I had my first case of severe adult acne when I was 21. Over the years I have been able to manage it, but have never had completely clear skin; I would regularly have break outs that would take forever to go away. Last year at the age of 28 I had another severe break out of Adult Acne. This time was much worse, my face was literally being taken over by acne, no amount of make up was able to hide what was forming on my face. It got so bad that I ended up with a staph infection on my chin. I had seen a dermatologist who had one cure for me a 6-8 month treatment of roaccutane. I was not keen on this; I had seen what it had done to people and was not prepared to do that to myself. A friend of mine had told me about The Clear Skin Clinic, at first I was skeptical, as I had been to so many places and been told my skin will be fixed with a $1000 package, I had already spent so much money on laser treatment, light therapy anything that said it cured acne I had tried it. My first appointment with Dee, I took in all my products I was currently using and let me tell you it was not a small bag. Dee spent some time with me explaining what was happening with my skin and what I had been doing to it by using all these products. She explained to me that the treatment she could give me was not going to be easy. I think I cried for the whole hour of my first steam and squeeze. But the results were worth the pain. I committed to Dee's treatments, having 2 steam and squeeze facials a week and within 5 weeks my skin was flat and smooth again, I still had some scarring so opted to have a Green peel done by Dee. The results after my 5 day peel were amazing, my skin was almost perfect again, I still have a few minor scars, but they are hardly noticeable. I am using all the products recommend to me by Dee. I absolutely love the foundation. My morning make up application has gone from about half an hour to 10 minutes. I highly recommend The Clear Skin Clinic, the girls there are all lovely and I don't know where I would be right now if I had not come across this place. I will be forever thankful for everything Dee and her girls have done for me.

I am 27 years old and developed acne last year. I went to the Facial Rejuventation Clinic on George Street to treat the problem and spent $600+ on about eight products that I was to use twice daily (a combination of a Cosmedix cleanser, Aspect Dr serums, ASAP moisturiser and Ultraceuticals serum). I was also told to throw out my existing makeup (admittedly cosmetic in nature such as Armani, Bobbi Brown, etc) and invest in a range of Becca products, deemed "mineral". I began undergoing treatments every fortnight that cost $250 for each visit - a RevLite laser treatment, a peel and a session of Omnilux light. In total I must have spent about $3,000 and so NO RESULTS - I had the same pimples on my face for months. My hairdresser recommended that I go next door to the Clear Skin Clinic, where I met Dee and Tina. I was asked to bring a goodie bag of everything that I use on my face, including makeup, to my first session, which was a "steam and squeeze". My first impression was absolute awe of the depth of knowledge that these ladies possess. They went through each product with me and explained the ingredients and how in fact they were useless / causing further irritation / not actually suitable for my skin. I then underwent my treatment with Tina, which was extraction of every bump on my face using a special lance after a cleanse and steaming session. After the extraction she placed a peel on my face for five minutes to kill any bacteria. Of course this was painful but completely bearable. My face was a sight once complete but Tina gave me sample products and wrote down my new - VERY SIMPLE - skincare regimen and sent me on my way. Within three days, the scabs had healed and fallen away and my face was smoother then it had been in years. My friends commented when seeing the difference and I literally told Tina I loved her at my next session. Due to the depth of congestion and poor treatment on my skin, I am having multiple steam and squeeze sessions. I had my second one today, and my face is hardly red or sore this time around. I invested in my recommended products - a simple cleanser (Dermologica Special Cleansing Gel), toner (my "medicine" as Tina puts it - Environ Alpha Tone), and moisturiser (Dr Spiller Collagen Cream); and a scrub to use twice weekly (Dermologica Skin Prep Scrub). I was so happy to have only spent around $300 on products and my treatments and $95 for a steam and squeeze with glycolic peel. These ladies know their stuff and I only wish I had discovered them sooner. I cannot recommend them enough - I was skeptical after my experience with the Facial Rejuvenation Clinic but the results speak for themselves.

I am a 17 year old female and came to Dee suffering from bad breakouts particularly around my chin area, which Dee told me was caused from blackheads/blocked pores, not acne. I was really anxious and worried about going and thinking they were going to say things to make me feel worse about myself (due to past experiences) well, I was proven wrong. I came in and everyone was so nice and friendly to me. I have been going to Dee for about a year now, and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my skin. My breakouts are under control and I feel so much more confident. If you are suffering from breakouts or bad skin it is simple GO TO DEE. Don't keep putting it off like me. It is better to take the initiative and act fast. It is well worth your money in the end if you want to see results.

I came here twice a month. Nice staffs. Nice services. The price is a little bit high but overall is exellence. Highly recommended.

I have been a client of Dee's for many years and I was amazed at the significant improvements to my acne-prone skin after the green peel treatments. As a guy, I was oftern the "token male" during appointments but Dee provided great service and dedication. Dee's product recommendations (especially for a guy) were spot on. Thanks Dee and her team.

I never had spots as a teenager, instead they decided to turn up from my late twenties and got worse until recently. I am 35. My girlfriend recommended me to see Dee and her team well over a year ago. After too long I finally made my appointment. I've just had my second facial (steam & squeeze) and my skin is SO much clearer. Most day spas or skincare places won't squeeze? Something I've never understood. Dee and her fabulous team, on the other hand, continue until they've extracted the 'muck'. They talk you through what they're doing, they make you feel at ease and they're all so lovely it's like hanging out with your friends. My first appointment was with Dee and I took my (ridiculously huge) bag of products in to be examined. Well, I certainly have a lot of products to use on my body now! Now I love the simplicity of using simple products where I can immediately see the benefit. I'm so excited by my skin already and how calm it looks, I can't wait to see it fully flourish in such good hands. Hands down the best place around. Thanks Dee, thanks girls. You've created a haven in Double Bay and your clients adore you :)

Approximate cost: $100

They know what they're doing, and they are amazing at it. You just have to trust them and do what they tell you to do. The pain I went through is worth it. My skin is so much clearer and smoother now.

CSC is certainly worth a visit if you have any concerns with your skin. I originally made an appointment after over hearing 2 ladies at my hairdresser talking about this amazing place called CSC....I went and haven't been to another beauty therapist since! My skin was dirty, clogged, oily and breaking out on a regular basis. After just a few facials my skin is clean, clear and I only get the odd pimple. I love how you can take in your beauty products and Dee will tell you what is good and not good for your skin. Dee will never push any products on you but the products she has are outstanding and are worth every cent. I have gone from using dozens of products to just a few good quality products that work. She has a no nonsense approach to skin and you won't regret making an appointment. Thanks Dee and the girls for making me feel more confident in my own skin!

CSC is amazing. I went to see Dee with terrible skin, as a result of: (a) hormonal changes from having a baby, (b) my products no longer working for me, and (c) bad advice from other places. I have always had good skin with only occasional break outs, but before I went to CSC, I basically had acne! I had tried so many things, including various remedies from a naturopath (which helped), but only after seeing Dee has my skin completely changed! Not only did Dee help clear all the blemishes (which is no walk in the park by the way), but she gave me good advice about products (without the whole sales pitch) and just knew exactly what to do. I am so grateful, and feel like I can be my usual confident self again. I also think the prices are reasonable and very much good value. I highly recommend the CSC.

I read a lot of good feedback about The Clear Skin Clinic. It was true! I had lots of stubborn acne on my face. Di said to me 3 times facial to remove majority of the acne, and she was right !
I am a very happy customer :)
Many thanks Di :)
