Here you go. All the reasons listed. 1. Giving up on your routine too soon 2. Using too many products 3. Over exfoliating or using the wrong exfoliant 4. Not using sunscreen as adequate as you should be 5. Not using the right supportive ingredients (KNOW YOUR SKIN) 6. Constant heat exposure 7. Picking at your skin 8. Doing the KZfaq DIY skin recipes 9. Not seeking professional help

Yes, please do a video on the best moisturizers for hyperpigmentation

I GOT YOU GUYS !! 1.) giving up too early. Long time to fade regardless of treatments. TAKES TIME! Stick with regimen for three months. Stick it ou! 2.) over doing it. Too many product, not playing well together in terms of ingredients. Mix 3.) over exfoliating/ wrong type exfoliating! Too irritating ( too often , very high percent acid ) . Acids - start low and go slow. Endomatic (??) enzyme exfoliation is better route! 4.) more sunscreen! Two finger lengths of thumb screen amount and reapply sunscreen!! 5.) supportive ingredients ( correct cleansers and moisturizer for skin type , work well with you active ingredients as well) 6.) Antioxidants- protect and prevent further hyperpigmentation . Decrease oxidative damage. Vitamin c , green tea , sunscreen!! 7.) heat exposure ( sauna, hot yoga , climate) worsen pigmentations 8.) STOP PICKING STOP PICKING STOP PICKING STOP PICKING STOP PICKING !!! 9.) NO LEMONS NO DIYS 10.) When to seek help - see aethestician or dermatologist! This costs one like and one positive supportive comment that we gonna clear our skin :)

OMG YES to the best moisturizers for skin with hyperpigmentation!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Patience is key just after 6months I'm seeing some improvement using vit C, arbutin and azealic acid. Thank you for the content

You are so beautiful, well-poken, feminine, intelligent and I noticed you only wear kinky textured hairstyles. A beautiful example for younger generations 💕

Thank you for spreading your knowledge! Many people don’t have access to a dermatologist so these videos are so invaluable 🤗

Yes please do a video on moisturizers. Please give drugstore options, or options easily accessible like on amazon.

Your skin is glowing, Dr. Alexis! 😍 Yes, would love that video on the best moisturizers for hyperpigmentation! 🤗

Before I even watched let me say if your not using sunscreen don’t ask why your marks aren’t improving when I actually started wearing it EVERYDAY EVEN INSIDE my skin changed drastically

Never clicked so fast 😩 Phew never been so early P.S Yes I want that moisturiser video

just this morning i was wondering why my dark spots were not fading and then i see this! i couldnt click fast enough! please make a video on moisturizers. thank you!

Yes Please !! Do the best moisturisers for hyperpigmentation .... Thank you!

I have an issue with popping my pimples. That's why I have dark spots all over me. My skin has gone through a lot during quarantine for some reason and I've barely worn makeup. But before I never had so many breakout issues smh. I wouldn't even say I'm stressed out, I've had a job working from home this whole time. I've been suffering from extremely dry skin under my eyes and on my smile lines too and those areas are darker.

5 tips already 4 minutes in. Love the straight to the point information! I can’t stand others who beat around the bush and make 30 minute videos with a bunch of editing.

Yes to this!! Taking a work break to watch this!!!

yes! please... I’ve been following your recommendations for the past 2 weeks and I already see my skin been so different ( I’m new to your channel).. I know it will take me some time for my hyperpigmentation scars to get better but I know I’m on the right direction 🙏🏽 God bless you and thanks for your tips

Yes, I would love a video on moisturizers for pigmentation.

