Awareness. Fav word and deed of mine. That's y I like you. Would you please make vdo about amount of product we should be using cuz when we use more than one product just like the ordinary one...we don't know what amount and how much time we should take?
Please don’t stop Dr. V! You are doing the Lord’s work educating us and keeping us from damaging our skin and throwing away our hard earned money. Thank you for always being honest and thorough! I know I’m thankful for you and your channel on our Thanksgiving Day across the Pond.
I love the transparency that is shown on this channel. Keep up the good work. A standard needs to be set that is in the interest of the consumer. Thank You!!!
You keep doing your reviews this way. They aren't negative or positive. They're honest. That's what we need. I had some of the products you reviewed. Now I know why they didn't work. It's Thanksgiving in the states today's. I'm thankful for you 😊. Another great review.
Absolutely shocking. I have the lancôme and felt it made the lines on my forehead worse. I stopped using it and got The Ordinary argiriline and matrixyl instead. A world of a difference. "Because something is expensive doesn't make it good." Thank you Dr V. You're the best.
Please do NOT stop your reviews. Educating consumers is so critically important - physically, fiscally, and mentally. No one wants to compromise their skin while wasting their time and treasury in the process. We need you and value you. Please keep the unbiased reviews coming!
I'm not a woman of colour but I love listening to your expertise on skincare and as a cosmetic formula. You talking about these brands and their overpriced products is sooo needed for us who can't always tell looking at the inci list. So glad I watched this video it's given me a great perspective on looking out for these overpriced products.
DO NOT STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING PLEASE! I'm so shocked at some of the brands you have called out. It's criminal that some of these brands are getting away with practically fraud with their over-hyped and over-charged products that are just literally not worth it! It's opened my eyes for sure, so please do carry on and hopefully these brands and more will start to sit up and listen. The ones you have named for sure should be hanging their heads in shame ☹️
BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! 👏🏽 thank you for your honesty, Dr V! Please Never stop doing what you're doing! There is no moral virtue in being positive when so many good people are being ripped off by unscrupulous cosmetic companies. This needs to be called out! So proud that our own Dr V is heading the charge! ⚘️❤️🥰
I absolutely love this video! I work at Sephora as a brand rep and I am so passionate about ensuring customers receive the BEST products. Love how you broke down some of the most asked about products. Truly appreciate you.
Thank you! My basket has just emptied! You just saved me from spending over £300 on shameful marketing. Please continue this great series of videos! As a massive beauty product junkie, I’ve given myself months and months of contact dermatitis just from believing the influencers/gumpf, parted with a ton of money and most of ‘22 has been spent trying to fix my face. Only way to do that is to become more skincare savvy, as you say, and stick to less is more, and to read the INCI list before checking out! Thank you again Dr V! ❤
Hi Dr. V! Please continue sharing the TRUTH. The good, the bad, the ugly…whatever is TRUE. Thanks so much for giving us non-sponsored videos. It’s rare these days! 💕
As someone who is at the age where I'm willing to spend a fair bit on my skin, I REALLY appreciate you giving us the good, bad, and ridiculous about these products. You've got me going back now to check the ingredient lists of the things I use to see if they're really worth my investment.
I think it needs to be said about what these companies are getting away with. Instead of hiding the bad ingredients they need to take the time to reformulate and get it right. You are doing the right thing Dr. V
Could you please explain how to find the percentages if it just say the ingredients Could you please do a vedeo on anti-aging and pigmentation complete routine Thanx
I'm so happy that there is someone like Dr. Vanita who guides and educate us about skincare. Please continue to keep us informed with these products whether they are good or bad, especially to us who are not aware about the ingredients and the effects they have in our skin. Thanks so much and we're here to support you. 😀🙌
Just another quick note. I keep going to Sephora and coming back empty handed. I thought I was going crazy because I thought surely I’m not reading the inci list right. This video is so timely.
Love the way Dr. V is exposing all these expensive brands and their wrong way to formulate their products. Please keep killing it! ❤can you please talk about Jenifer Lopez skincare products? Abrazos!
These are positive videos bc you are providing tutorials that are saving people time and money! You don't slag off companies. You urge them to do better and teach us how to see through the marketing. Bless you.
I am glad to see someone speaking out about the bad products that cost so much. As a health care professional you should be ethical and not be bribed by money. I know the influencers need to make money, but should not do so at the cost of causing harm. Most of them are not clinical, so there may be some ignorance. However, there are many that have tried the products and know they do not work, but continue to swear by it. I hope other physicians/providers will be as honest as you are. Thank you for the information and continue to share.
Disturbing that some of the ingredients were removed from the INCI list. This video is a great education. Please continue to call out these brands so that we know what to spend our money on.
