You can totally tell they really care about the quality of service they provide. Everything feels so thoughtful and effective. What makes it even more special is the people.

The PH pads are If you're struggling with your skin or just want products you can trust I 100% recommend giving them a try. Total game changer! read more

Cynthya is the absolute best!! She is the sweetest person and very easy to talk to. I've seen her a total of 3 times now and have nothing negative to say. My favorite thing about her is that she doesn't pressure you to buy all of their products which actually makes me want to buy them even more!! My favorite products are the sensitive facial shampoo, benzoyl peroxide, and the phresh face correction pads. You can tell Cynthya genuinely cares about her clients which I absolutely love. My skin is now glowing thanks to Cynthya! read more

Corrective Skincare - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Hannah has been keeping my skin youthful with the facials and skin care products I get. From x's, demalplanning and hydro facials! I dont know how I would look at 51 if i didn't get these amazing skin care treatments from her! read more

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to write this review. Besides a couple of pimples here and there, I've had clear skin my whole life. And then suddenly, in the fall of 2023 my skin exploded with acne (across my cheeks, forehead, jawline, and chin). I tried a couple of different estheticians but nothing helped. Until I met Cynthya at Corrective Skincare. We had our first consult in late November 2024 and she started me on their brand of face wash, glycolic pads, and benzoyl peroxide. I saw her every month and checked up with her on IG every week/other week to tweak and adjust my routine based on how my skin was handling the new products. It's now end of March 2025, just 4 months later, and my skin is glowing. My breakouts are essentially gone (save for a stress pimple here and there) and my pigmentation is continuing to fade. I am thrilled with the results and honestly didn't think this would be possible this quickly. Especially after a year or trying other products and routines. Cynthya is truly the best! She cares about her clients, never judges, and always leaves me and my skin feeling better than when I came in. Confidence is such a huge part of acne and Cynthya has truly given me my confidence back. I'm so thankful to her and Corrective Skincare. read more

I have had such a great experience with Cynthya! I couldn't recommend her more! I've been seeing her for just 3 months and I've met all of my skincare goals and even improved my skin in ways I didn't know was possible! Instead of just selling you a bunch of overpriced products like other skincare places I've been to in the past, Cynthya works with you to create a simple and maintainable routine that works best for YOUR skin in a way that doesn't break the bank! She's very well informed, generous, and adapts your routine quickly when new info or issues arise! I am so grateful I started seeing her when I did! read more

Cynthya at Corrective Skincare is truly a skin magician. As a teenager, while I don't struggle with acne all over my face, I tend to have very challenging inflammatory breakouts in specific spots. Not only did Cynthya help me clear up those spots, making my skin look the best it has in a long time, but she taught me effective and simple ways to take care of my skin. I started using benzoyl peroxide and peroxide pads every other day, and she helped simplify my routine to only the necessities, nothing excessive or unrealistic. On top of all the glowing things I could say about the treatments themselves, Cynthya is authentic, kind, and funny. I look forward to every appointment because she is so fun to talk to and always makes me feel more confident about my skin than before I went in. 11/10 cannot recommend enough!!! read more

I've been waiting to write this review to give my new routine time and all I can say is WOW. I went into Corrective Skincare after struggling with my hormonal acne post egg freezing. My skin was all over the place and I was having such a hard time finding products that worked. I was always buying the Sephora/Blue Mercury best sellers and they were always irritating me. My skin was clear one week, a mess the next and irritated always. I'm a picker too so I always make it worse when I do have blemishes. I went in for a consultation and treatment with Jennifer. I was ready for a new routine (Jennifer was seriously the sweetest and did NOT even suggest I buy new products unless I really wanted to) and got their cleanser, moisturizer, benzoyl peroxide and skin corrector pads. I wasn't seeing a ton of progress so I emailed and after my appointment and we slightly changed my routine up (same products, different schedule). My skin has totally transformed since then. It is SO SOFT. I haven't had any spots which has made me unable to pick (because there is literally nothing to pick at). I am soooo happy with my results and hope to get back in soon for a treatment. read more

I've been going to Corrective Skincare for years and am so happy with their amazing customer service, gorgeous office space, and helpful services. Hannah does the best cleanings and always goes the extra mile every time--she's gentle, super informative, and listens to my needs. The whole team is so sweet and friendly. I've also purchased CSLA products for my partner and he LOVES their items like me. Highly recommend! read more

