Fantastic salon that has been here for years. I thoroughly recommend it, especially for people with skin problems and teenagers suffering acne or similar. they have a great range of services and it's a busy little salon. Staff are attentive and know their stuff!

I am addicted to facials from Sabine at The Clear Skin Clinic. I have had 5 facials over about 7 months and my skin has improved tremendously in that time. I have suffered from cystic acne, blackheads and whiteheads on an off since I was 17 (now 33) so my skin scarring and texture was pretty terrible. My skin is now smoother, looks brighter, balanced and cleaner. Such simple technique, such good results. And some new products in my regime which a just a treat to use.

Approximate cost: $100/visit

I am 19 years old and have been seeing Dee now for just under 3 months.

I was battling mild acne for about 8 months, with sporadic red marks ever-present on my cheeks and chin area from constant squeezing. This is never a pleasant thing to deal with at any age but as an adolescent with an active social life it can be very embarrassing and become a huge blow to your self-esteem.

Before Dee, I had seen 2 other beauticians/skin specialists. Each time they would promise me that they had the solution to my condition and knew exactly how to treat my skin. I would be seeing them for facials regularly - every 2 weeks - and using all the creams and cleansers they advised to use religiously and by the end of it my bathroom drawers looked like a chemist's, yet I would always be pockmarked with scarring and keep seeing pimples re-appear time and time again.

After becoming completely fed up and disappointed with seeing no results and spending a lot of money, I gave up and explored other avenues, Pro Active, Epiduo and I even went to see a dermatologist who prescribed me Doryx antibiotic capsules with nothing proving effective.

I was incredibly stressed and self-conscious and almost gave up before I heard about Dee. At first I rejected the idea and assumed she would be like every other beautician claiming to be able to help me just to swindle me into spending money on useless products and facial appointments. In the end, my mum dragged me down to the clinic just to see what Dee had to say before I made my final judgement.

When I came in and met Dee, admittedly, I was very speculative and basically interrogated her practice and demanded how she could prove to me that she wasn't just another faker looking to take my money. She stood up, looked at my skin for about 30 seconds and told me that in 3 weeks she'd clear me up back to normal. I expressed that I was very doubtful so Dee then gave me some cleansing samples but refused to go ahead with my appointment and said that I had to go home and do some research about her to rid me of my speculation and that when I was ready and wanted her service to come back.

I looked up the Clear Skin Clinic and read all the raving reviews here on WOMO and after a few days I decided I would give her service a chance and that if she failed I would basically give up on my skin for good.

Once I came back, she told me that I would have to have one appointment a week for the next 3 weeks and that during this time I would look red and flushed from all the squeezing but to suck it up and deal with it. After being mildly, but constantly red for 8 months, I figured I didn't have much to lose and went for it.

At my first 'Steam and Squeeze' appointment, Dee really inspected my skin and broke down the reasons as to why I was experiencing the acne and gave a really genuine sense that she was tailoring her service to my individual need - already she was suggesting ideas completely different to the previous beauticians I'd seen and they made sense. After the appointment, as Dee said, I was very red and flushed but I dealt with it and looked for the long term result. After about 4-5 days, I could already notice a huge difference in the texture of my skin and had never seen so little lumps since I started experiencing acne 8 months before.

I continued for the next 2 weeks, and after each appointment my skin was less red and less flushed as she gradually got rid of all the acne over my whole face. By the end of the 3 week period I was nothing short of amazed. I had never seen my skin so clear for as long as I could remember and cut my chemist draw down to 3 products which all worked.

Straight away I was receiving compliments from friends, family and work colleagues of how good I looked and how much my skin had cleared up which was a huge boost in confidence.

Dee is blunt and straight to the point but always in a comforting manner that re-assures her wealth of experience and confidence in her own practice. She is easy to get along with and the whole Clinic has a welcoming ambience about it that removes any pre-existing embarrassment and concern about the whole situation.

I see Dee now once a month for a regular 'Steam and Squeeze' to maintain my newly improved skin and feel confident that it will never go back to how it was because of her.

I can't give her enough credit for what she does as this review doesn't do her skills justice - you have to see the results first hand to understand.

For anyone suffering from any range of severity of acne I couldn't recommend Dee and the Clear Skin Clinic team enough.

I'm 23 and have been struggling with (mild) acne since I can remember. I was recommended to see Dee at The Clear Skin Clinic by two people and finally got in two weeks ago (make sure you book ahead!!). She is unbelievable - she is honest about your skin's condition but makes you feel comfortable with the way she words it (too many times have I walked out of a dermatologist crying and offended!). The staff there are all lovely and immediately you know you're somewhere good.

When booking in for a facial you would usually expect a calming place with soft music playing etc - not here! They each walk in and out of the rooms, you can hear everyone gossiping and talking but that's what makes the place in my opinion. It's like walking into a family home - and I've only been twice so far!

