Kind request to talk about Aqualogica from india! Sending love from India 🤎

[@dogness60]

Dr Vanita could you do a video on makeup removers

[@mishacharles7634]

Dr V can you do a review on JoY products

[@SoulArtistLa]

Having inconsistencies in the written documentation always makes me shy away from products and businesses in general. It makes me feel something sloppy or dishonest is happening and I just don’t feel confident using them. Thanks for doing this and thanks for being you. 🎉

[@lekhasrivastva2464]

Tbh, didn't expect Dot & Key to do well at all. They don't list down ingredients for a lot of their products and when mentioned there's often discrepancy compared to the INCI list as you mentioned. One brand that I would like you to review would be pilgrim. In particular, their lip peel that has been marketed tremendously this year.

[@hudakhatib273]

I completely agree with you. they have some misleading inkey vs info provided in the product description. also, there are many ingredients like fragrance or old gen sunscreen filters like omc still being used in their sunscreen. the only product I love from their entire range is cica oil free moisturiser. @vanitarattan kindly plz do the same kind of investigation on the brand pilgrim and Foxtale

[@Sheenmariamanuel]

Can you explain what's inci list and where can we find it?

[@anittas224]

I've seen fake reviews on Flipkart of their mask. Pilgrim is also a shady brand

[@kirandaryanani6111]

i dont know about lip peel but the retinol cream is amazing and have been using for month does clear the skin and works well

[@rinidasguptaganguly4118]

I only use ceramide fragrance free moisturizer, nothing else

[@namratas3685]

This video was posted 9 days ago, and I suddenly see a lot of comments from people saying how much they love the brand and its products, and MOST of these comments are being posted since yesterday. I find this quite suspicious 🤨

[@THANKAMKUMARAN]

Your service for educating people here is going to save them from destroying their skin which affects their mental health deeply. The trend in the world to try so many products online is actually such a wasteful habit for the pocket and the environment. I wish skincare formulators stick to basics and be wise. The knowledge you are sharing is going to empower women and men to make wiser choices. So thank you for doing this Seva. If anyone is reading this comment know that skin is your largest organ treat it with kindness, we tend to overwhelm ourselves in the name of beauty and looking young and end up doing just the opposite.Thank you once again.

[@Nemisha17]

I second this comment. There's too much consumerism and marketing going on that people buy things they don't need

[@dilsharakoralage3700]

The amount of influencers who rave about this brand, super disappointing !!!

[@pdc99]

Exactly my thought! 🙄

[@abigail9457]

Ikkrrrr!!!!!

[@disha4613]

I love this brand I have used like more then 10 different product of this brand n my skin is sensitive it suited me well... Personally I don't like the serum of this brand as I saw ingredients before buying I didn't find it that good... I just only bought cica salicylic acid serum it was good.... The product I have tried so far is All facewash of this brand The two fragrance free ( blue and green one ) moisturizer Cica and that hydro gel moisturizer or mask Matcha green face pack... Sunscreen cica and watermelon one

[@anamikakhan593]

This is exactly why I don't rely on these influencers for suggestions. I'd much rather wait for a doctor or dermatologist to suggest it

[@sonalimenon5956]

Hi Dr. V, it is a blessing to have you as an educator. Can you please make a video about eye cream and which one is the best available

[@veerendrac5658]

One of the best things I have done is to follow you since pandamic. I am always feeling safe following you ❤🎉 heart felt thanks 🙏🏻

[@muskanhamid5828]

[@priyapradhan2327]

Finally!!!!! Thank you soooo much. I really needed this video as I have been using the Barrier face wash and the cream for quite some time now. So again a hearty thank you!!!

[@laburnumtop9409]

I usually don't comment and KZbin videos But DOT and KEY has just changed my skin for good, as someone who has a sensitive skin and acne my skin would breakout everytime I'd change my moisturizer but after switching to Dot and key it has been different for me it doesn't cause any Breakouts nor acne I have used their Vitamin C and Cica range The Cica range has legit helped me with my acne, been using it over a month and acne has already disappeared.

[@anshikachaudhary73]

Dot ND key suits my skin...especially the blue range...so I'll continue buying it...because I believe there is nothing which is chemical free...

[@komalsingh-dd3vq]

Thank you so much for these videos. Please do cover more Indian products, weekly one video for Indian customers will be so helpful. This will really help us as we have so limited choice. In the times of paid influencer, people like you are so rare.

