Skin of Color Skincare Review: Minimalist Range Analysis

Today, on Dr. Vanita Rattan's channel, the team delves into the minimalist range, dissecting each product with a keen eye for ingredients suitable for skin of color. Emphasizing the importance of safe components, they stress the need for gentle surfactants and specific actives in optimal concentrations. The team scrutinizes products like the salicylic acid face wash and the aquaporin cleanser, highlighting their key ingredients and target skin types. However, they pull no punches when critiquing the alpha lipoic plus glycolic product, slamming its high glycolic acid content as unsuitable for daily use, especially for skin of color due to the potential for skin burns.

Moving on to the PHA toner, the team questions its pore-tightening and hydrating claims, cautioning against overuse due to its exfoliating properties. Dr. Vanita draws comparisons to her own Dr. V renew range, stressing the proper application of acids for optimal results. As they analyze the a BHA exfoliator, they issue a stern warning against glycolic acid in hot climates, pointing out the risks and advising against blindly adopting Western skincare formulations without considering the unique needs of skin of color. The channel's thorough examination of the minimalist range serves as a reminder of the importance of tailored skincare solutions for diverse skin types.
