Hi Dr V Thank you so much for the video. Could you please do a review about phor essentials kojic and Turmeric patches?

[@anitawallace2166]

30 minute video. The first 20 minutes recommend other products.

[@Sassy_Savage_Ruthless]

@vanitarattan you should cover more Korean and Japanese products since most ppl these days are gravitating towards them.

[@unisbangura8038]

Dr V is so damn sexy

[@XclusivewithLayemi]

​@@anitawallace2166love her for that

[@Jazelle-i3k]

I used to use all products by Biologique Recherche and MBR and have seen little and slow improvement in my skin (anti-aging, texture, discoloration, puffy under eyes) and have spent so much money on these brands. Then, I stopped listening to estheticians who sell these expensive brands and started listening and watching Dr. V and bought her products, and wow! My skin is so soft and clear and I clearly see anti-aging after 3 weeks of using her Daily Range. The price of the Daily Range + her SPF is less than a jar of Biologique Recherche moisturizer. Please stop buying super expensive products and listen to an actual skin expert who recommends great products and ingredients and save you lots of money. I also now use Paula’s Choice Vit C and The Ordinary Peptides, and Inkey List Salicylic wash as needed…all recommended by Dr. V. Yes, she promotes her products but she also recommends other brands that are simply the best for our skin.

[@Gigi-fk1wt]

hi!! I work at sephora and tell every person of color about your channel ❤ youre the besttt

[@vanitarattan]

Aww you are too kind. I'm finally going to approach Sephora UK- Do you know who the current senior buyer is?

[@jona-roy2426]

Oh my goodness, I do the same but I don't work at Sephora. But I tell all my Indigenous Native Americans Family & Friends. Dr. V your products have done wonders for me. I love them all. 😁👍🥰

[@rohkr]

@@jona-roy2426me too. All the sindhi Indias that are following your page have surely heard about you from me.

[@hannamellesse5771]

​@@vanitarattani wish you talk about azelec acid. I am breastfeeding and looking for the right product.

[@JamalCeder]

The old Dr. Vanita is back, and I love it!

[@Luciana_TK]

I felt like Remedy for Dark Spots was missing... I find it an amazing product!

[@lavayuki]

I have only used korean and japanese ones, not used most of these western ones other than the Dr V range of course, and the ordinary arbutin, clinique, eucerin and Faded. The Ordinary arbutin and Faded were completely useless, used both for like over 2 years and they did absolutely nothing at all.... The clinique and eucerin ones were ok, but I only used them for a few weeks so didn't see any results as suc For PIH, I love the Numbuzin 5+ serum which I purchased many times, the sheet masks, toner and toner pads, the Anua TXA, Haru Haru tranexamic acid serum, and the Torriden Cellmazing ampoule and Celimax dark spot serums. The Dr V hyperpigmentation kit is the best for sure though, it always works so well, and also the PM acne gel moisturiser. From Japanese beauty I liked the Melano CC Premium serum.

[@nickimontie]

Im using the Numbuzin and Anua products you are using, plus Axis-Y Dark Spot corrector and Mary & May Tranexamic cream serum. I've been happy with that combo.

[@skrefurbishedinteriors]

I was about to buy faded lol

[@EBoone503]

Awesome info. It's so funny because you never hype up your line enough in these videos! I've been a Caudalie user for almost 3 years and recently I've started to wonder if the serum is really doing much anymore and you just answered that for me. I'm going to just get your line of items..... no need to flounder about anymore. Thanks!

*"Beauty is not just about makeup, but the confidence and energy we carry within. While makeup can enhance our features, true beauty shines from a peaceful and kind heart. Spiritual practices like gratitude and self-care remind us to embrace our natural selves, nurturing both inner and outer beauty. It’s about feeling good from the inside and letting that light shine through!"*May all of us be guided in real path and happy in both life.Amin❤😊*

[@creativequeen8371]

Absolutely love this. Ameen 🙏🏾🤎

[@sslee3373]

This seemed to be about appropriate skincare for specific skin type. I did not see any makeup???

[@tsahaibenoit6761]

I loveee your products, and even more your transparency on your ingredients. Thank you for all your efforts and giving our skin of color what it deserves. 🥰

[@vanitarattan]

Aww thankyou 🙏🏽💓

[@Nikita-ox5si]

Omg! So excited for the pregnancy range!! I've not had the chance to use the night serum in the acne range so finally i can work on my marks while trying to conceive.

[@minaniang1565]

I understand niacinamide is a star ingredient but it's everywhere nowadays.Some people like me are just sensitive to it unfortunately, would love this series with niacinamide free products including yours!Thank you for educating us though

[@nishusingh-afari8283]

Dr V can you please review Dr. Shah Remedy? I used his dark spot cream and dark spots were literally gone in 3 months. Amazing products 😊

[@cadasare9333]

Love your products Dr V. I hope the concealer will come in shades suitable for African skin tones as well . X

[@MyCrownstar]

I’m excited and would be so disappointed if she didn’t, considering she focuses on skin of color.

