  • @HelloHello-et1kf
    I love your videos. Could you explain things more slowly? Thank you.
  • Thanks so much for another thoughtful, informative video Dr. Sugai. My mixed heritage and history of unprotected sun worship have resulted in some pretty significant challenges as I age. I've learned so much from you and sincerely appreciate both your knowledge, ability to deliver great content informed by both experience and research and to top it all off, I love your sense of humor!

  • @deerob2208
    I love this content, I have been using targeted skin care for hyperpigmentation I like it, but I find it's lightening my whole face, I like my dark skin, it's not bleaching but it's brightening a bit much, also can you do a video on safely removing facial hair for darker skin.
