Wash with unfragrance wash 2. Use your tyrosinase inhibitors and skin soothers 3. Add a fatty moisturizer for a nice healing environment for your skin.11:26 Points to note. Apply for 3 to 6 months to see great change..do not expect immediate results since the skin has been hyper pigmented for decades. Be patient.11:41 If you don't notice any change, upgrade to Dr.V's kit though it's costly. 10:12
Please I’m a bit confused; Do you put on the tyrosinase inhibitors (e.g niacinamide) before the skin soothers(e.g Aloe)? Or u just have to choose between the two?? Please help. Thanks 🙏
Just wanted to share that your facial pigmentation kit is awesome. It’s been over a month and I see results. Thank you for inventing it. It’s so much better using your cream and sunscreen over doing abrasive chemical peels every month
Also, I have my pen and paper out talking notes, first let me say thank you for not pushing your created products onto us and allowing us to make the choice for ourselves! Makes me want to purchase that much more! Keep up the good and honest work Dr.V!
Imagine a deodrant that also reduces hyperpigmentation. I know this would be extremely difficult to make due to people shaving etc but DR V.....an idea lol
@@vanitarattan pls reply nowadays iam seeing lot of people using ordinary glycolic acid... Is it too harsh for tanning or hyperpigmentation for any areas in our body...
Not even kidding I bought this for my dark underarms due to shaving and god knows what other reasons because it's hard to get sun exposure in that area to begin with. But holy cow 🙌 hands down the best product I've ever used. The yellow cream and the repair white cream came in the kit helped my darkest spots in the armpits vanish. I used it for a month before I saw drastic changes and then I continued for 3 more months and I absolutely love the results. Now the darkest parts have blended in with my rest of the skin color which is Indian brown. I will keep using it and if some product is left at the end I'll try it on my neck and around my mouth 👄 oh and I stopped wearing antiperspirant or deo because I hardly get any sweat there after using her product. I don't know if it's for good or bad but I absolutely love to flaunt in my sleeveless blouses 💃 An UPDATE: I STOPPED USING THE CREAMS AND THE DARK SPOTS ARE BACK BUT NOT AD DARK AS BEFORE. I RECOMMEND USING IT LONGER THAN 3 MONTHS. I NEED TO BUY MORE BUT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE!!
I have been having itchy under arms due to anti perspirants and now I started using my handmade deodorants n its superb...it is made with Shea Butter, Almond Oil, Arrowroot Powder, n Baking soda and the percentage is very minimal. It is perfectly with me
Thank you so much for this! I'm white, veryyyyy Irish white. But after my 4 kids, I've had very noticeable hyperpigmentation changes in my underarms and crotch area. After dealing unsuccesfully with it for a year now, I finally got so frustrated I vented to my melanin blassed fam about it. Besides all their other good recs, my cousin Chinae mentioned your channel and said she's found it really helpful. And here it is, the exact vid I needed, thank you Universe
I truly appreciate how raw and honest you are. When you are desperate for results, you can really get caught up on videos that talk about results in a few weeks or even one month. I am so happy I found your channel and I really love the transparency
Thanks for this presentation. Underarms are never discussed and yet we have so much issues. I use Little Seeds Farm unscented deodorant. It is a cream with arrowroot powder, jojoba, coconut, magnesium hydroxide, vegetable glycerin, and beewax. It is so soothing after shaving. I like it because all the issues I had using standard deodorant was instantly resolved. I with there was more unscented/fragrance free cream deodorants that deal with underarm skin issues.
What antiperspirants would you recommend? Also what concentrations of the actives in the night are ok? Other than sodium bi carbonate should we avoid any other ingredients?
Dr V. I absolutely love you and all your videos. Last year I had a really bad reaction from a chemical that left me feeling like I was ugly let me just be honest. For months I struggled trying to recover because I never had bad acne like that until after the peel. Plus I have oily skin. After following you my skin improved drastically talking about dark spots are disappearing and face clearing up. I been getting compliments on how my skin cleared up. So thank you for UA-cam page you never let me down.
