hello doctor v i think u should examine my skin , it is very very exotic , like no one in this world has a skin like me , it gets irritated with anything I put , currently I am just washing my face with just water and leaving it alone , and its fine, and when I use skin care products it gets irritated , my skin is a solid subject that should be experimented by skin care experts like u .........

I nearly fell off my chair when she said "I'm 38 now", absolutely stunning !

I love you so much Dr. V! I revamped my entire skincare routine thanks to your advice and now my skin is finally thriving! Thank you for helping me understand how to care for my Mexican skin the right way ❤️ You're a treasure

Hi Dr V . What's so interesting about your videos, is that Your explanation on skin care is understandable. There's nothing confusing about anything. It's skincare - The do"'s the don't. The good ,the bad. You keep it simple but detailed ,not complicated. So yeah Thank You. Love & Blessings from South Africa.💟

Such a delight to learn about various skin conditions and topics from you Dr. V. Thanks for engaging us.

Omg! What great timing Dr V, for past few days I was looking into exfoliators and you came out with this amazing video. Indeed a savior for me and SOC fam❤

Dr. V im a caucasian and your channel is the best. I’ve order product that you recommended and they all are excellent. 🥰🇨🇦

Could you do a skincare routine for post menopausal women please. Do we have the same need for exfoliation etc.

I could use a microdermabrasion-type product when I was younger. But I noticed that after 50, they caused micro-tears in my skin and an actual rash on my skin after using. I started to use a peeling -type gel and/ or glycolic acid once a week and these work much better. My skin is smooth, soft, and glowing instead of scratched and irritated.

Oh my God !! Are you reading my thoughts ??!! I was wondering what kind of exfoliation is good for me . Thank you so much for your great work and lots of love as always.💛

Thank you for another great video. How soon after chemically exfoliating can I resume tretinoin?

I use Tretinoin, 5% urea lotion, and after washing in the morning I use a few drops of TO 5% lactic acid. Those combined are very powerful. I wear a sun hat with a SPF veil to protect, and reapply my SPF 50 every 2-3 hrs

Hi Dr V. I wanted to ask what is the difference between the anhydrous salicylic acid from the ordinary and the normal one? and which one would you recommend for skin of colour xx

I absolutely made the mistake with the shiny skin thinking oh it’s working. Fast forward a month and water burned my skin. I went LRP double repair and cicaplast at night and nothing else in nights or mornings. It’s mending now but the texture and closed comedones are still an issue that won’t go away.

Benzoyl peroxide, Retinol, Salicylic acid separately Avoid- body exfoliation for the face, exfoliation tools, exfoliating on a damaged skin barrier Exfoliate at night and follow by a moisturizer No makeup on directly exfoliated skin

Hey Dr. V, I’m just curious if chemical exfoliants work for the bottom of feet? Or is it okay to use the pumice stone or other tools? Thanks so much for the info!! 💕

Dr. V, can you please sell that Body Exfoliater as well. Now that I know the physical ones that I DIY are bad for my skin, I would love it if you make the one you mentioned for the rest of us.

Hello Dr. V. Just discovered your KZread video. So, blessed to have you/them. I know off subject, but can you please do a video on Smashbox foundation? I have dry-to-normal skin. Thanks in advance.

I really enjoy your channel and I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us.

Thank you for all you do and share to help black people to have beautiful skin . Does you book would be in french? 🥰🙌🙌

Thanks Dr V . What do u think about those soft microfibre face towels for removing makeup?

I've learnt soooo much from you ,so grateful for this channel

Hi Dr V, what exfoliant would you recommend for people with oily and sensitive skin? Can I use the Paula's choice BHA 2% one?

Doctor V, I wish you will bring your products here in Australia; and make it accessible to skin of colour. I am not savvy with on line shopping. I am of old school generation that prefer physical shopping.

