- To reduce Hyperpigmentation, Dark Spots and Melasma you need a well rounded anti-pigmentation skincare regimen that incorporates skin lightening agents with the proper balance of skin regeneration, hydration, exfoliation, prepping, and protecting. Together these factors synergistically aid in removing hyperpigmentation and maintaining lasting results. CAUTION!!!!! Skin is so individualized and what right for one person may not be right for the next so I’ve listed several top-notch products for you here but you only need one product from each category. Below find all the recommendations made throughout the video to help you get rid of unwanted dark marks or brown patches.

Lifestyle Changes:
Drastically Decrease Soy in diet sorry to my soy latter lovers. Soy has an estrogenic component in it and can turn on the alpha MSH pathway.
Choose an anti-inflammatory diet (minimize soy/nuts/corn/etc) rich in antioxidants
Hair Grooming- Keep Hair Dryer away from your skin as heat activates melanocytes
Facial hair- step away from the tweezers and stop picking
No Smoking of any kind/ No Vaping- nicotine will deposit more pigment in the skin.
Hot Yoga, Sauna, Try and cool off the car before entering if it's hot out
Compliance is key because correction can take anywhere from 1 month to 3+ months. Depending on the individual.

The best video I ever seen on hyperpigmentation... Great Dr ... I need an appointment now
same! how do we sign up for one?
Very good!! There’s another good one by a Medical Student here on CZcams. Check her out ‘Vote for Hani’
Waiting for the melesma treatment video
Wow. I’m going to have to rewatch this and take notes. I had no idea moisturisers were THAT important in terms of penetration enhancing. I thought actives came from everything else, and all a moisturiser had to do was to ‘seal’ things in. I just wish the audio wasn’t bad, and that you didn’t talk as fast. But MIND BLOWN 🤓
@@aishwaryathadiparthi4798 hdhrhfrbnfgv
It’s so nice to finally see a woman of color describe the treatment. You are clearly very knowledgeable and we are thankful for your information!
Please can I get your phone number to book appointment with you? Am desperate I have a very big problem Thx
you should check out dr vanita rattan also very informative
@@diabloazula7643 I like Dr. Vanita too but she did not specialize in Dermatology in medical school and is not a dermatologist. She is just a regular MD....not sure if she specialized in anything or not. I think may to be a General Practitioner. After med school she become a chemical formulator of skin products. Dr. Alexis on the other hand was a chemical formulator first, and then went to medical school specifically for Dermatology. So, from a medical perspective and dermatological standpoint, I think I give Dr. Alexis one or maybe even two up on Dr. Vanita. But, I do appreciate Dr. Vanita as well for sure. And I absolutely enjoyed the video they did together.
She breaks it down scientifically and then tells you exactly what to use to fix it... am I dreaming? 😍😂
She’s a dream 🥺🫶🏽
It is so refreshing to see a darker skinned dermatologist talking on skincare because I always have to be cautious if other dermatologist are going to regularly work with people with dark skin tones so this is super helpful and your work is so needed
I was already subscribed to you, but today I did a search for hyperpigmentation, hyperpigmentation doctor, and hyperpigmentation dermatologist. You didn't come up anywhere. I'm thankful you popped up somewhere for me in the past, but I really hope you optimize your videos to start ranking higher in the search engine. I know your oldest video is a year old and everything else is relatively new, but it's not hard. Hyperpigmentation is one of your specialties. Keywords and hashtags will be your friend. Good luck. You're needed!
Agreed sharing with all my friends and family
Yes I agree with you, Dr Alexis should come up on top for hyperpigmentation advice. I am always looking for skin care for hyperpigmentation and just can across Dr Alexis. Is it because I'm white and watch mostly white CZcamsrs? I've watched Dr. Rattan in the past too but Dr Alexis is so very good. What the heck CZcams?
If you are ever in South Florida, Dr. Stephens is amazing. I saw her for my hair loss after recovering from COVID-19 and she also addressed my hyperpigmemtation with Cyspera. She is my dermatologist I am so grateful for her. She did not try to "sell" me a bunch of items truly tried the conservative approach first. I jumped ahead however to the PRP injections. Thanks a million Dr. Stephens!
