I have been going to Putri at Matahari Skin Solutions for over a year now. I first found Putri when I was looking to revamp my skin before my wedding. She has completely transformed my skin with both chemical peels as well as microneedling. I have had some reset facials as well. Putri has a wealth of knowledge and always helps you stick to the best skincare routine for your skin. She never recommends expensive or trendy products. She focuses on simple yet effective skincare. I really appreciate everything she has done for me and I can't recommend her enough! If you are lucky enough to snag an appointment with her, consider yourself lucky! read more

I've been seeing Putri for nearly a decade, and I can honestly say she has completely transformed my skin. Her custom facials and product recommendations have kept my skin healthy, glowing, and balanced through every stage of life. She helped me safely adjust my routine during pregnancy, and later supported my mom when she was going through chemo and struggling with severely dry, irritated skin. That kind of care and knowledge is rare, and I'm so grateful for it. What I love most is that she's incredibly smart and ethical, she never pushes products for profit. Instead, she'll tell you exactly what you need and what you don't and even where to buy it so you can save money. Her priority is always what's best for your skin, not her bottom line. Now that she's opened her own appointments, I'm thrilled to continue with her independently. I trust her completely with my skin and her advice. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, is deeply knowledgeable, and delivers results, she's the one. read more

I have been seeing Putri since 2019 (before she ventured out on her own and opened Matahari) and despite the fact that I have since moved out of the neighborhood and across the Bay to Oakland, I'm thrilled that I have been able to increase my frequency and consistency in seeing her.  That said, Putri never oversells me or tries to get me to come more often than needed; I treasure my ~quarterly appointments with her because they are both refreshing and relaxing. Quite the opposite of pushing me to book unnecessary treatments, Putri is so thoughtful and cost-conscious for her clients. She has done a (very small) spot-treatment peel on a stubborn sunspot as a courtesy during my facials, and she is diligent about researching excellent skincare products that are affordable so she can recommend them to her clients.  She is responsive via text if I have a product or scheduling question, and she's a delight in person. She is so thorough and I truly appreciate her intentionality in thinking through my treatments with me, whether it is booking before or after a sunny vacation I've booked or how the healing process is going afterwards.  As a brown person (a Filipina-Chinese woman with a medium/darker complexion that can tan quickly and easily), I am so grateful to have found an esthetician who understands how my skin and skin tone will react to products and treatments. I can't say enough good things about Putri and my only (temporary) hesitation to post this glowing review for her glow-inducing care is that it can already be tricky to book with her and her busy client schedule :) She is worth the wait though--go see her! read more

I've been going to Putri for roughly about 8 years now, I've been lucky enough to find Putri!!! I've been looking for an aesthetician to help me with my deep acne scars on my forehead and I can honestly says she has helped me a lot, my forehead has always been huge insecurity because of those scars, now I barely noticed that they're are there. Putri is very friendly and knowledgeable. If you have any questions she'll have the answer! read more

See all

Putri at Matahari Skin Solutions is absolutely the best! I've been seeing her for 6 years. I went to her to prep my skin for my wedding and have never turned back. What I love about Putri, other than the results, is her depth of knowledge about all things skincare. She provides so much education and I have learned a ton about how to best care for my skin and why! She never pushes products on me and has often helped me find more affordable products than what you see being advertised. I couldn't recommend her more. read more

I was referred to Putri nearly 3 years ago when I felt very much at the end of my rope with my skin. I was suffering from hyperpigmentation, active breakouts, hormonal breakouts, cystic acne...you name it. When I went to Putri the first time, I think I spent half of my facial crying because of how defeated I felt. Within a year, I saw drastic changes. Nearly all of my hyperpigmentation was gone, my breakouts had nearly stopped. It was incredible. Putri is really a miracle worker. I stuck to her routine she built me and continuously returned to her and I saw the results I wanted. What I appreciate most is that she is never is trying to upsell me on something. She only recommends me something that she feels would benefit my skin. I trust her 100% with my skin and I am always looking forward to my appointments. If you're at your wits end with your skin, she will be your hero. read more

I was recommended to Putri by my aunty. She is so thorough with her work and super insightful. The first time I met Putri, she asked me about my skincare routine. For each product, she searched the ingredients to get a better understanding of what I was using. With that, she made a skincare routine that would improve my skin. I truly appreciate that Putri takes the time to educate you on your skin type, things that aren't working for your skin, and how to improve it. She recommended products that are super affordable for college students like myself. During my last appointment with Putri, I received a chemical peel. There was a significant change in my skin. A few days later, she checked in and asked how the healing process went. Overall, my experience with Putri has been nothing but positive. read more

