you.
What sunscreen would you recommend and consider the best when it comes to UVA and UVB protection??
9:25 you'd be surprised there are many companies, especially larger companies, that don't care about consumer safety or general benefit over increasing profits. Historically, that's been the case as well and there are documentaries showing that, across many sectors. If they can make money even at the expense of others, so be it. And the general lack of regulation of perpetuates that.
That’s not negativity …you give honest reviews with the best intentions. You keep it real with love and it’s soooo appreciated. ♥️♥️
I am so glad I discovered you last summer. I am still overwhelmed by all the information and haven't made many changes lol but I plan on applying what you've taught and now I understand that skin care broadcast for the masses sadly do not apply to me and my dark brown skin.
So what is the best sunscreen that is physical, transparent, does not leave a white cast, hydrating and spf 50?
My heart just broke with the review on the uv clear spf46 because i love this suncreen and it works well on my brown skin😭.
Oh no, then use it 🧡
@@vanitarattan i thought it containing zinc oxide plus 5% niacinamide and Sodium Hylauronate that it's good stuff.
EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF46 has been THE BEST spf for me and my mexican skin.
just a doubt : shouldn't it be either "NAFE - (No alcohol,fragrance,essential oils)" or " AFE-Safe ( Safe from AFE) .
🤔 great suggestion
I can’t wait for your sunscreen 🥰
❤️
When will the sunscreen be for sale?
Looking forward to purchasing it. I’m have acne oily prone skin and I’m struggling to find a proper physical sunscreen , Hopefully it will work for my skin type.
Can you pleasee do a video on good drugstore sunscreens 🥺
Sure
Could you look at Verdio UV moisture sunscreens? They're japanase, fragance free, essential oil and denatured alcohol free with no white cast. They have antioxidants too. They're chemical but not irritating. They're spf 50+ with PA++++ To top it all of, the essence one is $7 and the gel one, which has a bigger bottle, is (roughly?) $10
The only downsides I'd say would be the gel one looks too glowy for oily skin types and perhaps even dry skin types, but the essence one is fine
Thank you for your honest view of the Ulta MD UV Clear SPF 46. I'm torn because I love this product. It doesn't leave a white cast. It goes on smooth and leave my skin soft and glowy but not oily. It doesn't burn my eyes like other sunscreens. I really like it. But now I wonder does it offer the best protection. I hear dark skin women should wear mineral sunscreen but it literally leave my skin white. I'm torn. What do I do?
Elta MD's website says the PA rating is PA+++ for all their sunscreens so that's high UVA protection.
I’m confused.
Dr. Rattan loves many of Paula’s Choice products with too long ingredients list that can have more possible irritants than EltaMD. But, too many dermatologist loves EltaMD because of its short ingredients list like Vanicream. 🤦🏽♂️
Enlighten me!
I was waiting for this!! I am in love with Elta MD sunscreen so it was good to get an educated opinion!
❤️
Bummer, bummer, bummer...I literally just purchased the EltaMD UV clear SPF 46 sunscreen. Good news is I also recently purchased the Elta MD PM moisturizer, although I haven’t used it much because I’m currently in love with my la roche posay moisturizer.
Great video!! I've been using the elta md lightly tinted sunscreen for a few yrs now. I think I'll retire it now. Recently bought a few others you recommended and loving them. Thank you.

No don’t break the bank ... cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen are good z

Dr. Vanita, you are helping mee. This might be why I have cystic acne breakouts...even though I am using dermatologist prescribed products
The product you recommend is a night moisturizer not a sunscreen. I’m looking for the best sunscreen
THANK YOU!!!! I felt this brand was allowing me to burn and colorscience’s wasn’t. But I still keep using it. Ugh! Why do I do that. Thanks, again!
Where can I trust to buy authentic Elta Md sunscreens from in the uk? I can’t seem to order from reputable outlets in the US
Hi! What sunscreen do you use? 🥰
How do you feel about the AM moisturizer?
Interesting. US derms trust this brand and recommend elta md sunscreens often.
Doctor V, we would love to see reviews of Sekkisei toner, elmusion, moisturizer, and herbal gel if ingredients are good for skin of colour and brightening agent are safe? Thank you!
So what sunscreen do you recommend ?
Dr. V please do one on SKIN MEDICA. I have requested this numerous times. I'm using their Lytera 2.0 I have seen quite a change in 5 months.