I'm so glad someone is actively talking about this especially since the price point of these products are soooooo high. And these basic ingredients are not expensive and the formulation is already tested and tried ones. There's nothing extraordinary about this formulations
Hi there, I just found your channel today while trying to research products I am considering purchasing. Finding someone who is a professional, knowledgeable, candid and honest about these products is a breath of fresh air. Please keep doing these videos! Consumers are being duped by pretty packaging, influencers, and hype that’s being shoved in front of us on the daily. I SO appreciate your knowledge and what you share with your viewers and the breakdown of the ingredients is super helpful. You read these labels and it’s all Greek and you have no idea what is good or bad. I have binge watched several of your videos and I am going to start writing down some of the ingredients and what they do. I have learned so much in just an hour and am looking forward to learning more. I’m 60 and I am Caucasian but I have an olive skin tone so hyperpigmentation has been an issue for me for a number of years and no wonder many of the products I use are all wrong for me. I have wasted so much money on products that don’t work and there is no one holding these companies accountable for what they are doing. It’s a multi billion dollar industry and like you said very little oversight or regulation. I am so grateful for you channel….I am also across the pond and I am a true fan of yours. Keep up the excellent work we love it!!❤️
Forgot to mention on your videos alone i have came wiser for the sake of my skin and now i know why i have had awful results on just products that promised empty promises , all the money i could have saved . Bless you DR V
Thank you Dr V. Still watching and re-watching all your videos 2 years later. You have changed my life. Enjoying my best skin in my 40s. Thank you a million times over ❤
Dear Dr V as others have said, I too ask you to please continue letting us know the good and bad products in skin care. It does a great service to consumers and to the companies. For this reason, I absolutely would not call these videos negative. I understand why some people might feel this way but appropriate correction and instruction is always a positive thing! Peace.
Love your videos and your honesty. The only person I'd take beauty advise from. You have such a beautiful heart helping others through your hard work and commitment without being pushed into being sponsored. Our No.1 doctor ❤
Dr V speaks on the "not so positive" which I would not even qualify as "negative." Speak the truth. I need to know what is good and what is not good for my skin and most importantly why!
Dr V I'm glad you talked about the "worst"because that's how Life is. Your expertise gives you license to speak on the Good,bad, and Ugly of skincare Period. Thank You 🙌🏾💖
Hi Dr V, Ole Henriksen’s banana bright eye creams is now fragrance-free. There are still some places that stock the scented version but it is now no longer in production.
THIS IS AMAZING! I was also shocked that Sephora had some very crappy skincare stuff! I just got Laneige Firm and Bouncy - not bad! Can you review it? ❤️
Dr.V I hope you’ll consider making an eye cream for makeup application for skin of color, an eye cream for fine lines and wrinkles, and a makeup setting spray with no fragrances or essential oils. I am having a really hard time finding one, especially acne prone skin :(
Dr V , please continue educating us. I (we) need to know about the Good, the Bad and the ugly. That's what educational program are for. Thanks for sharing.
Please continue reviewing the good and bad products. We need to know what products we need to spend our money on and which ones to avoid. I have learned so much from this channel, it has made me a label reader and I thank you for educating me on skincare.
Kenzoki started off as a fragrance brand and it's no wonder that their skincare products are all so fragranced. A lot of real exaggeration of claims! Thanks, Dr V for enlightening us on the problem with these creams and serums which do more harm than good.
Wish I would have found you as a teen, did everything I thought was right but didn’t realize it was actually damaging my skin, always thought that people with lighter skin had to be more careful, in reality when I hit my 30s I noticed all the hyperpigmentation that resulted from my teens years of using products that were harsh and hurting my skin. Would love to see more information on how teens can protect their skin from products that will age them.
Dr. V, PLEASE Don't stop your reviews. I am a skincare novice and learnt so much from your videos. Could you review Korean Skin care products, especially SK II serum and other related products.
I think it’s beneficial to share both - best and worst products because the industry needs to change and for that to happen, we need to know so we can take a stand. Thanks for also point out that Sephora is not listing all ingredients because it’s dishonest and can cause harm to their sensitive skin patrons. What if someone has a serious allergy to one of the ingredients they’ve removed? That’s a dangerous practice. I’ll be double checking ingredients when I shop on Sephora now that I know. Thank you!
Please Dr V Don’t stop, I have notebook and write all the information. I wish I could afford to buy your products but I’m not able to but at least I’m learning from you. You are such an angel and you kind enough to educate us. God bless you always.❤ you. Love❤ Sarvena
Dr. V I say spread loudly about what's not good! Yes, I want to know what's good for my skin. I also want equal knowledge about what's not. You've taught me how to read the INCY list and the importance of doing so! Please keep being YOU! I am greatly appreciative. Thank you.
I follow you suggestions and instructions because as a woman of color and one who likes to stay educated and informed, everything you say is backed by science and research! Unfortunately I have fallen prey to the "lights" & gimmicks of marketing from some of the more well-known companies only to be greatly disappointed. Keep up the fine work! You are appreciated!💯👍🏽👏🏽
Please don't stop being honest. I spent over £200 this year on Dior serum, face cream and make up. I am gutted they are full of fragrance. Due to how much they cost, once they finish I wont be replacing them. I've been telling family and friends about your content, (i recently found your channel) as its so important to be educated about our skin. Thanks for this video, I recently joined Sephora too just my luck on the current reviews....