Putri has been my esthetician for almost 3 years now! Before I found Putri, I had adult acne that was severe and uncontrollable. My face was covered in acne and painful cysts, and nothing I tried made improvements. I have a healthy diet and am very diligent with my skincare. I felt so anxious and self-conscious about my skin that I would cake my face with makeup and make excuses not to socialize or leave the house. There were so many days where I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror and cried. I have PCOS, a common hormone disorder that affects one in ten women. At my first appointment with Putri, she astutely identified my PCOS and suggested I consult my doctor about starting spironolactone, an oral medication. My doctor confirmed that I had most of the symptoms and started me on the medication. Putri taught me about the science of skin and skincare and cleaned out my overly complicated and expensive skincare routine. I religiously saw her every ~2 months for facials, chemical peels, and microneedling. The combination of spironolactone, simple and clean skincare, and skin treatments significantly improved my acne and scarring. I am so happy to report that my skin is so clear! I still get pimples here and there and have flare-ups but they're very manageable and don't bother me. It's surreal for me to say this, considering that I've struggled with acne my entire life, but I barely wear face makeup and most days I don't wear makeup at all. I don't think I've ever felt so confident and comfortable in my own skin. My mental health and confidence are at levels I never thought possible for me. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I have so much more mental and physical bandwidth for my loved ones, work, and enjoying life :-) Investing in my skin has given me life dividends. It's one of the best investments I've made in my life, and I encourage everyone to do the same. I am undeniably happier and healthier, all thanks to my girl, Putri! She remains my skin guardian angel, and I still see her every 2 months. Thank you for everything, Putri! read more

I've been seeing Putri for about three years now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My skin has never looked better. I now have naturally glowing skin that I feel so confident in! She truly has a gift for understanding skin and tailoring treatments to meet my needs. Putri goes above and beyond to educate me about my skincare routine and recommend products that actually work. Thanks to her, I've seen such a transformation in my skin. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional skincare and a true professional. Trust me, it will be the best decision you'll make! read more

I went to Putri for years when I was living in San Francisco. Even after moving away, I always make an appointment with her whenever I'm in town -- that's how amazing she is for my skin! I appreciate how she doesn't try to upsell products or services, which makes me trust her when she is advising me on which types of products work best for my skin, which ones are worth spending on, and which are basically overpriced marketing gimmicks. Highly recommend 11/10!! read more

I have been going to Putri for years! She's the most exceptional aesthetician I have ever been to. She's very knowledgeable and cares a lot about your skin. She doesn't push any sales items unto you like some other med spas I have been to. If anything you get way more than your money's worth! She truly just wants you to feel beautiful in your own skin and she's the only one I trust with my sensitive/acne-prone/roseacea/eczema/hyper-pigmented type skin. Tip: book in advance! She sells out her appointments quick! read more

Over 6 years ago I had the incredible fortune to meet Putri! All my life I'd suffered through trying to self-treat my extremely acne-prone and sensitive skin without any success. From day one, Putri expertly explained and guided me through a clear and effective skin care plan which has absolutely transformed my skin! I had deep ice-pick scars, hyperpigmentation, pitted scars -- through following her recommended regimen and treatment, we've tackled all of these issues over the years and kept my skin healthy and looking fantastic! Not only are her treatments super effective and easy to follow, she's also so deeply kind and caring! She's always looking out for you and your health, always recommending (never pushing!) the best personalized treatment plan for you. You'll be in the best of hands with Putri, I can't recommend her highly enough! :) read more

I've been seeing Putri for over 2 years now and cannot recommend her services enough. I had spent decades trying to get my acne under control, spending countless cash, time, and tears trying to find something that works. As I got more desperate, the more expensive and complicated my skincare routine got. A colleague of mine has absolutely stunning skin, and so when she gave me Putri's information I made an appointment right away. The first appointment was spent going through my current routine and the ingredients in them at a very scientific level. We identified that some even have duplicate key ingredients so suffice to say, we have greatly reduced the complexity and cost of my daily skin routine. After several chemical peels both my acne flare ups subsided and my hyperpigmentation faded away as if they were never there. At my mid-thirties I am now often complimented on my skin by strangers, something that never used to happen to me. With Putri the search for good, stable skin, is over. I will continue to see her as long as she'll let me! read more

Where do I even begin with Putri! I've been coming to see Putri for 5+ years and she has transformed my skin. She doesn't just provide skin services but also gives so much valuable information to understand why she does certain techniques that is specific to your skin. She is also so helpful on understanding what products you should get vs not - there is no fluff! I absolutely love coming to see her and getting my face looking brand new. read more

I have been coming to Putri since 2022 and she has changed my entire skin and skin care routine! I have had cystic acne for majority of my life which left me with ice pick scars and discoloration scars all over my face. PURTRI was my light in this dark tunnel. She is s passionate about what she does and genuinely wants to help your skin get better. She has taught me so much about different skincare products as well as what make up product I should use to continue helping my face become better. Because of Putri I walk into work with NO MAKEUP on! I never thought it was even possible to get my skin to where it is today! I am so grateful for her and if your reading this no need to think about it any further book the appointment and thank me later read more

