I was having issues with dry skin and I'm getting older so my skin is starting to change. I needed some professional advice on what type of skin regiment I should be doing and I knew just who to ask. I called up Char and told her what was going on , she listened to me and gave me advice on what she thought would work best. I purchased the barrier repair ultimate serum and the hydrating cleanser. It works like a dream! I've been using them for months and I get compliments on my skin everywhere I go. Char is an expert in skincare and I will never be buying other products again. read more

Char isn't an acne specialist i went to her 6x and my acne never went away. She doesn't even know what kind of acne i had , which was nodular acne btw. She charges 400$ per facial and forces you to buy her products every session. I also brought my boyfriend and she charged him 100$ on top on his facial and didn't tell him why and when i asked her she said because he had a big face and she had to "use more products" .. who says stuff like that or charges for that ? So rude. She also charged him 50$ for sample products when she gives samples for free away. She was trying to take advantage and scam us. I asked for refund and she doesn't want to reply LOL. You're better off going to Korean spa or just get tretinoin from doctor because all she does is moisturize your face for 400$. And the only equipment she has is red light therapy .. Korean spas are more advanced and has more equipment!! Don't go to her she will scam you for your money. Just go to your doctor they know a lot more than her. ALSO SHE TRIED TO DELETE MY REVIEW BECAUSE I WANTED ALL MY MONEY BACK AS A REFUND!!! AMD SHE STOPPED REPLYING WHEN I COMPLAINED! AND SHE CLAIMS I BLACKMAILED HER AND GOT MY REVIEW DELETED LOL. read more

I called Char and left a message for her to call me back for a recommendation for product to help with my face. I have been struggling with dark lines and general age related skin issues. She promptly returned me call and was able to recommend products from her line. After the consultation she promptly sent out the products to me. After starting the regimen under her direction I started seeing almost immediate results. Her products have been amazing. Her knowledge and assistance has been unmatched from my experience. Looking forward to the continued progress. She has definitely earned a long time customer. read more

I recently contacted Char on behalf of my wife. We are not conveniently located to be able to stop by for an appointment. After speaking with Char and explaining the results my wife is interested in she was able to recommend a number of her products that would help. She provided detailed instructions as well as phone calls when we had questions that allowed my wife to properly use the products. My wife felt immediate results and has been extremely happy with the results. He skin is softer and healthier then she has had in many years. It is refreshing to be able to deal with a specialist that has obviously dedicated her life to the betterment of others. Char tells you like it is about what you need to do and what you should not do, for better or worse. read more

I used to have really bad acne that was everywhere along my face before coming to see Char. Ever since I've been seeing Char, I've always had an amazing experience and makes me feel welcomed the minute I walk in. She took time to understand my skin, concerns, and explained to me how each treatment works. My skin has improved so much since seeing her. I have less of a breakout and it feels even healthier than before. I always leave feeling happy and satisfied. read more

Skin By Char - Char's products are the best, they're so important in the process of controlling acne. I absolutely love her face wash. - Acne Treatment Near Me - Westminster, California

Char is the most knowledgeable and caring person who is passionate about helping people with problem skin. And she's also great at her profession. I have only been seeing Char for the past two months but I am already seeing drastic improvements in my skin and loving how my skin feels. I am in my 50s and have tried MANY estheticians and dermatologists over the years. Most estheticians clean your face and do some minor extractions and then a mask and it feels good during the treatments but the effects are not long lasting. I admit in my younger years, I suffered from terrible acne and who knew I would still suffer from adult acne now. My acne is problematic since I didn't take good care of my skin through the years and didn't have quality facials. Therefore my pores are large and deeply clogged. I have always hated and been self conscious about the bumps on my cheeks. My last treatment with a dermatologist, she tried burning the bumps with an electric needle and deeply extracting the pore but left scars that would take long to heal or is now permanently scarred. My first appointment with Char, she explained everything in detail and discussed my concerns. She really takes the time to educate me on my skin and how the treatments will take time to improve and most importantly IT IS NOT a one visit, one treatment expectation to fix many years of neglect on my part. It takes time to treat and allow time for your skin to heal and home care is especially important if you want results. I did invest in Char's products for my home care and purchased what I needed most and then added to my regimen each time I saw Char. At no point did I feel Char push to sell her products but only recommended them and worked with my budget. The products are quality creams and serums and makes my skin feel so soft and smooth after a month of using them. It is definitely an investment and well worth it if you want to have good skin. It is far less expensive than seeing a dermatologist who charges a lot with no results which I have experienced. Each time I see Char, the treatments are different and customized to my skin needs. She takes time during the treatments and doesn't take phone calls or other clients while she is with me. I see improvements in my skin after her treatments and I am ecstatic to see my skin being so much brighter, smoother and even the bumps on my cheeks are shrinking and improving. My skin feels as smooth as baby's skin. I have also received compliments on my complexion and friends asked if I had something done as they say I look younger and skin is brighter. I rarely wear make up now and just apply the tinted sunscreen after my skin care regimen and my skin looks great! I am so glad I finally found Char and I am so happy and confident in how my skin feels and looks. Thank you Char. You are simply the Best !!!! read more

