Hi Dr. V, as someone that works with special needs individuals and you sharing that you are dyslexic, I can understand the hardwork you must have put in to be where you are now! Your work is really commendable and I really appreciate it, keep going! 😊👍🏻

[@vanitarattan]

🤎🙌🏽

[@smrititikoo]

In India if you are dyslexic you end up doing arts but in Uk you can become a doctor and a cosmetic formulator . The difference is in the mindset of educationists in here and Uk and until that changes the onus of staying progressive and aware will lie on ourselves solely across any area .

[@AngelaCelesteMay]

@@smrititikoo I completely understand what you're trying to say and I agree that it is not okay to limit people based on things like dyslexia. However, having said that, as someone who is both a degreed professional musician and music educator, as well as a PhD in clinical, organizational, and forensic psychology, I have to stand up for the Arts. If people in India better understood the brilliance, brainpower, and years of hard work that is required in order to accomplish an artistic career it would not be seen as something that a person ends up in, but rather an accomplishment as in any other area of pursuit. It sounds like there's more growth that needs to occur regarding this issue as well. Peace.

I am an INCI hacker. Just yesterday I told a loved one to return an item prescribed by a Dermatologist for someone with a chronic skin condition. It had fragrances, linalool, limonene, cinnamal etc. She concurred😍 On the other hand I decided to break the rule and got myself a Lactic acid cream with parfum, orange and lemon extract. I have been doing great up until now, I broke out all over my body as if that was not enough I’m also nursing infection as a result. Thank you so much Dr, when I started to watch your videos, I used to take notes. Now I watch loads of videos from other without taking notes & know exactly what they are on about.😘

[@natalielloyd9200]

I've just been giving myself a headache in Tesco reading the back of 1,0000 products so THANK YOU for this vid!!! I literally want to hug you Dr V!

[@vanitarattan]

[@JustJaseson]

Doctor V, I’m a new subscriber from 🇨🇦!! You’ve created such an amazing space for people to gather and listen to educational advice, its rare in a would of influencers. I know every time I come here I know I get trusted advice and recommendations especially as a male of colour to your channel . This video was so enlightening as I tend to buy almost all my products from the 🇺🇸 .. such an 👁 opener to see how different regions work. Please continue to school us 📚 💜

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Dr V when I developed rosacea a few years ago I had no choice but to learn the terminology used in the INCI lists. I have such reactive skin and spending the time doing so has saved me from many expensive mistakes. it's not fool proof, as formulation is also important - some products despite a decent INCI list still sting/burn/irritate. Patch testing is also highly underrated. I have a 3 day patch testing process - 1st day testing on arm (eczema prone body skin), 2nd day behind the ear and the 3rd day a small dab at side of nose. If after all that there is no sign of issue I will apply to the whole face. I firmly believe a lot of skin issues can be avoided, if patch testing is done for any new product. It seems woefully rarely talked about on social media - whereas instant gratification and applying multiple new products at once prevails. For those with sensitive skin it is essential I believe to patch test. My process may be more than others need, but at least one patch test should be the norm. Focussing on how important this is in this type of platform, may prevent some issues for viewers. Just a thought. Best wishes.

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll do a video

[@kailashpatolia3147]

Can you make a dictionary of good and bad ingredients list for skin of color with their definition. I think this would be awesome bcuz it will break down what’s good and how to combine if needed. Please 🙏🏻

I'm binge watching your poc skincare with all my products layered out for the big ingredient examination (puts dramatic sound). The worst enemy was my third used 'oil control' toner. It has alcohol, witch hazel and fragrance - I'm terrified ok. I initially paused using it to observe the cause of my minor breakout. Well, I've come to the conclusion that majority of my skincare was the problem. Thank you, from South Africa.
