Since my teenage years I've had problems here and there will blemishes and blackheads, but it wasn't until about 6 months ago that my skin became really congested. This was caused by the use of a product recommended to me by a lady at a cosmetic counter to re-train and clean up my skin. Apparently it would get worse before it got better, and she was partially correct as my skin became more congested than it ever had been previously. When it failed to show any signs of improvement, I decided that it was time to see someone who specialised in problem skin. Reading about the clinic from the website, gave me hope that my skin could be rid of all the horrible bumps which had taken over my face in the last few months. It's not a pampering, relaxing facial, but difference after one session was amazing, and 2 months later my skin has improved so much. Although the effects from the first steam and squeeze are apparent, it is an ongoing process, and not an instant cure. But when I think of all the time and money I've spent on chasing clear skin, the few sessions I've spent with Dee have been more than worth it.

The Clear Skin Clinic has been the greatest discovery!
Since going there 3 times my skin has improved in leaps and bounds. I constantly receive compliments on how amazing my skin looks.
I wholeheartedly agree with all the positive things the other posts before mine say. I'm a make-up Artist and constantly recommend the salon to my clients.
Don't be put off by the extractions, and initial break outs, it's the only way to make progress with cleaning out all the built up gunk stuck under your skin!
Dee is fabulous, and tells it how it is. I've listened to all of her advice regarding what make-up and skin care products I should be using, and will continue to do so! The toner (zit killer) Dee recommended is amazing, has made a noticeable improvement to the surface and texture of my skin, and I will keep using it religiously!
I carry CSC business cards in my bag and give them to anyone who's interested in improving their skin.
I love this place and will be a loyal client for years to come...

I found out about Dee and the CSC through my makeup artist who is doing my upcoming wedding. She assured me that Dee would be able to clear up my skin for my big day. On my first visit I was treated to a steam and squeeze facial which may have seemed abit daunting at first but the results have been amazing! Dee went through my entire regime and told me where I was going wrong. I can't say I had terrible skin but constantly have had congested pores and pimples since I was a teenager. I was ready to change my bad habits and Dee put me on the right path. After 3 'good cleans' I have a totally clear complexion and have been able to maintain it through a few products Dee recommended to me. Dee and her staff are friendly and honest and you don't get that kind of service everywhere!

I would totally recommend CSC to anyone who has an upcoming event such as a wedding or if you just want to change your life and have amazing skin!!

i have been going to CSC for two years. i am a young professional male, who needs to be presentable at all times. i tried everything to have clear skin - nothing worked. roaccutane only works for some people, and even then it is not fun when you are on it...

Nothing could fix my skin and i wasn't give up.

i looked everywhere online, and came across CSC's website. After a short call with Dee, i made an appointment.

When i started visiting CSC, i had oily pours, black heads, and cystic acne. Dee sat me down, on my first appointment and educated me about my skin!!! Dee & the staff always knows how to have a laugh and make the whole experience pleasant. CSC isnt too posh - like most salons. CSC feels like a home. i consider Dee as a friend, and appreciate what she has done for my skin, and what she continues to do for not only me, but other people who are struggling with acne.

if your serious about your skin & committed; you need to visit CSC.

happy to provide references to anyone that needs more detail.

I tried EVERYTHING to clear up my skin and to be 33yrs and still getting breakouts I was ready to cry with frustration, because no matter what I did it didn't get better. Pills, peels, scrubs, diet, exercise, creams.... I gave it all a go. So when I turned up to the Clear Skin Clinic and vented my frustration to Dee, stating that I clearly had a "hormone imbalance" (because that was what every other beautician told me) I was surprised by her straight forward response. "Sweetheart, if every woman who told they had a hormone problem was right, there would be no one having babies in Sydney!". Right away I knew that I had found someone with a different approach and I definitely haven't been disappointed. After two "good cleans" in a week & a change to water based products, I am VERY happy to report that I have not had a breakout or really a blemish for that matter in nearly 4 months. The truth is that I don't go to Dee once a month for a soft, fluffy feel-good facial, the "good cleans" hurt a little, but they do the job. Just like a wax, I'm prepared to take the discomfort for 15 mins, so that I can enjoy the end result of clear skin and confidence to walk around fresh-faced. I have since recommended her to many of my friends and family who are now her regular clients also. I give her 2 thumbs up and thank her for the friendly welcome she gives me each time I visit and the interest she takes in the health of my skin. She just gets it!! ELISSA

