Why is it good for skin of colour?

In skin of colour, we don’t want to irritate skin or cause reactions, as this is more likely to lead to hyperpigmentation. The Dr V Body range has a minimal expected reaction rate (zero in the consumer study).

The active ingredients are at the correct percentages for skin of colour, working synergistically in an easy-to-follow step-by-step system.

For example, here are the preferred ingredients we use for skin of colour and why:

1. 1. Instead of high % Ascorbic Acid we use it at lower % and with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate instead (Ascorbic Acid is lower pH and potentially irritating in the sun).

1. 2. Instead of high % retinol, we use low % retinol & combine with it with retinaldehyde which is less irritating and works 11x faster (but more expensive, so not readily available in skincare products).

1. 3. Instead of Glycolic Acid, we opted for the AHA Lactic Acid, which is more hydrating & less irritating, so there is a lower chance of damaging the skin barrier and getting pigmentation.

1. 4. Skin of colour is typically drier, so we use high % glycerin to compensate & hydrate.

1. 5. The surfactant (cleans skin) we use is non-stripping: Cocamidopropyl Betaine.

Also, we use Sodium Laureth Sulfate, not SLS – Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, as the former is gentler for skin of colour.