[@vanitarattan]

It will cover us all xx

[@viciousonev4697]

Of course and will! Who do you think she is.... Dr.V of course

[@kameesha1807]

Great advice Dr V, thanks also for giving us that update on the EU law about the 0.3% retinol in formulations. I don't think we as the consumers know about these laws

[@vanitarattan]

💓💓

[@yazzyc5967]

@vanitarattan Dr. V, off topic...but could you please do a video on laser treatment for facial hair removal on women of color? Thank you!

Here are the actual nafe safe dark marks serums that work (not reviewed by Dr. V but she will love these) 1. Level serum by Regimen Labs 2. Paula's choice 25% Vitamin C 3. Theramid intensive Vitamin C 4. Cosrx alpha arbutin 2 discoloration serum 5. Remedy dark spot serum 6. Geek and gorgeous Retinal 7. The ordinary THD with Vitamin F

[@creativequeen8371]

Thank you 👌🏾

[@lisasprovidence4572]

Contemplated purchasing the Paula's Choice 25% Vit C but if memory serves me correct there might be essential oils/ fragrance in this product?? Do you know??

[@Peace4Love4Smile]

​@@lisasprovidence4572 if you're talking about vitamin C + glutathione serum, it doesn't have fragrance, Dr. V actually reviewed it recently for Vitamin C. If you're still doubtful, incidecoder website is everyone's best friend or at least mine, I used it so many times (tells you if it's nafe safe, all the details about what the ingredient is, etc)

[@enchantedhunter4757]

Cosrx one has alcohol. Dr v wouldn't recommend that at all

[@chantibergwerff4251]

​​@@lisasprovidence4572paula's choice is a nafe safe brand.

[@explorationofbeauty6406]

Please correct. Not sure where you’re seeing the good molecules as 47 dollars. I use it and it’s actually 12US and quite affordable.

[@danielleharley-laws1785]

Would be really great if we had more people reviewing your products, as in on you tube or tictok /instagram, I have had very stubborn hyperpigmentation for over a decade, I have tired every product and routine you have e suggested and nothing has worked before I buy your products I want to see how it works on stubborn hyperpigmentation before I fork bout hundreds of pounds again, or would you suggest trying to get an appointment at your clinic 😢tried before but there was no spaces, I am stuck I don’t know what to do next, what are your suggestions should I take the leap and buy your products?, thanks for all the videos that are very informative ❤

[@lisasprovidence4572]

Dr. V please, please create a line of products WITHOUT NIACINAMIDE (or at least an alternative) for those of us who are allergic. Thanks!!

[@vanaty6]

Hey Dr. V I love your videos, they have taught me so much and so I was wondering if you can come out with a routine video for pregnant mom’s out there that have combination acne prone skin since I know there are some products and chemicals that cannot be used while pregnant. This would be great and educational for the pregnant moms out there with acne skin.❤

I would like to challenge you to make a medical grade skincare line for us professionals, I would definately use and retail it, Also. can you please review the skincare line Lira for soc? Thank you :)

[@nyameyen.4060]

Thank you, Dr. Vanita for your usual excellent information on skincare for skin of color❤. In the future, can you kindly review the Qure Skincare Micro-Infusion System designed as an at-home microneedling device that combines tiny needles with skincare infusion. Does it reduce wrinkles since quite pricey? Is it good for skin or color?

[@G_17.]

I would love her to review the minimalist versions

[@viciousonev4697]

Yes do the whole Good Molecules brand Please. I actually have their discoloration serum. It's okay it worked some. When I say somewhat I mean if you are looking for quick results then this is not it. But as we know some products can take up to 6 months to show results.

[@MinyGlow]

Please do a review of Allies of Skin & Dr Bowe Beauty

[@MizLadii]

[@naddyj5703]

Thank you for this video! I'm now over 40 and have hormonal breakouts but over the months I'm noticing my skin around jawline has dark spots i was using Cerave you featured which I'm binning, I also tried La Roche posay MelaB which was just too pricey for using twice a day. Ive now been given duac which I use with barrier cream til my flare up settles and have developed a granuloma which has developed a huge dark spot luckily I can work my magic with make up but just depressing to see when skin in bare.

Dr V. Your exfoliating serum is so good. Literally I use to once and it makes a difference tbh. I love it. And I’m just waiting for buy your retinol cream once I’m a little bit older. Dr V, if possible, could you please do a review of BeBodywise and ChemistatPlay products for the India SOC family. I’m sorry if it’s wrong of me to ask seeing as you have your own product line. But until I’m a little more advanced and can afford the full range of your products, I’m filling the gaps with products within my budget at the moment and would love your opinion and guidance on those brands.