For BHA the Paula's choice one is my HG, and for AHA I just stick to the ordinary 10% lactic acid. I tried mizon glycolic acid 8% which was fine and I surprisingly didn't react to it but switched to lactic acid after finishing it based on your advice. I can't wait to buy your exfoliant! I don't see any products with a mix of lactic and mandelic compared to glycolic and lactic.

Man i got Paula's choice bha few months ago. Started using it once a week, while i did notice soft glowy skin the very next day, i also noticed a lot of bumps on my skin. Checked the ingredients and realised it's got polysorbate 20 in it which is a major FA trigger 😭 I hate that i can't use it.

Omg been waiting this one. I appreciate you so much and I needed something to watch while I have a break from cooking lol! Happy holidays to you and your family!

Topic suggestion: how do derm procedures such as lasers, micro needling, etc affect melasma/ hyperpigmentation? Is it ok to do? What about home treatments such as NuFace micro current devices?

Hi Dr. V, I've got combination oily skin that's sensitive and prone to acne - so what are the steps exactly - first toner, then serum, then the exfoliator like mandelic or salicylic and is that then washed off or left on for 5mins and then a moisturizer on top and then retinalhyde? and can we do salicylic in the day and then mandelic at night? daily or every other day?

I love your videos i wish i found them sooner!! For brown sensitive skin is it ok to do skin cycling and use more than 1 exfoliator per week like retinol and mandelic acid? ☺❤

The Ordinary has 10% Mandelic Acid . Once a week is good as Dr. V says . But my concern is how to use it. Leave it overnight or few hrs and then wash off the face .

Thanku so much Can u plz tell about sandalwood powder? Can we put it on our face? Plz plz doctor make a video on sandalwood

How often should I use exfoliant if I am trying to get rid of acne/blackheads as well as fade acne scars? Would everyday be too much?

Hey Dr V ! I just love your videos , i used the ordinary aha bha once in 10 days for a month and the ordinary vit c 23 percent and after a montH i got acne on lower cheeks 😞 i never had acne before ! I have stopped everything and using oil free cleanser and moisturizer , and erythromycin topical solution on my acne its been 2 months the acne is coming and going !! What to do now

I have oily acne prone skin and I wear makeup at times. I double cleanse to remove makeup, but i find that I have to use my TAO orbit face brush to remove the leftover makeup. How would you suggest to properly cleanse my skin without having to use the face brush?

I used to use benzoyl peroxide wash during my teenage years which prevented my acne but now my skin can’t tolerate it. 😩. I use 3.5% and my skin gets red and so itchy. Same with SA.

I wonder your thoughts about Liquid Gold by alpha H. I love that product always leaves my skin smooth.

Hi mam, I used godrej black dye over mustaches. My skin got burning sensations and now it left black shade like paint on mustaches area. Tell me what should I do?

Really appreciate your insight, definitely have changed up the game for me. However, what would be your best advice to restore the facial skin for a person of a mixed background that has irritated it, due to over exfoliation? Certain areas have been left looking patchy unfortunately, and am unsure on what is best. Would be a huge help. Thank you.

Hi dr.V... I'm on accutane. Can I use mandelic acid for exfoliation? If no, what I can do for exfoliation for a smooth skin before applying makeup?

Please suggest a good chemical exfoliation peeling solutions

Dr, I recently started using the Ordinary‘a Glycolic acid toner. Everything bad that could happen, happened. Flakiness. Basal layer exposed. Dryness where I usually would be oily. And it’s taking a while to normalize. I really wanted to like it but it’s too much for me to use daily. I used it three times in a week and… well, I’m suffering. Now resorting to slugging and considering returning it in favor of lactic acid. I did wonder if adding water to my cloth and then the glycolic acid to raise the pH slightly? Or once a week?

The inzincable is ₹6000 on Nykaa in India....Wish it was on a cheaper side...I would really like to get my hands on it....

Dr V will you review the Peter Thomas Roth brand, mainly the water drench line?

I regularly see your videos and try my best to follow it. However, i m a breastfeeding mom and want retinol serum recommendation for me and eye cream for my tired and ageing skin. I would be grateful for it. Thank you
