@@DrAlexisStephens Hi Dr. Stephens!! I just came across your channel! I am so excited to see your hyperpigmentation series! Paula’s Choice just launched a Tranexamic acid discoloration repair serum today!! Could you please let me know if you think this is a product worth trying?!

I’m so happy to see a black dermatologist on TH-cam, I’ve been waiting for this moment. You’ve quickly become one of my favs right along with Dr. Dray, thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain the science and democratize dermatology!
@Ads ... I am black but don’t like when people mentioned the colour. I am happy too, but no need to put it out there loud. You know she has subscribers of all races.
@@isobel64 ... What happen to freedom of speech misses Don Trump? We leave in Democratic world where everyone is entitled their own opinion. Maybe you should be working with Mr Trump🙄
I'm a molecular geneticist (not working in biomedicine) and I love seeing these pathways because I can google them and work everything out by myself. You're a fantastic resource for a biologist like myself who knows how to do science and consume scientific literature, and is also fascinated with skincare!
You have a GIFT for educating. Thank you for also utilizing your cosmetic chemistry knowledge to inform us that it goes beyond the ingredient...formulation matters! As a pharmacist, I nerd out on pharmacokinetics (hehe), so this was a pleasure to watch. Another request: please do a video on underarm hyperpigmentation and corrective measures. I imagine that with it being an intertriginous zone, it can pose a challenge to treatment. Thank you!
So glad your doing these videos. I was your patient and I found our sessions super informative! This is so your lane and I'm happy that you're taking advantage of this platform. Yay!
First off, the way your skin glows in this video is encouraging to me as I’m on my skin care journey. I watched your video on melasma/hyperpigmentation and have developed my skin care routine based on your recommendations - (including cyspera) I’m only 2 weeks in and hope my skin can be half as glowy as yours in 14 weeks - I had a super bad case of melasma with back to back pregnancies. Wish me luck!
Hi can u please share your routine, I have bought so many things looking at diff vedios but now at a loss ... I have all Ordinery products for pigmentation alpha arbutin, retinol, azalic acid, 0.2 retinol, niacinaminde and now incky tranx.... but no clue how to layer them ... please help 🙏🏼
I went to see my derm and she just prescribed this for me. I knew she was the one because I already had heard you talk about this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Because of you I finally decided to go back and find a good derm near me. I’m so glad I did.
Wow, I actually just ran across your video because I am going to be starting Tranexamic Acid orally for one of the conditions that you mentioned. I also struggle with hyperpigmentation issues, so helping to even out my skin tone would be an awesome consolation for having to swallow 6 of these huge pills per day! 😊
I am pretty new to your channel. I found you about you a week ago. I am 61 and have been suffering from hyperpigmentation which sucks because I never even had acne in my life., I was surprised that women of color had to use some different solutions. I am so happy to find you. Thank you for sharing.
YOUR SKIN IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, THANK U SO VERY MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION. U ARE VERY INTELLIGENT AND EDUCATED ON THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN ISSUES, IT IS A BLESSING 2 HAVE SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS OUR ISSUES AND SKIN 2 ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND SERVICE 2 THE COMMUNITY, U ARE TRULY A BLESSING😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🙏🏼🤗😀🥰😉🤩😀
Would you mind doing a video about different routines. Like a routine for someone fighting both acne and hyperpigmentation. How would they layer actives and when would they use each one ( AM or PM) for maximum efficacy and minimal irritation?
@@Rea13434O I've watched that video already. It doesn't really talk about a specific routine, more so things that are good to use and things that re good to avoid. Thank you though 🤗
Honestly check out Dr. Berg, his advice (B5 [250mg], cod liver oil, zinc supplements) is the only thing that cleared my acne other than accutane. Find a good derm and treat the acne 1st, then deal with the hyperpigmentation. Other than accutane, minocyclin, retin a and benzaclin work well. There are many acne routines by dermatologists on here also Brianna Stanko has good acne product videos. To deal with acne & hyperpigmentation I use Lytera, Skinceticals Phyto+, Osmosis AC Catalyst DNA Serum (Vit C) and Tazorac 0.1%. Gonna try Anteage Brightener next.
same. I use it at night but dont really wash my face in the morning so would love to know if it is ok to use tranxemic acid at night and not wash it off in the morning
@@Anewuser_6282 "Dr" Berg is not even a physician. He has no education no practical experience on medecine and has never seen any patients. It's actually scary how he addressed so many aspects of medecine that an actual experienced Physician would never do because they know better than to advice in mass on things they have no expertise on whatsoever.
I feel like I'm back in school! Had to pull out my notepad. You are such an amazing teacher! Love your educational informative evidence-based approach, appreciate you so much Dr. Alexis!
Hey, Dr. Stephens! After the hyper-pigmentation series, could you do a series on acne? And a video or series on common scalp issues, (seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, oily/itchy scalp, etc.)? Your videos are sooo helpful.
Great science based video. I have severely textured skin. I am trying to figure out what can help with my skin texture in addition to my hyperpigmentation
Dr. Stephens please continue with this excellence ! I am so very grateful for the knowledge that you are disseminating to us all - your generosity of spirit makes you even more of a Queen! You are so gorgeous ! I STAN a black, scientist queen !
Hey love ur channel, can you make a video layering the products on skin or how to layer these products on skin or how and when to add it into your routine, like video of your day and night routine
not gonna lie i was expecting some bullshit gimmicky talk entering this video but when i saw you got straight to the point with scientific terms i instantly subbed. respect
This is super helpful! Looking forward to you breaking down other ingredients in the hyperpigmentation series. It would be helpful to know if there are certain ingredients that don’t play well with each other and shouldn’t be used in the same routine and the order we should use them.