Haha! I love this, how we all wait for your videos and comments rush for "1 hour at the launch of every video"! It's like the SOC club, where we all there raw and rustic for one another, helping out each other. And you are like our Guardian Angel! Thankyou so much for everything you do, Dr. V! :)
My Skin pigmentation kit arrived a few days ago. I'll be ordering another 2 to ensure that I have enough for a 3-6 month cycle. Thank you for explaining that this is a PROCESS and to not expect results only after a few applications.
I was using natural deodorants for years and my underarm get itchy occasionally. I switched to a NAFE safe anti-perspirant by Simple after listening to your advice and it was the best decision ever. Thank you 😊
You just gained a new subscriber in less than 10seconds when you immediately explained your channel is for skin of color. Kudos! I can't wait to see more of your videos.
I have used Garnier mineral antiperspirant roll on for years and works perfectly. In the night I use tea tree oil , but I think the biggest difference because I also stopped shaving only Waxing under arm, Thanks for this video, coming from an expert would help to convince my daughter to stop shaving with razor.
Hi, Doctor V, I was wondering if you could make a video of cheap products that you recommend to purchase for under arm pigmentation? I know you listed a couple like The Oridinary, but it would be so helpful if we got a list of more, since I'm a little nervous to go try a bunch of products that might just make things worse.
Hello Dr.V! I was really hoping for a video on the brand Tula! And if, these products that claim to have probiotics, are actually beneficial to the skin. Thanks for ALL that you do, you have helped me become a very informed consumer and changed the way I shop! I now look at the ingredients instead of what the product claims to do. 🙌🏽❤🙌🏽
I had a dark brown patch on my underarms after i wore clavicle belt for like more than 3 months cz of my clavicle fracture and i tried many things but nothing worked and one day i decided to use Niacinamide 10% from minimalist and i actually observed changes after 15 days.. It worked for me.
Yr videos r so relevant and eye opener many times...Thanks for empowering us Dr V. N yeah Dr If you could pls address some of my other concerns.. 1. Skin care during and after 15-20 kg of weight loss in late 30s or early 40s 2. Skin care for 10 year girls when they are going through many hormonal changes and Skin also tend to be extra sensitive 3. Deep pigmentation on elbow and knee
Hi Dr V! So you literally put serums like alpha arbutin and niacinamide under your arms after showering, before deodorant? Trying to wrap my head around putting serums there!
Hello Dr. V! I’ve saved your The Ordinary layering videos for reference. They are however months old now. Do you have any updates or changes you need to advise on these routines?
Thank you Doctor V. Pls would you be able to do a video on skin tags and moles as more and more skin of colour people are getting it. Thanks a lot for all that you for the community.
Thank you for explaining natural deodorants. I have tried to use them but it has been causing rash and irritation. I am going back to my antiperspirant.
Dr V, can you please do a video on Geek and Gorgeous. They have affordable products and fantastic formulations. They have alse have RENTINAL and Azelaic acid products that has super rare to find.
Hello Dr Rattan, would your recommend using all three (alpha arburin, niacinamide and tranexamic acid) or just one then moisturize? Thank you in advance.
My armpits burned around 2007/8 from using spray deodorant once n I burnt n got boils, I have been struggling to get rid of the dark mark's for year's now..Thank you for all the knowledge, I can't wait to get all product's you advice for my poor armpits
Thank you Dr V.. This video has come like a life saver.. I have been suffering with dark underarms for last 15 years tried so many creams, natural deodorants, home remedies but nothing helped. I just got your Pigmentation kit and started 2 days ago.. I'm hoping to have a life changing experience. Please kindly tell me which anti perspirants i can use that won't cause darkening or irritation. Pleasr do let me know. Thank you and God bless you for saving people's lives 😊❤️🙏😘
Thank you for the video! But what about Azelaic Acid? AA is also a Tyrosinase-inhibitor, is there a reason it’s not in the list? Or is it less potent than the mentioned ingredients? (Btw, which T-inhibitor is the most potent/effective?)
