I would like to see the makeup review of bodyshop. People with colored skin are more likely to be a minority that have a low income and purchase from affordable drugstore products are toxic to our skin. It would be nice if she kept reviewing new products from the drugstore affordable brands as well as the foundation and concealers. Because I do get anxiety to purchase a new foundation due to my hyperpigmentation.
Don't apologize for your honesty! We have so many sponsored skin care videos from these "experts", so we need a balance with people like you and Dr. Dray!
I’ll say this over and over and over again...I’ve learned so so so much from you regarding skin of color. You have no idea how much I appreciate you, this channel and your social media. I was using so many products that was bad for my skin and I had no idea until I found your channel. I literally treat your videos like a college lecture, I sit with a note pad and take notes. I freaking love you woman. Please do not stop teaching and educating us on products. It’s been about 10 days now since I’m following your recommendations from your hyperpigmentation video and my face is 85% better. I know you said when we’re in our 30s, it takes longer to see cell turn over but girl I saw turn over in a matter of three days...and I’m not kidding. I can’t wait to see even more improvement in a month or two.
I'm so glad you covered the Body Shop! It's the first brand I see when I walk into any Clicks store in South Africa, and I've come sooo close to buying their products, but stopped myself because I hadn't seen any reviews. Love you Dr. V💕
So I was gifted the drops of youth serum by a friend and I wrote a review on The Body Shop website. They removed the review and stated that it didn’t meet their guidelines. I just simply stated it was completely unnecessary to have all that fragrance in it and you can buy some of the key ingredients in it from another brand for much cheaper. The obviously don’t value constructive feedback 🤷🏽♂️
Aliza Naqvi Hi I now just use a cleanser from Cerave which has the Salicylic acid in it which the drop of youth serum has and the drop of youth also has Sodium Hyaluronate in it which I believe is derived from Hyaluronic acid of which I use The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid serum. I have really oily skin so there are other serums I use from The Ordinary. In total they still come to less than the drop of youth serum.
My friend has recently become a bodyshop home consultant. She raves about bodyshop stuff obviously. I think if I said anything now, I would be loosing a good friend.
Basically most drugstore products or rather products that are easily accessible to everyone are a no no and super toxic to our skin. It hurts but at the same time it’s the truth that we deserve as people of color! I must say that in South Africa we struggle with getting access to all these good products like Cerave and the ordinary. We literally have to buy online and they are expensive. Thank you so much Doc for your honesty. We really do need more of you in this world ❤️❤️❤️
We still have to order good skincare online in the UK most drugstore products in the UK and rubbish, cerave is still new in the UK and we only got the basic cerave products not the nice ones
I used the Himalayan clay mask and it left my skin so fresh and clear. It was visibly improved after each use so I would recommend it definitely. Whereas after using cerave moisturiser my skin was burning. Proves that we are all different.
I am from india please do review of the following brands The derma co. (Niacinamide serum , sunscreens etc) Ybp cosmetics Earth rhythm ( niacinamide , peptide ,vit c , alpha arbutin , mandelic acid serums) Juicy chemistry Vilvah Pure by priyanka - myoho Wow skin science ( vit c serum , HA serum ) Mamaearth Soulflower (vit c serum , peptide serum etc ) The Tribe concepts Reequil ( remaining products ) Dot and key ( vit c , retinol , HA serums , chemical exfoliator) Shesha beauty Plum goodness Indulgeo
Half of these brands can be striked off the list. Mamaearth straight up puts some citrus essential oils and what not and calls in vit c. Wow's the same. Horrible brand. Whichever of these have products with fragrance don't really need a review tbh since all the products would be ❌
I saw the full video and I have very different viewpoints. Let me start by saying that I have oily acne prone sensitive skin. I tend to get breakouts every now and then if I’m not cautious and when I say I swear by some products, I genuinely mean it. Starting with Vitamin E cream I must say it is my holy grail! It leaves my skin soft and nourished. I even use Vitamin E mask from this range and God the next morning my skin feels smooth and replenished. As far as the fragrance is concerned I know it sounds weird but the fragrance is calming fragrance. It does not give you burning sensation or irritation. Next I use Charcoal Mask. Oh God, that is my go to mask. I give it a 100% go. It calms my skin down, it takes away all the impurities and leaves my skin refreshed. The fragrance in it is what I want. It is not irritating. It also helps to clean my pores. Lastly the tea tree face wash or the whole range is a savior if your skin is acne prone. I have tried this face wash, foam cleanser, scrub everything. Believe me if you have stubborn acne just wash your face 2 times with this and you’ll thank me. For me all of these work well. I repurchase them and will continue to do so!