I LOVE U TELLING US THE TRUTH SO WE DONT FALL FOR EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS THAT INSTEAD OF DOING ANY GOOD CAN DAMAGE OUR SKIN. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US, IT IS MUCH APPRECIATE IT!!
Tavita, you tube suggested your chanel to me a fiew days ago, and since then im watching your videos. And in my modest opinion, it is very easy to sense that youre an inteligent, down to earth person, with the willing to help people, wich i found its such a beautiful thing in a human being. I can totally understand that you dont want to center your content on negativity, but it is absolutely a content that is necesary, because lets face it, most of us knows absolutely nothing about ingredients, quantity, etc. And my budget, for example, is pretty short, and so the information that you share is pure Gold. Dont worry, and please keep giving people a guide of wich products are bad, we need that, because its just simply unfair that so many of this brands sell to people things that are so expensive, knowing whats inside of the bottle and relaying on our ignorance. By the way i used Clarins cremes in the past, they costed me a fortune, very smelly, and i can honestly say my skin ended up with even more spots. Thank you so much for all the information you give, im learning a lot and plus it shows that youre a kind and positive person, so its a delight earing you. Un saludo desde Chile😊
By the way, your reviews are not negative. nor positive. You are just being honest since you have a lot of knowledge about skincare products its good to educate others .so keep doing the good work.
Thanks Dr V! Just wish you had talked through the ingredients of the Protini Polypeptide cream which you recommended (16:19). I've checked the inci list and its extensive but I'm not sure what some of the ingredients do X
The mind blowing outrageous prices for just very basic creams!!!🤯😳 Thank you so much for doing this work. I hope the companies take steps and either match their ingredients with the price or just lower the prices for their very basic creams. Keep up the good fight Dr. V. 👏👏👏😀
Hi Dr V, would be so grateful if you made a video on how to incorporate one or 2 key actives for very sensitive skin that can’t handle loaded products! Thank you x
I just turned 61 and just discovered yr channel. I'm beyond excited.. 😅 😅 😅 It's so going to help manage my retirement funds 😄😄. Viewing from Malaysia (Asian skin 😊😊😊)
I always enjoy and follow your recommendations , the truth is what we want and if it is not a good product I for one thank you for your honesty .you can’t please everyone and being quiet for the sake of positivity is not the advice I am looking for. Be strong and be outspoken
Hi Dr V, do what you do best!!!?telling the truth! That’s why totally 💯 % trust your videos! I had a question about Methylene blue- with anti aging! What’s your take on it!
Dr. V you are educating us, to stop would be a disservice to us as well as to yourself and what you are trying to accomplish! The Truth is what we all need so never apologize for being honest. We thank God for you. ❤❤
Thank you for the information. I love Sephora, but it’s nice to know what to stay away from. As an Esthetician I know to read the ingredient list before buying. In fact, last week I went to Sephora looking for Alpha Arbutin. The corporate representative from Dr. Murad suggested their lightening product. I asked what was it in and she did not know the ingredients!! I read them to her and pointed out the actives (Glycolic Acid and Tranexamic Acid) and explained how they worked. I’m sure she was surprised and slightly embarrassed. I was shocked she didn’t know what was in the products she was selling.
i think it is a diservice not to mention products that are damaging for consumers. you address the issues head on, without bashing the brands which is a skill in itself. love what you do . knowledge is power- please continue Dr V
This is really interesting and in time for black friday, thanks so much Dr V. So glad Sephora has finally come to the UK although I only like the makeup from there. Skin fix is a brand I was curious about as a lot of US youtubers seem to praise it. Although it's unbelievable the Sephora purposely removed the fragrance from the ingredients list, that's so sneaky! That should be reported
Kindly continue your work. If we don't discuss the bad things, how the public be educated to stay away from them? Your work is precious. May God bless you.
I always check ingredients in brand website as I noticed the same thing you noticed dr. V, these multibrand selling websites often have wrong or not updated ingredient list. Great that you called it out. All businesses must be thoughtful about their customers. It’s the right thing to do.
This is fabulous! It's good to be aware of what's really in available products & how consumers are being mislead. Please keep talking. I realize this is an older video, but I hope you've kept going on this subject!
I love you! You are the first completely honest person advising us … I feel I can completely rely on what you are saying!😊. Well done and congratulations on being brave enough to tell the truth ‼️❤️♥️❤️
Dr. V. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO. I've been following you on youtube for quite some time now and always wondered when you would speak up or just stay quiet because would not want to upset anyone. Right on, Dr. V, it's time.... PLEASE! Continue to Include more content like this in your videos to help us get more educated and keep us from paying to get our skin damaged . Thank you!!! ❤
We *do* need to know what’s not good enough so as to help us choose the best for our skin. Including value for money and knowing exactly what we’e paying for and whether our skin actually needs it. I think it’s being wise, there’s nothing negative about that. Why waste money trying things we end up throwing out.
