My opinion and only my opinion I personally think with your help you have made companies clean up their act on their products and gave customers a better knowledge on what we are buying from them and for that , bless you
shes also just saying what every other company says i.e. that her products are the best. vitamin c is pointless putting on the skin.. orally taking vitamin c is WAY cheaper and it DOES get to your skin. MOST OTC SKINCARE is pointless. when she was recommending hyaluronic acid.. it was POINTLESS back then too.. but it was made just for content it was already in many products. when she spoke about layering back then telling you how to layer 5 6 7 different products she knew damn well all of it after 2 or 3 was going to waste. all you need is PRESCRIPTION tretinoin (not OTC retinol) she wont say that otherwise you wont buy her retinol products. SPF 50 broadspec PA++++ . a cleanser and a moisturiser . occasionally you can use a chemical peel. but the rest is all pointless unless its prescription acne treatment etc
@@dubai_fitness I have a question I hope you don't mind are a skin of color? if so can you tell me the brand of tretinoin you use, and the brand of sunscreen and last how many units of vitamin C do you take, thank you for reading, seems to me you have knowledge of all this. thank you
Hi Dr. V! Since there are so many products you no longer recommend would love new videos on skincare routines for the different skin types using the new products you recommend. Especially if the products were affordable!
Can you please do this Dr. V. Skin routine for products who have all the Tyronise inhibitor that is needed for skin of colour with a bit of hyperpigmentation.
Hi Dr. V I was using the Ordinary products for hyperpigmentation and dry skin based on your recommendation. Since you no longer recommend most of the products anymore can you make an updated video for hyperpigmentation. Looking forward to see the new video. Thank you. So glad I found you on TH-cam ❤
I am glad that I found you Dr V! And thank you so much for all the education, your precious time and more importantly the difference you are making in the skin of color community around the world. I can't wait to receive my package from you, it's on the way and am about to place another order from the body range. Please stay with us and longevity to you! The sky is the limit and long lasting success is all about keeping it real
This is super interesting how opinions change over the years. When it comes to niacinamide, korean skincare is where its at imo. I only use Korean skincare these days and find it so much better than western products.
@@shutzzzzzz Currently, I'm using I'm From Rice Toner, followed by Propolis Energy Boosting Essence, then Beauty of Joseon Ginseng + Snail Mucin Serum, moisturizer then sunscreen. Throughout the day, I will spritz my face with CosRx Centella Water. Nighttime I use the rice toner, Watery Oil Drop then A-mazing Vitamin A and Bakuchiol serum 4-5x/week. The other 2 nights I will use TO 10% Mandelic acids to exfoliate. Hope that helps!
@@melatisapari1741 I'm going to start to use Isntree Green tea toner in the summer as I tend to get more oily. I've read its still very hydrating while combating the oil 🙂
I wanted to share my recent experience with your TH-cam channel. As a skincare enthusiast, I was excited when a friend suggested your channel, particularly because you focus on products for skin of color. Your content has left a strong impression on me, and as a result, I have purchased your products and book today. I can't wait to try them out and read your book. Thank you for your honest reviews and for staying away from sponsorships. Keep up the great work! Congratulations on your success, which is well-earned.
Hello Dr. V! Thank you so much for taking time to update your recommendations. You just don't know how many people you've helped and educated with "one scratch, one bite, one burn". You are amazing! I recommend your channel to all my family and friends 💜. Do you plans to make a formula of Inzincable for oily skin? And do you offer sales/specials around the holidays on your skincare kits?
Dr. V I no longer buy products until I check your videos first. What are your favorite products in 2023 for treating stubborn hyperpigmentation including the right saturated fat sunscreens? Can you also do a video on treating stubborn hyperpigmentation including the right sunscreens? I'm so grateful for you educating people of color. Thank you for filling the void.
I think the ordinary was a good introduction to skincare and are affordable, I've bought their salicylic acid and peptide serum. Luckily, they've now launched new cleansers and moisturisers, the gel moisturiser looks promising.
@lauriannajones I haven't used the ordinary that much since moving to Dr Vs pm gel. The salicylic acid was pretty good for some of my acne and the peptide serum was OK, not too impressive. It kind off made me make less forehead expression, but left my skin really shiny/oily for my liking. The gel moisturiser from the ordinary was horrible for me, I have combination skin so it left my cheeks really dry and had a tacky feel. At least I can return it after using it.