Also pls consider introducing a line of products for skin and hair. It would be so muchhhh easier for us skin of color ppl to simply purchase it and be content that we are buying the right thing🤗
You're such a beautiful gift to society. Thank you so much Dr V from the bottom of my heart. I wish the universe bless you a hundredfold. We appreciate everything you so!
your videos on the ordinary really helped me make a routine and i find a huge difference in my skin over the past weeks. just wanted to thank you Dr. V!!! keep going!!! 💕
Dear doctor V, my skin and my pocket thank you. I hope you would consider : 1. Video on dark underarm, elbows.. what to use 2. Microneedling or how to get rid of acne scars (icepick, box scars etc for SOC). 3. Brands to review : Fresh, Caudalie, Origins 4. Drugstore recommended moisturizers, toners, etc (something like a compilation video) Thank you very much, doctor. You made me into a smarter consumer and i no longer waste my money and time trying products that are no good to my skin. Now i hear "one burn, one scratch" and i stop myself from getting influenced by whatever ads i see.
Dr. V, one of most accessible brands is Eucerin, I can find it at most drugstores, supermarkets, etc. and is very affordable. Would you recommend any of these products for skin of color?
Hi, could you please make videos on the following topics: Textured skin How to reduce Sebaceous filaments Chemical exfoliation Also could you please find sunscreens in India for oily skin that do not contain fragrance (it's too hard😭) Lots of love from India😊
@@vanitarattan dr. Please go through this indian brand you will love them- the earth rhythm. No plastic, no fragrance, no alcohol, wonderful ingredients, please review their products including the mineral sunscreen.
I remember that vitamin E moisture cream being the reason for my realization of having sensitive skin as it broke me out in a horrible rash during my teens. Have since used La roche Posay for most of my life, just now dabbling into actives and value your information as a 5th year medical student!
“We are not salads” literally laughed out in the train 😂 thank you so much for educating us with all your knowledge. None of my med school derm lectures covered even 10% of what you have covered. You should teach this to Dermatologists. I have seen many and none have this depth of knowledge. All dermatologists should be taught on formulations as well the pathophysiology
Hi. Dr. Rattan!! Would you be so kind as to give me a suggestion of what kind of Kojic acid I should try. I have tried so hard to search on my own but the options are all daunting. Also is this a product best used in the winter in order to avoid photosensitivity? 🙏🏼 Thank you so much for your service and passion.
Hi Dr V, thank you for creating a channel like this. I'm a female originally from Nigeria but now live in NY. I would like to learn more about treating facial hair permanently for darker skin tone and the clearing of the hyperpigmentation caused by the various removal of the facial hair,like waxing, shaving plucking etc. Thank you for all that you do 🙏🏾
Pure Rosewater by the brand Rosense is a good toner. I got introduced to the brand when I lived in Turkey. No strange ingredients that could potentially be harmful.
Omg you're totally a god sent.. U are amazing to be doin this & being so honest abt products.. I wish others in the beauty industry can learn from u & take example.. I hav switched out my entire facial products for the better.. Thank u soo soo much for this
Honestly! I have spent so much money on expensive products that were not suitable for my skin and now I have made a complete switch after watching Dr Rattan's videos!
video suggestions: - Body skincare...is there a difference between it and facial skincare? Fragrance in body care (like body lotion, soap), is it okay? What are drugstore options for good body care? - Comments on PFB Vanish to lighten knees, elbows, between the thighs on dark African skin? - Ren AHA body serum vs Skinfix Renewing Body Cream. What is going to even body skin better?
Just massive congratulations on you getting to 100k subscribers and so quickly as well.😉😊 People with the extra melanin have been ignored for a long time in the world of beauty. Thanking you for your time and expertise. 😍🙏
I used that tea tree toner for a month or two for my acne and realised it was doing more harm than good. Once I read the ingredients and saw denatured alcohol was second on the list I stopped using it immediately. After that I really got into learning which ingredients were good or bad for my skin and am using much better skincare now, mainly The Ordinary.