Hey, is the PRP working for you? What's your experience with it and how pricey was it? Thank you
@@mssumerloving It was a little steep but I do feel it is working. It is about $600 per injection. My edges looked terrible but I can see them filling in after 1 injection but she said the series is 3. I did not wait until they were completely gone but they were notably patchy.
@@doristhecoder765 thanks so much for responding. Yikes that is a little steep but I may just have to suck it up and do it.
Wait, COVID causes hair loss, too? Oh wow! I'm glad you're doing better and were taken care of!
Yes it causes massive hair loss. If I showed you a picture it would make you cry.
I love it when educated people break knowledge down to even where a child could understand. You did a wonderful job explaining this!
FINALLY! an actual dermatologist providing skin care advice! And a beautiful black doctor to boot! We love to see it
YES WE NEED A TREATMENT VIDEO ON ACNE AND PIGMENTATION RIGHT MOISTURIZERS AND TONERS PLEASE
This is the most DETAILED and thorough description of hyperpigmentation that I've ever seen. And I've seen many many because I've suffered from acne for over 35 years. From cystic acne to regular pimples to dermatitis acne. Thank you! I found myself saying thank you all through the video. But thank you again. New subscriber here! 😁
Your daughter is so cute 😍
I’m sure she’ll grow up to be as smart and as beautiful as you are. Thank you for the informative video!
Oh bless your heart, I have been looking for a dr on CZcams that specializes in people of color skin because I always knew that people of color had different skin than others (no shade to anyone). I just got tired 😫 of running to the store to get a beauty product and the product didn't help my skin. I always wanted clear skin so that makeup would be an asset to my skin and not a cover up essential product for my skin. 🥰🥰🥰

It would be great to have a video of your skincare routine using the most affordable products that you spoke about , so we can visually understand how to treat hyperpigmentation.
You are so informative. You explain very well and provide product recommendations that are budget friendly. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I hope other people will recognize how great you are.
I am glad my daughter introduced me to your channel. I have learned so from you, Dr. Stevens. Please continue your work on d skin of color on CZcams.
I love Dr. Stephens' videos, but I hope that the editing and sound can keep improving. It's somewhat distracting, but I really value all of the amazing information that she is sharing with us, for FREE! THANK YOU DR. STEPHENS.
I agree. She really deserves many more views , subscribers and likes. With a few tweaks she will blow the competition out of the water.
@@gardeniainbloom812 I am not sure if you noticed, but there is a video with Susan Yara where there is significant improvement. She slowed down and is enunciating much better.
As you highlighted, the Very DETAILED info was given to us for FREE..She didn't OWE this to us. She gave it for FREE. No one contributed to her speaker/microphone detail. She gave us her knowledge and time for FREE.. Anyone not appreciative of that needs to accept the fact that they are selfish. And some selfish people they don't appreciate selfless acts from others because they can't understand it. They're possibly unaware of who they
are. They're NARCISSISTIC!!
@@Shortcake39553 Constructive feedback is not narcissism. Please grow a backbone.
@@eggsandtiddies8395 You first! Since you can give unwarranted criticism without showing your Face
Happy to finally see a dermatologist of color doing a scientific no frills youtube channel! Thank you for the detailed explanations and honest opinions!
Dr. Alexis I cant thank you enough for this! I've studied the hyperpigmentation playlist, created my own routine and I feel so much more empowered and in control after watching this and the other videos on this subject. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the CZcams Community!
Plz tell me... Cream names doctor said that... What is good or what is not necessarily
Hi dr. Thank you so much for this information! We needed this. I’d like to suggest a little more organization in your future videos. The content was great but it was not clear a lot of the times because it felt a little all over the place and rushed. Also a lot of the images, changed too fast and a lot of them had a lot of information. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Yes im having the same issue, I had to rewind and pause often :(
This is the most wholesome video I’ve watched in a while. Love to all working moms during this pandemic. Thank you for this video, Dr. Stephens!