@@zakariahassan7291 Thats good I'm glad its working for you. I'm currently trying to fix my skin barrier which has been stripped because of a bar soap.
Dr V, the Naturium Niacinamide you recommended and pictured has 12% pure Niacinamide not 2%. The 2% was the Zinc. Please clarify. I have reviewed the product info and your script which said 2% Niacinamide not 12%.
I came here to say the same thing! I was confused about it too. I googled it and saw that Naturium has a 3% Niacinamide “Essence” so maybe I’ll get that!
Thank you for this updated video 💗🙏🏽 I've learned so much from you and have changed my skincare products because of what you taught me. I look at skincare products totally different now and with a keen eye. When I see social media influencers who are P.O.C.s promoting/selling skincare that isn't even good for their skin or their audience's skin, I give them a Bombastic Side-Eye because they literally have no idea what the hell they're selling. Also, many POC influencers have natural beautiful skin, in addition to many of them being in their early 20s. So they sell skincare products to their audience claiming that the products are "the best", when in fact that influencer has beautiful skin due to their GENETICS and their age - not because of some skincare products that aren't even good for their skin! It's crazy out there in skincare land. Thanks for everything you do! 💖 God bless ✨🥰
Congratulations on a 100 million views Dr V! You deserve that 👏🏾🥂! I’m glad so many of us have been enlightened regarding our skin and how best to care for it 🤍🌸.

I am soooo happy I came across you. Your advice has been life changing, and your products are staples. My skin has transformed, and it is down to you and my esthetician. I will forever sing your praise, Dr. V❤❤❤❤❤
During covid I learnt a lot from you Dr. V ❤I can run a lecture myself now😂in skincare after learning from u😊My kids started complement my face skin since I have started your recommended routine. I have stopped shopping clothes 😅and handbags 👜 anymore coz I buy Skin care products and clinic treatments only🥰🥰🥰🥰yayy. Thank you so much,I started loving my skin coz of you❤❤❤❤❤Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Can we please have some routine for feet too? Since there's a lot of confusion whether to scrub our feet or not, its difficult to decide what should we do to keep them not cracked and damaged our skin? Thank you for all you do. Sending lots of love ❤
Hi Dr. V, after discovering your channel, it became a habit to check the ingredients list of the products I intentionally want to buy at first then the moment I see 'Fragrance or Parfum' in them I just let them go. And it's true, the products which are really good are pricey. Like Naturium is really good but pricey.
Naturium’s Niacinamide serum is actually 12% not 2%. There are other brands with 2% Niacinamide in their formulations eg Beauty of Joseon glow deep serum and glow serum which both contain just 2% Niacinamide. Just thought to put that out there
exactly! she jus recommends stuff that seem good but then she can recommend hers at the end with a slam dunk lol. she dont mention ones that are better than hers
Yes I noticed that naturium's Niacinamide is 12% too and was wondering if anyone else picked up on it. I like Dr V's videos and find them informative however I feel in this instance she let us down by not checking her facts and recommending a product outside the 2-5% Niacinamide range. She probably just saw the 2% zinc and assumed it was 2% for Niacinamide.
Thanks for another great! I got micro needling done for pitted acne scarring but you’re right it doesn’t work out as well at home. Got it done at a dermatologist and thought he charged a lot more he used a deeper needle and I think it was more effective and overall safer! I still think brands like ordinary are good because they are quite affordable and accessible to most. Well done for hitting 100m views, will be 1billiom next!
Could you please consider creating more informative videos about Korean skincare ingredients as I'm a big fan and have found your guidance helpful in choosing the right skincare products ❤
Korean skincare brands like Numbuzin, some by mi, isntree, skin1004, beauty of joseon. I prefer using these brands but still want an informative video on these brands. Are the ingredients actually worth it. Is it good for skin of color.