I love what you are doing. You need to develop a skin care line for skin of colour that we can buy over the counter. Think about it. Congrats and keep the vidoes coming. 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for being honest, we need TH-camrs who are honest. Not ones who want to lick the feet of great corporations hoping to get sponsored. And not only are you honest but also so knowledgeable. This video is beyond helpful and useful, saved me from going out and buying a bunch of Body Shop facial products to try out. I'm glad they also have a fragrance free line for sensitive skin though, I will probably try out a couple products from that line someday.
Hi dr v. Can you please do a review on “the revolution” skin care products? I am using the niacinimide 10% + zinc but it irritated my skin at first. I’ve been watching your videos religiously thank you for serving us with a wealth of knowledge
I only just discovered those drops of youth and it was in my cart but I first decided to check youtube for reviews. So glad I did, because I'm not tryna mess up my skin
You know what i learned a lot in this channel about skin care even im a male. However, i feel so bad and really feel upset for those brands keeps on using chemical that completely not good for our skin! Why do they allow that to happened or reproduce. Thanks Doc. V you're completely eye opener.
Thanks Dr V. Love you. There’s no negativity for me when you are going through ingredients list and back to back not so god products. I fact I am happy to know this information.
Thank you Dr V for educating us thanks alot. I use aloe vera moisturizer 20 yrs now from body shop .it is for sensitive skin & my skin likes it & it's fragrance free this is why I really liked it.but I cannot use any others skin products from body shop or any other products because my face is sooo sensitive .
Dr V, the brand "The Dermaco" is selling it's products referring that they are prescribed by Dermatologists. Can you please go through those product's ingredients list too? Please.Thanks and love...
Dr. V, Thank you so much for another GREAT video. Also, I'm thrilled to see your subscriber base GROW. I see you are now at 100+k subbies, and growing. I Love it. Congrats! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please do a video on physical sunscreen 🌤️ available in India. Some products - La shield Fisico matte sun gel spf 50+ pa +++ Suncros soft matte gel spf 50 pa +++ Earth's rhythm ultra defense mineral sun spf 50 Z screen zinc oxide gel spf 50 pa +++
I’m so fortunate to find you because you think exactly like me I also want to get rid of plastic especially in our food products and skin care products. I definitely would never buy products with alcohol witch hazel essential oil’s fragrance and I actually like skin care products that smells like herbs if it is made out of green tea it should smell like green tea or if it’s made out of ginseng it should smell like ginseng and I don’t mind that even if it’s mugwort some people don’t like it but I appreciate the benefits. Exactly we should take care of our mother earth before we have no mother earth to live on. Thank you!
When Dr V finally was happy with one Body shop line .. that feeling !😂 That breath of relief ..I could feel Dr.V 's happiness radiating thru my phone 🤣 Really thankyu for discovering that abt Body shop !
I am a Cosmetologist and SPA Therapist and I always recommend products with good ingredients and warm my clients about fragrance. Also, As a dark skin Caribbean woman it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a physical sunscreen that does not leave a white cast. I can wait for your skincare line. Thank you for great content, greatly appreciated.💞
what you are doing is really great! you are literally helping us by being this honest and I hope you continue to do that despite the brands being negative about it, because they are the ones that should improve for the positive. Honestly thank you!
Dr @vanita you are an angel 👼! There is just garbage of information out there related to cosmetics and you are creating a revolution dear and we love you for that ! 💗☺️☺️
Hi Dr. Vanitta I am a great fan of your work.Can you please suggest an entire skin care routine for all skin types including the products easily available in India. Specially Suncreens as the ones suggested by you are not available in India.
Dr V, you know what you are amazing. I have got obsessed with your channel and iam so much thankful for your advices. I saw first time your video in end of September 20 and by now I have seen 70% of your videos. You are doing amazing job. May God bless you and give you more health.