Dr V, have you heard of Aprilskin? Is their calendula peel off mask safe since it contains dipropylene glycol? Oh and also best light moisturizers for poc? Have been looking for a while but disappointed all the time
I’ll investigate
I can’t wait to purchase your sunscreen! I’m just wondering whether I will need to moisturise underneath it as I have oily skin and you mentioned its more for dry skin. Is it moisturising enough to be worn alone for oily skin? 💕
Yes please
Hello, I would like to ask you is vitamin A good for each skin type and skin problems. Thank you
Yes x I’ll do a video
Do you have any recommending Shampoo and conditioner?
When is the Sunscreen launching? So excited for it :)
Me too! In a month or so
So excited would it take long to ship to Australia?
Me too soo excited will this be available in the Philippines?
Where can I purchase Pharmaclinix Anti-age Serum in the US.? Found it on the UK site but not in english.
You said not to use antioxidants in the am, but one of the sunscreens you recommend has antioxidants, so is it ok to use in a sunscreen?
Also how do you feel about mechanical facial brushes?
Yes x I’ll review
Body skincare routine for super dry skin of color please ❤ my face is oily, but my body is dry 😭
Sure
OMG 😱 I thought elta md sunscreens were the best... thank you for this Dr. V keep up the the honest and good work
I am a Filipino with brown skin. You do not recommend the first 2 products. Sounds like you don’t recommend them for skin of any color and not just skin of color is that right?
Dr. V, Thank you for giving us the truth, as it relates to brands/products for skin of color. Don't feel bad about sharing what you believe. Please continue to keep us informed.
Thanks doc. I'm ordering inzincable! well done!!
Please suggest which exfoliator is good for dry skin.. u say AHAs r not good, BHA is for oily skin, PHA is not available in products in India.. sigh.. am not able to find even 1 good product
Dr V please review the tinted version of elta Md physical sunscreen SPF 41. I have been using it from past 5 years. I wanted to know if it causes acne or not.
Thanks for the video Dr V. Should I thinking of treating my skin for hyperpigmentation if I have freckles on my face. They have got more prominent in the last two years
❤️
Hi Dr.V can you review Black Girl Sunscreen plz
Would you be creating a tinted sunscreen as well?
Which other tinted Sunscreen would you recommend..I've been using the EltaMD 41 tinted but now 😒
Possibly x
What sunscreen would you recommend for a brown man? Thank you.
Hi Dr V! I’ve started using CeraVe hydrating cleanser and moisturising cream because i had dehydrated skin. Have had dry skin most of my life but sebaceous filaments have been a problem on my chin mostly sometimes my nose? Please can you help identify what to do? 🥺🙏🏼✨
Please watch my video on sebaceous filaments
@@vanitarattan if it’s just on one part of my face is it still okay for dry skin? Or just apply that to the chin area?
So I'm assuming that the UV Clear and the tinted Sunscreens are not approved either??? Thanks for all that you do.
I’ll review c
Is reequil tinted sunscreen is good ?
Was happy to learn about this brand...I've never seen it in the EU though
❤️
Hi Dr V. can you do a video about Azelaic acid please and Avène mineral sunscreen ❤
Sure
Balneum cream... is a cream given to me by the dermatologist as a main moisturiser for severe eczema/psoriasis,...it's amazing to me, but maybe you can look at it for others? ...I especially want to know if it's better than Cera ve.
I’ll review
