Every day I make a special prayer for Dr V because she has helped and guided me so much. I have daughters and by watching her videos I can guide my daughters and above all she has saved me so much money and time. I remember the harsh masks the creams the DIY the scrubbing and all the other things I used to do. Thank god I know now. Thankyou so much Dr V god bless you.

Totally agree. I can say no to the latest fad because I know it truly isn't good for my skin.

Hey Dr V! There’s been a lot of debate on the internet about how to apply soap onto the body. Hands, wash clothes, or loofahs/body puffs. Could you do a video discussing this topic? Also, what would be the best way to exfoliate skin on the body? Chemical or physical exfoliation? Oh. And what are your thoughts about using emollients instead of soap when bathing

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll do a video 🙌🏽🤎

Hey awesome topic I wonder which brands really have good ingredients and which are just marketing hypes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lavayuki]

I remember when I damaged mine, I couldn't even rub my face or have anything touch it. I had to just splash my face with cold water, avoid the shower directly hitting my skin, and I used only SKIN1004 centella ampoule which I did two layers, and two layers of LRP Cicaplast every night. In the day I just splashed my face with water, used the same ampoule and then two layers of the Etude House Soon Jung cica balm, and 2 weeks of that fixed me skin. I also only patted products onto my skin avoiding friction.

[@MissLadee1]

I don't know what to do. I started with a dermatologist (and it's upsetting because she was a Black woman) in December 2021 because I had small whiteheads. Never had really bad acne. She put me on BP face wash at 10%. Never used it before, but why put someone on the highest dosage right out the gate? Told to use twice a day. Destroyed my skin barrier and I was using it for 3 months straight. My skin hasn't been right since

[@yoyoyasis6069]

Hi doctor V I have a burn scar on my face and the pigmentation is slowly clearing up however what affordable product could I use to speed the healing

[@s.s.s6606]

Hi doctor V , I'm a huge fan of yours . I am using products only suggested by you based on your brand reviews . You won't believe i have got clear skin now following ur advice .

[@bettycrenshaw1110]

Hi Dr. V, I love your sunscreen and Hair Range products which I have recommended to several of my family members and friends. Dr. V., I need your advice - does the ingredience in your Hair Range include coconut oil? My scalp does not do well with coco oil or its derivative(s) - my scalp becomes extremely itchy which literally drives me crazy - I discovered this problem long before I started using your product. Again, I love your Hair Range and I want to continue using it, so can you PLEASE, PLEASE advise me as to what to do.

[@Whispers_Of_The_Moon]

Thank you for your informative vidoes, doctor. I wanted to know if we can find your products in Canada. If yes, please let me know where can I find them and what would be best products for me. I have sensitive skin and supremely sensitive eyelids and whole area around eyes. It gets swollen with any active I apply. I developed this condition 1 year ago and it's still not getting better.

[@lola_sand]

Thank you so much for another great video! A small correction coming from an Anthropologist, a lot of brown folks, especially from Central, West, South-West, and South Asian countries, are racially Caucasian. They have brown skin, unlike their northern cousins because of their proximity to the equator. So technically caucasian skin does not only imply white skin.