Dr. V, I just adore your content❤️ Don't know about others but you are my first-ever skincare guide and will always be on the top list. Thank you for being there. 🙌🏽
Thank you so much for getting back to us, especially on the niacinamide’s percentage..When I learned from your IG post few months ago that you no longer approve the ordinary niacinamide… I actually side eyed🙄 you😊. Also thanks for putting it out there that these things are ever evolving.
hylauranic acid was always a waste of money its always been in moisturisers.... vitamin c was always pointless as oral vit c is WAY cheaper and gets to the skin to brighten it. retinol is pointless you should get prescription tretnoin which she was never recommend otherwise you wont buy her retinol products. she jus makes vids for content and now to sell her products
Hi DrV, thank you for all you do for skin of color, we finally have representation, I have a question, what should I do with stubborn pigmentation I have, I am on my second kit from your collection, my skin texture feels fabulous except the pigmentation. Please let me know. Thank you!
Dr. V, can you please clarify about your Naturium Niacinamide recommendation? You said it's more gentle because it's "2% Niacinamide", but the bottle actually says "12% Niacinamide and 2% Zinc". I was actually interested in that gentler formulation because I purchased The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide serum and it burns my face. Not sure if that supposed to happen because I've never used that particular niacinamide before. The niacinamide serum I used before was Glow Recipe's Niacinamide Dew Drops and I didn't have any problems with it. Thank you 💖
Hello Dr.V .... I am a blind follower of you and I religiously did all that u have said for hyper pigmentation and I have no words to thank u .... they have faded big time but not gone... pls pls let me know if I should continue with what ever I hv been doing???

I am a new subscriber, I have been binging on your videos and Dr Alexis Stephens videos. Thank you for making a difference and enlightening us about do’s and don’t’s for skin of color. I am a Paula’s Choice user but have decided to incorporate some Colorscience, Naturium, Good Molecules and your Cera Pep Moisturizer and Inzincable. I would say many people have gotten great results from The Ordinary and Good Molecules products, especially for hyperpigmentation issues. I really think they should continue if it is not harmful and worked for them. They are so affordable and millions would otherwise not have any options that worked. Thank you for alerting us to The Ordinary, Good Molecules, The Inkey List, Naturium etc. Many of their products are safe, very affordable and actually WORK!!!. People who can’t afford the high price tags can still have great skin. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much Dr.V not only your videos guides as well of what not to do or not use but also motivates so much to take care of our skin and make ot part of our other routines, just love all the information get from you, thank you so so much !
Please do a video for PCOS related hyperpigmentation and its relation with Acanthosis Nigricans... I've got dark patches on the sides of my face and neck so I'd love your inputs on the same
Anti aging for oily skin PLEASE! I started doing your anti aging paulas choice system and it makes my face so oily and I have constant clogged pores and pimples. Ugh!
I Usually see Dr.V a lot more than other derma but I have a deep observation. For example for the past 3 years I have been using 10 % Niacinamide . And it has done wonders for me. Also I know many who are getting the most benefit out of it. Why do I feel that Dr. V recommation has reduced to almost 0 of other brands / products and ends up advertising her own brand. I am not saying that anything is wrong with that but there many many products that has done wonders to my skin( ended up having a glass skin) which are not recommended by Dr. V I have highly respect for your knowledge but it's a strong feeling seeing alot of videos now . Same thing happens again and again.
Hey Dr.V, Can you please make a video of morning and night skin care routines with what and what not to layer together and suitable moisturisers for an Oily, sensitive acne prone skin. I’m hesitant to use retinol as I have damaged skin yet. Was using epiduo 0.3%/2.5% but had chemical Burns although my acne got under control for some Extent. Would like to have an advice on retinol usage aswell. Thank you so much Dr.V for this amazing service you do ❤.
Physical sunscreen for oily acne prone skin with less white cast please recommend. I have used colorescience matte and neutrogena oil free, those are oily
Can't wait to try inzincable (very soon) as we can now get it here in SA🇿🇦. The moisturizer I currently swear about, la Roche posay lipikar baume. I have tried so many which were hyped, but never worked for my skin (combination dry, acne prone skin) until I found this moisturizer...
Dr V. Could you please review Scarlett Johansson's, The Outset skincare brand. Many people claim that this skincare line is fragrance free and is good for skin but I can only rest assure if you will review it 😊 And thank you so much for spending your precious time in educating us about skin care and we are so glad we can learn all these things from a person like you who is actually certified and is a expert in this field.
