[@MannawithMalissa]

Hello Dr. Stephens! Thank you for this timely review. I would love to be gifted with the ‘Sheer Joy’ sunscreen. As a fellow New Jerseryian and melanin rich woman it’s the perfect fit for me. Thank you in advance for the gift and as always for your informative and transforming skin tips 😉!

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thanks so much for watching and Best of Luck for the Giveaway❤️

Hey Dr Stephens, I have an urgent question, if I have hyper-pigmented under arms and mid thighs, would you recommend adding Hemp oil to my cerave moisturiser?? Or are there better remedies ? Also, most of your products are hard to find in the UAE, so kindly advise your international followers how to acquire these great products Also if my entire body suffers hyperpigmentation, I can’t do my face routine on it, what would you recommend ? PS; I’d love to win me some products 😍😍😍I’ll pay the shipping and delivery fees 💃🏽

[@cierral1170]

I'm from New Jersey too! I've been battling with hormonal acne as a teen and now I'm getting into sunscreen because I'm trying to get rid of my hyperpigmentation

[@GAIALIFE842]

Sunscreen shouldn’t be a luxury that’s expensive and health it’s important

[@Bianca2141761]

You convinced me to start wearing sunscreen, lots of black people do not think we need it, but watching your videos encouraged me to start taking care of my skin and even led me to going into your practice. Would like to try the one by Doctor V because love supporting black owned.

[@cesium419]

We definitely do. Found this out years ago even from a white dermatologist told me this over 12 Years ago. Melanin doesn't make us skin cancer resistant.

[@SP-ig3vs]

Dr V is not black.

[@WilliamsPinch]

We don’t “need” it. Just look at your family and use common sense before consumerism.

[@Natyourpl8]

@@WilliamsPinch if you have skin, you absolutely do. Skin cancer is no joke. We live in a different world than our ancestors.

[@search4omniscience]

@@WilliamsPinch in the cosmetic sense…. spending a lot of time in the sun without sunscreen can make your skin uneven

[@ilikeitpicasso6505]

Dr. Stephens your informations as well as Dr V literally saved my skin especially when you’re brown and there’s no one to guide you to a proper skincare. If I were to win the giveaway than I would definitely go for the Dr V sunscreen because I just love her.

[@Sincerelyprisca]

Couldn't agree more. They are my absolute favourites ☺️.

[@akhilavelma1981]

You are the one person whose content I can relate to when it comes to sunscreen for women with color. I have extreme hyperpigmentation on my face and neck but after applying sunscreen religiously it’s getting a bit better. Slowly but improving for sure. I would love to try supergoop sunscreen as I’ve heard great things about it.

[@dominiquethomas9603]

Bergen sunscreen is the best! I have been using it for about 2 months now. It doesn't leave my skin oily, it's lightweight and it's Black woman owned. It was worth the $$.

[@mswtaz94]

How did you get it? I used the link but didn’t see it on the site.

[@tilafaye3200]

Hello Dr. Stephens, I recently discovered your channel about two weeks ago after one of your videos showed up in me recommended videos. I just want to sincerely thank you for the information you provide. I have suffered (and I use this work literally) from acne-prone skin and hyperpigmentation since I was young. The last time I had clear skin was in the 8th grade. 😩 After binge-watching many of your videos, I changed my entire skincare routine based on the info you provide and have noticed an IMMEDIATE positive difference. I still have a lot of dark spots on my skin but I know that will take time. Dr. Stephens, I can’t express my gratitude for all that you do. My skin has never felt so healthy and I am excited to SEE the long-term results (I began picture documenting my skin 😊). I’m just hear you express my gratitude 🙏🏽 I am a supporter for life.

[@monye9963]

Dr Alexis your back, we're glad that you're blessing us with your presence again.

[@amandapanda3750]

I recently bought the MD Solar sunscreen. It blends in nicely with my skin tone and looks like foundation. However , it’s kinda pricey for the size tube it comes in. But otherwise a really nice product.

[@toughchic6377]

I cannot thank you enough for this! I felt trapped today because I wanted something without a tint and inzincable was appearing to be the only option but not the best for my oily skin and here you come to save me. Thank you so very much!

[@delfina1721]

As someone whose skin finds all tinted sunscreens heavy and all non tinted ones to be ghostly, I’d definitely love to try out the one from Bergen derm. Thank you for this video. :)

[@bkhomegurl]

Dr. B is the best doctor of any speciality I have ever had. She really cares about her patients. I miss going to her since she no longer takes insurance, but I will definitely be going to her office to purchase her sunscreen.