Hi Dr V!! I Finally MADE IT to your "ask questions" within the 1 hr of your post!!! YEHHHH I am mix with Chinese/Korean and will be 30 yrs old the end of this year. 😵 I have always suffered from having a lot of blackheads in my t-zone, whites bumps underneath my chin, and I got a lot of what looks like sunspots/freckles on my cheek bones, as well, little bumps around the corner of both my jaw. Luckily, I never suffer from acnes but my skin is VERY dwell. Can you please advise some products (can be purchased in Canada) on what I should do to fix my current problems, so I can maintain my skin (like yours) as I get older. Would you also consider to do a video series dedicated to different age groups ( 30's, 40's, 50's) on how should she/he take care the skin day and night, plus treat routines (weekly or monthly) and what ARE /AREN'T necessary products to use. Thank you this wonderful video and sharing your great knowledge with us to help spread the words onto the next generation!! Love from Canada!! 😊😊🤗
I don't want to feel insecure about it. I shouldn't be insecure about it. Its the colour of my natural skin and I am not white. But im upset that I am insecure over it.
Dr can you please review the my topicals faded cream for hyperpigmentation in skin of colour. Which form of hyperpigmentation it helps ? And which body parts can it be used upon?
God sent angel to help me with my biggest insecurities🥺, u even don't think how much obsessed I am with ur videos and ur voice,❤️ I think I need help of psychologist to help me deal with my addiction....for ur videos..😅😘, thanks for everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good day Dr. Will like to ask, do u mean when applying the tyrosine inhibitors we can use different products layering one or 2 after the other or we are to use just 1 among tyrosinase product? Thanks for your kind help.
Hey Dr as 10%AHA are safe for skin but in market there are no such serum available but I found dot &key hydro peel 10%AHA2%BHA but the only issue is that it has parfum in it so I can't buy as 19year old can I opt for 20-25% AHA will it be safe or can u recommend some ather active for face exfoliation ....or shoud i buy the dot& key one?????
Please as requested by many could you please review brands and recommend products from them- Kora Organics, Earth Rythm, Dr. Sheths (new line), Suganda, Be Minimalist, Daughter of Earth, Just Herbs, Juicy Chemistry.
Hi Dr.Vanita, can you tell me if my night-time routine with AlphaArbutin HA+ exaglow serum+ Azelaic acid 10 suspension will help reduce hyperpigmentation?? Is it not too much of layering.. Should I skip azelaic?? Lots of love from France 🥰😘
Just wanted to say thanks to you because you are not just giving advices but you are empowering us in the choice of our skincare. So thank you because all your explanations really helped with my acne.
Hi, thank you for your work and honest advice. I'm from Toronto and my question is have you done any research on NIOD products. Currently I'm using Ordinary for the past 6-8 months. They're okay, however I'd like to know if it's worth moving up to NIOD. I'm olive skin, so not in brown categories and not caucasian...
Dr v Thank you so much for all your videos. Very informative they are indeed. Any ideas to reduce the look of spider veins n vericose veins on the skin Many thanks in advance 🙏
This is great advice. Thanks so much. ALWAYS be gentle with your underarms. The skin is delicate! LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL diluted with natural oils is my go-to. I had a product designed that's now available for sale.
Hi Dr.Vanita, can you tell me if my night-time routine with AlphaArbutin HA+ exaglow serum+ Azelaic acid 10 suspension will help reduce hyperpigmentation?? Lots of love from France 🥰😘
Dr V. I've heard that some sweating under the arm is good, so only to use a deodorant vs an antiperspirant...your thoughts? So should we be doing both blocking both odor and sweat from happening?
I HAVE A QUESTION, at minute 6:14, do we have to use all of those things together, or one of those will do? Because I've seen you do lists like that all the time and I'm always confused bout wether or not we should use them together or just choose one?