Rip the bandaid off, Dr. V. I was that customer who bought Olehendricks vit C creme for years and wasted money because it never worked. I have thrown my jar away and stopped buying it. Thank you so much for your honest reviews. Integrity is missing in the industry and we need an Angel like yourself to guide us through it. 👩🏽 ✨ ☮️ ❤ and light
I love your channel. You help your viewers with the truth! You have integrity. Keep telling the truth about these products to help people of color. We need you and love you!
Thank you so much. I have brown skin as a Malay from Singapore. Your channel has helped me so much for my skin and my pocket as well. Made me realise I don't need expensive products but more effective ones instead.
I need your channel A channel that gives women of colour somewhere to get the facts‼️Somewhere that educates women on the best products for their skin. I’m a new subscriber and Up until 2 months ago I was obsessed with fragrance! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ 🤦🏾♀️ I can’t be the only one! Hyper pigmentation is like the devil’s work. And women if colour are prone! Companies need to do better! But the common or ordinary every day woman doesn’t have the info. You are a blessing to all of us so please don’t stop for the minority🙏🏽🙏🏽 if people only want the positive let them also subscribe to a range of channels but for women like me if I had to choose just one ☝🏽 this is honestly the only channel for me. I started using the ole eye cream simply because an influencer if colour swore that it brightens the skin and gets rid of hyperpigmentation🤷🏾♀️ I’m glad it’s not the worst lol and I’ve almost finished it so I’ll stick to your recommendations. Call them out and let them reformulate the things we are using on our precious skin. I haven’t got time to correct hyperpigmentation caused FROM products🤷🏾♀️ Thanku 💗
Esthetician from the US ! I enjoy your videos so much! A good balance between what products are good and what aren’t us excellent ! I believe giving both gives us options and also helps us figure out what should not be an option ! Looking forward to more videos 😊
Ive worked in high end beauty for well over 2 decades. Almost 3. And youre so right. These lines do not care. They see $ signs. Consumers have become much more skin savvy and I can see that in store when all my customers are turning the packaging around to look at the ingredient list. Theyre also asking many more questions than even a decade ago. I managed 3 different Sephoras and the only thing I would even think to buy in there is The Ordinary and maybe Paulas Choice although her line is very pricey now.
As always another fantastically informative video. Thank you so much. I've never heard ANY person break skincare down the way you do, which is why I will keep coming back to your channel even though I'm not in your target audience. Your information is useful for everyone and I wish more people broke it all down with your level of analytic clarity. You are a true gem.
Because of you and your channel right now I have the best skin of my life! I love the ordinary I use it in a daily basis I love your integrity and honesty and I wish you all the success and happiness that you shine and reflect on all the woman who needs it . thank you
I use this channel to know what not to use rather than what to use.. because most of the times, she says negative about products.. I have not seen her saying positive about any product.. but it is good to know what not to use..
Please keep making this kind of videos. Everyone should know about these big brands making horrible products and getting away with it because people doesn't have enough knowledge.
This type of video is informative for my decluttering, I definitely want to know the negativs as I feel like we are bombarded with what is good and slot of people are being paid for it so your positive videos are getting lost in a sea of this is good this is good vides- I've just seen you for the first time because this more informative what to avoid was recommended to me but it could have easily been not recommended at all because everyone is doing 'positive focused' video's. I know people don't like negativity but you need to know both negative and positive information to be open-minded about shopping sensibly ❤❤
Hello Dr V It is so true that some cosmetic brands really deceive people with marketing and false INCI list. For me , staying too much positive make others to do negative. Inform positive things as well as negative sound good me. I will support you from my heart. Please go on with your passion project. We all love u a lot ❤ ❤
I would love to see what you recommend and you don’t recommend among products from those brands! Thank you for your honesty and education. I need to rewatch again before I made any shopping.
Thank you so much, I used ole henrickson because of the hype and felt badly that I didn't want to spend the money! Now I am so happy that I didn't thank yo so much for your honest,, real opinion on these products.
I find it hard to trust bigger brands these days.I try to avoid any skincare with fragrance or denatured Alcohol. Slowly I’m trying to get into what the best actives are day and night for my skincare rituals. Ones that I can be consistent and afford over time. I have wondered about this he Augustus Bader creams for a while but I just haven’t been able to bring myslf to spend £240 on a cream or serum! I love myself but that does make me wince! I really appreciate the knowledge you bring and even though I’m Caucasian and not skin of colour I really feel I’m learning a lot about skincare thanks to you!
The thing I like about Bader’s cream was that it did not have Niacinamide, etc in it. It works well with my Tretinoin/Azelaic/niacinamide prescription. It works well on my sensitive, fair skin.
