Hello Dr ..Can you please do a video on supplements that could help in clear and healthy skin like vit c with glucosamine, collagen etc. It would be really helpful. Thank you.

[@camillez.7535]

Have you produced a video series on cystic acne scarring? It has become a common problem especially in the peri/post menopausal woman. Thank you.

[@joussecent6]

I’ve been waiting for this one!!! Thank you Dr. V. How do we layer it?

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll do a video

[@loveysoodhoo471]

Tks 4 this video Dr V .Appreciate all this info

[@aletheagnanakan3192]

Dr. V - how often should you be using Azelaic acid? Daily/weekly? I do use Mandelic acid once a week already.

[@manasivranade]

Thanks Dr. V! It's very frustrating that Azelaic Acid products are not available in Canada... :( Can you do a video on moles (til) please? Basing my skin care routine on your recommendations has cleared my skin a lot (thanks again!) but it never made any difference in any of the moles on my face.. Are they different from regular pigmentation?

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll do a video x

[@Hansel783]

There is azelaic acid 15% gel in Canada. It's prescription and its trade name is Finacea.

[@faithlove5850]

[@garythesnail7098]

Thank you for this video! I can't wait for one on peptides and which ones you recommend from India!

[@vanitarattan]

[@shamsunnahar3443]

Does azelaic acid works better for PIH then alpha arbutin, vit c or tranexamic acid?

[@DesiGirlwithcurls]

Plz do a vdo on skincare for early 20s 💞

[@vanitarattan]

Sure

[@DonBennyKachapilly]

While I use azelaic acid is it okay use exfoliators once a week?

[@elleari89]

Absolutely love your channel! ❤️ Is it possible that you do video for beginner skin care routine and the products needed? And how to progress to intermediate then advanced skin care routine? I'm getting overwhelmed. Which products do I buy first and what ones should be added after. THANK YOU 👍

[@vanitarattan]

Absolutely

Hi Arielle, I've seen all the videos in this channel, i'm just starting just like you and this is what i've learned. When i found this channel i was using The body Shop brand (tee tree colection) for my oily/acne prone skin. I realized that all the products had denatured alcohol and a lot of fragrance. As you can imagine my skin was damaged, hipersensitive and did not look good. This are the first steps i followed: STEP 1 - Check all the products you are using right now and make sure they are NAFE-SAFE (No denatured alchool, fragrance or essencial oils). STEP 2 - Stop using the products that aren't Nafe-Safe (it could be most or all of them). STEP 3 - Confirm your skin type (dry, normal, combination or oily) and the main issues you want to solve (rosacea, acne, pigmentation, dehidration, fine lines, acne scars, etc etc) STEP 4 - Before you start any treatment, restore your skin barrier (it is likely to be damaged if you've been using the wrong products). She made a video about that. STEP 5 - Start a new routine with only essential products to restore skin barrier - gentle CLEANSER, MOISTURIZER and SUNSCREEN. Those are the first products you shoud buy. I sugest doing that for at least 2 weeks because your skin barrier needs time to recover. For example: my new essential routine for oily skin is - Cerave Foaming Cleanser -> Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream -> Avène Sunscreen Cleanance SPF50. My skin already looks good and i'm not using any actives or seruns yet. STEP 6 - After your skin is restored you can add toner, exfoliation, seruns and actives - in this order. Add only one product each time. Note: If you have several skin conditions including inflamation (acne, dermatitis, etc) treat the inflamation first. For example: my main conditions are acne, hiperpigmentation and fine lines aroud the eyes. I will add toner, seruns and actives in this order - first to clear acne, then hiperpigmentation and last the lines around the eyes. Note 2 - some ingredients solve multiple issues at the same time like Niacinamide and antioxidants. So you can start adding products that contain these ingredents first. I hope this helps.

Hi Dr. Thank you for today's video. One question - I'm 26 year old, have oily acne prone skin, treating my skin for acne marks and acne that appears on and off. I have recently considered to start a skincare routine, after learning a lot from your videos. :) I started with a 2% Salicylic acid cleanser and wanted to know which serum I should try first Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid or Tranexamic. Please advice. Thank you. :)

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll do a video x

[@EdinaFerrao]

@@vanitarattan Thank you! Could you also make a video on home DIY's and Indian organic products that are good for skin and hair care?

[@Lonerwolftype]

Hello Dr V! Can you do an "Only essentials" products video for anti ageing routine. Because I have heard many dermatologists say "Less is more for skin care" and some of us can not afford to buy a lot of products also. Can you show us what products are must haves and what products can be ignored? Thank you!

[@vanitarattan]

Sure

[@he_knows4962]

Ahhh hey again Doc! Just curious, but will we get to hear your thoughts on the new mineral sunscreens (tinted and non-tinted) launched by Aveene? Otherwise, I think alot of us would like to hear your recommendations for tinted SPFs suitable for deeper skin tones (sensitive, acneprone etc) that we can wear this summer :D Anyway, thanks again for all that you do, we adore you for it!:)

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll review

[@ellep358]

Pregnancy Hyperpigmentation skin routine please Dr. Rattan, When I was pregnant with my first i had so much red marks and hyperpigmentation on my skin, I didn't know what products I could still use while pregnant and breastfeeding

[@rbp3503]

I’m confused, only last week in your facetheory vid you said “you’re not a fan” of the facetheory azelaic acid as they added rose extract 🤷🏽‍♀️ so which is it?

[@ayesh9780]

Hey! Can you tell me in which video did she say that? Because I haven’t seen it.. i dont want to risk it

[@rbp3503]

Just type in Dr rattan facetheory in KZbin. It was a one brand review

[@aleciabent2616]

They have unscented versions of everything I believe

[@rbp3503]

@@aleciabent2616 only one version of this though as far as I could see. It was called something else beginning with A now they call it lumizela. Clearly says it’s same formula.🤷🏽‍♀️

WHEN CAN WE GET A SKINCARE FOR MEN!!

[@bubblebubble50]

Thank you for the informative video! I’ve got a question. I’ve used Finacea (Azelaic acid 15%) for over 6 months now and yet no improvement so far though. Maybe I should switch to Skinoren (Azelaic acid 20%) then?

[@geethikaamarasinghe2590]

Thanks for your excellent service. Please do a video on mandelic acid and recommend moisturizers for the body.

[@MrsLal446]

Hello dr V, will you please some suitable BB or CC cream for oily acne prone skin.? Thanks ❤️

[@vanitarattan]

Sure x

[@lashaedoby5362]

Can I used the ordinary azelaic acid with the JJLabs skin brightening and anti aging with tranexamic acid together day and night? Both products you have given a thumbs up for!

[@gopikamadhav7375]

Thank you Dr. V for your videos! :) Would you recommend the Vaunt Vitamin C Water for SOC? Could you recommend some other vitamin C serums available in India? Face Theory and The Ordinary are hard to come by here.

[@vanitarattan]

I’ll review