This was a terrific experience. I am a man who has had acne and oily skin for most of my life. I am subject to comedones (blackheads)- many of them- and it has been challenging to find a person who is competent and thorough at removing them. I asked my new dermatologist if he knew someone, and he recommended Corrective Skincare. Jennifer met me at the desk today at their very impressive office and immediately understood what I needed, which wasn't product or gadgetry or diet. I just needed someone to remove the damned blackheads from my neck and back. Not glamorous, I know. She went right to work, and while the process is never fun, she was gentle, methodical, expert, and fast. We chatted while she worked, and I enjoyed her company. She did a fabulous job. So glad I found Jennier and Corrective Skincare. read more

I brought my 15 year old in to see Cynthya and we could not be happier with the results. Cynthya educated my daughter and gave her a regimen that is manageable for her skin care routine. My daughter's acne has completely cleared and we now come in for maintenance appointments with Cynthya. We highly recommend Corrective Skincare and we have loved working with Cynthya. read more

Monyque at Corrective Skincare LA is an absolute MIRACLE WORKER!!!! I have suffered from acne since I was 11 years old and my family genetics made me believe that I would be suffering from it well into my 40s. OOF. But thanks to highly trained, trusted, & talented esthetician Miss Monyque and her skillz, I have cleared almost ALL of my acne by getting her legendary facials and learning how to take care of my skin using Corrective Skincare LA products! I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for @estymonyque & @correctiveskincarela for saving my skin! PLUS, Monyque and Haylie (who works the front desk!) never fail to put a smile on my face whenever I go in for an appointment....they are so kind & wonderful & ahhh if you are reading this and haven't tried Corrective Skincare LA yet, this is your sign to go book your appointment with Monyque right now!!! With much thanks & joy, Audrey :) read more

Corrective Skincare - My skin TRANSFORMATION thanks to Monyque at Corrective Skincare LA! - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Cynthya and Corrective Skincare have truly changed my skin. Since beginning treatments with Cynthya, my skin has cleared up and evened out with immediate improvement after the first visit. She helped me put together a personalized skin care routine specific to my skin type and issues. And she is always available by email if I have any product changes/questions. After treatments, my skin is immediately smoother and brighter. I appreciate that Cynthya is always transparent about what treatments and products she thinks are worth the splurge and where I can save in an effort to maintain a realistic regular routine. I would recommend Cynthya and Corrective Skincare to anyone who is frustrated with their skin and needs a refresh and some guidance. read more

The office is super cute and the staff is so friendly! I got a Diamond Glow with Cynthya and my skin looked so hydrated and felt great. It was such a fun experience and I would 100% go again. My esthetician was so patient and gave me great recommendations and was super transparent about the treatment. Book with Cynthya she's the sweetest!!! read more

My experience at corrective skincare has been nothing but amazing! I battled acne from hormones and a laser made it worse. I tried every product and nothing seemed to help. I started seeing Cynthya and ever since my skin has healed so much and I've gotten so many compliments on my skin. Cynthya is the sweetest and she knew exactly what my skin needed. I see her monthly and I am so grateful for her and her expertise! read more

I tell all my SugarHi clients to see Hannha. They are all in shock on how great my skin looks and how old I am!! Lol ! Wish I was the age they say! That's because I've always taken care of my skin by getting monthly facial, always wearing spf too! Hannha has given me my youth back for the past 5 year. She's helped my pigmentation from all my sunbathing days, 2 pregnancies and hormonal breakouts! In the past I couldn't leave the house with out some coverage of makeup. Hannha has helped me walk out makeup free, confident and seriously loving my skin! I've also been taking my now 16 year old son to see her for the last 2 years to help control his hormonal breakouts that teens go through and that has help him feel so confident in school. We both thank you for all the love and care you give us Hannha! So don't hesitate on taking care of yourself! It's your skin and you need to take care of it! With seeing her monthly I'm preventing, preserving my skin so I won't need Botox or fillers. I just need my peels and diamonds facial with Hannha! Thank you!! read more

Corrective Skincare - It's 630 am and i haven't even wash my face yet! I had a Diamond peel yesterday! Love it! Love her! - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Couldn't recommend Cynthya and the Diamondglow more! I have been doing the Vitamin C treatment and definitely have noticed a brighter glow to my skin, and chatting with Cynthya makes it such a good time! read more

Had an amazing experience with a Diamond Glow facial by CeCe recently, and I can't recommend it enough! CeCe not only pampered my skin but also eased my worries about getting the facial after oral surgery and taking antibiotics. My skin ended up looking incredibly glowy and cleaner than it has in years. I'll be back for more of that. Made me feel years younger. read more