Dr. V could you please review INN Beauty Project!? Their formulas seem to be Dr V approved except for some of their lack of airless pump on their 10+10 cream that's VitC forward, but I think a lot of us would like your confirmation. But my personal goal is to order your products in the near future! My funds have been stressed to the point that when I CAN afford to re-up I need product immediately and I go for what is on the shelf.But God is blessing me by and by so I hope to partake of your wonderful book and products soon!❤️🤞
I love that you are giving me options and highlighting decent products to use. I love skin care but it can be a mind field and it’s great for someone to make it simpler. Thank you :)
Thank you so much! You’re indeed making me unlearn so much that it’s great- esp. how I’d find products with a fragrance more appealing but now I’m just learning to recognise I’m better off without fragrance. I reckon it’s with all skin care products and not just anti-ageing creams. And it’s so easy to get lost in this sea of consumerism lol, your videos are definitely going to make people be prudent with their money (and can start applying the logic to other areas of their life as well: nutrition, clothing, etc).

You keep doing your reviews this way. They aren't negative or positive. They're honest. That's what we need. I had some of the products you reviewed. Now I know why they didn't work. It's Thanksgiving in the states today's. I'm thankful for you 😊. Another great review.
You are so kind 🙏🏽🧡
What you are doing to the cosmetic industry is phenominal and long overdue.
Thank you.

Absolutely shocking. I have the lancôme and felt it made the lines on my forehead worse. I stopped using it and got The Ordinary argiriline and matrixyl instead. A world of a difference. "Because something is expensive doesn't make it good." Thank you Dr V. You're the best.

Thank you! My basket has just emptied! You just saved me from spending over £300 on shameful marketing. Please continue this great series of videos! As a massive beauty product junkie, I’ve given myself months and months of contact dermatitis just from believing the influencers/gumpf, parted with a ton of money and most of ‘22 has been spent trying to fix my face.

Could you please do a vedeo on anti-aging and pigmentation complete routine

AS A 52 YEAR OLD WOMAN, THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY!
Love the way Dr. V is exposing all these expensive brands and their wrong way to formulate their products. Please keep killing it! ❤can you please talk about Jenifer Lopez skincare products? Abrazos!
Keep doing this because people have the right to know what they r putting on their skin ! Expecting more such videos …
🙏🏽🧡
These are positive videos bc you are providing tutorials that are saving people time and money! You don't slag off companies. You urge them to do better and teach us how to see through the marketing. Bless you.
🙏🏽🧡
I am glad to see someone speaking out about the bad products that cost so much. As a health care professional you should be ethical and not be bribed by money. I know the influencers need to make money, but should not do so at the cost of causing harm. Most of them are not clinical, so there may be some ignorance. However, there are many that have tried the products and know they do not work, but continue to swear by it. I hope other physicians/providers will be as honest as you are. Thank you for the information and continue to share.
Disturbing that some of the ingredients were removed from the INCI list. This video is a great education. Please continue to call out these brands so that we know what to spend our money on.

Hi there, I just found your channel today while trying to research products I am considering purchasing. Finding someone who is a professional, knowledgeable, candid and honest about these products is a breath of fresh air. Please keep doing these videos! Consumers are being duped by pretty packaging, influencers, and hype that’s being shoved in front of us on the daily. I SO appreciate your knowledge and what you share with your viewers and the breakdown of the ingredients is super helpful. You read these labels and it’s all Greek and you have no idea what is good or bad. I have binge watched several of your videos and I am going to start writing down some of the ingredients and what they do. I have learned so much in just an hour and am looking forward to learning more. I’m 60 and I am Caucasian but I have an olive skin tone so hyperpigmentation has been an issue for me for a number of years and no wonder many of the products I use are all wrong for me. I have wasted so much money on products that don’t work and there is no one holding these companies accountable for what they are doing. It’s a multi billion dollar industry and like you said very little oversight or regulation. I am so grateful for you channel….I am also across the pond and I am a true fan of yours. Keep up the excellent work we love it!!❤️
Forgot to mention on your videos alone i have came wiser for the sake of my skin and now i know why i have had awful results on just products that promised empty promises , all the money i could have saved . Bless you DR V
🙏🏽🧡
Thank you Dr V. Still watching and re-watching all your videos 2 years later. You have changed my life. Enjoying my best skin in my 40s. Thank you a million times over ❤
Dear Dr V as others have said, I too ask you to please continue letting us know the good and bad products in skin care. It does a great service to consumers and to the companies. For this reason, I absolutely would not call these videos negative. I understand why some people might feel this way but appropriate correction and instruction is always a positive thing! Peace.
🙏🏽🧡🧡
Love your videos and your honesty. The only person I'd take beauty advise from.
You have such a beautiful heart helping others through your hard work and commitment without being pushed into being sponsored. Our No.1 doctor ❤
Thankyou 🙏🏽🧡
Dr V speaks on the "not so positive" which I would not even qualify as "negative." Speak the truth. I need to know what is good and what is not good for my skin and most importantly why!
Dr V I'm glad you talked about the "worst"because that's how Life is. Your expertise gives you license to speak on the Good,bad, and Ugly of skincare Period. Thank You 🙌🏾💖
Hi Dr V, Ole Henriksen’s banana bright eye creams is now fragrance-free. There are still some places that stock the scented version but it is now no longer in production.