I washed this video again and it is really a master class, so many years suffering from hyperpigmentation and melasma and I have never learned as much as I have learned with this video. Thank you Dr. 🙏
Me too it is in my saved video because it is not very clear to me how to use and what to use
Oh my God !!! As a premed and fellow dark brown girl, i am in awe !!! Subscribed !!
This literally blew my mind. I loved the science packed knowledge and your daughter is adorable.
Wow, sooo informative! The best information about how to treat hyperpigmentation I’ve ever received. I have a dermatologist appointment this weekend but this makes me not want to go lol. My derm is so unhelpful and just prescribes - doesn’t inform or anything and gives one or two word answers to questions.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us! I’ve been struggling with hyperpigmentation for about 12/13 years and this gives me hope.
This is a problem I find with all these doctors!!!!
Me too same amt of years..my PCP wrote me tretinoin 0.025% and i bought Naturium niacinamide serum 12% with zinc 2% and Aobbiy glutathione dark spot corrector, timeless ferulic acid with vitamin E also on amazon. Seen great results for the 1st time. Gonna visit her though..she is literally 10 min from me. Never seen her video until 2 days ago
Would be nice to have a video on how to incorporate Vit c, azelaic acid, arbutin and Niacinamide in a routine to get the max result without cancelling each other.
Hi. I've learned that Niacinamide and Vit C definitely cancels each other out so Niacinamide usually is a day serum while Vit C can be used at night.
Vit c has also been recommended to be effective with alpha arbutin so put those 2 in your night routine.
For the day, niacinamide pairs well with the azelaic acid.
You can actually go on to The Ordinary's website (even if you do not use their products) and utilize the live chat on the order which you can use products and how they pair with each other. Hope this helps :)
Watch her collaboration video with Mixed Makeup on hyperpigmentation for dark skin. Get your pen and paper ready!
Check out Dr. Vinita Rattan who has a video on You Tube about layering those exact products.
@@sarojanilakhan7251 Thanks for suggesting her! She also has some interesting information!
@@krystinemarie4935 Actually, Dr Stephens explains why Niacinamide and Vitamin C actually works well together!
She talks about this in her collab video “skincare ingredients do not mix”
Love Love this video. Please can you do a skin care routine (AM & PM) for treating acne and hyper pigmentation
This was SO helpful. I have been feeling super untrusting towards my current moisturizer and sunscreen and wanted to figure out a better routine for evening out my skin tone. There’s so much misinformation out there but I feel like I can trust you! First step is throwing out my Cerave moisturizing Cream because it has saturated fat as the 4th ingredient (MCT oil/coconut oil/caprylic,capric triglyceride) ! Everytime I put it on I felt like it made my skin tone look MORE uneven. I’m glad to know it wasn’t in my head.
You’re esteemed colleague brought so much value to the conversation 🤣
You are on CZcams! You helped me to clear up my skin after over yeeeers of trying. Thank you!
What skin condition did u have? What did u use?
Lord Jesus, I felt like I was in somebody's science class trying to understand what is going on. 😭😄🤦🏽♀️ Explain it to me like I'm a child doctor! 😄🤦🏽♀️ Nonetheless, I did complete the video and I'll be back lol thank you for what you do!🥰
Thanks Dr. Alexis. I love the way you use terms like too many “people” or “cars”.
Please do a video on treating Melasma. This video was extremely helpful.
Melasma and hyperpigmentation not the same thing? Only one affects Caucasians more
I personally rate your skincare advice among the best and most detailed among all the dermatologists on CZcams!! Thank you for all you do Dr Stephens!
Omg! Okay. I need to sit down, and takes notes. Coming back in the AM!
This is your friendly reminder to come back :)
She knows exactly what’s she’s talkin about without a few days my face was blotchy and the melasma worsened I love this channel! Great woman thanks for the info
Omg! A Queen sis to educate us! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I didn't start having this issue till I became a grown woman. May break out from (that time of the month) the bump goes away but leaves a black scar. Im crying writing this.. I've gone to so many Dr.s but none of a Queen African Decent.
Omg! Let me order everything!
