Description

Dr. V Deep Cleansing Body Wash 200ml (£14) - helps with scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone. A gentle anti-aging body cleanser for skin of colour.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Who is this product for?

For people with normal/dry skin, age 21+.

For ageing & dull skin concerns or bumpy Keratosis Pilaris.

Not for persons with: eczema-prone skin, sensitive/damaged skin, active skin conditions or a history of reactions to skincare products.

Common FAQs

1. How long do Dr V Body Range products last for?

This will vary for each product and person, however, if usage guidelines are followed, the average duration may be 4-8 weeks approx.

2. Is the Body Range suitable for pregnancy & breastfeeding?

The range is NOT suitable for pregnancy & breastfeeding (contains Vitamin A in every product).

However, it would be a good idea to use before pregnancy (skin conditioning / thickens the dermis to reduce the severity or likelihood of stretch marks).

It would be useful after pregnancy also (helps to repair the dermis, stretch marks, & tighten wrinkled loose skin).

3. Is the Body Range suitable for all skin types?

It is for normal/dry skin, not ideally suited for oily skin (use Trio Blemish range instead).

4a. Can you use the BODY range with Dr. V Hyperpigmentation kits?

Yes, please follow the preferred PM routine below:

1. Apply Body Smoothing Exfoliator

2. Apply Deep Cleansing Bodywash in the shower

3. After the shower, apply the Dr V Body Pigmentation Kit creams (the one you are using that day).

4. Seal in the active ingredients with Body Brightening Oil.

4b. Can you mix & match the Body Range with 3rd party products?

You would not need to use any other products on the same area of skin, the Body Range has all the ingredients you need.

5a. Can I still use Tretinoin/ topical Acne medications (Duac, Adapalene etc) with Body Range?

You can use the Body Wash and Body Oil but please avoid the Body Exfoliator (if skin is dry/flaking).

5b. Can I use the Body Range whilst on Isotretinoin/Roaccutane?

Please only use the Body Wash, not other 2 products.

6. Can I apply Body Range products during the day?

Yes the product range is safe to wear during the day (as opposed to hyperpigmentation kits, which are not).

7. How long does it take to see results?

The timeline below may be broadly applicable to most users:

Immediately (1-3 uses): skin looks brighter with the full kit

After 4 weeks: skin more hydrated & plumper

After 8 weeks: skin should be glowing

After 12 weeks: wrinkles & saggy skin should be improved

To see an improvement in hyperpigmentation also, combine with Dr V Body Pigmentation Kit.

About Us

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,