I wrote my review 10 years ago and I still feel the same way. I haven't seen Char in a very very long time and she worked her magic. She still has the same philosophy as she did back then...get her client's skin to be glowing and healthy. She really knows her stuff and spends her time educating us on the best way to care for your skin. If you are in it to get your skin healthy and glowing, go see Char. I'm glad I am back because it really shows in my skin. Thanks Update 4/25: I just saw Char and she spent more time on my face. She always makes you feel special and makes the experience special. Her one on one consultation and knowledge about your skin helped me clear up my acne. Appreciate it when she pulls out the pictures and models of the skin to explain what is going on. Her products are AMAZING! I've used it for years and I always get compliments on how great my skin is. read more

Char gave my 11 years old daughter something that, as a parent and professional in the medical field, I couldn't give--beautiful, manageable skin. She tailored the treatments to my daughter's understanding and ability/motivation to follow a routine. It's not only products and facials, but a good amount of time was spent with the educational aspect of acne. Char taught her that her lifestyle habits (diet, sleep, stress) are just as important as skincare routines. We did it as a team without having to resort to antibiotics and drugs (Accutane, yikes!!) Yes, the process takes patience as the skin start to heal with the treatments (it took my daughter's skin 3 months, going once a week, before she can look in the mirror with a big smile and say, 'mom, look how nice my skin is!') Yes, it's a financial investment but it was well worth the time, efforts, and $$$ when you see the outcome. Most especially, I was able to curtail the self esteem issues that plague the teenage/young adult years when they have bad skin. Puberty will have its ups and downs with breakouts, and even beyond this phase of my daughter's life. But now, she knows how to manage it. It's a life skill that she can hold herself accountable for. I love that Char is very personable, honest, and caring. It's not about selling her services and products. It's about getting the results that both she and the client are happy with. We are now in the maintenance phase of the treatment and don't have to go as often. Char is not for everyone. If you're serious about seeing results and ready to trust a professional in the skincare field, Char is your expert go-to. read more

She's always there for you and your skin and she genuinely cares. I think she's the only one that has treated my skin problems like it's an emergency when I feel the urgency to see her...even on a Sunday! I think your skin is in great hands when you see her. read more

This lady scams people she claims that she does acne treatments but won't tell you what type of facial she does on the phone. It's because she only does basic facials lol. All she does is try to sell you her products and forces you to buy it and her products aren't even acne related and doesn't cure acne. According to her website there is nothing acne related that will help!!!! She charges 500$ just to give a simple basic facial and claims that it's acne related. Stop scamming and bothering people please! read more

Char is a wizard when it comes to your skin and skincare routine. I have learned so much from her in the past month of receiving her services. I will continue to go to her for all my skincare needs. Anytime I have a question or concern she is quick to respond with genuine expertise. I am at an age where I truly want to take care and invest in my skin and Char has made this possible. My skin has changed dramatically since coming to Char (for the best). I am starting to wear little to no make up which is my goal and I'm practically there! Thank you for everything you do Char. You are truly a gem. read more

I honestly never have received such an educational facial session in my life. Char is very passionate and talks to you about your skin health like a mentor. She just does not do your face she actually works through the whole session step-by-step to help you achieve the greatest skin potential you can possibly achieve.. she checks up on you and is very personable my skin felt so much cleaner at the end of the session and I purchased her products. I like that her SPF is reef friendly and her biodegradable products really makes me feel less guilty along with not being tested on animals. Skin is very hard work and you just have to keep up with it twice a day read more

