I'm from India, I'm using minimalist granactive retinoid 2%, three times a week since 1 year. Can i upgrade myself to the ordinary retinaldyhyde?

[@sandrambedzi7524]

I enjoy how increasingly impressed I get with every new post from you🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 May you also share tips on how to get through the purging phase as well as how to differentiate between purging and irritation from the retinoids.

[@chanvahnisri5891]

Dr V, if it's sandwich method for sensitive skin..do i wait for the moisturiser to dry first and then apply retinol?

[@darrenro2]

Dr V, Can you do a video on Natrium body washes for skin of colour

[@01jeanie]

Just in time! I was searching for your retinol advice because i know youve discussed it beforeand was glad to find this recent one. I appreciate both formats of your videos. I like the sit-down conversational ones and this one with intermittent images. You can't please everyone all the time. It's just unfortunate that some folk have difficulty expressing thier preferences/ opinions in a polite manner

[@karannagrale1109]

Strength wise retinoids 1. Retinyl ester 2. Retinol 3. Retinaldehyde (Retinal) - best for skin of colour 4. Retenoic acid

[@cbrooke16]

It’s that time for me. I’ve avoided retinol for so long thinking it was too intense to be safe overtime. But I get it. Thanks for the education Dr. V! 🙏🏽

[@Tamara-dv7vo]

This pretty short video packed a punch! As someone who's very busy but has a lot of questions, I really appreciate it this!

I was hoping to see the Granactive Retinoid serum from the Ordinary, because that is what I use in my night time routine. It was a firm recommendation from you as well. Works wonders for my 34 year old skin.

[@TheSumatron]

Excellent information as always. Just found the video editing a little jarring with all the zooming in and out and busy graphics appearing and disappearing with sound effects. I think for a short advert under 1 minute this would be fine though. Hope the honest feedback is ok! I love this channel - such a needed and valuable source of knowledge for women of colour x

[@vanitarattan]

Will do x

[@Ravinihegoda]

Exactly my thoughts

[@nidhikamboj29]

Agree. Vidoe was informative but lots of zooming in and out that was an absolute distraction. Thanks Dr. V. for all the info but please slow down the video speed and zooming in and out.

Dr V I loved the derma co range❤. I have been using it for last two months and I can see real difference in my skin. Its brighter, clear and smooth😊. Thank you so much for making this products, ABC exfoliator and the face wash is my favourite though all the products are really good👍. I wish you would make similar range in body. I really struggle to find a good body lotion with SPF 50 and if you make chemical exfolitor for body I can guarantee you that its going to be a hit 🎉. Please consider. Thank you🙏.

Question: Dr V, what are your thoughts on the Good Molecules Glycolic Exfoliating Toner?
