5 Circle Skin Care

5 Circle Skin Care opened in 2012 in West Lake Hills, when its founder, Denise Bell, rented a small office in Westlake the same year she graduated from beauty school. The 5 Circle product line followed in 2017. The studio is by appointment only, and it serves West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Tarrytown, Bee Cave, Lakeway and central Austin, including the 78746 area.

New clients book by calling or texting the studio. The 5 Circle Facial is a 90-minute appointment that opens with a detailed look at the skin and then moves into a treatment customized to what it finds. Each visit ends with a personalized five-step routine to take home, and no product purchase is required afterward. Clients who have had Botox or other injections are asked to wait at least 14 days before booking a facial.

The product line is built around a five-step routine of cleanser, serum, moisturizer, SPF and a retinol used at night. Each product is formulated for a particular skin condition or concern rather than for all skin types. The business says the products are made in FDA-approved laboratories and that all of them are cruelty-free. Toner, eye cream, essence and a separate night cream are not sold.

Clients who are not local to Austin can arrange a virtual consultation, and products ship anywhere in the United States. Shipping is free on orders over $50. Customer service can be reached by email, and the business says it aims to respond within 48 business hours. The studio shows a 5.0 rating from 65 verified Google reviews.