Trying to keep this short. I'm 41 and had TERRIBLE skin in high school. I unknowingly destroyed by skin barrier from all the harsh "acne fighting" products. After struggling for decades, I finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on professional help. My skin has never been this healthy and balanced in my entire life. I used to be INSANELY oily and my skin was always red. Now it's so much less reactive and almost dry (it's probably just normal which is foreign to me). You do have to visit on a regular basis and use Char's recommended products, but I promise it's worth it. Char is amazing! read more

Update! 4 months later and my skin still looks even and I rarely break out. My skin tone is evening out and I get comments constantly about my skin. My skin hasn't been this clear in forever and I am so happy with the turn out. I highly recommend Char!! read more

Char is a miracle worker. I've been to tons of derms and tried literally every trick in the book to get rid of my acne scarring, all of which resulted in me just crying and feeling terrible. No one listened to me, they all told me it was cystic acne but I knew needed treatment for scarring. All they'd do is give me pills or birth control for hormonal acne which I did NOT have! I wanted treatment and instead they'd make me cry or feel worse. Early 2022 I went in to see Char for the first time and her treatment was wonderful, the ONLY ONE that EVER worked and did anything for me and that was only after my first visit... but I couldn't afford it, until January of this year 2023 when I woke up with the worst rash I've ever seen, under eyes peeling, skin BURNING, I'd never experienced anything like it so I called Char after not seeing her for almost a year and went in for an emergency treatment where she broke to me that my skin's condition had escalated to a bacterial infection and I was at risk of dermatitis. Below you can see how my skin was acting and how bad my infection was and how after just a month my skin has looked better than it has since I was 18. Char listens to her clients and treats them with respect, she is truly there to help you and not just for money and it's why she gained my trust enough for me to call HER and not anyone else on that morning that I woke up with my rash even though I hadn't seen her in a year. I will be continuing treatment and will update my results. Stop spending your money on products and derms and go see her. She is costly but so so so SO worth it. read more

Char is my favorite esthetician now & forever. I'm in my 30s now & sadly, I have been dealing with acne for more than half my life. Before meeting Char, I've been struggling to find a good esthetician that I can trust & go to for my skin needs but believe it or not, I've never been able to find anyone good. I searched and tried numerous Groupon deals because like many of us, we are on a budget & believe that maybe all esthetician are similar in ways because they went through the school program but I realize I was wrong. I even tried to search yelp reviews as I was so desperate that maybe I need to spend a lot of money to get good results and let me tell you, I was also wrong. I want to mention that during these years I've also tried numerous of products and products that were recommended by these esthetician and none seem to work! Fast forward, I've gave yelp reviews another try and though Char may not have many reviews like other businesses, she's definitely the best one. I'm thankful to have finally found Char. She's personable, sweet, and cares a lot about your skin. Her facials are customized based on your skin that you arrive that day. Her facials are always more than an hour as you can not put a time on getting the complete facial that's for your skins needs. I definitely see a difference in my skin and that's why now I'm a believer of Chars work. Char even have her own skin line! She's not pushy in selling them which I appreciate but I purchased them to try because of course, I want my skin/acne to be treated & stay clean. I started out with the basic skin care with face wash, astringent, toner, and moisturizer. And now I've added serums! Char is the only skin care like that I use. My face now is less clogged and noticeable softer! It's amazing. Char believes in her work & believes in making your skin better! read more