THIS IS AMAZING! I was also shocked that Sephora had some very crappy skincare stuff! I just got Laneige Firm and Bouncy - not bad! Can you review it? ❤️
Dr.V I hope you’ll consider making an eye cream for makeup application for skin of color, an eye cream for fine lines and wrinkles, and a makeup setting spray with no fragrances or essential oils. I am having a really hard time finding one, especially acne prone skin :(
Dr V , please continue educating us.
I (we) need to know about the Good, the Bad and the ugly.
That's what educational program are for.
Thanks for sharing.
🙏🏽🧡
Please continue reviewing the good and bad products. We need to know what products we need to spend our money on and which ones to avoid. I have learned so much from this channel, it has made me a label reader and I thank you for educating me on skincare.
Kenzoki started off as a fragrance brand and it's no wonder that their skincare products are all so fragranced. A lot of real exaggeration of claims! Thanks, Dr V for enlightening us on the problem with these creams and serums which do more harm than good.
Wish I would have found you as a teen, did everything I thought was right but didn’t realize it was actually damaging my skin, always thought that people with lighter skin had to be more careful, in reality when I hit my 30s I noticed all the hyperpigmentation that resulted from my teens years of using products that were harsh and hurting my skin. Would love to see more information on how teens can protect their skin from products that will age them.
Dr. V, PLEASE Don't stop your reviews. I am a skincare novice and learnt so much from your videos. Could you review Korean Skin care products, especially SK II serum and other related products.
I think it’s beneficial to share both - best and worst products because the industry needs to change and for that to happen, we need to know so we can take a stand. Thanks for also point out that Sephora is not listing all ingredients because it’s dishonest and can cause harm to their sensitive skin patrons. What if someone has a serious allergy to one of the ingredients they’ve removed? That’s a dangerous practice. I’ll be double checking ingredients when I shop on Sephora now that I know. Thank you!
I had 3 bottles of the clarins in a basket. For over 350$ out of desperation. I am So happy i found Dr V now back to the video 🤗
Please Dr V Don’t stop, I have notebook and write all the information. I wish I could afford to buy your products but I’m not able to but at least I’m learning from you. You are such an angel and you kind enough to educate us. God bless you always.❤ you.
Love❤
Sarvena
I’m white skinned but you’ve videos are great for my skin also gives me loads of information to make sure lm using good products . X
Thank you for having a conscience and helping us to make sound judgments when making a purchase that may not be good for us.
🙏🏽🧡
Dr. V I say spread loudly about what's not good! Yes, I want to know what's good for my skin. I also want equal knowledge about what's not. You've taught me how to read the INCY list and the importance of doing so! Please keep being YOU! I am greatly appreciative. Thank you.
Please continue with real and honest reviews u are saving skin lives and our coins thank you
I follow you suggestions and instructions because as a woman of color and one who likes to stay educated and informed, everything you say is backed by science and research! Unfortunately I have fallen prey to the "lights" & gimmicks of marketing from some of the more well-known companies only to be greatly disappointed. Keep up the fine work! You are appreciated!💯👍🏽👏🏽
Please don't stop being honest. I spent over £200 this year on Dior serum, face cream and make up. I am gutted they are full of fragrance. Due to how much they cost, once they finish I wont be replacing them. I've been telling family and friends about your content, (i recently found your channel) as its so important to be educated about our skin. Thanks for this video, I recently joined Sephora too just my luck on the current reviews....
🙏🏽🧡
I LOVE U TELLING US THE TRUTH SO WE DONT FALL FOR EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS THAT INSTEAD OF DOING ANY GOOD CAN DAMAGE OUR SKIN. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US, IT IS MUCH APPRECIATE IT!!
Tavita, you tube suggested your chanel to me a fiew days ago, and since then im watching your videos. And in my modest opinion, it is very easy to sense that youre an inteligent, down to earth person, with the willing to help people, wich i found its such a beautiful thing in a human being. I can totally understand that you dont want to center your content on negativity, but it is absolutely a content that is necesary, because lets face it, most of us knows absolutely nothing about ingredients, quantity, etc. And my budget, for example, is pretty short, and so the information that you share is pure Gold. Dont worry, and please keep giving people a guide of wich products are bad, we need that, because its just simply unfair that so many of this brands sell to people things that are so expensive, knowing whats inside of the bottle and relaying on our ignorance. By the way i used Clarins cremes in the past, they costed me a fortune, very smelly, and i can honestly say my skin ended up with even more spots. Thank you so much for all the information you give, im learning a lot and plus it shows that youre a kind and positive person, so its a delight earing you. Un saludo desde Chile😊
By the way, your reviews are not negative. nor positive. You are just being honest since you have a lot of knowledge about skincare products its good to educate others .so keep doing the good work.
Don’t stop!!! You are saving me soooo much money and keeping my skin healthier. Love your channel
Thanks Dr V! Just wish you had talked through the ingredients of the Protini Polypeptide cream which you recommended (16:19). I've checked the inci list and its extensive but I'm not sure what some of the ingredients do X
Just when I thought I couldn’t appreciate this women anymore 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👏👏
☺️🙏🏽🧡
The mind blowing outrageous prices for just very basic creams!!!🤯😳
Thank you so much for doing this work. I hope the companies take steps and either match their ingredients with the price or just lower the prices for their very basic creams.