I am a 23 year female who has suffered from mild to moderate acne since I was about 13.
I have tried all manner of treatments, including antibiotics, pro-active and even Chinese herbs. Up until about 6 months ago, I was frustrated and upset with my skin. Every morning I would wake up to discover a new lump on my chin, red, raised and sore. I felt ashamed and embarrassed to show my skin, assuming people thought I couldn't look after it or that I wasn't hygienic. Basically I hated my skin and it was beginning to seriously affect my self confidence.
I'd read about the Clear Skin clinic in magazines and assumed that because it was in Double Bay that it would be really expensive and perhaps a little intimidating. But after reading other comments on Womow I thought that it couldn't hurt to give it a go...I was desperate to get help for my skin.
In May this year I went for my first steam and squeeze. Sure it hurt a little, but Dee's professionalism and friendliness put me at ease. First my face was washed using a Dermalogica cleanser, followed by a gentle scrub. Then I had a mask applied whilst I was under the steamer for about 10 minutes or so. Even on my first visit I was made to feel welcome, like an old friend. I wasn't fussed over like you sometimes are in beauty salons, but I was comfortable and informed of what was happening at all times. Then Dee came and did the ‘squeeze', she was very thorough and worked her way around all my blocked pores. Afterwards I had a glycolic peel applied which stung for a little while but it wasn't too unbearable. My face was red, but I was so shocked and happy to see that it was smooth! No little lumps and bumps that would one day inevitably grow into bigger pimples. After about 3 or 4 days my skin really started to show signs of improvement.
From then on I have been going back to get Steam and Squeezes' around once every 5 weeks or so. My skin has improved 100% on what it was back in May. I have changed my skin care routine and taken Dee's advice about which make-up, moisturiser and cleanser to use. My favourite product is “pimple killer” I swear it is my life saver! Other Clear Skin Clinic fans will know what I am talking about. I must point out though that I have never felt pressured to buy product after a treatment, the staff are so down to earth and honest and never try and make you feel like you need to buy something. They make recommendations and clearly they work!
I'm yet to try further treatment such as a Green Peel or Omnilux, but I will consider it in the New Year to put the finishing touches on my new, clear complexion! I am in love with Dee, the clinic and my skin. It sounds so cliché but it has literally changed my life. If you are considering coming here, don't put it off any longer! Once you've been you'll wonder why you waited so long.

Dee, and all the amazing girls at the Clear Skin Clinic - every month, without fail for the past six years I have loyally entrusted you to care and look after my skin. Dee - I'm indebted to you. No bullshit, honest, professional and results driven. I know every woman strives to have perfect skin in her life, and this quest begins very early in a woman's life, we persevere over decades to try and find that "illusive" miracle product that will work for us. You know what? It doesn't exist. There is no miracle cure. Dee, what you have taught me about skin care, about beauty, is to listen, listen to you, to take in all your years of experience, the 1000's of faces you have treated, and to follow your instruction. This means monthly visits for me, a clean, steam and extraction, a peel and a beautiful light treatment. You tailored skin care products to MY needs, no sales pitch. You are the best, you know the best products to use that achieve the best results for my skin type. I'm 35 years old Dee and I have not used foundation once for the past six years purely because the results you have achieved for my skin speak volumes. I simply don't need to use foundation. I'm not one of those woman who nit picks and screams problem skin with only two blackheads. I'm a woman with a Mediterranean background - i.e I USED to have exaggerated pores, blackheads and congested skin. Like some people go to church every Sunday to cleanse the soul, I see you instead Dee, simply because my faith in you has been paid back with a miracle. I actually have skin I love.

As I have been going to Dee and her staff for the last 4 years it is not unusual for me to
be welcomed with happy smiles and a relaxed and professional atmosphere.
I have spent 15 years going from one beautictian to another and The Skin Clear Clinic is by
far the most professional and knowledgeable place I have experienced. . I was shocked to hear that Dee had experienced a very unhappy client not long ago and from what I have been told I think her concerns of her external beauty runs a little more than "Skin Deep" maybe she would be a little happier with a paper bad over your head.

I have suffered from bad acne for the last 8 years.
I tried everything!!!!
I had given up on ever having good skin.
A friend from work who has perfect skin recommend I see Di. I was hesitant but given the fact she had perfect skin and it was a reasonable price, I gave it a go.
After one steam, squeeze and peel and a consultation on the do's and don'ts I could already see the results!
I wasn't obliged to buy any of the products, I was given plenty of samples which could have lasted me the month.
The salon is very clean and nice. It's appropriate. It's not over the top and not completely relaxing, buts it's enjoyable and they do a great job!
Everyone now comments on how beautiful my skin is and I recommend Di to everyone .

I have had skin problem for a while. I have tried countless products, medicine, antibiotics and beauticians before but never really solve the problems. I started to get really frustrated with my skin and my work friend recommended me to go to Clear Skin Clinic. I was hesitant at first, but quiet happy with my first facial. The staffs are very nice, friendly and they did not try to rip me off by buying products that I don't need. I can see improvement after my 1st facial. After my 2nd facial, my skin clears up and i only have a few acne. I have just had my 3rd facial today, and my skin clears up so much. I cannot wait to have the green peel to fix my pores, redness and scars. Overall I am really really happy!! Thanks everyone in Skin Clear Clinic!! xxxx "N"