After just one visit with Char, my cystic acne cleared and my swollen jawline and neck disappeared. This past year I watched my skin struggle and get worse with new products and even with hydro facial treatments. I've tried everything from highly influenced skin care and supplements to prescribed topicals, diet change, and antibiotics to help clear my skin yet nothing was helping. I found Char here on Yelp and saw the posted before and after pics and thought might as well try, I have nothing to lose at this point. I gave her a call on thanksgiving weekend, not expecting to receive a call back till the following week... she called me back within 20 minutes and was able to schedule me for treatment that same week! Char spent about 3 hours with me during my treatment and broke down everything with me. She explained the condition my skin was in and went into detail about the ingredients and nutrition I need to be feeding my skin. Char has created a whole and complete skin care line that she uses in her treatments. She tested her products on me first to ensure the safety and protection of my skin, and no irritation at all!! Here this whole time I thought I had sensitive skin, it turns out the retail products just don't cut it. Skin Care by Char has completely changed my skin in the best way possible, literally within one treatment and just days of using her products. This has truly been the greatest experience I've ever had with any esthetician or business for that matter. Also, the vibe is just so comforting. Char really does care about your skin and the results you see. She checks in on you in between treatments and will coach you through every step of the way. I can't recommend Char enough! If you are feeling down and helpless about your skin, reach out to Char and give her products a chance. read more

Char is a wonderful esthetician as SHE KNOWS SKIN! She knows how to deal with the multitude of skin types out there and has created her own line of products. I am a mature woman with oily, sometimes acneic skin. Acne is gone now! I have a teenager that had acne and a preteen that had dry skin. Char has helped all three of us with our different types of skin! The girls are flawless and the envy of their classmates. Char goes in to great depth to share her knowledge with you. I am an academic type so I love learning and since she has helped unclog my skin, I am a true believer in not only Char's wisdom but her products as well! I live out of state so I text her to get more products and call her in advance of my arrival to secure our appointments as this is a highlight to our traveling to CA. I try not to think of Char retiring because what the heck would we do?! Thankfully skin is her passion and I know she will be doing this for a loooong time. Char is the absolute expert regarding skin. Hands down she is the best esthetician I have been to. We love this lady and how she makes our skin feel! This is where you go if you want your skin to glow! Char- you glow girl!! XOXO read more

Wanted to update my review on Skin by char. Char is still amazing at helping with my skin. Any questions or anything I like to know she gives me the best answers.

Came in today and had my first session with Char. I wanted to get an extraction done and I did. I struggle with acne and Char really really took care of me. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. She is beyond friendly, so much where I felt like we have been friends for a long time, which is awesome! One of the nicest person I've met in a long time. She is very knowledgeable and really knows her stuff compared to most. She did a very thorough job for me and I was definitely satisfied with her service and work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone that actually cares about your skin. I even got free samples of her skin care! All I can say is, she is awesome and highly recommend her! read more

Oh, my goodness!! Char doesn't just do a facial, she does a full class on skin along with an amazing in depth skin treatment! She is very knowledgeable and a real pleasure to be with. After a thorough questionnaire, she cleansed my face and did several treatments. When she was finished she moisturized my skin. Char did such a good job that when I went to pay by Zelle my phone didn't recognize me! I tried several times, but my Face ID didn't work. Thankfully, Char let me send the payment after I got home where I could access it another way. Wow! Now, I call that some phenomenal facial! My face looks brighter and smoother and I think she must have erased off a few years, too! I'll definitely be going back to Char for regular facials and to purchase her wonderful skin care products. read more

Wow what a sincerely nice person! I was freaking out bc my skin is covered in bumps and inflamed and she was so kind to have me send her photos and give me advice over the phone on what I should do. Seriously never encountered someone so willing to help even before I booked an appointment with her. read more

Char recently showed me before and after photos of my skin. She's really helped eliminate my blackheads, cleared up my dark patches, and lightened my skin. I look like a completely different person!

I was having a mental breakdown in my car this morning over how bad my acne is and I was looking for a dermatologist but came across Char. This woman made my whole day. We talked on the phone for like 35 minutes and without even knowing me she did not hesitate to try to calm me down and gave me so much advice and reassurance that it would be okay. I got emotional on the phone and she was right there by my side. She told me to come into her office and she was kind enough to give me some travel skincare to try out and then see where we can go from there. She truly is like a mentor and is such an uplifting and inspiring woman. Don't worry, you are in great hands. She has hundreds of certificates in her store like it is mind blowing. I am just amazed at her kindness and I am comforted to know that I have made a new relationship who can guide me through this tough journey. She had nothing to benefit from helping me as she did it for free; I am truly inspired by her to help others in such a positive way even when you have absolutely nothing to gain. Thank you Char. I've only known about Char since this morning and met her like one hour ago but I am truly moved by her care for her clients. She is a strong woman with an inspiring story. read more

Just had a phone consultation with Char and she was a pleasure to speak with. We talked about treatments for rosacea and she was very knowledgeable about the whole thing. She gave me a few tips and recommended that I get an official diagnosis for rosacea. The 5 star rating is for her professionalism and the fact that she was a delight to talk too. read more

Omg, where do I begin? I started going to Char almost 2 years ago when I was pregnant and my cystic acne started to act up again.