Keep up the good fight Dr. V. 👏👏👏😀
Hi Dr V, would be so grateful if you made a video on how to incorporate one or 2 key actives for very sensitive skin that can’t handle loaded products! Thank you x
Will do x
I just turned 61 and just discovered yr channel. I'm beyond excited.. 😅 😅 😅 It's so going to help manage my retirement funds 😄😄. Viewing from Malaysia (Asian skin 😊😊😊)
I always enjoy and follow your recommendations , the truth is what we want and if it is not a good product I for one thank you for your honesty .you can’t please everyone and being quiet for the sake of positivity is not the advice I am looking for. Be strong and be outspoken
Hi Dr V, do what you do best!!!?telling the truth! That’s why totally 💯 % trust your videos! I had a question about Methylene blue- with anti aging! What’s your take on it!
best channel on skincare ( besides doctorly)😍😍😍😍😍 !! soooo glad that I found you..ESPECIALLY for (honest) reviews like this
Dr. V you are educating us, to stop would be a disservice to us as well as to yourself and what you are trying to accomplish! The Truth is what we all need so never apologize for being honest. We thank God for you. ❤❤
Thank you for the information. I love Sephora, but it’s nice to know what to stay away from. As an Esthetician I know to read the ingredient list before buying. In fact, last week I went to Sephora looking for Alpha Arbutin. The corporate representative from Dr. Murad suggested their lightening product. I asked what was it in and she did not know the ingredients!! I read them to her and pointed out the actives (Glycolic Acid and Tranexamic Acid) and explained how they worked. I’m sure she was surprised and slightly embarrassed. I was shocked she didn’t know what was in the products she was selling.
i think it is a diservice not to mention products that are damaging for consumers. you address the issues head on, without bashing the brands which is a skill in itself. love what you do .
knowledge is power- please continue Dr V
Thankyou 🙏🏽🧡
💚💜💙U Doctor V, glad I found your channel🥰
This is really interesting and in time for black friday, thanks so much Dr V. So glad Sephora has finally come to the UK although I only like the makeup from there. Skin fix is a brand I was curious about as a lot of US youtubers seem to praise it. Although it's unbelievable the Sephora purposely removed the fragrance from the ingredients list, that's so sneaky! That should be reported
Kindly continue your work. If we don't discuss the bad things, how the public be educated to stay away from them? Your work is precious. May God bless you.
Keep speaking up Dr. V. The SOC Fam needs this type of knowledge 🙏🏽
YES, been using it for 50 years,im 68, my skin is great !
Which one
I always check ingredients in brand website as I noticed the same thing you noticed dr. V, these multibrand selling websites often have wrong or not updated ingredient list. Great that you called it out. All businesses must be thoughtful about their customers. It’s the right thing to do.
This is fabulous! It's good to be aware of what's really in available products & how consumers are being mislead. Please keep talking. I realize this is an older video, but I hope you've kept going on this subject!
I love you! You are the first completely honest person advising us … I feel I can completely rely on what you are saying!😊. Well done and congratulations on being brave enough to tell the truth ‼️❤️♥️❤️
Truth is positive, regardless of people's reaction...
Dr. V. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO. I've been following you on youtube for quite some time now and always wondered when you would speak up or just stay quiet because would not want to upset anyone. Right on, Dr. V, it's time.... PLEASE! Continue to Include more content like this in your videos to help us get more educated and keep us from paying to get our skin damaged . Thank you!!! ❤
🙏🏽
We *do* need to know what’s not good enough so as to help us choose the best for our skin. Including value for money and knowing exactly what we’e paying for and whether our skin actually needs it. I think it’s being wise, there’s nothing negative about that. Why waste money trying things we end up throwing out.
Rip the bandaid off, Dr. V. I was that customer who bought Olehendricks vit C creme for years and wasted money because it never worked. I have thrown my jar away and stopped buying it. Thank you so much for your honest reviews. Integrity is missing in the industry and we need an Angel like yourself to guide us through it. 👩🏽 ✨
☮️ ❤ and light
Yeah I prefer the majority to be what’s good. Only occasionally what to avoid
I love your channel. You help your viewers with the truth! You have integrity. Keep telling the truth about these products to help people of color. We need you and love you!
Thank you so much. I have brown skin as a Malay from Singapore. Your channel has helped me so much for my skin and my pocket as well. Made me realise I don't need expensive products but more effective ones instead.
I need your channel
A channel that gives women of colour somewhere to get the facts‼️Somewhere that educates women on the best products for their skin. I’m a new subscriber and Up until 2 months ago I was obsessed with fragrance! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ 🤦🏾♀️
I can’t be the only one! Hyper pigmentation is like the devil’s work. And women if colour are prone!
Companies need to do better!
But the common or ordinary every day woman doesn’t have the info.