I have just discovered this channel today and I cannot stop watching. All great and very informative video, made by a real Derma doctor who's also a great educator! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
These videos are super informative, but I always leave confused and overwhelmed…a shopping cart at the end and a sample routine at the beginning and end of the video would be super helpful or if you could organize the video captions in terms of a shopping list and sample routine.
Good informative video, but I am the lucky one 42yo and have no pigmentations on my face. Just found this video through scrolling and I liked it. Thank you!
Excellent video. I am so grateful that I found your channel. I wanted to build a skin care regiment for my hyperpigmentation but I couldn't find anyone who know dark skin until I found you. Now I can do it with confidence and know it will work. ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for your amazing videos and your knowledge on hyperpigmentation! I wish I knew all this before I turned 50 🤪 My daughter is almost 13 and your videos on cleansing etc is great to teach her at this stage itself. Also can you make videos for preteens as to dos and fonts as they are so self conscious and may make what is nothing worse than it is. Tips on how tos and what not to worry about etc. thank you 🙏
Thank you for taking us to Skin school Dr Alexis. In addition to this please do a video on Mineral Sunscreens with no fragrance that will not leave leave me Purple and a exfoliant for dry patterned skin.
I love how you broke down the most effective type of product to use and buy. Can you make a video about vitamin c serums because this product really Ramses in price and efficacy.
Dr. Stephens, the JJ lab serum is 🤩 awesome. It goes on like magic, absorbs quickly and light on the skin. Thank for the recommendation. I had to come back to leave this comment.
IsNTree's onion line has a toner and cream with red onion extract, sodium ascorbyl, and tranexamic acid! They're very affordable too. Just subscribed :)
You are my new FAV Dermatologist for sure. I love seeing the growth of your channel and I know your channel is going to be huge. I love tranexamic acid! It’s in my Curology prescription and I have been enjoying a serum called tranX for my mild age spots. Recommended by PennSmith...affordable and includes Kojic Acid as well as other pigment fighters). Off topic question...what do you think of at home microdermabrasion? Not for pigmentation, but to keep milia at bay?
My dermatologist had me take it for about 6 months it definitely cleared up my skin, now I use the JJ Labs & compounded with retin- a & niacinamide through curology.
Hii Dr. Alexis! I was curious as to how the Naturium Tranexamic Acid would compare to the others suggested in this video?? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!🤗💕
So happy to see new videos from you Dr Alexis. I started using Azelaic Acid and I am so satisfied. I am giving Tranexamic Acid a try next time. Thank you so much. Cheers from the Philippines!
The Naturium Multi-Bright Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5% ($22) seems to be a good emulsion. My first bottle is still on the way but the reviews are really good so I'm excited.
@nathangendler it actually worked well for me BUT the color does show on me (light olive skin tone) so I can only use it at night. I had trouble working it into my routine so I had to use less other products, which is fine.
I am loving your videos for black skin. I have been using Dearskin Tranex Dear Serum 5%. I don't use it as much since I discovered copper peptides. Would you do a video on growth factor serums (Anteage, Bradceuticals, etc) and copper peptides (DECIEM, Dr. Pickart, etc)? Thank you !!
Thanks a bunch Dr. The video is comprehensive and educative. What other skin products is advisable to add with tranexamic acid for hyperpigmentation pls. My hyperpigmentation has been with me since about 4yrs now, it will go and come back. Please I need to have my confidence back with ur help. Thank you.
Hi Dr. Alexis, thanks so much for this wonderful information. This video is what I need. I am wondering, do I still need to buy Vit C separately if am using any of the brighteners? Thanks again.
Hey, I love your videos! There are so few dermatologists specialising in skin of colour, it's so refreshing to see and you're such an inspiration (I'm in med school myself). I was wondering about the ingredient Thiamidol in Eucerin's anti pigment range. Also a review of their anti-pigment spf 50 sunscreen which (I think) is chemical not physical but designed especially for those with hyperpigmentation. I've been using their products and I think they're okay but would love your expert opinion. Thank you so much for producing amazing content!
You are my favorite dermatologist. Do you do online consultations as I am not in Florida. Also I have subscribed to Curology and one of the ingredients in my formula was this Tranexamic acid which is really helping my skin.
This was very useful thank you 🙏 I love to find a source of information for skin of colour. I have olive skin tone and have been dealing with melasma and hyperpigmentation for many years. I hope you keep doing more videos. How can I add this ingredient in my routine? I am using The Ordinary 8% Vitamin C + Alpha Arbutin 2% from the ordinary, moisturizer with hyalorunic acid in the morning and sunscreen. At night I use niacinamide and retinol prescription. I also would like to incorporate Bakuchiol for anti-aging properties. I have melasma and hyperpigmentation.
Your videos are so helpful and informative! I saw your other video that azeleic acid is safe for pregnant / nursing mamas. I've been using Paula's choice 10% niacinamide followed by 10% azelaic acid at night for a few weeks but havent noticed any difference in my pregnancy mask. Maybe I'll up to morning / night since my skin can tolerate. Is this one as well?
Love your videos! Wow this is hard to choose what to incorporate to for hyperpigmentation! So many good ingredients! So from azelaic acid, vitamin c, Arbutin and this. I’m currently using vitamin c, azelaic acid and planning to incorporate arbutin. How would you recommend to do this?
Ok, you're officially my favourite dermatologist. I love the way you teach. Thanks for this video, really helpful.
Thank you so much. That's so kind of you. Thanks for your support❤️
Absolutely Positively Agreed Buying This Acid Right Now