Yay!!! Finally you're reviewing The Body Shop. I kinda knew it's going to be hard hit as "fragrance is in the air" with body shop. 12:30 an honest confession and we all stand by this. I've used a few products you've covered today but stopped since I know that fragrance is one of the biggest culprit. No more Body Shop 🙅♀️ except Aloe Vera lol. Thanks for educating us Dr V 🥰 Can you please review Simple skincare?
we are at 100k and going up,... I'm so excited that your channel is growing,... I have learnt so much from you Dr. V and I just wanna take this opportunity to just appreciate you❤
Thank you for your honest review, for your thorough research and for making the science understandable. I’m sure it’s not easy to rate brands and products poorly and I’m sure you are getting heat for it so thank you for doing that for us ❤️❤️
Hello Dr. V. I hope you can review more Physical sunscreens from Korean Brands, may be a video on best physical sunscreens-Kbeauty version. Colorescience as what you have recommended is not available in my country. Thank yoooou ❤️
there are many other tinted mineral sunscreens available such as la rocher posey athelios tinted sunscreen (get the tinted one though - the other physical ones leaves a horrible white caste) and the create hydrating tinted sunscreen- hope this helps sis x
Dr. V thank you for giving us ingredient breakdowns of products from certain brands ! Please review Bioderma products - sensibio line and the AR cream and la roche posay toleriane line. Looking forward to your next video :)
I have been using drops of youth products including the one menstioned for 2 years now and it really dried my face. You are so right, it really accelerates ageing and you only realise when it is so late. you are so knowledgable. Thanks for enlightening us always. I am so in love with your videos.I like your honest reviews.
I developed contact dermatitis on my lips in my twenties and I could never figure out what caused it. Now that I look back, I think it could have been developed by all those lip products I used to wear with fragrance.
Could you also review the Aroma magic sunscreen line of products from India. They are really light on the pocket and claim to be all natural. Lots of love😊
@@thomasjohnson9793 ive used their mineral scrub or sth and it had like 3 different essential oils, and when i used it on pat-dried skin it gave me red patches all over the face, so wouldn't recommend. Also they mentioned it's preservative free, doesnt make sense to me
Could you please do a video where you tell us which ingredients we should avoid? Because when you say we should avoid fragrance I don’t really know which ingredients are meant. btw I love you and your content ♥️
I love your honesty thank you so much. I used to use the body shop skincare a lot but Because I’ve been using them for a long period of time and I had no knowledge of ingredient lists, my skin got so sensitive.
It seems like there is alot of things on the market that we cant use. So what kind of face washes and masks that are highstreet price ? Can you do a video on products we can use.
Thank you so much for sharing! I never really read the label of skincare products I bought, I usually just buy it because of friends reccomendation/some articles reviews about the products but never really educate or mention about ingredients in it. Because of your video I have become more aware about skincare products, I love the way you talk it is clear and easy to understand. God bless
Thank you for being honest! We need more people like you who don’t care what brands think. I came across a new brand that looks promising from what I’ve learned on your channel called Ghost Democracy. Would love a review on it!
I'm usually meh on any masks, but the sheet mask feels so nice and I've never had a reaction. I've tried the toner and it always makes my inner cheeks burn...which sounds like similar den. Alc. products would do the same. I'd consider trying the aloe face wash now too.
Just came across this video looking up research for The Body Shop. So amazing to find an educated POC who knows her stuff!! Thank you so much for this video! I've subscribed!
Can you review the brand dermaco please!! They have a 10% niacinamide serum which is the only dupe for the ordinary available in India. If it’s approved by you I would love to purchase it
Hi, I have recently purchased a Niacinamide serum from a brand called Earth Rythym. Just started using it so no reviews yet, but you can have a look at it if you'd like :)
They did unfortunately this doctor need to do a little more research be cause if this was done five months ago, she would of known herself that the Bodyshop has under gone reformulation acore the whole product board and ranges.
@@lornapitchers3761 Depends on when her video was actually filmed, the release of it was 5 months ago. It's good that they have gone through a reformulation though! Do you happen to know which products were changed? I had a look at their site recently, browsing their creams and noticed a lot of them still contain fragrance in them. Hopefully she'll do a recent video on those products that were reformulated for us! :) Also depends on if she's getting enough requests for it though, not sure if there are a huge amount of people who follow her who use The Body Shop stuff or not.
thank you so much for making this content! this is the channel I've been searching high and low for a youtuber that eplains skincare for POC that is also based in england!!!!
