Description
Dr Vanita Rattan CeraPep Moisturiser 100ml (New double size & New airless pump) is an anti-aging, anti-pigmentation, non-comedogenic moisturiser, safe for skin of colour.
Contains DermStim TM an anti-pigmentation, anti-aging stem cell technology for skin of colour.
It is NAFE SAFE to minimise chances of irritation No Denatured Alcohol, No Fragrance and No Essential Oils.
Suitable for use around the eye area, ensuring the product does not enter the eye. Wash out immediately if it does.
Why is it good for skin of colour?
Skin of colour requires more ceramides, and more tyrosinase inhibitors for hyperpigmentation than lighter skin tones. Cera Pep Moisturiser contains both.
Niacinamide has been used to strengthen the skin barrier and Peptides help stimulate collagen.
It is 'NAFE SAFE' to minimise chances of irritation i.e. No Denatured Alcohol, No Fragrance and No Essential Oils.
Irritation can be more problematic for darker skin tones, and therefore it should be avoided where possible.
Who is this product for?
For most skin types (normal/dry/combination) & persons over 16 years and over.
Persons with oily skin can also use the range but will be more suited to use the Trio Blemish Range for oily/acne prone skin instead.
Not for persons with a history of reactions to skincare products, very dry/sensitive skin, damaged skin or if active skin conditions are present i.e. seborrheic dermatitis, severe eczema.
SUITABLE FOR PREGNANCY / BREASTFEEDING.

Common Product FAQs
1. How long would Daily Range products last for?
This will vary for each product and person, however, if usage guidelines are followed, the average duration may be 4-6 weeks approx.
2. Is the Daily Range suitable for pregnancy & breastfeeding?
The range is suitable for pregnancy with the exception of the 'Antioxidant Serum'. If unsure or your circumstances vary, please check with your doctor.
3. Is the Daily Range suitable for all skin types?
Yes it is suitable for all skin types, however persons with very sensitive skin / rosacea / active skin conditions etc. should AVOID the 'Exfoliate to Glow' chemical exfoliator.
4. Can you use the Daily Range with Dr. V Hyperpigmentation kits / other professional treatments?
The cleansers, moisturiser and toner can be used, but NOT the 'Exfoliate to Glow' or 'Antioxidant Serum' please. In general, exfoliating washes/scrubs should not be used with anti-pigmentation treatments.
5. Should I still use Niacinamide, Ceramides, Retinol, Vitamin A/C/E serums from other skincare lines in conjunction with the Dr V Daily Range?
You don't need to use any of the active ingredients above from other products as they are already well represented in the Daily Range. Doing so would be a waste of money and could lead to skin reactions.
However, you can add an extra Retinol product into your skincare routine if you wish to (but not essential).
6. Do I still need to use Dr V YouTube Channel recommended products such as Garnier Micellar Water, Simple Moisturising Face Wash, DHC Cleansing Oil?
No, these products have effective counterparts in the Dr V Daily Range. For instance the Dr V Micellar Gel Wash effectively replaces both Micellar Water and a normal Face Wash.
7. Can I still use Tretinoin with the Dr V Antioxidant Power Serum?
It is acceptable to use Tretinoin with the Antioxidant Serum, but not with the Dr V Exfoliate to Glow, nor with our Facial Pigmentation Kit.
However, it is not permissable to use Isotretinoin/Roaccutane with the Serum
8. I have never used Vitamin A before, do I need to do anything special to start off with?
The Antioxidant Power Serum contains the least irritating form of Vitamin A and at a low %, hence it can be used as normal per the application guidelines.
However, as with all treatment products, we advise patch testing first, to ensure there are no skin reactions before proceeding with application to the more prominent areas.
9. Why is there Citric acid in the Power Serum, I thought Dr V does not like it ?
Citric acid is used in low % as pH buffer, not at high % as an exfoliator (not recommended).
10. Can these products be used after microneedling procedures?
Yes, after any soreness from the microneedling has subsided, all Daily Range products can be used except for the 'Exfoliate to Glow' product.
11. As there is Lactic acid in this product, do I still need to exfoliate separately?
You can still exfoliate separately as the lactic acid in this product is a pH adjuster, not used as an exfoliator.
12. Will this product block my pores?
The product is non-comedogenic, meaning that it will not block pores on its own in most individuals. However, in acne-prone individuals, it is better to opt for a lighter gel-based moisturiser, such as in Dr V Trio Blemish (expected April/May 2022).
13. How long does it take to see results, as part of the full daily range?
You may start to notice beneficial effects in as little as 2-4 weeks, however we advise 12 weeks to see the full potential.

Store Owner
I am a trained Human Resource Professional with an MBA in Human Resource Management-Training and Development and have amassed fifteen (15) years corporate experience in that discipline.
I decided to embark on a new career path which led me to be involved in my family's Physiotherapy Clinic. During that period I became very aware of the multi-faceted world of wellness. I settled into the area of skin care and began immersing myself in the vast amounts of available knowledge. Some recommendations therein led me to experiment with my teenage daughter and myself as we both had skin challenges. I can say now that I am beginning to see the best skin of my life and regret not knowing about the regimen earlier.
I am the proud promoter of products and treatments which ensure minimum irritation but maximum efficacy.
The love of skincare has prompted the birth of the business Skincare Approved by G, to share and promote with those persons who believe in following a similar skincare philosophy.
Thank you for allowing me to take you on this journey.
Best regards,
G