Thank you ❤️
I just recently found your channel and boy am I glad I did. I have already been able to change things based on what I’ve learned from your videos. Thank you for putting this important content out there and for giving different price points for skin care options.... also your baby is ADORABLE!
You are so welcome! and Thank you!!!
Have you tried to treat with Weedborn CBD products?
Thank you.The best video ever on Hyperpigmentation on darker skins. I am promoting this and putting int on all social media forms. This doctor makes me so PROUD!
After watching this video months ago, I changed my face wash to one with enzymes you mentioned and my skin has DRASTICALLY improved!! My entire face is soft, it looks way better and feels amazing! Thank you!!
I deal w hyperpigmentation and I want to thank you for breaking this down in simple terms
So informative, but confusing at the same time! Simplicity is the name of the game for most people! What to buy how to use it and when to expect some results. Great channel keep grinding!
OMG god send, you're an angel for women of color thank you!
Love all the information! Please do one on hyperpigmentation in the underarms, how to lighten, hair removal and what deodorant to use. I’m sure a lot of ladies would appreciate it!
Look up BEAUTIFULBRWNBABYDOLL on CZcams for videos on this.
This is the best hyperpigmentation video on CZcams. Dr. Alexis your channel is gold.
I love that you show examples on darker skin!!!! That’s what we need
I think there was a lot of very useful information here, some of which I have not heard in any other video on youtube. But, I think there needs to be - :
1. Better preparation.
2. Slower delivery
3. A more structured organisation.
4. Focus on products to solve the problems, in a way that is easier to assimilate.
The information is there somewhere, but I'll most likely have to listen to it 10 or 20 times, to decipher it all.
Especially for people of colour, there is a lot of information here, a lot. Just needs much better organisation. For example the presentation format was not uniform, from section to section.
I'll watch the more recent videos to see if she has an improved version.
Agreed, lot of awesome information but so hard to follow :(
This was a lot. Were these steps/products in order? A video on the exact steps/layers in order would be great.
go see a dermatologist!
@@avanulaneway8418 we don't have black dermatologists in my country which is why I'm watching her!
@@avanulaneway8418 you have a lot of nerve to exclamate "go see a dermatologist" who do YOU think you are?
@avanu Laneway how dear you who do u think you are . The Dr. Is on CZcams meaning she is also an influencer.. and she is making a video. So she should list the products and the order they should be used..
I agree. The video is full of great advice . I look at her then I try to find other videos that give a step by step suggested order to use the products.
Thank you, Dr. Stephens!!! I'm going to try these steps. I've been fighting my hyperpigmentation for years! It's driving me nuts
Same🥲
Your recommendation is topnotch, we need routine. Confused and lost in your explanation.
This is the proper definition of a good simple skin expert thank you for what you are doing great job. Hope you can train us one on one someday?
You are in the YT algorithm, so I subscribed...the cherry on top was that this is interesting content and I enjoy your analogies...thank you for sharing I am looking forward to more content
Bless you for this post. The knowledge that you have spent years gathering and accumulating, learning and studying, then giving that over freely to others is truly one of the most beautiful gifts we can give and receive as human beings. So thank you very much. Hope you ,your friends and family are staying safe over there xx
Please put the order in which we need to use these items in a list starting from cleanser, treatments, retinol, etc. It’s hard to keep up with the right products we need to use in the correct order.
i gotchu!
1. Oil Cleanse/Micellar Water (optional)
if you wear minimal to a lot of makeup, this step would be really good for you! just an extra precaution in order to remove most makeup
2. Foam/Water Based Cleanse
If the first cleanse *truly* isn’t needed, I recommend starting here. Double cleansing is really recommended, but not always needed. Start your routine off with a good cleanse to clear up oil and debris.
3. Exfoliate
Like Dr. Alexis said, enzyme exfoliants are recommended for hyperpigmentation, so you can find one that suits your skin type.
4. Treatment
5. Moisturizer
6. Sunscreen
(Go for a physical sunscreen! Chemical sunscreens can cause a lot of irritation, leading to worsened hyperpigmentation.)