My heart breaks 💔after hearing that their Tea tree facial wash also has those ingredients which aren’t good for skin. I have been using this face wash for many years now & I feel like, have I done a lot of harm to my skin already ? Please suggest a good face wash for acne prone & pigmented skin.
I have very dry skin and the vit E moisturiser from the body shop works very well for me. Using it since the past 5 years without any signs of damage or irritation on my skin!
Which high street skincare brands would you recommend for SOC? The body shop was one I thought was good but you’ve taught me otherwise. Please give suggestions! ❤️
Luckely I found this video bc I want to change my Skincare regimen. Over 10years I used Tea Tree products from the BodyShop and I never know that their are ingredients which are not good for the skin👀But one thing I am greatful for is that it had made my skin clear ✨but still 👆🏾how you said for the beginning everything seems good but than the day comes where it can have an after effect for your skin!! I really thankful for your channel ✨🙏🏾

Most of the angry people are just upset they’ve been using the wrong products for a long time lol at least she’s telling them now
Dr. Dray advertises that ridiculous sigma coffee because she gets sponsored by them even tho they were sued for being carcinogenic. I don't trust her.
I have tested many CBD oils. I think the CBD from Weedborn is the absolute best.

I'm kind of gutted. I know I'm naive to think just because The body Shop's products aren't tested on animals, they'll be okay for our skin. 🤦♀️
So glad I found your channel. You are gorgeous inside and out - just so kind, gentle about harsh truths, clear speaker.
My whole skincare routine is body shop. I thought it was good 😱
If it works for u then use it. Everyone is different.
Pure Rosewater by the brand Rosense is a good toner. I got introduced to the brand when I lived in Turkey. No strange ingredients that could potentially be harmful.
Yes, I would like to learn about manufacturing cosmetics!
It is so important for us the consumer to be fully aware of what we are putting on our skin. Thank you Dr. V. for educating us .
Kind regards.

Thanks for this video. We need more people like you to review Indian brands correctly!
Exactly, there are so many TH-camrs that just don't care what the ingredients are, it's just if they like it or not.
When you enter Body Shop, you literally get welcomed & greeted by fragrances!
In my opinion, LUSH uses a lot more artificial fragrances in their products. I avoids LUSH products entirely!
Omg you're totally a god sent.. U are amazing to be doin this & being so honest abt products.. I wish others in the beauty industry can learn from u & take example.. I hav switched out my entire facial products for the better.. Thank u soo soo much for this
Me too
Thankyou 🙏🏽🧡
Honestly! I have spent so much money on expensive products that were not suitable for my skin and now I have made a complete switch after watching Dr Rattan's videos!
video suggestions:
- Body skincare...is there a difference between it and facial skincare? Fragrance in body care (like body lotion, soap), is it okay? What are drugstore options for good body care?
- Comments on PFB Vanish to lighten knees, elbows, between the thighs on dark African skin?
- Ren AHA body serum vs Skinfix Renewing Body Cream. What is going to even body skin better?
Just massive congratulations on you getting to 100k subscribers and so quickly as well.😉😊 People with the extra melanin have been ignored for a long time in the world of beauty.
Thanking you for your time and expertise. 😍🙏
I used that tea tree toner for a month or two for my acne and realised it was doing more harm than good. Once I read the ingredients and saw denatured alcohol was second on the list I stopped using it immediately. After that I really got into learning which ingredients were good or bad for my skin and am using much better skincare now, mainly The Ordinary.
I love what you are doing. You need to develop a skin care line for skin of colour that we can buy over the counter. Think about it. Congrats and keep the vidoes coming. 😍😍😍
That's so true Janet M. I do agree with your proposal.
The more I do these videos and realise how little there is for us, the more I agree with you x
Thank you so much for being honest, we need TH-camrs who are honest. Not ones who want to lick the feet of great corporations hoping to get sponsored. And not only are you honest but also so knowledgeable. This video is beyond helpful and useful, saved me from going out and buying a bunch of Body Shop facial products to try out. I'm glad they also have a fragrance free line for sensitive skin though, I will probably try out a couple products from that line someday.