After my first facial my skin was an absolute mess and I was terrified I'd gone to the wrong place. But, as Dee explained, stick with the regime she gives you and it will be worth it. After five days my skin was already clearer than I'd ever seen it. And after returning last night (two weeks later) for my second facial, my face today is already glowing - two people at work have already told me I look great today - who would have thought!!

The Clear Skin Clinic isn't out to rip you off - the Steam and Squeeze facial is $100 and I walked out of my first appointment with samples of products that Dee recommended I use - not once forcing me to pay for anything, just giving me samples to start off with! And after using them for two weeks I didn't have to think twice about purchasing them last night.

I highly highly highly recommend this place. Dee is extremely experienced and will get your skin looking beautiful in no time. I can't wait to look back in six months after having been to see Dee a few more times and realise how worth it she really is! She is honest and you really can trust your skin in her hands!

Ahhh a four day weekend... the perfect occasion for a bit of me time. And let's face it, my me time usually involves the world of beauty for you see, I am a beauty whore. You name it and I've tried it! You may remember my discovery of The Clear Skin Clinic early last year from my previous review of the steam and squeeze. I called Dee a God then and I'm calling her a God again now. After continuing my pilgrimage to this clear skin Mecca to continue my anti acne regime, Dee introduced me to the herbal green peel last Thursday. Essentially Dee patiently rubbed this bad boy all over my face until it reached a certain consistency and raised the temperature of my skin. Now some people find this painful - I honestly found it completely bearable. Here's a hot tip: the longer you can tolerate it, the better the depth of the peel, ie. the better the result, and clearly that's what I'm after! Dee then loaded some more of the peel onto my skin and basically mummified my face with gauze for a further 20 minutes whilst periodically wetting my face down for a cooling effect. When I was done, I'm not going to lie - I wasn't pretty! Expect redness and slight swelling. I was sent on my way for five days of blissful nothing - no water on my skin, no sunshine, you know the drill. as the days went by my face literally began to shed layers - this made me very happy because this is what a true peel is all about. I cannot tell you the number of treatments I've tried promising to peel back layers of skin only for me to experience little flaking akin to dandruff. So after leaving DNA all over Sydney, I returned to the clinic for a follow up session with Dee who proceeded to steam my face and literally peel away the remaining debris like wet wallpaper. The result is seriously smooth, bright, taught, baby's bum skin. I am beyond delighted. I was also able to achieve a level of decongestion not possible with the traditional steam and squeeze and as a result I finally have the blackhead and bump free skin that I desired. I cannot recommend this salon enough - Dee seriously knows her stuff and there is no bullshit and unnecessary products, etc. involved - just amazing results. I've already booked ahead for another peel next Easter!

Finding Dee and the Ladies at Clean Skin has been the best thing that has ever happened to my skin! I've struggled with acne prone skin on and off for years and it was beginning to scar my cheeks. I was recommended to see Dee and I haven't looked back. The steam and squeezes have cleared up my acne and I've just had my first green skin peel - which has helped to heal my scarring! I am so so so happy and cannot wait for my next one! Everyone who works at The Clear Skin Clinic are so lovely and supportive and I am truly thankful for all the help I have received!!!

I was thrilled and surprised that Dee and her team at CSC have been able to produce wonderful results in my skin in just 2 treatments. I am becoming more proud of my skin every day.

I used to have horrible skin- pimples and lumps and bumps all over my face. It was terrible for my self esteem. But then I discovered the Clear Skin Clinic and I got a steam and squeeze every few weeks for around 5 months, and it has done wonders for my skin! My friends and family all comment on how much better my skin is looking, and it has really helped boost my confidence.

I decided to try the clear skin clinic about 6 months ago. I've had breakouts since my teenage years and was wearing heavy make-up to hide these. I booked for a steam and squeeze (which is exactly as the name suggests) and never looked back. The first few sessions were spent cleansing my skin of all the oily products I had been using and unclogging pores. The first few weeks weren't pretty as my skin was cleansing BUT I stuck with it. After 4-5 sessions, I started to notice the difference. It took that time to get rid of the oil build up and treat my acne prone chin with the rest of my face being normal.
CSC treated my skin type perfectly to get the results I have wanted for years. I now rarely get a spot as I have a steam and squeeze every 6 weeks and use all their recommended water based products. I recently had a green peel to get rid of the teenage scarring on my cheeks and chin which improved the tone of my skin.
I would advise, go for a treatment, stick with it and you will have clear bright skin. If you're like me, the first few weeks are tough but stick with it. They say their beauticians not magicians, but I kind of disagree!
Lovely friendly staff who are motivated to get you results.

Approximate cost: $95