This list isn’t perfect, but this is a good start! you can fix and tweak any steps in order to suit your skin better.
@@chickenstrips623
Thank you, because my head was spinning.👍🏼
No
@@chickenstrips623 Dr. Alexis also mentioned the use of BHA exfoliants. I guess you figure out if an enzyme is best for you or not or am I mistaken that a BHA acts as an exfoliate as well?
@@seasonedsofisticate1901 bha acts as an exfoliate
I have hypopigmentation under my eyes 👀 I hate it can you please introduce me to a doctor for my skin color I live in Detroit Michigan I’ve been to Doctor’s and one took a biopsy of my hypopigmentations and still can’t get rid of it thanks for all that you’re doing for dark skin people because all Doctors doesn’t know about dark skin I’m a living witness May the Lord keep blessing you Dr. Stevens😊❤️🙏🏾
This is the best informative video I have ever watch about hyperpigmentation, Dr. could you please do an update version with better audio. The audio is broken up during the video and makes it hard to listen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for your help 🙏❤️❤️❤️
This video has helped me so much to stop spinning my wheels on acne scarring from the pregnancy of my daughter. I am finally seeing results. I keep coming back to re-watch.
Your daughter is so adorable and thank you for this much needed information
Yes please on melasma, but a little clearer in terms of order and steps. Much appreciated!
I was doing so good, until the moisturizer part 😭😭😭
Anyway thanks, this was so informative 🙌🏼
I know right?? No one really talked about that before .
now I find it struggling to differentiate unsaturated vs saturated fatty acids because they could be written under many different names in the ingredients list :((( hope someone can help
@@vitran6815 cerave daily moisturizer is perfect, it has cholesterol and all the right fatty acids
Thanks so much for presenting a great session on removing dark pigmentation. I have struggled with this for years. I am currently under the care of a knowledgeable dermatologist, after years of going from one to another. Only to be disappointed with no improvement of my dark spots. Blessings ❤
This content is seriously next level! A Doctor and a teacher wow how lucky are we! Your daughter is so adorable🥰. Dietary changes give me the great changes no wheat, dairy, soy, low sugar. I look forward to trying some of the products you shared. Thank you Dr. Stephens!
Can you imagine having this lady in your study group?!☺️
Is it just me or the audio is a little weird?? Love the video though. I'm learning so much!
Dr. Stephens, you are awesome! I wish I could find a dermatologist like you in New York. So knowledgeable and CARING! Continue to be who you are...don't change, you are headed for greatness!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm so glad this came up on my recommendation list. I've been looking for a black dermatologist for the longest 😘
Thank you! I have watched this video several times. We have such a void in this area. Looking to younger sisters to step in. Great need and even greater opportunity. Thanks Dr.
I’m so happy that I found you. I love your video. The hyperpigmentation video are great since I suffered from it. Can you please do a video about your morning and night routine. I would like to know what kind of supplements are you using. Thank you!
Dr Stephens - After 55 years of age.......in 1 night you taught me how to properly take care of my south pacific islander skin! YOU'RE SO KNOWLEDGABLE AND HELPFUL to many. Thank you!
Wow! The best video I’ve seen on this subject!! Can’t wait to see more videos.
I need a VOD appt with you like yesterday..lol. Loved seeing a medical professional WOC share knowledge wisdom and proper care for hyperpigmentation our skins worst visible enemy . 🙌🏿
Thank you so much Dr Stephens! This is by far the best and most complete video on hyperpigmentation I have seen! Very helpful and you have such a beautiful voice and smile! thank you🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much! This video contains a LOT of information, and I’ll have to watch again and take notes. I recently decided to focus on correcting my hyperpigmentation, but I’ve been hesitant to use multiple products and I worried about how they might work (or might not) together. I’m still intimidated by the amount of substances and products presented here, but from what I’m getting from this video - there is no quick or simple solution. And it’s going to be expensive…
I really loved everything about this video! Informative, easy to understand, and most of all -- a sample treatment regimen! THANK YOU!! I am so glad I found you! 😊
The baby is the highlight of the whole video 😍😍😍😍😍
OMG. I felt like I was in a lecture! I literally took notes that I have to go back and study, lol! Thanks for the education!