Hi dr v. Can you please do a review on “the revolution” skin care products? I am using the niacinimide 10% + zinc but it irritated my skin at first. I’ve been watching your videos religiously thank you for serving us with a wealth of knowledge
I will x
I only just discovered those drops of youth and it was in my cart but I first decided to check youtube for reviews. So glad I did, because I'm not tryna mess up my skin
Please review Some by Mi. Their products have no alcohol, no fragrance and I feel like people out there should know how good they are. Thanks
Yes I want to learn about manufacturing in the Western countries (especially Australia).
Hi Dr V I would like to know about whether makeup can damage our skin and how to use skin of colour safe makeup products ?
So happy to see you getting the attention you deserve-consistently supplying us with the best epidermal knowledge around!
Could you make a video on hyperpigmentation on larger surface such as legs or arm and how to fade them with product recommendations!
Yes x
You know what i learned a lot in this channel about skin care even im a male. However, i feel so bad and really feel upset for those brands keeps on using chemical that completely not good for our skin! Why do they allow that to happened or reproduce. Thanks Doc. V you're completely eye opener.
Thanks Dr V. Love you. There’s no negativity for me when you are going through ingredients list and back to back not so god products. I fact I am happy to know this information.
Thank you Dr V for educating us thanks alot.
I use aloe vera moisturizer 20 yrs now from body shop .it is for sensitive skin & my skin likes it & it's fragrance free this is why I really liked it.but I cannot use any others skin products from body shop or any other products because
my face is sooo sensitive .
Dr V, the brand "The Dermaco" is selling it's products referring that they are prescribed by Dermatologists. Can you please go through those product's ingredients list too?
Please.Thanks and love...
Yes please... It claims to be a dermatologist brand but it also has fragrance in its products.. would love your opinion
I will x
Yes please, I wanted to gift some to my mother. I would love Dr V’s analysis before I buy some.
Dr. V, Thank you so much for another GREAT video.
Also, I'm thrilled to see your subscriber base GROW. I see you are now at 100+k subbies, and growing. I Love it. Congrats! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please do a video on physical sunscreen 🌤️ available in India.
Some products -
La shield Fisico matte sun gel spf 50+ pa +++
Suncros soft matte gel spf 50 pa +++
Earth's rhythm ultra defense mineral sun spf 50
Z screen zinc oxide gel spf 50 pa +++
Yes mom and world kids sunscreen SPF 50 and z block sunscreen with 25% zinc!
I’m so fortunate to find you because you think exactly like me I also want to get rid of plastic especially in our food products and skin care products.
I definitely would never buy products with alcohol witch hazel essential oil’s fragrance and I actually like skin care products that smells like herbs if it is made out of green tea it should smell like green tea or if it’s made out of ginseng it should smell like ginseng and I don’t mind that even if it’s mugwort some people don’t like it but I appreciate the benefits. Exactly we should take care of our mother earth before we have no mother earth to live on. Thank you!
When Dr V finally was happy with one Body shop line .. that feeling !😂 That breath of relief ..I could feel Dr.V 's happiness radiating thru my phone 🤣
Really thankyu for discovering that abt Body shop !
😂....me too! I hate negativity 🙈
Dr. V, than you for all that you do. Well appreciated.
Review on lacto calamine please....
My mom uses it
All pimples dark spots are gone
Is it safe to use?
I am a Cosmetologist and SPA Therapist and I always recommend products with good ingredients and warm my clients about fragrance. Also, As a dark skin Caribbean woman it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a physical sunscreen that does not leave a white cast. I can wait for your skincare line. Thank you for great content, greatly appreciated.💞
I'm on it, I promise☺🙏🏽
Buy it from ebay,lots of sellers offer free shipping for japanese sunscreens. No white cast
what you are doing is really great! you are literally helping us by being this honest and I hope you continue to do that despite the brands being negative about it, because they are the ones that should improve for the positive. Honestly thank you!
Dr @vanita you are an angel 👼! There is just garbage of information out there related to cosmetics and you are creating a revolution dear and we love you for that ! 💗☺️☺️
Hi Dr. Vanitta I am a great fan of your work.Can you please suggest an entire skin care routine for all skin types including the products easily available in India. Specially Suncreens as the ones suggested by you are not available in India.
Dr V, you know what you are amazing. I have got obsessed with your channel and iam so much thankful for your advices. I saw first time your video in end of September 20 and by now I have seen 70% of your videos. You are doing amazing job. May God bless you and give you more health.