Schedule your treatment today!! I heard about Corrective Skincare on a health and wellness podcast. They spoke highly of it and thought since it's close in proximity here on the Westside I'd book a facial. Walking into the medical building there was an air of "professionalism" and cleanliness. Cynthia performed the Diamond Glow on my face and neck. After the cleaning she infused the Vitamin C serum on these areas and it felt so great, my skin was tingling it was so clean! The next day my skin still looked glowy. Another positive note **there was absolutely no upselling on the facial options which is rare. read more

I have been going here since the end of 2019 up until present. This is the best esthetician clinic that I have ever been to. I have seen a few different estheticians over the years at this clinic and they are all very good. They are all trained by Jen. I have super sensitive skin and get glycolic treatments here. They listen to your concerns and are knowledgeable and experienced. My skin is allergic to many ingredients and they are cautious to avoid them. They are very skilled, kind, and results-driven which I love. I now live in Orange County so it is hard for me to go out there as often as I would hope to for taking care of my skin. I highly recommend this place and any esthetician there to everyone. I have been to many estheticians and have had bad experiences other places because of my allergies but at this place you are in good hands, and they are truly the best! Thank you so much! read more

I wish I took before pictures... It's been 4 days and my skin already looks better. I have adult acne since I got off birth control. I was used to seeing clear radiant skin. After a full treatment and a few nights following instructions I already see a difference. Clearer and glowing! Highly recommend. Dane did a great job working on my skin and explaining everything. read more

Jennifer here is so lovely and kind. I asked a question about keloid scar removal, which they don't do but she let me know about someone else she recommended. I really appreciated how friendly and responsive she was!! read more

I brought my daughter in for a treatment, she is developing the dreadful pre teen acne, Jen was just amazing with her. She walked her through the process of what she was going to do, as well as a descriptive at home regime for us to follow. I must say, I have not seen my daughters skin look more glowing and clear as I did when she was a baby! I highly recommend Jen. She is fantastic, also her office is so well maintained and clean. We cant wait to go back!! read more

So happy I finally got to visit Corrective Skincare again!! I went to Jen (the founder) years ago at their previous location, but was highly recommended by friends I trust to return for a much-needed facial at their new location. Cynthya was FABULOUS. The intake forms were sent right away at time of booking and were super easy to fill out. Parking is easy in the neighborhoods around their location and it's a very efficient check-in process once you arrive. She took the time to go over what I was envisioning for my skin, and I told her I would defer to her judgement on what exact serum I should use. I opted for the Diamond glow facial since I have an event coming up - I much prefer facials and body work that get the job done efficiently and quickly, and don't need anything "fluffy". While they do have a more "pampered" option, this is the magic stuff and team to utilize if you are looking for something that really goes "under the surface" and makes an immediate, visible difference by professionals who love what they do, and know exactly how to do it! I'll be sure to visit again and report back on the after-effects of the facial - Cynthya is a doll and also IMMEDIATELY followed up via email after I left with some directions on what to do with another topical treatment I've been using (just to avoid any skin issues post-facial). I LOVE places who rock at what they do (and also don't push products - you will not get that here). Thank you immensely, Cynthya! Be back soon! :) read more

8 years ago I walked into the Encinitas office and my face was in shambles! I was 22 and didn't know a thing. I had 3 facials here, I think one face peel and I never had skin problems again! Of course I cleaned up my diet, but my scarring and texture was gone. The products I purchased here were beautifully formulated. So gentle and for one I wasn't crying after washing my face. Highly recommend corrective skincare. I don't know if she's still around but I believe my esties name was Sophie. Very sweet and gentle woman! read more

I've had a great experience coming to corrective skincare. Everyone is very professional and the space is always clean. Dane has been incredible throughout the process of transforming my skin. She's very knowledgeable and really takes the time to listen and talk about your skins needs! read more

I legitimately don't even have words for how incredible this place is. I have struggled with acne since I was 12 - did two rounds of Accutane, have been on Spirinolactone for 5+ years, and have tried basically every topical medication under the sun. I moved to LA from Texas a little over a month ago and my skin totally freaked out - it looked worse than it has since I was in high school. A friend recommended CS so I made an appointment and I'm in awe of the results. I did a full treatment with Dane and took home the pads and benzoyl peroxide product. Combined with icing, I've been using the products for a week (literally 7 days since my treatment) and my skin looks better than it has in years. I will never go anywhere else for my skin ever again - this has already changed my life in a WEEK and I cannot wait to go back for my next treatment!! THANK YOU! read more

Today, I had my first diamond glow treatment at Corrective Skin Care. I had the opportunity to meet Jennifer, who was very kind. Cynthya was my aesthetician, and she was so sweet. She explained step-by-step what she was going to do next. I can't wait to go back. My skin feels nice and clean. I highly recommend it. read more

