[@Shawny424]

Mojitha Mohandas I learned from another KZbinr-the hyperpigmentation clinic, Dr. Vanita Rattan, following layering of The Ordinary products. 1. Vit C, 2. niacinamide, 3. alpha Arbutin, 4. Azelaic acid, 5. Moisturizer. It’s always thinnest to thickest.

[@Mojusweety]

@@Shawny424 Thank you :)

[@bolorunsoadekanmi5540]

Mojitha Mohandas hi I am new to this but I just watched dr V’s videos. Do not use vit c with nicotinamide . Instead the derivative can be used . That is Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. I recommend u go through her videos or simply contact ordinary on their website and they can help you with a good routine depending on the products you wish to use (or your concerns). God bless

[@lydiakay6403]

With Dr Ratan I believe the order she suggested was alpha r butin, niacinamide, Magnesium Ascorbyl phosphate (vitamin C) derivative, Rentinoid followed by azelaic acid and moisturise. Remember to wait at least a few minutes between each layer or at least until each layer feels absorbed. Only incorporate in night time routine and if new to retinoids use between 1-2 times a week in the in initial stages. Always patch test behind ears and introduce products slowly.

Kamela Jameel I have a mustache of hyperpigmentation! I actually have to color correct my upper lip under make up. I’ve been using the alpha Arbutin from the ordinary for 2 weeks straight 2xs a day followed by their lactic acid on my upper lip 30 minutes in between while I cook and eat dinner, and I can see the difference. It took about 2 weeks. At this rate I think it will be gone in 2 months. I cleanse my skin every day 2xs a day and exfoliate 1x week. I feel like I can’t do too many things at the same time because I get overwhelmed and I like to know what is working and what’s not. You can’t do that if using too many products. Right now I’m targeting my upper lip. Once that gets better, then I plan to use the alpha arbutin and lactic acid only M-W-F. And anti-aging products T-Th-Sa.

I'm 31 and ever since I got my period (I don't remember what age) I have suffered from acne and thanks to my love for tanning when I was a teen I have had discoloration and malasma due to sun damage. I never thought my skin would look perfect... For Christmas i got a gift card to Ulta and I decided to get all skin care products to finally take care of my skin, I got the Ordinary's Niacinamide, alpha arbutin, and their moisturizer with HA. The niacinamide made my skin purge for 3 weeks but now I have no breakouts or little bumps at all and the alpha arbutin has cleared up all of the sun spots and damage and helped clear up any scars I had from my battle with acne. My advice with the alpha Arbutin is don't rub it in all the way, I apply it to my face and then pat my skin lightly and let my face absorb the product on its own and I have had such great results by doing it that way. Over all the ordinary is an amazing brand! I've never found products that work so well and for such a small price....

I used to have strawberry legs. I found another youtube who recommended laser hair removal (which I had done through Groupon); did that for 6-9 months and a year later I was good. However I also have very dry skin on my legs as a result of the condition, and that same KZbin’s recommended Dermal Therapy AHA+Urea lotion. Been using that for the last 2 years. My skin has stopped itching and the condition has not returned. My legs are smooth. During the summer months I I use it on damp skin right after I shower. In the winter I layer it with something heavier, like Shea butter. The other youtuber is LA Beautiologist. She’s a woman of color as well.

Hi Dr, thank you so much for this series on hyperpigmentation. I have been diagnosed with scleroderma overlap dermititis 🙉 whatever that means... I have a skin discoloration with hyperpigmentation. My routine is all over the place I think. In the morning I cleanse with Kiehl's clearly corrective exfoliating cleanser, then tone with either fresh rose petals or Caudalie moisturiser toner, then black tea essence from fresh, clearly corrective serum, hydro-plumping serum and SPF moisturiser. Evening : same cleanser, serozinc mist, vitamin C suspension from the ordinary, azaleic acid from the ordinary, then vinoperfect serum, vinoperfect moituriser, then complete with squalane oil from the ordinary... I feel like I am doing too much. Once a week I also use epidermal re-texturing micro dermabrasion from Kiehl's and glycolic peel mask from Caudalie. This is a lot. But only because I didn't see any improvement using the Dermovate prescribed by my dermatologist. Please note that I am based in UK. Can you advise pretty please ? Many thanks. 🌹

Thank you for another great video. I feel like Alpha Arbutin is one of those ingredients people don't really think works but a lot of the time, they expect to see results after just a few uses or at best, by the time they've finished up one bottle (talking about TO's 30ml bottle). It might take 2-3 bottles if used daily/ day and night to see results because it is so gentle but a lot of people I come across on this platform don't necessarily have the patience to see it work. Though, that could be said for a lot of things in skincare...🤷🏾‍♀️

Does anyone know if she did a video about enzymes over acids? I'd really like to learn more about that
