I was so excited to try this routine! I went out to purchase everything except the cleanser and the Vit C. Let me just say my face was very happy until I applied the Azelaic Acid on top of the Granactive Retinoid with 5%, my face almost set fire!! I had to wash it off immediately! I went to the ordinary site, and it says "not" to apply the Granactive Retinoid with any of their direct acids and Azelaic was one of them! I will try again without it!! That was my worst experience. I do see there is another video that seems to be an updated version that does not include the Granactive Retinoid, wish I would have seen it first. Hopefully this helps someone else just joining.

Dr Rattan, I have literally watched 90% of all of your videos in the last 5 days. You are a lifesaver to me! I am of African descent, 61 years of age with combination normal to dry skin. I suffer with hyperpigmentation that became very apparent to me about 6years ago and has been getting worst until about 4 years ago when I was introduced to sunscreen. The darkness slowed down with sunscreen and anti aging routine. Thanks to you, I definitely have a much greater understanding of how to use my skincare products. I will be purchasing you sunglasses too. Thank you so much for everything you shared about inflammation, sunscreens and skincare routines. I will check back with you with my 30 day results! Thank you again!

@@marvareedfatima9510 so far, the most evident change has been much less irritation because I'm using my products differently, those that I continue to use. I also purchased the colorscience sunscreen and block because I was using a chemical block. The progress so far, much more even looking skin.

Lovvvve all of your videos THANK YOU 😭 can you PLEASE make an Ordinary layering routine for dry sensitive acne prone dark skin that also includes how to prevent acne and treat hyperpigmentation? Just want to make sure the products mentioned in this video will work with acne centered products.

[@SA-nx6cr]

This is what i need to , i brought these products.... and used them tonight. but now im worried becuase my face is tingling ... so maybe i shouldnt have used it with acne irritated skin

[@vaishalisahu13]

I have pigmented skin so I somehow came to this video. Ordered the products mentioned by Dr V except for the moisturizer from ordinary bcoz it's out of stock here in Rotterdam. So as a mositurizer, I apply a cream from Paula's choice. My spots which were there on my cheeks since 6-7months have now started fading. The Ordinary products actually work.. thank you Dr V.. 😀

[@cyrilsantos85]

I hope this video will help my mother's melasma. I just finished the whole video and it's very informative. I might watch a few more for myself later. Thanks!

[@anantakadine4825]

Thanks for the info, very helpful. Just purchased some Ordinary products... I'm from Trinidad where it's incredibly hot everyday so now I know (as I suspected) that I can't use the products during the day

[@AnaGarcia-sf2xe]

I have been struggling with this exact same issue and this video has been so amazingly helpful! Thank you so much or giving all of us the knowledge to start this skincare journey off on the right foot!

[@leahmanaoat2857]

Thank you! Just started my Ordinary journey and hoping for the best result.

[@doriansingh4979]

Thank you so much for this! I have one question and one recommendation: 1) The Ordinary is completely out of the Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. In other videos, you have recommended their Ethylated Ascorbic acid 15%. Can that be incorporated safely into this regime in lieu of the Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate? 2) It would be fantastic if you could do a video for The Ordinary for Hyperpigmentation AND anti-aging. What can we safely combine from each regime to combat both hyperpigmentation and the aging process? Or do you have to keep these regimes completely separate?

[@sct4040]

Actually, she just gave that to you. The retinoid is for anti-aging.

[@soniaverma1338]

Thanks so much !! It looked so helpful

[@annalove9593]

I know this question was asked over a yr ago but this is what I use: cleanser, Alpha Arbutin, Buffet, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F, & a moisturizer in tha morning. In the evening, I add the Azelaic Acid before moisturizing.

[@annalove9593]

At 46, ppl r constantly telling me that my skin is glowing, pretty, and flawless.

[@stephanielong7997]

I can't thank you enough for this! I hate being so insecure about such a vain issue and am so tired of spending a fortune trying to get rid of my melasma only for it to come right back from one accidental moment in the sun. This info is truly helpful and greatly appreciated!

[@ihuomaotika2656]

It's not vain dear. I have terrible hyperpigmentation and dark spots scattered around my chin plus the frequent painful acne, so I can understand insecurity but we can't let it get us down. Hope it worked for you

[@Kueytwo]

Yes. I need to have anti-aging and hyperpigmentated skin routine. That is good all day. I work nights in a bright environment and sleep days in a bright area and always exposed to blue and all sorts of light.

[@CrazyPlantLady911]

If you're trying to sleep during the day, have you tried getting "blackout" curtains? I find they help a lot to prevent light from penetrating indoors, day or night (even light from street lamps can prevent me from getting a good night sleep). They can be expensive though, so if you know how to sew, you can get blackout fabric and make your own. 😉

[@nellynamaruthan]

Hi Dr. V - I would be happy if you could please let me know which Vitamin C can replace the 10% magnesium ascorbyl from ‘The ordinary’ line since it has gone out of stock for a while now

[@SuperShakirawakawaka]

if you have acne-prone skin or oily, please conduct a skin-patch test before using the cerave moisturizer she mentioned as part of your regular routine. That product gave me cystic acne and now I'm dealing with hyper-pigmentation.

[@briaburkett4135]

Thank you for sharing. I started using the products, and my cheeks are breaking out. I was unsure what may be causing it.

[@Sofeja98]

so glad I watched this!! Just used a recommended skincare routine by the ordinary for hyperpigmentations for the first time (double cleanse, Alpha Arbutin & Azelaic Acid) and felt sooooo dry! Reached for my perfume free face cream as I watched this and applied as soon as you talked about the Azelaic Acid. Thank you for this video! x

[@kish7619]

*Me sitting here with my fragranced Loreal cream on my face* 👀👄👀 I just realized why I began to breakout!

[@Riyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Double cleanse 2% Alpha arbutin 10% Niacinamide Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate ( can't find this product anywhere. It's a water-soluble derivative of vitamin c. So I'm using Ascorbyl Glucoside 12%) Retinoid ( Granactive Retinoid 2% is best for skin of colour) Azelaic acid Moisturiser .🌻

[@dmaria2240]

I will always be so glad I came across your channel! Educated, medical professionals are such a rarity on KZbin in comparison to the sea of skincare influencers with little to no real knowledge and who often give out harmful advice (some of which I've unfortunately followed and suffered as a result).. I no longer need any of them now that I've found an actual professional who truly cares about brown skin. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dr ❤️

[@mitzietheodore2589]

Yes! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a digestible way. The fact you provide this information especially for POC skin is amazing. I am going to try this regimen asap!

[@vaniakanwal7806]

Can you guide us how to use 100% L ascorbic acid poweder from ordinary and whats best to mix with it and how offen it should be used.

[@vanitarattan]

This video comes on Sunday. L-ASCORBIC acid is tough though as you can't combine it with so many things

[@vaniakanwal7806]

@@vanitarattan i have heard many ppl they mix resveratrol 3%+ferulic acid 3% from ordinary with it and they seems to be quite happy with that.. but agter seeing ur comment i think i should not think of mixing it with ascorbic powder.