You are a blessing to all of us so please don’t stop for the minority🙏🏽🙏🏽 if people only want the positive let them also subscribe to a range of channels but for women like me if I had to choose just one ☝🏽 this is honestly the only channel for me. I started using the ole eye cream simply because an influencer if colour swore that it brightens the skin and gets rid of hyperpigmentation🤷🏾♀️
I’m glad it’s not the worst lol and I’ve almost finished it so I’ll stick to your recommendations.
Call them out and let them reformulate the things we are using on our precious skin. I haven’t got time to correct hyperpigmentation caused FROM products🤷🏾♀️
Thanku 💗
Esthetician from the US ! I enjoy your videos so much! A good balance between what products are good and what aren’t us excellent ! I believe giving both gives us options and also helps us figure out what should not be an option ! Looking forward to more videos 😊
Ive worked in high end beauty for well over 2 decades. Almost 3. And youre so right. These lines do not care. They see $ signs. Consumers have become much more skin savvy and I can see that in store when all my customers are turning the packaging around to look at the ingredient list. Theyre also asking many more questions than even a decade ago. I managed 3 different Sephoras and the only thing I would even think to buy in there is The Ordinary and maybe Paulas Choice although her line is very pricey now.
Was about to buy a costly cream which had good reviews. Stumbled upon your video. Got a better product at one third the price. Great work.
As always another fantastically informative video. Thank you so much. I've never heard ANY person break skincare down the way you do, which is why I will keep coming back to your channel even though I'm not in your target audience. Your information is useful for everyone and I wish more people broke it all down with your level of analytic clarity. You are a true gem.
Because of you and your channel right now I have the best skin of my life! I love the ordinary I use it in a daily basis I love your integrity and honesty and I wish you all the success and happiness that you shine and reflect on all the woman who needs it .
thank you
I use this channel to know what not to use rather than what to use.. because most of the times, she says negative about products.. I have not seen her saying positive about any product.. but it is good to know what not to use..
Don't stop! Love your work.
Please keep making this kind of videos. Everyone should know about these big brands making horrible products and getting away with it because people doesn't have enough knowledge.
🙏🏽🧡
This type of video is informative for my decluttering, I definitely want to know the negativs as I feel like we are bombarded with what is good and slot of people are being paid for it so your positive videos are getting lost in a sea of this is good this is good vides- I've just seen you for the first time because this more informative what to avoid was recommended to me but it could have easily been not recommended at all because everyone is doing 'positive focused' video's. I know people don't like negativity but you need to know both negative and positive information to be open-minded about shopping sensibly ❤❤
Hello Dr V
It is so true that some cosmetic brands really deceive people with marketing and false INCI list. For me , staying too much positive make others to do negative. Inform positive things as well as negative sound good me. I will support you from my heart. Please go on with your passion project. We all love u a lot ❤ ❤
🙏🏽🧡
Tell us about the negative products continually. Thanks!
I would love to see what you recommend and you don’t recommend among products from those brands! Thank you for your honesty and education. I need to rewatch again before I made any shopping.
Any thoughts about Japanese brands like tatcha , Sk2, …. and Korean brands.
Thank you for this video. I no longer shop at "that" store.
Please keep doing these kinds of videos.
Thank you so much, I used ole henrickson because of the hype and felt badly that I didn't want to spend the money! Now I am so happy that I didn't thank yo so much for your honest,, real opinion on these products.
🙏🏽🧡
I find it hard to trust bigger brands these days.I try to avoid any skincare with fragrance or denatured Alcohol. Slowly I’m trying to get into what the best actives are day and night for my skincare rituals. Ones that I can be consistent and afford over time. I have wondered about this he Augustus Bader creams for a while but I just haven’t been able to bring myslf to spend £240 on a cream or serum! I love myself but that does make me wince! I really appreciate the knowledge you bring and even though I’m Caucasian and not skin of colour I really feel I’m learning a lot about skincare thanks to you!
Just a big thank u for caring about people and its not about money like the rest of them
The thing I like about Bader’s cream was that it did not have Niacinamide, etc in it. It works well with my Tretinoin/Azelaic/niacinamide prescription. It works well on my sensitive, fair skin.
Dr. V could you please review INN Beauty Project!? Their formulas seem to be Dr V approved except for some of their lack of airless pump on their 10+10 cream that's VitC forward, but I think a lot of us would like your confirmation. But my personal goal is to order your products in the near future! My funds have been stressed to the point that when I CAN afford to re-up I need product immediately and I go for what is on the shelf.But God is blessing me by and by so I hope to partake of your wonderful book and products soon!❤️🤞
I love that you are giving me options and highlighting decent products to use. I love skin care but it can be a mind field and it’s great for someone to make it simpler. Thank you :)
Thank you so much! You’re indeed making me unlearn so much that it’s great- esp. how I’d find products with a fragrance more appealing but now I’m just learning to recognise I’m better off without fragrance. I reckon it’s with all skin care products and not just anti-ageing creams. And it’s so easy to get lost in this sea of consumerism lol, your videos are definitely going to make people be prudent with their money (and can start applying the logic to other areas of their life as well: nutrition, clothing, etc).
🙏🏽🧡