I had my first appointment today with Cynthya. I've never seen an esthetician before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Cynthya was so nice and walked me through everything. She educated me on so many things about my skin that I had never known before and thoroughly explained the treatment and products she used. I was a little nervous going into it, but Cynthya and the rest of the staff were welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. I left feeling the most confident about my skin than I ever have! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Monyque changed my life. I came to Corrective Skincare with a lifetime of not-great looking and feeling skin. At 31, I had always been suffering from breakouts and overall poor skin texture. I found CS on Yelp as I was looking for a place to get facials that was walking distance from my home. I cannot believe I found this gem and the effects it has had on my life. Over the course of one year, I went every 6 weeks and only used their products. Yes, it is not cheap, but my god it is worth every penny. My skin completely transformed. I loved going to see Monyque so much. She is the most kind, loving human being and I always felt so safe and seen in her hands. She always explained everything to me, what she was doing and why, every visit was always so informative, such a pleasure and something I was always looking forward to. Monyque's expertise cleared my skin. I haven't gotten a facial in 6 months and my skin has been impeccable. I am now finishing and phasing out CS products and using other ones and my skin is responding without an issue. So if you have suffered from skin issues, give CS a try! read more

I would give zero stars if possible. It took me a while to write this review because I'm still so traumatized, upset, and dealing with the repercussions of trusting Jen with my wedding skincare prep. I am very very dissapointed with Jen. DO NOT COME HERE if you 1) want a clinician who cares about you and 2) want a clinician who will fix you/know what they're talking about. I spent $300+ only to have my skin RUINED and to buy expensive skincare products that I then had to trash because they were the cause of my ruin. My experience: I am getting married early November 2021 and wanted to get my skin under control. I had a few random strange pimple looking things around my mouth that I wanted to fix so I did a virtual consultation with Jen. Because I was a new customer, she was super nice and responsive and scheduled me for a consult right away. I sent her tons of pictures and on the facetime call, zoomed in on my face to show her my red acne spots. I thought since she was a PA which is a higher licensure than a regular aesthetician, she'd know her stuff. But she didn't ... she told me I have "acne" from my oily skin and recommended I buy her Acne Bundle #2 for $200+ as well as come in every 2 weeks for a facial (though they wouldn't be able to see me in person until 2 months later). I was willing and ready to drop thousands to look good for my wedding so I immediately agreed and paid. I kept a thorough record of how my skin progressed as I started to use the green face wash, benzoyl peroxide, and phresh face correction pads. And my skin got alarmingly worse and worse each day even on the days I didn't use actives, and even though I literally watched her youtube videos as I applied the products to make sure I was applying them correctly. During the consult, she told me to reach out anytime because she truly "cares" about my skin journey. Well, when my skin started worsening and reacting TERRIBLY as soon I started her products, I sent her pictures of my drastic downward spiral and she responded with a really rude response (that from my reading her negative reviews I now understand is common practice.) Rather than spend time trying to help heal me/admit that maybe her diagnosis/advice was incorrect, she took the time to instead count how many emails/pictures I had sent her so she could throw it in my face and try to "fire me" as a client. Plus, she blamed me for "not following her instructions" and applying more active product than advised even though I had not. Basically, for the entire month of June I trusted her advice and kept using her products even though my skin kept getting worse and worse. Finally, when my entire face was covered in huge red bumps and I was about to cancel my wedding because I was severely depressed, I decided to simply send a picture of my face to my PCP through the Kaiser mobile app. I asked my PCP if I could get hormone testing because I thought I had some serious issue, but from just ONE picture that my PCP forwarded to a Kaiser dermatologist - I was told I have PERIORAL DERMATITIS - NOT ACNE - and was prescribed doxycycline. The dermatologist told me to do zero therapy (cold water only) and take the antibiotics. So this whole time, from the start, I had perioral dermatitis - NOT acne - and ACNE products severely worsen dermatitis. If Jen was a true professional, she would have been able to diagnosis this from any one of the "too many pictures I burdened her with." Instead, she claimed it was acne the entire time only to continue pushing her products. She really doesn't care about me, about you, about anything except making $ back for her business that was hurt during COVID from salon shut-downs. Anyways ... once I threw away all her products and used nothing but water and took my meds, my skin cleared up practically overnight and I'm MIRACULOUSLY left with zero scarring. I sent Jen an email to explain what happened so she can avoid doing this to other patients, as my dermatologist tells me perioral dermatitis is increasingly common now because of sweating while wearing masks all day and she never responded. Too prideful to admit she was wrong. I also asked for a refund which she of course did not grant. She would have, if she cared at all. I know this because I went to Mary Scott skincare to get a refill of the green facial shampoo during June (they sell the exact same products btw) and when I explained my diagnosis to them, they GLADLY refunded me for the products. PLEASE go there instead if you have traditional acne problems ... so much better, kinder, and more knowledgeable than Corrective Skincare. Save your money, save your face. And if you have a skin condition that looks like acne but worsens with acne treatments - please do make sure it's not dermatitis - because acne products make dermatitis worse altho it looks A LOT like acne. Hope this helps someone, and Jen - don't bother responding here after ignoring me via email. read more