[@SinhaM07]

Barrier repair cream is an absolute favorite for me. It so easy and nice to my extreme dry skin.

[@shrutikhowala4930]

I absolutely love the barrier repair combo of dot & key! It just suits my skin so well. Have been using this for soo long!!

[@getreal1052]

Yes... That's right

[@avinaSolanki]

I don't wanna go against u seriously but as Dr v said before ....some ingredients in the products soothes the skin for a short time period....in the long run skin identifies them as allergens and in the mean time ingredients which you are not allergic will also turn to allergens !

[@user-xg7qo4kt7y]

You are a blessing dear Doctor! Huge respect for the work you are doing ❤ I have a question.... Please give some tips for blue light protection....cuz we are on our laptop and iPads so much.... and sometimes we use mobile for chatting with friends till 4 am!

Hey doctor V! I have recently purchased your trio blemish PM gel moisturiser. It seems to contain salicylic acid. May I know if applying it everyday will cause some issue? Also, can I use it in conjunction with aha+bha clay mask twice a week? Thanks a lot ❤

Hellooo! Ive got acne prone dry af sensitive skin but the cersmide moisturizer has helpd me a lot! Been using it since a few months now! It has really been a skin saver!

[@FrozoneD-so2mi]

Hi Dr. V. I recently just watched your old video about the Bio-oil, which contains a lot of fragrance. Since then they have made a new one called Bio-oil Natural. Whats your stance on the natural version of the Bio-oil? Is it good to use for skin of colour?

It's really amazing how candid and amazing you are with the reviews! Could you also review foxtail, Aqualogica etc

[@ProMontreal]

Good afternoon dr v. I have a question regarding black yeah. So I use the ordinary’s squealing cleanser in addition to their azelaic acid for my skin - which I’ve noticed has decreased by breakout significantly. But my main issue is that after 5 minutes of cleansing my blackheads return - how is this possible when I literally cleans my face 5 minutes ago? Also, any suggestions for this solution? Thanks and have a great Sunday

[@Yolobolocolo]

omgggg there are so many brands we need you to review in India because India is seeing a huge increase in number of new homegrown brands and they claim a lot of things … but do they really deliver?

[@tarinisuri2782]

Hi, Dr Vanita, I have been getting white bumps and using actives and a salicylic acid cleanser from Cosrx as well to help and it’s working very well. I love my moisturiser the ordinary natural hydrating + ha and it works so well. But it’s only 30 ml for a lil higher price side, will the ceramide barrier repair cream be a good cheaper substitute. Or if you have any suggestions? Love the content, stick by it before I buy anything!

[@shresthamajumder5825]

Which retinol is better, the ordinary 0.5% in squalane or be minimalist 0.3% face serum with coenzymes or their 0.6% anti aging mid strength formula?

[@roxanned67]

I have a question ... so obagi isn't good but ... can you prepare for or reverse the darkening affect? My skin has gone worse since using it. But feel its the only thing I may be able to use to fix the current state of my skin

[@MatMat-qi2rd]

One question: if I apply a sunscreen that's a little too on the shiny side, can I very gently tap with a towel or tissue? (I don't use powder).Thankyou 😊

[@harshithagummadi2422]

Hi doc is benzophenone 3 alright to be used in sunscreen if i wish to use chemical sunscreen

[@riya_rupsa]

Thankyou for existing

[@devi_47]

doctor v please reply to my query if you see this ❤ I have oily skin and these days my dermatologist told me to use Ahaglow S Foaming Face Wash(it has salicylic acid and glycolic acid) but a bit dry in winters so how can I use salicylic acid in my routine, I have pretty bad acne scars all over my face and I have so many blackhead and whiteheads nothing seems to be working for me honestly even after using the creams my dr told me also can I use vit c serum after the facewash? I don't because I read it's not good but my dermatologist has asked me to use vit c serum

[@alwaysright8554]

How do i recognise essential oils in the inci list? And do i need to avoid swimming since no spf is actually waterproof?

[@riyadeoli9610]

Is retinol infused moisturiser with 1% in a pump bottle better than a retinol serum or a tretenoin tube 0.025% which is not in a airless pump?

The brand is super deceiving as they never put their ingredients list fully and i researched their brand so much and their marketing seemed to prompt science based data and invested founders who care so I bought two products from them and I am allergic to fragrance.