Thank you so much. That UrbanSkin is the truth! I have a dark spot due to inflammation and it instantly started breaking up the dark spot.
She is my dermatologist you guys🤗🤗🤗🤗 yayyyy!
OMG🥰🥰🥰I so appreciate you Dr. Alexis. I was diagnosed with Lupus and it’s been 12 years of me dealing with the butterfly rash of this diseases. I had to change my dermatologist because I just didn’t feel she was understanding my skin type. Even with my own research I have appreciated a few CZcams influencers honesty on skin care and hyperpigmentation. Thank you again❤️❤️❤️I have definitely subscribed to your channel and look forward to more contents🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
This melasma is over my lip...it has taken over my self esteem SO much!😔
The ordinary brand is cheap and is the best. If u go to the store they tell u what to buy
You are totally amazing. I basically broke out a notebook because I felt that I was in a master class. I pressed pause and started writing down information. For once I feel good about a place to start with fighting melasma. Right now I'm using a Bliss moisturizer, which says nothing about fatty acids at all. Thank you for all the info. I feel as if I have a starting point. I'm going to rewatch your video.
Second time I watch this video is like a master class, I will watch it again taking some notes next time.
Your skin is amazing...I would love to have beautiful skin like yours.... I pray daily for clear skin... I'm tired of wasting money on usless products that don't work.
This video was so comprehensive. As a science geek, I loved the flowcharts and analogy to people in the car. I understand people with deeper skin color have a bigger issue with hyperpigmentation. Can those of us developing sunspots as we age follow the same advice in the video, or is there a different regimen to follow? I assume retinoids are part of the answer.
Best video ever ! I wish you could do a course for primary care physicians who live in areas with almost no dermatologists specializing in care of African American patients.
Keep it up! There's always something new we can learn in the skincare industry.👏👏🙌
I need you in my life. I’ve been trying everything, anything, and so much more. My Melasma get worse month after month.
thank you for the information. I just feel like you spoke to fast.
Turmeric mask( turmeric powder+yogurt or milk+honey) works 100% , at least for me. My best discovery so far
I really loved your video. I just wished there was a more affordable version of the routine. Or maybe I’m just too broke😆
The most comprehensive advice and enjoyable visual aids for the public I've seen online, congrats Dr. Stephens, forget the dangerous, non-dermatologist influencers- (You know who you are) who just regurgitate each other's reviews and have monetary agendas!! Also love Dr Venita Rattan
This was so informative!! Thank you for offering this information for us free!! Sending love ❤️
Wow. This could be a lecture in med school, it was so detailed - and well edited, thank you so much!! 🎉
Dr Alexis, what do you suggest do hyperpigmentation on the body because it just does not happened on the face? Can some of this serums/ products be used on the body? On the affected areas
I use exfoliation and i mix vitamin c in my moisturizer and it works for my body.
Thank you!! I was prescribed Tri-Luma and it made my hyperpigmentation worse. I’ m hoping to be able to reverse this.
I love how you broke everything down! Between azelaic acid and kojic acid, which works faster to reduce hyperpigmentation?
I'm here taking notes, legit feeling like I'm in a class, I wish you were my tutor. This is goooddd, thank you!
I use Cetaphil moisturising lotion on top of all my actives.
That was the most incredibly comprehensive video about any subject matter I've ever watched. I'm going to need to watch it a couple of times to take notes! I so wish you had slowed down the portions with the product recommendations. When I come to Florida, I'm going to need to book an appointment with you. Did I mention that you're brilliant? Yeah, you most certainly are. Check out my picture, I'm 59... I only recently became concerned with hyperpygmentation, I've had freckles all my life but for some reason at a certain age, the freckles are no longer cute!
I was literally doing research in regards to the cyspera cream you recommended me😂😂😂🤣🤣 and boom there you are.
Can't wait to get rid of these stubborn melasma.
I needed to discover this page years ago! Now its time to binge. Thank you Dr Alexis!