Would love to see a pregnancy recommendations video x like whichbproducts are safe to use and common skin concerns thatbare triggered by pregnancy especially in Peoplenof Colour x
Congratulations Dr V! on reaching 100m views👍this is definitely a fantastic channel we love, providing skin of colour persons with the much ignored/lacking global skin care education
Dr V. I bought an eye cream called SEA-el vitamin C Kelp eye gel. I bought it b/c it seamed to have decent ingredients. I bought it at like a TJMaxx. In the top 10 ingredients it does have your fave vit C at #7 and it has veg Glycerin at #6. Oh and Licorice root at #10 or #11 Before all that its water, áloe, raddish root, sea kelp.. many veg ingredients. So can you try to find it to see if it's good? Or based on what I have shared if you think it's good. I will say it feels cooling to my eyes and I haven't had any issues thus far. Been using for about 2 months at night only. It is in a jar not an airless pump.
Hi Dr V. I was looking at the Naturium niacinamide but it say 12% not 2% can you please explain because I was really to replace my ordinary one. Please
Thanks for update as i am a follwer that was doing The Ordinary layer up, then finish off with cerave.i just bought tub of cerave but doesnt have a pump mechanism worried it wont benefit my skin.Paula choice is very good.
Thank u Dr V for educating us on how to read the INCI list and about NAFE safe on products. Earlier i never read or looked at that part of the packaging and most probably would not have understood if i hadn't come across yur vlogs You are my guru 😀 have been watching all yur videos. Recently i bought yur hyperpigmentation kit and i can see visible fading of pigmentation just after using it for two months. In the past i did use The ordinary alpha arbutin niacinamide and vit c serum for almost two yrs but didnt see much change. Keep making more videos as u have i feel made significant change in my skin care routine 👍
I tried your complete skin care range. I have used multiple skin care products. From glycolic peels to Vit C to retinol, kojic acids etc etc over the years, I’ve always seen wonderful results with them . I really wanted to get something that I can stick to forever so I bought your products. I’m so so so dissatisfied. It’s basically a useless over priced range of gimmicky skincare . The Oil Cleanser came in broken and spilled in pack. There was product left in pack so I still could use some of it .. but how I wish it all had spilled lol. The gel wash does not cleanse well. The exfoliating gel is very mild ( at least for my skin) the serum does nothing and is basically very silicone-y. The only good thing is the cera prep. This moisturizer is really nice ! I am around 38 yrs old. Never broken out on my skin even with multiple skin care products . I never ever had any hyperpigmentation. I did not have one pimple mark on my face in these 38 yrs of my life and within one month of using these products I have soooo many marks. I don’t feel like looking at myself in the mirror anymore. I have to hide my marks with makeup. I don’t know what to do now! I thought of trying hyperpigmentation kit but I’m not even sure if I should trust your products now. It’s a nightmare I’m going through..
Hi Dr V I would like to personally thank you so much to for this Channel you have really helped me so much in regards to understanding my own skin I would have been really lost without to this Channel. What I am most grateful for with this Channel has been really understanding the inci list and knowing what to avoid and what to look for in skincare thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Dr. V, thank for this video. I have oily skin and need help to remove blackheads and clogged pores below the surface, what should I focus on in my regime to address this
Hi I dont have skin of color but love watching your videos. They are very eductiona. but wanted to let you know that Naturim serum you showed has 12 percent on niacinamide not 2. I actually have this product.
Hello I’ve been using adapalene differin on my face for acne for a couple of months. As I have dry skin I slowly introduced this product on my face and I haven’t experienced any dryness or broken barrier issues. However, I haven’t seen any great results on my past acne spots. Is there anything I could use in combination with adapalene to have better results? Or do you suggest an alternative product?
Ive learned so much from watching your channel. I had no idea that skin of color skin care products should be different from caucasian skin. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
I exfoliated once a week on a damaged skin barrier and I don't think I needed to. I'm currently using your trio blemish, can I put on the Naturiam Virgin Marula Face Oil 100% unrefined organic murula oil on top of the AM & PM creames?
If you are saying layering serums like from the Ordinary is not effective, what about mixing them before applying to the face? For example mixing argiline or niacinimide with matrixylin which is a peptide serum.
Hello how are you? Can you please do a video on how to prevent/fix ingrown hairs on the face please, will glycolic acid fix it or do I need a physical exfoliator?