Thank you so much, I feel that people of color don’t matter and as a 51year African American female that has spent thousands of dollars on Dermatology you are a God sent s Thanks for sharing
Hello, Dr. V! I recently came across your UA-cam channel and I got obsessed as I am so much into skincare. And ever since, I’ve started to purchase products from CeraVe. There’s this one video where you listed products for oily skin along with a giveaway. It was supposed to be a step/by-step process but it felt confusing as I am more accustomed to “cleanse, tone, moisturize” as a simple process or check list for skincare. That video didn’t include toning so I assumed that if you have to tone, you should follow “cleanse, tone, exfoliate”? I wish there is one video for skin care for oily skin and oily skin only, not oily/acne. If it has to be that way, then maybe perhaps we should establish that treatments and routines for oily skin and oily acne-prone skin are one and the same, unless that’s not the case. After the video I mentioned, I was able to order the CeraVe SA cleanser you mentioned in it and I wish I would know what toner to use afterwards. Or I wish I would know from you the best daily care for a person with oily skin only. And yes I am a person of color. I love all your work. I hope you can help me. ~ RIRI BITES
Thank you so much ma'am.. Ma'am few years back my sister had done bleeching on my underarm... And after that my underarms has become velvety dark.. I've tried everything.. I mean home remedies, scrubbing but nothing really worked.. What sud i do? Can this be changed at all?
This is such an informative video on how to treat underarm pigmentation for people with brown or black skin! Another product to consider is DermalMD Intimate Lightening Cream. It's specifically designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, and can help to lighten and even out the skin tone in the underarm area. Thanks for sharing your expertise, Doctor V!
Are the ingredients you mentioned to be used alone? For example, by aloe, can i use aloe gel? Or did you mean for me to look for products containing those ingredients? I just bought the Hada Labo toner/lotion for hyperpigmentation (blue bottle) and was wondering if that would work for underarms too?
Thank you Dr. Vanita Rattan so much for this video. I didn't even think to check to see if the blades I were shaving with had nickel in it. I'm very allergic to nickel. I usually check jewelry for nickel, but not razors. I also had to stop using Dove deodorant because I was experiencing swelling in the lymph nodes under my arms. I just started using Lume unscented natural deodorant and it helped. Have you ever tried that deodorant? I will use the suggestions you said in the video to treat the discoloration under my arms. Thank you again☺❤
SOMEHOW I have hyperpigmentation on my face but not under my arms, but I’m finding this video useful for the dark corners of my mouth (def a big issue for me aside from brown marks that follow my acne). I plan on using vitamin A/tyrosinase inhibitors for that.
@ Dr Vanita rattan thank you soo much for sharing your hard earned knowledge over years with us. mam can you please share your views regarding dry brushing for cellulite
Hey Is it okay to use skin bleaching kits for instant results- good brands like vlcc or jolen? Or any brand u suggest? I have persistent acanthosis nigricans but i want to be able to wear summer clothes🤭 which is embarrassing. I am working on my glucose management but that is a long term solution. Thankss alott, you rock🔥
I really wanted this video to say something about ‘waxing’ (this might have been covered on the part of ‘inflammation as a causative’ ..but really it confuses me every time I think of getting rid of underarms hair, which one at least does not worsen the darkening ..shave, wax, laser (which most literatures seem to mention as a solution - and not so much of a solution for really dark skinned people
I would be afraid to use some of the products you suggested for the underarm. I have horrible hyperpigmentation under my arms. I know that you have to be VERY careful with what you put under your arms due to the ingredients traveling straight into the breast tissue. A lot of women apply deodorant under their arms as soon as they have showered when their pores are wide open…😵💫 DANGEROUS! So please help me understand why it isn’t dangerous to apply these products under our armpits if they are not natural products….
Glad that you came up with a solution but it’s insanely costly. if this is a new product, I would suggest to keep the price bit low so more people can buy it @DrV
i keep seeing people rave about using glycolic acid on their underarms and had amazing results, even for those with skin of colour. i was kinds skeptical about it. but if it does actually work for some people, does it just mean that the results of using glycolic acid underarm differs from person to person and not that it won’t work for people with skin of colour ?