Matahari Skin Solutions - My recent picture! No Make up at all - Skin Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

A friend of mines recommended Putri about a year ago and I will forever be grateful. For the past few years I've struggled with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. I can say that after a year my skin is looking pretty darn amazing! During my first appointment Putri's attention to detail and educating me about my skin type/issues was evident from start to finish. She took the time to understand my skincare concerns and tailored the treatment accordingly. Not only was the treatment effective, but it was also incredibly relaxing. Putri has a calming presence that instantly puts you at ease. What truly sets Putri apart is her passion for her craft. It's evident that she genuinely cares about her clients' well-being and strives for perfection in every aspect of her work. She always goes above and beyond to ensure that I leave feeling rejuvenated and radiant. I get so many compliments on my skin nowadays! I cannot recommend Putri highly enough. If you're looking for an esthetician who combines expertise, professionalism, and a personal touch, look no further. read more

Putri is a once-you-find-her-you-never-leave-her aesthetician. She started waving her magic wand over my skin in 2018 and I believe I have only reverse-aged since then. Putri's treatment plans first helped heal acne scars, inflamed pores, and hyperpigmentation (late 20's), over time reduced and eventually eliminated hormonal and active breakouts (early 30's), and for the last few years (now 35) have kept my skin constantly rejuvenating to proactively combat the development of fine lines and wrinkles. I see her 2-4/yr and she always customizes our treatment for the season (so not too much sun exposure after certain treatments) and my skin's needs of the moment. As others have said, she is never trying to upsell you into a product suite, and always genuinely checking in on your skin health - for ex. will proactively ask to look over products for ingredients and provide feedback specific to your skin. To top it off she is the kindest, wisest, most lovely human to share your self-care moments with. When you're ready to unlock your next level of skin and self-care, call Putri. read more

Not only does my skin feel amazing, but I also leave glowing. It boost my confidence, so I don't feel the need to wear a lot of makeup. She always provides a personalized skin regimen, including both morning and nighttime night routine. I highly recommend her! read more

Highly recommend Putri! 've seen her since she was at MedEstheticsRx after my friend recommended me to her as I was looking for a new esthetician in the city. Putri helped her drastically improve her acne scars years ago, it was nigh and day the results. I've seen other estheticians before in SF and London and Putri is the best! She is highly knowledgable and really works with you to think about a long-term plan based on your needs and skin, and really appreciate her ad hoc advice in between sessions. read more

As a guy, I didn't really think much about skincare until I decided to go along with my wife to see Putri in 2017. I had major breakouts in the past and accepted that I wasn't born with clear skin. However, she worked closely with me to assess my skin issues, educated me on my condition, why my breakouts happened, and recommended treatments and new daily/nightly regimens to adopt. She developed a treatment program specifically tailored to me and I saw major improvements after a few months! Since leaving the SF bay area, I've tried other aestheticians but none of them were as thorough and (truly) caring as Putri. Every other person tried to upsell me on treatments and products, without asking me how I maintained my skin or what I've already tried. Every time I make a trip back to the SF Bay Area, I try to see Putri to get treated and more advice on my skin and regimen. She is the most professional, honest, and knowledgeable aesthetician that I've ever worked with. 5/5, 100% recommended! read more

Putri is THE best! She starts by educating you on your skin and the why behind anything she suggests whether treatment wise or products. She also doesn't remotely push products on her clients and in fact, suggests a lot of very inexpensive items you can buy at a drugstore. My skin is in a much better spot because of Putri and I'm so thankful to have been introduced to her! read more

Putri has been taking care of my skin for ~4-5 years and she has transformed not only the quality of my skin, but has graciously provided me with so much knowledge on how to take care of my skin long term. Forever thankful I found her! I have also recommended my mom, my sister, and my husband to see her too :) read more

I highly recommend putri she is the best in the Bay Area. She has done wonders on my skin.

Would give more stars if possible!! Putri is absolutely incredible and has transformed my skin and skin care routines. I was referred to Putri about 8 years ago and have been seeing her regularly since.

Her knowledge and passion for her craft is enormous and I'm so lucky to have such an expert taking care of me! read more

She continues to keep me looking glowy and young, you will not regret making an appointment with her. read more

I have worked with Putri for many years. And hands down she is the best aesthetician I know. I have done several treatments with her including extraction facials, chemical peels and micro needling. She is very skilled and very trustworthy. I think when we work with aestheticians trust and care becomes very critical. And Putri is extremely caring and confident. She always goes out of the way to explain everything multiple times and knows a lot about her treatments. And the results are great. She is fantastic. read more