Dr V, my skin always gets greasy when i use any sunscreen. I have been using colorescience matte spf 50 but it is not matte at all. I can literally see it becomes oily. Also i have used neutrogena oil free spf 50. Again it is oily and hurts my eyes everytime. Can you please make video on sunscreen for oily skin❤
Can two serums be mixed together? For example I mix vitamin C and tranexamic acid to put it in my face after cleansing and toning. Thinking both will get absorbed at the same time.. I also plan to do this for alpha arbutin and niacanamide in the morning.. Will be be OK?
Bought your sunscreen and exfoliate to glow, very happy. I have combination skin and I tend to go a bit dry with mineral sunscreens, would love if it is possible to put more moisturizers in sunscreen. Ur products are amazing
Dr. V please do a video on these Indian brands: Earth Rhythm, Aqualogica, Pilgrim. Also who has been you for the longest of times, have now fine knowledge about skincare ingredients (Thanks to your all hardwork & honesty), I would really request please make a video for haircare ingredients like minoxidil etc which are so confusing as well as about hair porosity. Love & prayers from India❤😊

It says naicinamide is 12% with zinc 2% …. You said it’s 2% naicinamide????

Beauty of Joseon glow deep serum and glow serum which both contain just 2% Niacinamide. Just thought to put that out there
exactly! she jus recommends stuff that seem good but then she can recommend hers at the end with a slam dunk lol. she dont mention ones that are better than hers
Yes I noticed that naturium's Niacinamide is 12% too and was wondering if anyone else picked up on it. I like Dr V's videos and find them informative however I feel in this instance she let us down by not checking her facts and recommending a product outside the 2-5% Niacinamide range. She probably just saw the 2% zinc and assumed it was 2% for Niacinamide.
It makes sense. Sometimes I wonder if all these layers are necessary. I am glad you keep researching
Thanks for another great! I got micro needling done for pitted acne scarring but you’re right it doesn’t work out as well at home. Got it done at a dermatologist and thought he charged a lot more he used a deeper needle and I think it was more effective and overall safer! I still think brands like ordinary are good because they are quite affordable and accessible to most. Well done for hitting 100m views, will be 1billiom next!
Could you please consider creating more informative videos about Korean skincare ingredients as I'm a big fan and have found your guidance helpful in choosing the right skincare products ❤
Korean skincare brands like Numbuzin, some by mi, isntree, skin1004, beauty of joseon. I prefer using these brands but still want an informative video on these brands. Are the ingredients actually worth it. Is it good for skin of color.
Dr. V, I just adore your content❤️
Don't know about others but you are my first-ever skincare guide and will always be on the top list. Thank you for being there. 🙌🏽
Aww thakyou 🙏🏽❤️
@@vanitarattan It says naicinamide is 12% with zinc 2% …. You said it’s 2% naicinamide
Thank you so much for getting back to us, especially on the niacinamide’s percentage..When I learned from your IG post few months ago that you no longer approve the ordinary niacinamide… I actually side eyed🙄 you😊. Also thanks for putting it out there that these things are ever evolving.
hylauranic acid was always a waste of money its always been in moisturisers.... vitamin c was always pointless as oral vit c is WAY cheaper and gets to the skin to brighten it. retinol is pointless you should get prescription tretnoin which she was never recommend otherwise you wont buy her retinol products. she jus makes vids for content and now to sell her products
Hi Dr. V, Doesn't the Naturium Niacinamide zinc serum have 12% Niacinamide, not 2%?
Just thought I'd confirm.
Thank you &
Love your videos!
I was confused by that also
Nutrium has 2 niacinamide products. They have a gel that is 5percent in a jar and a 12 percent in a pump
I can't thank you enough my skin has changed in the last few years. God bless you ❤😊
Hi DrV, thank you for all you do for skin of color, we finally have representation, I have a question, what should I do with stubborn pigmentation I have, I am on my second kit from your collection, my skin texture feels fabulous except the pigmentation. Please let me know.
Thank you!
Dr. V, can you please clarify about your Naturium Niacinamide recommendation? You said it's more gentle because it's "2% Niacinamide", but the bottle actually says "12% Niacinamide and 2% Zinc".
I was actually interested in that gentler formulation because I purchased The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide serum and it burns my face. Not sure if that supposed to happen because I've never used that particular niacinamide before. The niacinamide serum I used before was Glow Recipe's Niacinamide Dew Drops and I didn't have any problems with it.