Great video. Thank you Question please: Is it ok to use skin whitening to get rid of dark knees and elbows, then once desired tone (lighter brown to match) is reached, to maintain that tone and not get lighter can i stop and just continue with a brightener to help it stay that colour? Also i am going on holiday, i know i will Tan but before i go is it 9k to use AHA lotion (fair & white brand) on my skin before i go and in holiday to keep my skin glowing chocolate? I am taking SPF50
Thanks for this video, Dr V. Lots of great information as usual. I've been switching between The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin and using Superdrug's tranexamic acid from their own-brand range called Me+, which has a lot of different options of serums too. Would you be able to review this collection please? I want to know if you think their tranexamic acid, in particular, is effective or as effective as the Inkey List's. It would be great to know as they're more accessible and are usually on offer but also are also at an affordable price of £8.99. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if I would get reply now .. can you please tell me should I use niacinamide and saliycic acid together?? If not can I use niacinamide in morning after cleansing, toner and than moisturizer and spf ( but twice a week) and salicylic acid at night after cleansing moisturizing and than after applying salicylic acid again moisturizing (but once in a week) and can I use vitamin C with niacinamide ?? Because I daily use vitamin C .. please do reply me i have oily acne prone skin and i have breakouts blackheads and uneven texture and it i am really fed up of it ... Please do help me mam

Dr V- Are there specific deodorants or antiperspirants you'd recommend that are non cancerous and won't cause hyperpigmentation?
Why do you think they cause cancer
I think she mentioned Boots Deo Spray for men, sensitive and unperfumed antiperspirant. I've been using that for a month now and no issues!
I only use natural deodorant (free from aluminum, parabens and baking soda) the brand called Prim Botanicals Deodorant.
@@mariamfares1065 she said not to use natural deos cause they contain perfume which irritates skin. Anti perspirants are the best

Dr V, can you please do a video on Geek and Gorgeous. They have affordable products and fantastic formulations. They have alse have RENTINAL and Azelaic acid products that has super rare to find.
Absolutely
I use the hydroquinone and retinoid (hydroquinone 2% and tretinoin 0.025%) compound and my underarm is getting back to be good as new.
Hello Dr Rattan, would your recommend using all three (alpha arburin, niacinamide and tranexamic acid) or just one then moisturize? Thank you in advance.
I wish your products were affordable

Thank you for this comment❤️❤️.
@@mwayiprudencemsokera3695 😂😂😂That one yona doesn’t even need a dermatologist, you can just see that it’s a no no 🙈🙈.
Thank you for the video! But what about Azelaic Acid? AA is also a Tyrosinase-inhibitor, is there a reason it’s not in the list? Or is it less potent than the mentioned ingredients? (Btw, which T-inhibitor is the most potent/effective?)
Hi Dr V!!
I Finally MADE IT to your "ask questions" within the 1 hr of your post!!! YEHHHH
I am mix with Chinese/Korean and will be 30 yrs old the end of this year. 😵
I have always suffered from having a lot of blackheads in my t-zone, whites bumps underneath my chin, and I got a lot of what looks like sunspots/freckles on my cheek bones, as well, little bumps around the corner of both my jaw. Luckily, I never suffer from acnes but my skin is VERY dwell. Can you please advise some products (can be purchased in Canada) on what I should do to fix my current problems, so I can maintain my skin (like yours) as I get older.
Would you also consider to do a video series dedicated to different age groups ( 30's, 40's, 50's) on how should she/he take care the skin day and night, plus treat routines (weekly or monthly) and what ARE /AREN'T necessary products to use.
Thank you this wonderful video and sharing your great knowledge with us to help spread the words onto the next generation!!
Love from Canada!! 😊😊🤗
I don't want to feel insecure about it. I shouldn't be insecure about it. Its the colour of my natural skin and I am not white. But im upset that I am insecure over it.
Dr can you please review the my topicals faded cream for hyperpigmentation in skin of colour. Which form of hyperpigmentation it helps ? And which body parts can it be used upon?
God sent angel to help me with my biggest insecurities🥺, u even don't think how much obsessed I am with ur videos and ur voice,❤️ I think I need help of psychologist to help me deal with my addiction....for ur videos..😅😘, thanks for everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good day Dr. Will like to ask, do u mean when applying the tyrosine inhibitors we can use different products layering one or 2 after the other or we are to use just 1 among tyrosinase product? Thanks for your kind help.

