    Clean and professional. The office feels more like a clinical skin health setting than a typical spa, which I really liked. Everything was explained clearly, and nothing felt rushed or pushy. You can tell there's a strong understanding of skin health, not just surface-level treatments. I also appreciated that recommendations felt honest and tailored, not like a sales pitch. Great experience overall, I'll be back for sure.

    Grabbed a simple skincare routine following some recommendation after my appointment. Everything was explained clearly and made sense for everyday use. No pressure, no overcomplicating it. I want to keep with aging in a simple way. Products feel solid and easy to stick with to help some texture and dryness.

    Ms. Tiffany recommended these products to me, and they really help my skin :) !

    Ms. Tiffany is very nice, welcoming, and really takes time to explain everything. She made me feel super comfortable and answered all my questions! I had an amazing experience here and I seriously love my appointments with her!

    I wanted something simple that made me look fresher without doing anything extreme. SKInstitute put together a plan that was easy to follow and the results look natural. My skin tone is more even and I definitely look more rested. Thank You So M

    My wife comes here and I needed some relief for work related dry skin. The appointment was on time, professional, and straightforward. The esthetician was knowledgeable and explained things clearly. It was relaxing. Skin looked better after. I'm not interested in skin care at all but I purchased and carry this at work and use it when needed and it's a life saver. Highly recommend and will be back.

    Went in for acne but also wanted to address fine lines and overall skin quality. I liked that SKInstitute looks at both acne and aging instead of treating them separately. Very professional, calm space and realistic recommendations. I did buy a few products to add to my regimen but I'll be back every two weeks at first for treatments and look forward to it each time.

    I always have a great experience here. The space is clean and calming, and everything feels very intentional. I started getting a massage right before my facial and it's such a nice touch and convenient, the facial itself is always great. Booking is simple and communication is fast. It's a really good value for the level of care.

    Came in for my second treatment. Not super into skincare usually, but Ive enjoyed it. Very relaxing, loved the arm massage and hot towel treatment at the end, and the esthetician was gentle and informative. I'll be back

    I booked my first ever facial with Tiffany about a month ago and let me tell you it was super relaxing, therapeutic and luxurious!! My skin went from looking dry and dull to smooth and glowing. I definitely had to go in for a second time and now I'm incorporating this into my skin regime. Monthly custom luxe facial with derma plane is the way to go. You can truly see the results after, skin is flawless. Also, Tiffany is so easy to get along with and her studio is super comfy. Can't wait to continue my skin care journey with her. Thank you girly

I tried friends' recommendations in Beverly Hills, but a ritzy zip code doesn't guarantee technical expertise. I found a trusted resource at Skin 365 in Torrance. They have won my heart and more than a decade of loyalty. From the welcoming and uber-efficient Brandy at the front desk to the superior skills of nurses Elizabeth and JoLyn, Skin 365 is luminescent in the world of skincare. Not only do they make you feel comfortable and relaxed, but you leave feeling thoroughly pampered and cared for. Elizabeth always takes time to customize a treatment plan based on my goals - and most importantly, my budget. She is exceptionally knowledgeable on new and existing products and procedures, continually educating herself in the latest skincare techniques. She knows exactly which products would be best for me, and deploys her needles with a gentle and intuitive touch that instills confidence. The Skin 365 team is exceptional. Their product recommendations are thoughtful and on point. Brandy always takes care of the things I routinely forget, like helping me keep track of my product Loyalty Points, and validating my parking stub before the elevator doors close. Those customer experience touch points make a difference. So, you can stop furrowing your brow. If you seek a trusted team of specialists who truly know skin and care deeply about clients as individuals, look no further.

Front desk mentioned a deposit was needed and I was happy to pay that, but then she said that I might as well pay the full amount while I'm there. So I paid the full amount for the service. Something came up the next day and it wouldn't have been worth injecting a zit days later. So I called to cancel and am then told they couldn't refund me. I can still come in and get the service done any time, but since it was for a one time acne lesion, I won't really be needing it. Plus I work at a nearby med spa and was only in the area. It would have been nice if someone told me upfront that if I cancelled, my money would be kept. Especially because I understand that being the case for the deposit, but I was encouraged to pay the full amount and all of it was kept. Of course I couldn't dispute the charge because it's in their fine print... A little upfront honesty and clarity would have gone a long way though.

    I'll start with the good. Parking was easy, the building is nice, the office was easy to find, and…read moreoverall the facility itself is great. Unfortunately, my experience inside the office was a completely different story. From the minute I walked in, something just felt off. The first person who greeted me at the front desk simply asked, "What's your name?" No hello, no welcome, no "How are you?" Just straight to business. I actually said, "Hey, how are you doing?" and had to repeat myself. It almost seemed like he was surprised that I was asking how he was doing. It might sound like a small thing, but first impressions matter, especially in a medical office. A simple "Hi, welcome in" goes a long way. The office was also extremely quiet. I didn't see any other patients, there wasn't much going on, and the same elevator-type music seemed to be playing on a loop. I sat in the lobby for about five minutes while I could see staff talking in the back. Eventually, someone came out and brought me into an exam room. This is where things became even more uncomfortable. I was told to undress and stand on a white cloth because the floor was cold. No gown or robe was offered. I had to specifically ask for one, and the response was basically that they normally don't give patients one. I said I wanted one, and they eventually gave me one. That was a big red flag for me. If you're asking someone to undress for an exam, providing some type of covering seems like a pretty basic patient-comfort thing. Then the doctor came in with another person holding an iPad. I had no idea who she was at first. I asked and was told she was there to help document everything. Maybe that's standard for this office, but when someone is potentially about to examine you while you're undressed, I think an introduction and explanation beforehand would be appropriate. At that point, I had already made up my mind. I wasn't comfortable getting undressed or doing a full exam. I stayed dressed, asked the doctor to look at the two specific things I came in for, and kept the visit short. When I checked out, they asked if I wanted to schedule another appointment because the doctor wanted to see me again in 30 days. I declined. But here's the part that really sealed it for me. About 30 minutes after I left, I actually called the office because I wanted to give the doctor feedback directly rather than just go online and write a review. I asked to speak with her and was told she wasn't available. I left my phone number and asked for a callback. They even asked what the call was about, and I specifically said I wanted to provide feedback about my experience. I never received a call back. That was red flag number four. The frustrating part is that none of my concerns were about the building, parking, or even the doctor's medical knowledge. It was the overall experience and the lack of basic communication and warmth. Say hello when someone walks in. Explain what's going to happen before asking them to undress. Offer them something to cover themselves with. Introduce the additional person entering the exam room. And if a patient calls afterward specifically wanting to provide feedback, at least acknowledge the call. Those little things matter. I left feeling less like a patient and more like I was just being moved through a process. And when I tried to give the office an opportunity to hear that feedback directly, nobody called me back. Based on my experience, I won't be returning, and with the number of dermatologists available throughout Torrance and the South Bay, I personally wouldn't recommend this office.