Thank you 💖
We thank you so much! I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve gained my confidence back with improving my skin! Thank you thank you thank you!
Hi, Can you please do an updated one for naturium skincare products?
Hello Dr.V .... I am a blind follower of you and I religiously did all that u have said for hyper pigmentation and I have no words to thank u .... they have faded big time but not gone... pls pls let me know if I should continue with what ever I hv been doing???
Dr. V., the stares I get since I’ve followed your pithy skincare advice is incomprehensible!!!! Thank you for sharing so much with your SOC family.
Dr. V made a huge difference in the skincare industry!
hylauranic acid was always a waste of money its always been in moisturisers.... vitamin c was always pointless as oral vit c is WAY cheaper and gets to the skin to brighten it. retinol is pointless you should get prescription tretnoin which she was never recommend otherwise you wont buy her retinol products. she jus makes vids for content and now to sell her products
I am a new subscriber, I have been binging on your videos and Dr Alexis Stephens videos. Thank you for making a difference and enlightening us about do’s and don’t’s for skin of color.
I am a Paula’s Choice user but have decided to incorporate some Colorscience, Naturium, Good Molecules and your Cera Pep Moisturizer and Inzincable.
I would say many people have gotten great results from The Ordinary and Good Molecules products, especially for hyperpigmentation issues. I really think they should continue if it is not harmful and worked for them. They are so affordable and millions would otherwise not have any options that worked.
Thank you for alerting us to The Ordinary, Good Molecules, The Inkey List, Naturium etc. Many of their products are safe, very affordable and actually WORK!!!. People who can’t afford the high price tags can still have great skin. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much Dr.V not only your videos guides as well of what not to do or not use but also motivates so much to take care of our skin and make ot part of our other routines, just love all the information get from you, thank you so so much !
Cerave tub is something I keep going back to! Suits me the most.
Me too
Dr V, please can you do videos on the use of Tallow Butter and also how effective Red Light Therapy masks are. Thanks.
Dr. V can you do an updated video for a skin care routine for POC teens with dry skin, oily skin with occasional breakouts/acne prone skin? Thank you!
Please do a video for PCOS related hyperpigmentation and its relation with Acanthosis Nigricans... I've got dark patches on the sides of my face and neck so I'd love your inputs on the same
I've been with you since I was in esti school during covid. Such a wealth of knowledge and your ethics are what's brought me back every video.
Anti aging for oily skin PLEASE! I started doing your anti aging paulas choice system and it makes my face so oily and I have constant clogged pores and pimples. Ugh!
I Usually see Dr.V a lot more than other derma but I have a deep observation. For example for the past 3 years I have been using 10 % Niacinamide . And it has done wonders for me. Also I know many who are getting the most benefit out of it.
Why do I feel that Dr. V recommation has reduced to almost 0 of other brands / products and ends up advertising her own brand.
I am not saying that anything is wrong with that but there many many products that has done wonders to my skin( ended up having a glass skin) which are not recommended by Dr. V
I have highly respect for your knowledge but it's a strong feeling seeing alot of videos now . Same thing happens again and again.
Hey Dr.V,
Can you please make a video of morning and night skin care routines with what and what not to layer together and suitable moisturisers for an
Oily, sensitive acne prone skin. I’m hesitant to use retinol as I have damaged skin yet. Was using epiduo 0.3%/2.5% but had chemical
Burns although my acne got under control for some
Extent. Would like to have an advice on retinol usage aswell.
Thank you so much Dr.V for this amazing service you do ❤.
Hi Dr.V. If I already use tretinoin for acne, do you think I should stop and use a retinol instead?
Physical sunscreen for oily acne prone skin with less white cast please recommend. I have used colorescience matte and neutrogena oil free, those are oily
Can't wait to try inzincable (very soon) as we can now get it here in SA🇿🇦. The moisturizer I currently swear about, la Roche posay lipikar baume. I have tried so many which were hyped, but never worked for my skin (combination dry, acne prone skin) until I found this moisturizer...
I ordered from musebeauty in South Africa 🇿🇦 , delivered within a day . Started using today
Can do a review on Revolution Skincare Ceramides Moisture Cream please, it has most of the ingredients you have motioned the most on your video.
Dr V. Could you please review Scarlett Johansson's, The Outset skincare brand.