Hi Dr.Vanita, can you tell me if my night-time routine with AlphaArbutin HA+ exaglow serum+ Azelaic acid 10 suspension will help reduce hyperpigmentation?? Is it not too much of layering.. Should I skip azelaic?? Lots of love from France 🥰😘
I’ll do a video
Sorry nothing can make me go back to antiperspirants but I’m going to try everything else
Just wanted to say thanks to you because you are not just giving advices but you are empowering us in the choice of our skincare. So thank you because all your explanations really helped with my acne.
🙌🏽🤎
i am so glad i found you. now everytime i want to purchase an item, i'd go through your videos first. thank you so much again.
Thank you so much for sharing 😊 could you please recommend any products with the ingredients you mentioned. 😘
you are a life saver!! need more content on the internet for people of colour
Hi, thank you for your work and honest advice. I'm from Toronto and my question is have you done any research on NIOD products. Currently I'm using Ordinary for the past 6-8 months. They're okay, however I'd like to know if it's worth moving up to NIOD. I'm olive skin, so not in brown categories and not caucasian...
Dr v
Thank you so much for all your videos. Very informative they are indeed.
Any ideas to reduce the look of spider veins n vericose veins on the skin
Many thanks in advance 🙏
Thanks for the info. Doc. Can you please talk about hair removal of underarms. If not shaving than what's the safest alternative?
Great suggestion
This is great advice. Thanks so much. ALWAYS be gentle with your underarms. The skin is delicate! LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL diluted with natural oils is my go-to. I had a product designed that's now available for sale.
Hi Dr.Vanita, can you tell me if my night-time routine with AlphaArbutin HA+ exaglow serum+ Azelaic acid 10 suspension will help reduce hyperpigmentation?? Lots of love from France 🥰😘
Yes x
@@vanitarattan It is not too much of layering?? Should I skip azelaic acid (3rd layering)? Thanks for your answer
Thank your for educating us. I'm now going to declutter my bathroom.
Dr V. I've heard that some sweating under the arm is good, so only to use a deodorant vs an antiperspirant...your thoughts? So should we be doing both blocking both odor and sweat from happening?
I HAVE A QUESTION, at minute 6:14, do we have to use all of those things together, or one of those will do? Because I've seen you do lists like that all the time and I'm always confused bout wether or not we should use them together or just choose one?
Thank you so much, I feel that people of color don’t matter and as a 51year African American female that has spent thousands of dollars on Dermatology you are a God sent s
Thanks for sharing
Hello, Dr. V!
I recently came across your UA-cam channel and I got obsessed as I am so much into skincare. And ever since, I’ve started to purchase products from CeraVe.
There’s this one video where you listed products for oily skin along with a giveaway. It was supposed to be a step/by-step process but it felt confusing as I am more accustomed to “cleanse, tone, moisturize” as a simple process or check list for skincare. That video didn’t include toning so I assumed that if you have to tone, you should follow “cleanse, tone, exfoliate”?
I wish there is one video for skin care for oily skin and oily skin only, not oily/acne. If it has to be that way, then maybe perhaps we should establish that treatments and routines for oily skin and oily acne-prone skin are one and the same, unless that’s not the case.
After the video I mentioned, I was able to order the CeraVe SA cleanser you mentioned in it and I wish I would know what toner to use afterwards. Or I wish I would know from you the best daily care for a person with oily skin only. And yes I am a person of color.
I love all your work. I hope you can help me.

Thank you so much ma'am..
Ma'am few years back my sister had done bleeching on my underarm... And after that my underarms has become velvety dark.. I've tried everything.. I mean home remedies, scrubbing but nothing really worked.. What sud i do? Can this be changed at all?
This is such an informative video on how to treat underarm pigmentation for people with brown or black skin! Another product to consider is DermalMD Intimate Lightening Cream. It's specifically designed to be safe and effective for all skin types, and can help to lighten and even out the skin tone in the underarm area. Thanks for sharing your expertise, Doctor V!
Can the Pauls choice 1% retinol with vitamin A and licorice extract be used for underarm for skin of colour @DrV
Are the ingredients you mentioned to be used alone? For example, by aloe, can i use aloe gel? Or did you mean for me to look for products containing those ingredients?
I just bought the Hada Labo toner/lotion for hyperpigmentation (blue bottle) and was wondering if that would work for underarms too?