She is a real expert and is also very kind read more

I came in to see Char as a last resort effort to clear my skin. I have struggled with acne and textured skin for 4+ years and have tried a plethora of treatments and skincare routines. I've done PDT light therapy, laser, doxycycline pills, tretinoin and retinols, countless facials, and pretty much every product on the market. My skin alternated between whiteheads, blackheads, clogged pores, dry and oily sections, lots of texture, and overall lifelessness and dehydration. My busy schedule, constant sun exposure, and sensitive skin were all factors in the ways my skin responded to everything that I was doing to it. But just after 1 session of treatments with Char and implementing her advice and skincare line, I noticed improvements in my skin. By the end of the 2nd session, my skin was looking better than it has in months, glowy, hydrated and much less irritated. This is just the beginning, and i'm super excited to see how my skin looks as we keep working at it! Char is determined to work with you to get your skin to where it should be. She really takes care of you and goes above and beyond to do what works best for you. She is so awesome and really knows what she's talking about. Thanks Char!! read more

She ask you to come in once a week which is $1000 plus make you feel like you HAVE to use her face products which can add another$800. If you dont have extra $1500 every month, dont bother starting with her. It is $200/session plus another $50 for some kinda theraphy that you better do. You go in once a week. $250 times 4= $1000!!! In my opinion, this is expensive This is the cost of basic treatment she does for acne skin . I have been to many skin care places and Char's service is nothing outstanding. She just know how to talk... Okay. Char might be a friendly person, but I know how business works. You have to be friendly becuase they are your client!!! Please find another place where they can give you better service and price. There are many places out there to help you. I now have clear skin and regret so much for wasting my money to char in the past! read more

I have been to a couple of dermatologists, several skin spa treatment places, and none of them compare to the results I see with Char at It's All About You Skin Care Studio. She is awesome and TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME!!! Char is the only person I know in skin care that will dedicate her time and effort in making your skin better. Go see her!!! You will not regret it!!! I'm telling you, Char is the best in the industry! I have used prescribed creams from my dermatologists for my breakouts and Neutrogena over the counter stuff, which caused breakouts and dry spots on my face for the last several months. Since I've gone to see Char in the last 4 weeks, my skin have improved dramatically. Here studio is very small, not fancy, but it does not matter, what matters is Char working on your skin and paying attention to you 110%. She tells you the proper way to take care of your skin with her top of the line products. Char is very passionate about her work and everything skin, she's certified and has professional experience. My mom and sister have gone to see her and absolutely LOVE this place!! I have realized I wasted all my money on the over the counter and Sephora - Dermatologica, Philosphy creams and they do not work. Char really understands what works for my skin and each individual. She does not rip you off and her prices are reasonable. read more

Charlene has got to be the BEST out there. I have been seeing her for years and she has done wonders for my skin and has erased years from my face. We met by chance (right next-door to her shop) at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. I was getting my nightly coffee (working nights) and Charlene was passing out business cards with facial and waxing information. I was only interested in getting my eyebrows done, but she took especial notice to my poor acne-covered face (tons of cystic acne around my chin and mouth area). Not only was this acne embarrassing to deal with (no amount of makeup can cover it), but cystic acne is very painful. Charlene took me underneath her wings and instructed me on how to care for my skin (her product works wonders). We started a regimen of microdermabrasion and use of her product and months later, my skin was like new. Not only did she do wonders with my crow's feet, she cleared my acne. Once again, I could go out and run errands without worrying about putting on makeup, which obviously did not cover my acne, but instilled in me confidence about how I looked. It has been years since our first meeting, but I continue to see Charlene and she always take stellar care of my skin. She is a genuinely sweet person and really cares about skin and how you look. My face looks fabulous and it is all because of Charlene. Thanks Charlene, you are a class act. read more