[@fannyd305]

I love Dr. B too. She’s very informative and doesn’t mind answering your questions no matter how many you may have. And she’s very down to earth.

[@redjezebelle25]

Hi Dr Alexis . Love your channel . It's important we have young black doctors to educate us on our skin. Keep shinning. As far as the sunscreen I would like the 'sheer joy' sunscreen

[@kalisworl]

I am ecstatic that you’ve shared this non tinted mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast. I have been wanting a mineral sunscreen soooo badly and thank you thank you thank you😭😭❤️❤️ it’s expensive but honestly take my money this is the product I’ve been looking for.

[@kalisworl]

@@rebeccarambo2893 I think they discontinued or changed the formula it was so hard for me to get a hold of so I never got it unfortunately.

[@piki4862]

You have gorgeous skin Dr. Stephens

[@Yvette888-i4p]

Hi Dr. Stephens, I’m absolutely ecstatic that I discovered your channel this year. For a melanin rich woman who is suffering with sun spots and melasma (I didn’t know what this was until I started watching your channel) it’s so refreshing the knowledge you are spreading. I’m now obsessed with trying to find the right sunscreen that works for myself that contains good ingredients. I would love if you could gift me the Dr. B sunscreen. Keep spreading the knowledge for women of color!!!!

[@pattyiwamoto7163]

Dr. Stephen’s thank-you for the opportunity as well as your review. I am interested in either as I have wanted to try MD solar sciences but now interested in the sheer joy since it provides blue light protection. Thanks for always mentioning sensitive skin. You are appreciated!

[@RaniPatel1800]

For the hot and sweaty summers, littllextra riceberry sunscreen is essential and alongside it, the riceberry face wash is necessary to clear out the pores from dust and microbes which could lead to acne. It not only makes your skin clean but also does not make it too dry. I love these products and would buy again and again.

[@glocan]

This is right on time! I have come to the realization that chemical sunscreens are making my hyperpigmentation worse 😖 I would be interested in the 2nd choice: Sheer Joy please🤗

[@NycRamona]

You are absolutely GORGEOUS, Dr. Stephens!!! And what a lovely and soothing speaking voice.

[@Cubalibre-v6b]

I have literally purchased every sunscreen you have recommended on previous videos.I have to say I have not been disappointed at all. Your recommendations are amazing. I finished watching this video and went ahead and purchased the ones on this video. I love your videos and I have learn so much with you about skincare!! You are simply amazing!

[@iamsunshyne5322]

I burn so bad in the heat!! I come to your channel after being fed up.. I've been to a dermatologist years ago when I was swollen and burned and was given a prescription sunscreen. Come to find out my skin does not do well with regular sunscreen. I hope I can help myself through your knowledge. I'm currently been looking for a black dermatologist in Dallas. I WANNA GO OUTSIDE!!! ❤️❤️

[@ngujewel]

Great review of mineral sunscreens of darker skintones. I am tired of looking like Casper. i would love to try the colorescience flex.

[@kindandinternationl9386]

My face and neck still darken/tan with while wearing sunscreen. I really need one that prevents the tanning, hyperpigmentation. I no longer care for the darker face/neck vs the rest of my body. It looks disconnected.

[@boienglishbulldog3092]

Thank 👏🏽you 👏🏽for 👏🏽this ! I have been struggling with hyperpigmentation 🙄 since Covid 🤔 I guess it's from wearing a mask to the gym everyday 👎🏽. I'm a medium tan skin tone (Mac NC 42) I'm interested in the "SHEER JOY" did I mention I'm in my 40's .

[@awkwardletter9533]

Please do a video about exfoliators! 🙏🏾

[@michaelaaryanna]

I love your page Dr. Stephens! Between you and Doctor V I’ve been getting my skin care right on track. Love that these pages are available for us with skins of color. I would love Dr. V Inzincable or the Sheer Joy. They both look amazing

[@Rachael813]

Love a yearly sunscreen wrap up! Thank you for this!

[@africanmai]

I would definitely love the Bergenderm Sheer Joy Sunscreen SPF 50+. This sunscreen is like gold in a bottle with peptides and anti aging properties and no cast on my dark complexion, I am all in.

[@nataliemcgarry5527]

Oh I would love to try the second one the untinted one it sounds lovely and nourishing and good for my dry skin. Great video...

[@elsoobaloo7492]

Hi Dr Alexia! Thank you so much for all your videos! I have used and loved the Colorscience for quite some time. At the moment I am still teleworking and so I am not too worried about having the tint in my sunscreen to cover up my hyperpigmentation & melasma, but I still need the Blue light protection. It would be very lovely to try the Sheer Joy Sunscreen.