Hi Dr. can review on oral hyaluronic acid . Lake Avenue nutrition. Which is effective. Oral or applying to skin
Thank you Dr. Vanita Rattan so much for this video. I didn't even think to check to see if the blades I were shaving with had nickel in it. I'm very allergic to nickel. I usually check jewelry for nickel, but not razors. I also had to stop using Dove deodorant because I was experiencing swelling in the lymph nodes under my arms. I just started using Lume unscented natural deodorant and it helped. Have you ever tried that deodorant? I will use the suggestions you said in the video to treat the discoloration under my arms. Thank you again☺❤
Ive stop using scented deodorant with Alkohol my armpits are literally white now Iam shocked.
SOMEHOW I have hyperpigmentation on my face but not under my arms, but I’m finding this video useful for the dark corners of my mouth (def a big issue for me aside from brown marks that follow my acne). I plan on using vitamin A/tyrosinase inhibitors for that.
@ Dr Vanita rattan
thank you soo much for sharing your hard earned knowledge over years with us.
mam can you please share your views regarding dry brushing for cellulite
The saving grace of the POC community. Thank you.
Can waxing cause underarm pigmentation?
Hey
Is it okay to use skin bleaching kits for instant results- good brands like vlcc or jolen? Or any brand u suggest? I have persistent acanthosis nigricans but i want to be able to wear summer clothes🤭 which is embarrassing. I am working on my glucose management but that is a long term solution.
Thankss alott, you rock🔥
No x
I really wanted this video to say something about ‘waxing’ (this might have been covered on the part of ‘inflammation as a causative’ ..but really it confuses me every time I think of getting rid of underarms hair, which one at least does not worsen the darkening ..shave, wax, laser (which most literatures seem to mention as a solution - and not so much of a solution for really dark skinned people
I would be afraid to use some of the products you suggested for the underarm. I have horrible hyperpigmentation under my arms. I know that you have to be VERY careful with what you put under your arms due to the ingredients traveling straight into the breast tissue. A lot of women apply deodorant under their arms as soon as they have showered when their pores are wide open…😵💫 DANGEROUS! So please help me understand why it isn’t dangerous to apply these products under our armpits if they are not natural products….
Glad that you came up with a solution but it’s insanely costly. if this is a new product, I would suggest to keep the price bit low so more people can buy it @DrV
i keep seeing people rave about using glycolic acid on their underarms and had amazing results, even for those with skin of colour. i was kinds skeptical about it. but if it does actually work for some people, does it just mean that the results of using glycolic acid underarm differs from person to person and not that it won’t work for people with skin of colour ?
Thank you for all your hard work in putting out these videos and your knowledge.
🙌🏽❤️
Great video.
Thank you
Question please:
Is it ok to use skin whitening to get rid of dark knees and elbows, then once desired tone (lighter brown to match) is reached, to maintain that tone and not get lighter can i stop and just continue with a brightener to help it stay that colour?
Also
i am going on holiday, i know i will Tan but before i go is it 9k to use AHA lotion (fair & white brand) on my skin before i go and in holiday to keep my skin glowing chocolate?
I am taking SPF50
Thanks for this video, Dr V. Lots of great information as usual. I've been switching between The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin and using Superdrug's tranexamic acid from their own-brand range called Me+, which has a lot of different options of serums too. Would you be able to review this collection please? I want to know if you think their tranexamic acid, in particular, is effective or as effective as the Inkey List's. It would be great to know as they're more accessible and are usually on offer but also are also at an affordable price of £8.99. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if I would get reply now .. can you please tell me should I use niacinamide and saliycic acid together?? If not can I use niacinamide in morning after cleansing, toner and than moisturizer and spf ( but twice a week) and salicylic acid at night after cleansing moisturizing and than after applying salicylic acid again moisturizing (but once in a week) and can I use vitamin C with niacinamide ?? Because I daily use vitamin C .. please do reply me i have oily acne prone skin and i have breakouts blackheads and uneven texture and it i am really fed up of it ... Please do help me mam
Hi Dr. V. I just did your "Aeroplane Skincare Routine" on a train and it is fantastic. Thank you.