Yay!!! Finally you're reviewing The Body Shop. I kinda knew it's going to be hard hit as "fragrance is in the air" with body shop.
12:30 an honest confession and we all stand by this. I've used a few products you've covered today but stopped since I know that fragrance is one of the biggest culprit. No more Body Shop 🙅♀️ except Aloe Vera lol. Thanks for educating us Dr V 🥰
Can you please review Simple skincare?
we are at 100k and going up,... I'm so excited that your channel is growing,... I have learnt so much from you Dr. V and I just wanna take this opportunity to just appreciate you❤
Ma'am , Plz review (The Derma Co) Products....
Specially 1. RETINOL SERUM
for Spotless Skin.
2. 20% Vitamin C Serum.
10% niacinamide serum.too!
The ingredients list is pretty duh! I would suggest invest your money somewhere else?
The Niacinamide serum and aha bha face wash as well
Thank you for your honest review, for your thorough research and for making the science understandable. I’m sure it’s not easy to rate brands and products poorly and I’m sure you are getting heat for it so thank you for doing that for us ❤️❤️
Hello Dr. V. I hope you can review more Physical sunscreens from Korean Brands, may be a video on best physical sunscreens-Kbeauty version. Colorescience as what you have recommended is not available in my country. Thank yoooou ❤️
Yep. I second this.
there are many other tinted mineral sunscreens available such as la rocher posey athelios tinted sunscreen (get the tinted one though - the other physical ones leaves a horrible white caste) and the create hydrating tinted sunscreen- hope this helps sis x
Dr. V thank you for giving us ingredient breakdowns of products from certain brands ! Please review Bioderma products - sensibio line and the AR cream and la roche posay toleriane line. Looking forward to your next video :)
Yes, I would like to know about manufacturing cosmetics
Me too!!
R u south Indian actress Shriya
I have been using drops of youth products including the one menstioned for 2 years now and it really dried my face. You are so right, it really accelerates ageing and you only realise when it is so late. you are so knowledgable. Thanks for enlightening us always. I am so in love with your videos.I like your honest reviews.
I developed contact dermatitis on my lips in my twenties and I could never figure out what caused it. Now that I look back, I think it could have been developed by all those lip products I used to wear with fragrance.
I needed this because I'm changing my skin routine and was considering these!
Pls review Indian brands like plum, dot and key , mama earth pls Dr..
Ya please do. And also for JUICY CHEMISTRY
I will x
Also earth rthytm and Kaya
@@vanitarattan yes please!
If I was to give an analysis for plum- they use fragrance as well as glycolic acid, big NO's for coloured skin.😊
Drops of Youth really good for my dry skin it’s really worked for my fine lines around my mouth chin area 🤔
Could you also review the Aroma magic sunscreen line of products from India.
They are really light on the pocket and claim to be all natural.
Lots of love😊
Yeah.... I would like to hear that
Yes please!
And their other products too. from personal experience I know that they put a lot of essential oils in their products which can cause irritation.
@@geetikachauhan7969 Exactly, that's what I've observed too.
Actually I don't know which essential oils can cause irritation and which are alright.
@@thomasjohnson9793 ive used their mineral scrub or sth and it had like 3 different essential oils, and when i used it on pat-dried skin it gave me red patches all over the face, so wouldn't recommend. Also they mentioned it's preservative free, doesnt make sense to me
Could you please do a video where you tell us which ingredients we should avoid? Because when you say we should avoid fragrance I don’t really know which ingredients are meant. btw I love you and your content ♥️
Hey Dr. V! Could you review the Huda Beauty skincare products? I know many of us here in the middle east would really appreciate ☺️
I love your honesty thank you so much. I used to use the body shop skincare a lot but Because I’ve been using them for a long period of time and I had no knowledge of ingredient lists, my skin got so sensitive.
What Indian products do you recommend for lip care?
Seriusly need this thanku for adding it!💓
Stick with the original Vaseline! No fragrance and very very good at locking in hydration! Or else can try something with Shea butter
@@manasthjain2350 vaseline chaps my lios even more..or anything with petroleum jelly nakes it worse😭
Yes please
Boroline or boroplus
I think Body shop aloe range is good for people with skin of colour and sensitive skin ..... I would definitely recommend aloe range 😊😊👍
It seems like there is alot of things on the market that we cant use. So what kind of face washes and masks that are highstreet price ?
