Don’t we all learn that skincare isn’t just about treating your skin but also preventing skin inflammation? She’s all about treating your skin “safely” with 0% irritation and she already mentioned it so many times in her videos. Her opinions on glycolic acid is completely understandable and valid since they were all based off of scientific evidence and research that she has done on her own specifically for skin of colour. I just don’t get it why would a lot of people come for her. We love your prudence Dr. V 💕

Please don't get affected. I know what you mean. I tried using glycolic acid and it burned my face and made my face sooo dark for the longest time and I was not a happy camper. It took me 6months to bring my face color back and I'm not even there. I am so thankful to see your channel because it educated me. And everything you said, I followed them and I see a good result and I can say, I am a happy camper now because my skin is getting better and better everyday... 😊 More power!

Myview tv I am so sorry you had to go through that . Please avoid Duac and try Azelaic acid as an anti bacterial. They all keep the bacteria away moderately. Benzoyl peroxide oxidises and makes the de pigmentations ineffective. You are not using any active for de pigmentation, please watch the ordinary layering from Dr V to find products to de pigment.

I would really like to thank you and tell you to keep up the amazing work for skin of colour. I sat up one night about a month ago, in tears after I did my night routine. Couldn't figure out why my skin was getting worst with dry eyes, laugh lines, hyperpigmentation, dullness, texture and the list goes on, when I was following a "regimen". Before I went to sleep I remembered a friend of mine sent me your page in an inbox, any who my bed time was delayed 3 hours later and I threw out all of my old skincare products. Started from scratch with only products you've recommended and within 2 weeks I saw a major difference in the appreance of my skin. My under eyes looked less sunken in and hydrated, I literally broke down in tears because I'm in my late 20's and wanted to start helping my aging process on my skin early and I had such resilient skin, I didn't do the research because I thought any thing would work. Oh was I wrong..... Your information is pure FACTS these product accelerate your aging process at least by 10 years if you aren't carful maybe even more. 1 month later and I can walk out the house NO MAKEUP and I feel comfortable again, this is a liberating. Thank you once again.💕😁

Love your channel Dr V! Honestly, it’s been very much needed for a long time. I feel like people don’t realise how much a difference having clinical experience, as well as being a cosmetics formulator as well as conducting your trials, as well as having experience of melesma yourself makes to the quality of advice you give. It takes years to get that point and standard in a field, but it really comes across in the work you do. I work as a physio and have a sports science degree as well,as working in research, sports coaching and having been an athlete myself. I feel the same way about the fitness industry and everything I see 🙈🙈. Please could you do a video on pitted/ice pick acne scars and how to get rid of them? They’re a nightmare to get rid of. Is microneedling/dermabrasion/mesotherapy etc safe for us? And peels wise...can mandelic acid peel be used to get rid of pitted scars too instead of the other peels out there? I had a pxr-t33 treatment done and I swear it made the pigmentation on my neck worse 🙈. Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work ;)

Ma personal take on it is that if u r a person of skin of color n using glycolic acid n getting results without 0 irritation then go on. These videos remind us of other better options too. For those who r starting to play with AHA try mandelic or lactic acids.

Thank you so much for continuing to share this information and helping us to educate ourselves about our skin. Quite frankly I prefer to have this information from a qualified expert and then make up my own mind on what to use. And yes, if you say to be careful then I will. When I buy Mandelic acid instead of glycolic, it’s my money, my choice! Before I discovered your videos I spent much less on skincare as I did not know what to buy and stuck to the basics. Now I spend much more but on the right products for me and I love it, thank you.

Dr V I just ❤❤ you! We have to thank you for educating and empowering us to demand the highest standard for our skin because no-one has ever said it or has had the in-depth knowledge that you possess! Honestly before watching your channel I had no clue that the products I was using was harming my skin. I thought that since it's 'natural' it would be fine. But now I know better and I've passed the info to my fambamz n friends. My niece who has eczema on her hands (she's been using many lotion that's suppose to be fantastic for eczema), nothing really worked except cerave, it's restoring her skin barrier! You have the full support and love of the skin of color family❤❤❤

you are awesome! I wisssshhhh I had you in my corner 3 years ago when I was practically in no-man's land with skincare knowledge. As a newbie i would devour advice from experts on the Tube and was running for the ever popular glycolic acid to help with melasma after my pregnancy. Long story short I ended up with burning and hyperpigmentation on the areas I was trying to make amends to. So I must say thank you for giving us brown and black ladies and gents an avenue for skincare advice specific for our skin type.

Pretty big dark patches and I noticed they got darker after I used the glycolic acid. Needless to say I stopped using it. This is confirmation I was right.

Wow! Best video I’ve seen explaining glycolic acid. I have nightmares and palpitations just hearing it mentioned. I used the “Inkeylist” brand one only twice about 2 months ago and it burned my skin so bad that I’m still trying to repair my skin barrier after all this time. As much as I love this brand, this will be the only product I will never buy, and it was entirely my fault, either I read wrong or misunderstood the description and usage of this product that I have completely sensitized my skin and I had to change my entire skin care routine as well as all my beloved products. Thank you very much for all this information. Would you please make a video on how to repair our skin barrier as well as product recommendations. ❤️

@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 Жыл бұрын

I use glycolic acid regularly. However, the percentage is very low and doesn't make my skin "peel." I was very careful, testing a so-called peel product before putting it on my face. I've had great results using several types i.e. pads, treatment duos, with no problems, ( side effects) at all. I think it's important to test any product before using it on the face to avoid burning, peeling, or other problems that will cause hyperpigmentation. I love it, and have had nothing but great results from using it.

I used the the ordinary 30% AHA + 2% BHA TWICE! Just twice in my entire life, and my superhumanly insensitive skin had a centimeter-large dark spot over my upper lip I have been in the sun for hours without sunscreen, trekking and swimming and I have never had pigmented spots but glycolic acid gave me one massive spot in two uses. I didn't even keep it on for 5 minutes. So when Dr V says it's not good for skin of color, believe her. 🥺

I understand the rationale of 0% irritation and is a fair call in why you choose to not use glycolic acid. On your website you mention being a leading pioneer in research and would love to see the research that you have published. Especially when there is very little research in regards to treatments for skin of colour, it will be great to see the contributions that you have made to research to address this limitation :)