[@ericadani]

Sunscreens have absolutely become a favorite step in my skincare routine. Mineral sunscreen work best for me because my eyes are easily irritated by the chemical ones. I would love to try the Bergen one! Thanks for sharing them with us!

[@moisdawg]

i have sensitive eyes too and the bergen one stung my eyes lol

[@ericadani]

@@moisdawg oh no, that's my biggest problem so far with chemical ones. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, hopefully you've found a more perfect match for your needs!

[@cannmyles]

Thank you doctor for continuously looking out for our melanin rich color and pocketbooks! I am well over 60 and only recently started wearing sunscreen. I have really gotten into skin care and a good sunscreen has been one of my biggest challenges. Since I have oily skin I try not to add anything that makes it shine. The Sheer Joy may be the one I've been searching for. Thank you for what you do for our community of beauties!

[@taneshadavis5042]

Hi I would love the sheer joy as I too wear white often I hate getting my clothes stained with the tinted ones. Just started on my mineral sunscreen journey.

[@missann0906]

Thanks for the update,I need try the color science and I love it,I would be interested in the Sheer Joy,

[@Valreea]

I would love Sheer Joy! As a male, it’s hard to find a sunscreen that just disappears, and this one seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you so much, Dr. Stephens!

[@adityaiyli8982]

I would prefer the color science blue one

[@akueedith6246]

I would prefer the MDsolarscience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. My skin improved so much since I discovered your channel 😘😘

I was never taught about sunscreen growing up and I’m in my 40’s but I’m interested in learning more about what sunscreen works for me. I would love to try the Sheer Joy sunscreen please. Thank you for helping me learn more about sunscreen benefits for dark skin.

[@kyraellis5761]

Sheer joy sunscreen looks like a nice one I shall maybe buy as you said the tinted ones can get abit messy you are right with that. X

[@Future-zx9ts]

I’ve been a user of Elta MD products for a LONG time, but in the past year or two have really been liking Colorescience products! Their undereye SPF is an HG product for me, too! Great video….as always!! ☺️🙌

[@brendamarshall9506]

Hi, Dr Stephen! Which ever you pick. I have oily skin. Make it a beautiful day on purpose. Thank you Brenda.

[@XxRamyaRocksxX]

My favorite is definitely colorscience flex... but I'm so excited to try MDsolarsciences!

[@naturalwoman8315]

So excited for this video! Would love the Colorscience Sunforgettable please????

[@ethomas8795]

So my sunscreen journey started when I was about 23 years old. I'm like a 5/6 on the fitzpatrick scale and I have combination to oily skin. I first started with the Obaji Sun Shield Matt SPF 50. Used that for about 8 years. Then went to Elta MD UV Shield broad spectrum in SPF 45. Was using that for about 8 years and now I'm using the Dr V. Inzincable. And I have to say the Dr. V sunscreen is probably the best sunscreen I've ever used. Never leaves a white cast and I mean NEVER. Doesn't pill which is perfect since I apply a lot of serums and hydrators as part of my morning routine. And it doesn't leave my skin oily or shiny. When I'm low I always order two at a time since I don't want to run out. I have to see that sunscreen is a 10/10 for me. For the body I just found the Eucerin Advanced Hydration in SPF 50 and that is also a game changer. I wear a lot of tank tops in the summer and after applying my Cerave body lotion I apply that on top and my skin looks so hydrated. And also doesn't leave a white cast. But I only us that for the body and the Dr. V for the face.

[@rosangelapereiradossantos6486]

[@niastewart8928]

Hi Dr. Stephens! Over the last year, watching your videos has helped me put together an amazing skincare regimen for my sensitive melanin skin! I'm almost twenty years old and you've taught me that it's never too early to start taking care of your skin. The sunscreen that I'm currently using is one of your recommendations from a previous video and while I love it, I would love to try something new! If gifted a sunscreen, I would love to try the Bergen Dermatology Sheer Joy Sunscreen! Thank you so much for all your advice and for truly being a reliable source for people of color who want to take care of their skin!

[@AR-md1zq]

Thank you! I would like the Sheer Joy sunscreen. Your mineral sunscreen reviews have been so helpful for my sensitive skin that cannot take chemical sunscreens.

[@kymiranee]

Dr. Alexis, when are you going to come out with your own sunscreen? I'm sure we would all buy from you. It's your time to shine.

[@artisticagi]

2:40 - MD Solar Sciences $38 but 15% of DRALEXIS Silicone, if you have oily skin might not be ideal. Or might be good during winter Will get that tint on whites 5:08 - Sheer Joy