Many people claim that this skincare line is fragrance free and is good for skin but I can only rest assure if you will review it 😊
And thank you so much for spending your precious time in educating us about skin care and we are so glad we can learn all these things from a person like you who is actually certified and is a expert in this field.
Can you recommend a top 5 moisturizer for oily combination skin
Is the Naturium niacinamide OK to use as it says it's 12% and not 2%? Or am I missing something?! Thanks.
she obvioiusly didnt take her time researching for us... she just wanted to mention her own product at the end as superior
Would love to see a pregnancy recommendations video x like whichbproducts are safe to use and common skin concerns thatbare triggered by pregnancy especially in Peoplenof Colour x
Which are the best cocktail creams that you recommend for acne prone skin after 30?
I’m so glad that you made this video Dr. V ❤
Please do an upgradedAM/PM, Pregnancy Safe skincare routine vid please!
Much Love 🤗
The layering of Ordinary products that I got from this channel helped my skin very much. But this video was still helpful.
Also, best approach to collagen stimulation & tackling dark marks! Skin needling or red light therapy?
My daughter (24 years old) is half-Asian and half caucasian. Could you talk about skincare, which products for them please., many thanks in advance.
Congratulations Dr V! on reaching 100m views👍this is definitely a fantastic channel we love, providing skin of colour persons with the much ignored/lacking global skin care education
Do you like tatcha products?? Please advise
Hey Dr V, the naturium says 12% niacinamide 2% zinc… is their packaging confusing or is this recommendation a mistake?
mistake
Hi Dr.V the first two moisturizers you mention has pore clogging ingredients, but is it still safe to use?
Dr V. I bought an eye cream called SEA-el vitamin C Kelp eye gel. I bought it b/c it seamed to have decent ingredients. I bought it at like a TJMaxx. In the top 10 ingredients it does have your fave vit C at #7 and it has veg Glycerin at #6. Oh and Licorice root at #10 or #11 Before all that its water, áloe, raddish root, sea kelp.. many veg ingredients. So can you try to find it to see if it's good? Or based on what I have shared if you think it's good. I will say it feels cooling to my eyes and I haven't had any issues thus far. Been using for about 2 months at night only. It is in a jar not an airless pump.
Hi Dr V. I was looking at the Naturium niacinamide but it say 12% not 2% can you please explain because I was really to replace my ordinary one. Please
Thanks for update as i am a follwer that was doing The Ordinary layer up, then finish off with cerave.i just bought tub of cerave but doesnt have a pump mechanism worried it wont benefit my skin.Paula choice is very good.
Are the products available for delivery in South Africa
Thank u Dr V for educating us on how to read the INCI list and about NAFE safe on products. Earlier i never read or looked at that part of the packaging and most probably would not have understood if i hadn't come across yur vlogs
You are my guru 😀 have been watching all yur videos. Recently i bought yur hyperpigmentation kit and i can see visible fading of pigmentation just after using it for two months. In the past i did use The ordinary alpha arbutin niacinamide and vit c serum for almost two yrs but didnt see much change. Keep making more videos as u have i feel made significant change in my skin care routine 👍
Thanks for the education, I just want to know what cocktail or product that has all the ingredients that you would recommend for skin of colour
Hey dr v what clarifying shampoo would you recommend and also would you be able to create one?
Are we able to mix all of our skincare so it mixes all at once versus layering?
Hi you mentioned not higher than 2-5 percent and your recommendations are to use Naturium which is 12% plus Zinc at 2%
Hello. Is that Naturium Niacinimide 12 or 2%?? Thanks.
I tried your complete skin care range. I have used multiple skin care products. From glycolic peels to Vit C to retinol, kojic acids etc etc over the years, I’ve always seen wonderful results with them . I really wanted to get something that I can stick to forever so I bought your products. I’m so so so dissatisfied. It’s basically a useless over priced range of gimmicky skincare . The Oil Cleanser came in broken and spilled in pack. There was product left in pack so I still could use some of it .. but how I wish it all had spilled lol. The gel wash does not cleanse well. The exfoliating gel is very mild ( at least for my skin) the serum does nothing and is basically very silicone-y. The only good thing is the cera prep. This moisturizer is really nice ! I am around 38 yrs old. Never broken out on my skin even with multiple skin care products . I never ever had any hyperpigmentation. I did not have one pimple mark on my face in these 38 yrs of my life and within one month of using these products I have soooo many marks. I don’t feel like looking at myself in the mirror anymore. I have to hide my marks with makeup. I don’t know what to do now! I thought of trying hyperpigmentation kit but I’m not even sure if I should trust your products now. It’s a nightmare I’m going through..
