a personal struggle with acne turned life mission.

I am a southern California native and my personal struggle with acne began at age thirty. 

I tried numerous treatments and products that included facials, dry ice therapy, topical medication, cortisone injections and antibiotics. Each thing I tried resulted in failures and disappointing results.  Even though I was an Esthetician nothing I was learning or exposed to was working!  I finally found a solution when I was treated by a Medical Aesthetician who was trained under James E. Fulton, Jr. M.D., Ph.D — founder of "The Acne Research Institute".  He was also the co-inventor of Vitamin A Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, and topical Erythromycin. He had set the gold standard in acne treatment.   

My skin care success inspired me to seek a higher level of knowledge.  I had specialized training through Dr. Fulton's Advanced Paramedical Aesthetics Program.  Clearing up acne became my passion and it inspired me to open up my first acne clinic in Laguna Niguel, California, in 1998.

I have been working with same chemist for over twenty years.  Together we have developed a skin care line focusing on acne and age-defying products.  My skin care line and company are unique.  My goals is to help as many clients as I can improve, heal and thrive with healthy skin care success.