Can you do a video on products we can use.
Definitely x
Thank you so much for sharing! I never really read the label of skincare products I bought, I usually just buy it because of friends reccomendation/some articles reviews about the products but never really educate or mention about ingredients in it. Because of your video I have become more aware about skincare products, I love the way you talk it is clear and easy to understand. God bless
Thank you for being honest! We need more people like you who don’t care what brands think. I came across a new brand that looks promising from what I’ve learned on your channel called Ghost Democracy. Would love a review on it!
I'm usually meh on any masks, but the sheet mask feels so nice and I've never had a reaction. I've tried the toner and it always makes my inner cheeks burn...which sounds like similar den. Alc. products would do the same. I'd consider trying the aloe face wash now too.
Hi Dr Vanita! Can you please review The Earth Rythm - they are aiming to be zero waste , and make decent products ( I think ) 🌺
Yes please!
I will x
Just came across this video looking up research for The Body Shop. So amazing to find an educated POC who knows her stuff!! Thank you so much for this video! I've subscribed!
Yes, we wanna learn about manufacturing!
Im on it😁
Free radicals are “criminals,,....don’t invite them to your party” or should I say, “to my skin”!🤣. You’re funny 💕
😁🙈
Can you review the brand dermaco please!! They have a 10% niacinamide serum which is the only dupe for the ordinary available in India. If it’s approved by you I would love to purchase it
I have heard that it has perfume, so Dr. V would never recommend it. 😄
Yes please do
Hi, I have recently purchased a Niacinamide serum from a brand called Earth Rythym. Just started using it so no reviews yet, but you can have a look at it if you'd like :)
It's not the only dupe lol. Go for earth rhythm. Sugandha one has essential oils so nope.. I've heard only bad things about derma co so...
You are an absolute life saver Dr V, thank you so much for sharing. Love from South Africa🌍
Hopefully after this informative video, all these brands will finally listen and educate themselves on how to produce REAL skincare products!
They did unfortunately this doctor need to do a little more research be cause if this was done five months ago, she would of known herself that the Bodyshop has under gone reformulation acore the whole product board and ranges.
@@lornapitchers3761 Depends on when her video was actually filmed, the release of it was 5 months ago. It's good that they have gone through a reformulation though! Do you happen to know which products were changed? I had a look at their site recently, browsing their creams and noticed a lot of them still contain fragrance in them. Hopefully she'll do a recent video on those products that were reformulated for us! :) Also depends on if she's getting enough requests for it though, not sure if there are a huge amount of people who follow her who use The Body Shop stuff or not.
thank you so much for making this content! this is the channel I've been searching high and low for a youtuber that eplains skincare for POC that is also based in england!!!!
Hello Dr V can you please recommend a good lip balm with an appropriate amount of spf :) thank you so much x love youuu
Omg ! This is one product I use like crazy . soecailly the body washes and the moisturizer...thanks Dr Vanita for reviewing it.
My heart breaks 💔after hearing that their Tea tree facial wash also has those ingredients which aren’t good for skin. I have been using this face wash for many years now & I feel like, have I done a lot of harm to my skin already ?
Please suggest a good face wash for acne prone & pigmented skin.
I have very dry skin and the vit E moisturiser from the body shop works very well for me. Using it since the past 5 years without any signs of damage or irritation on my skin!
Do u still use that moisturiser after watching this videa
Oh yes I do. I still use it.
“We’re not salads”😂😂
What a breath of fresh air, finally someone who dies have business doing a video on beauty products!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Which high street skincare brands would you recommend for SOC? The body shop was one I thought was good but you’ve taught me otherwise. Please give suggestions! ❤️
Honestly its a few products from major high Street companies.
I love it this sheet mask today I used
Is applying aloe-vera directly from plant beneficial or do any harm???
Love your videos and content ❣️❣️
It is fine x
Luckely I found this video bc I want to change my Skincare regimen. Over 10years I used Tea Tree products from the BodyShop and I never know that their are ingredients which are not good for the skin👀But one thing I am greatful for is that it had made my skin clear ✨but still 👆🏾how you said for the beginning everything seems good but than the day comes where it can have an after effect for your skin!! I really thankful for your channel ✨🙏🏾