Hello what brightening cream is good for under arms, elbows knees. Thank U
DrV thanks for your videos… Question should I stop using the ordinary layering method as it is working for me? I only was 4 actives….
Dr V may you please review Yearn Skin, it is a South African skincare range that I would like to try. Thanks
Hopefully, I can afford to buy your products Dr. V, when the shipping fee in our country is not so crazy. Love your videos. ❤❤❤
Simple with me works i would just use one active. Either Niacinamide, Retinol, vitamin c
Should the keihls have better packaging?
Hi Dr V I would like to personally thank you so much to for this Channel you have really helped me so much in regards to understanding my own skin I would have been really lost without to this Channel. What I am most grateful for with this Channel has been really understanding the inci list and knowing what to avoid and what to look for in skincare thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Dr. V, thank for this video. I have oily skin and need help to remove blackheads and clogged pores below the surface, what should I focus on in my regime to address this
Hi dr. V, only now I see this video and I thank you for it. I have a maybe stupid question, but do we really need a serum in our skincare routine?
Hi I dont have skin of color but love watching your videos. They are very eductiona. but wanted to let you know that Naturim serum you showed has 12 percent on niacinamide not 2. I actually have this product.
Hello I’ve been using adapalene differin on my face for acne for a couple of months. As I have dry skin I slowly introduced this product on my face and I haven’t experienced any dryness or broken barrier issues. However, I haven’t seen any great results on my past acne spots. Is there anything I could use in combination with adapalene to have better results? Or do you suggest an alternative product?
Ive learned so much from watching your channel. I had no idea that skin of color skin care products should be different from caucasian skin. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
Would you recommend The retinol serum(not the 1% retinol,just the normal one)?????
Would you recommend taking skin supplements to help treat acne, especially hormonal acne?
Dr V, love your content. Please do an AM and PM routine using brands available in India.
I exfoliated once a week on a damaged skin barrier and I don't think I needed to. I'm currently using your trio blemish, can I put on the Naturiam Virgin Marula Face Oil 100% unrefined organic murula oil on top of the AM & PM creames?
Please do a new post inflammatory hyperpigmentation routine with this new information. Its so confusing on what to we should and shouldnt do 😢
If you are saying layering serums like from the Ordinary is not effective, what about mixing them before applying to the face? For example mixing argiline or niacinimide with matrixylin which is a peptide serum.
hi dr V could you pls do a video on eye creams n eye
serums - what's the difference n how to choose thank you
Hello how are you? Can you please do a video on how to prevent/fix ingrown hairs on the face please, will glycolic acid fix it or do I need a physical exfoliator?
Dr V, my skin always gets greasy when i use any sunscreen. I have been using colorescience matte spf 50 but it is not matte at all. I can literally see it becomes oily. Also i have used neutrogena oil free spf 50. Again it is oily and hurts my eyes everytime. Can you please make video on sunscreen for oily skin❤
Hi,
Is it enough to use Nars tinted moisturiser as a sunscreen daily. Or do we still have to use a sunscreen separately.
Love your videos ❤
Can two serums be mixed together? For example I mix vitamin C and tranexamic acid to put it in my face after cleansing and toning. Thinking both will get absorbed at the same time.. I also plan to do this for alpha arbutin and niacanamide in the morning.. Will be be OK?
Bought your sunscreen and exfoliate to glow, very happy. I have combination skin and I tend to go a bit dry with mineral sunscreens, would love if it is possible to put more moisturizers in sunscreen. Ur products are amazing
I use moisterizers under but still feel dry
Dr. V please do a video on these Indian brands:
Earth Rhythm, Aqualogica, Pilgrim.
Also who has been you for the longest of times, have now fine knowledge about skincare ingredients (Thanks to your all hardwork & honesty), I would really request please make a video for haircare ingredients like minoxidil etc which are so confusing as well as about hair porosity.
Love & prayers from India❤😊