Cannot recommend Corrective Skincare enough. Thank you Hannah!!! I have dealt with acne for years. Nothing has worked for me until I made an appointment with Hannah. Immediately after my first appointment, my skin completely transformed. She did many many extractions and gave me a simple morning/night routine. I healed quickly and the results just a week later was shocking!! My skin has NEVER looked so clear and clean before seeing her. And my skin has improved more and more after every visit. I've been out of town for a few months and refuse to see anyone but her until I'm back in Santa Monica! She is such a kind and caring person. A huge weight I've been carrying for years has finally been lifted off my shoulders thanks to Hannah. Miss u! read more

First ever facial and my skin feels great! cant wait to see the results in the following days. Dehlia did my facial, she was very kind and explained every step of the facial very well. read more

I got my first facial here for my birthday with Dane. She was fabulous, I had a great experience! We did extractions, a rubber mask, glycolic acid, and some more treatments. Dane was sweet and helpful and explained everything very well. She did recommend some of their products but there was no pressure at all to purchase, though I did end up getting their pH glycolic/salicylic acid pads. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Got my first ever facial here and wow! What a great experience. Got the diamond glow with Cynthia (she was great) and everything was wonderful and clean. No complaints and I will definitely be back. Thank you, Cynthia! read more

Overpriced and under-experienced. There are so many amazing places to get a facial in Santa Monica, here ain't it sis. Update: so I saw the owners response to this review, but I went through the yelp for this business and it seems no matter what the complaint it's somehow never her fault anyway. I'll save us the time and tell you that from my end, this relationship isn't a good fit. read more

Simply the best, better than all the rest! Wait- did they write that song about Corrective Skin Care? I had bad acne out of nowhere around age 28. I saw my regular doctor, dermatologist, and tried several facials with little to no long term improvement. Then I went to Jen! Last person I told myself!!! My friend was her Receptionist at the time and swore by her. Oh Jen!! She literally helped me clear my acne within weeks. In just a few days I was already clear at least 50%. She taught me about proper use of topical products, helped me wean off the heart medication a Dermatologist had me on for my acne. I have been able to maintain my complexion ever since. I see Jen from time to time to refresh and catch up. Things are forever evolving and she's always the forefront of knowledge. Go here! Trust them! They are true Professionals! read more

Hannah is literally a miracle worker. I've had a lot of issues with my skin after giving birth, from cystic acne to melasma, and she's cleared me up every time. I walk in with pimples, and the next day it's all cleared up; it's wild! I've had some 911s where I broke out before a big event, and she got me in to save the day. My dark spots have almost all cleared up with the Diamond Glow facials. I'm obsessed! I drive an hour+ to see her because she's that good! She's also the funniest, nicest, sweetest person ever, and I look forward to hanging out with her too :) read more

I came in for a facial with Cynthia and she was amazing! I was concerned about dryness and being acne prone and she did an amazing job listening to my concerns and guiding me along through my treatment and recommended me and amazing routine that I love! Love her. read more

This review is loooong over due and I feel bad for taking so long to write it because my experience with Corrective Skin Care has been nothing short of a glow up! I started going to Corrective shortly after the pandemic crisis, which also put my skin in its own crisis!! I've been struggling with managing adult acne for some years now and let me tell you... after working with Monyque, she helped me get my acne under complete control. Upon my very first visit, what I loved the most was that Monyque didn't just ask me questions about my skin, but she also educated me. I've always been used to using so many different products and devices in my skin care routine, but Monyque helped me see that less is more! My products dropped to only 3 products in the day, and 3 at night. I quickly saw a change in my skin after only about a month of using Corrective skin cares products with Monyque's guidance. I went from having textured skin with cystic acne to smooth skin with very little breakouts. I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon CSC, not only will Monyque help you get your skin glowing, her customer service and friendliness is priceless! Thank you Monyque and team for helping me feel ever better about myself! xo I'll see you soon Monyque read more