PLEASE THUMBS THIS UP SO SHE CAN SEE THIS 🙏🏼 Dr Stevens... can you make a video on skin dryness not improving? I’ve tried all the recommended creams for dry skin (cerave moisturizing cream, cerave healing ointment, FAB Ultra repair cream, vanicream cream, Skinfix Barrier creams, etc). I’ve cut out dairy, I eat healthy, and drink lots of water. I make sure to put on moisturizer immediately after the shower. (PS i live in southern California) I literally have tried EVERYTHING. Please help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The skin dryness has caused acne that is only getting worse by the day. I use: Vanicream gentle face wash Hyaluronic acid (my face feels way more dry if I don’t use it) - Inkey List Polyglutamic Acid (my face feels more dry if i do not use it) - Inkey List Niacinimide - Inkey List Cerave Moisturizing Cream Cerave Healing Ointment

you are gloowwing! i'm a med student and you inspire me to do my residency in derm! love your channel

yes please! a video on the best moisturisers for hyperpigmentation would be so helpful.

I absolutely learn alot from your channel. I'm suffering from hyper pigmentation, I use to use Ambi skin tone cream it had hydroquinone in it and it would give me a beautiful evened skin tone. However I stopped using it in 2009 but I tried it again in 2015 and i had a reaction to the hydroquinone, I had round raised hives all over my face. Dermatologist told me to discontinue and said I had build up a intolerance to the hydroquinone in the product. He gave me tretinoin and Cetaphil moisturizer to clear up the irritation.. Tretinoin burned and peeled, which I knew it would. After healing it left dark scars. I just don't know what to use now. This is my current routine. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser, I follow up with a toner clean and clear deep cleaning toner for sensitive skin. Then I use Cetaphil for moisture. But I want the glow and even tone I had when I used the Ambi cream. It gave me a flawless face being often mistaken for wearing makeup. Do you have any suggestions on what I could use to give me that glow and eventone without the harshness that hydroquinone now gives me. I'm a non certified esthetician I graduated and ready to get board certified. My face is suppose to be my inspiration to others. I can't have raggedy skin trying to tell someone else how to keep their skin clear. HELP ME DOCTOR PLEEEASE! PLEASE RESPOND, thank you❤❤❤

My derm (treats mainly patients of lighter skin tones if you know what I mean), did not even mention Azalaeic acid to me for my PIH. I brought it up to her (thanks dr. stephens) and she told me that she doesn't prescribe it because it's available over the counter now. Umm I know the ordinary has 10% and that's what I've been using, but I came to you to get the presciption strength (ie. finecia, etc). *eye rolls* Dr. Stephens, next time I'm in the area, I might have to slide on through and get your help!

Hey Dr Alexis please can you do a video just on Vitamin C! You mentioned that we should only use a pure Ascorbic acid during the day but I can’t find a pure one. The vitamin C that that I’ve seen is always mixed so I’m not sure if it’s safe to use during the day. There is one (Ascorbic acid) in a blue bottle that you showed on your IG recently but I couldn’t find. Please recommend a few brands that I can use during the day pretty please. Thank you 😊

Yes, I needed this video. I’ve had PIH for about 2 months and it hardly faded!!! Also, it feels like PIH is a never ending battle. I haven’t broken out in 2 months, but I got a small pimple a week ago, now I have a new dark spot on my face. Is there anyway to prevent a pimple from turning into a dark mark?

Ok....I watched Mrs. Pickett-Smith’s daily routine and I loved the steam. I thought what could it hurt? It looked very relaxing. Welllllll....it dried out my skin. I have some hyperpigmentation on the bottom left and right sides of my cheeks. I discontinued implementing a trio of facial teams. I am hopeful 🙏🏾 that my normal skin well return. 😬😁

We absolutely want a video an moisturizers please and thank you Professor!

So helpful especially the tip about heat. Please do the moisturizing video. I tend to get hyperpigmentation on one side of my face, why is that?

Just found your channel a few days ago and am binging on it. Love it! Thank you so much for the content.

yes! moisturizer video please!

Thank you, beautiful Doctor Alexis!!! 😻😻😻

I’ve been getting so many dark marks from breaking out and wearing a mask alllll day long (military/healthcare worker). I’ve been using my good molecules products you did in a review hoping this helps a bunch. ❤️

I do remember you saying acne prone people using benzoyl peroxide, it will cancel out some of hyperpigmentation actives.
