La' Fox Skin Solutions

La'Fox Skin Solutions was created by S. L. Fox and sells skin care both online and at its clinic on Chicago Avenue in Oak Park. The company says it has spent more than 20 years working on complex skin problems, and it states that its team has 25 or more years of experience formulating and more than 20 years of manufacturing skin care, dietary supplement and pharmaceutical products.

Products are developed inside the clinic first. According to the company, each one is designed, tested and refined there before it is offered to the public, so the range reflects work done with clients rather than products created only for shelves.

A visit starts with a skin assessment. Visitors are placed in one of three groups, normal to dry, normal to oily, or acneic skin (described as serious acne), and are matched to a collection built for that group. Each collection is a set of several products meant to be used together. Kits can also be bought on a subscription, which the company says saves $300 over time. Customer reviews on the site describe improved clarity, moisture and softness, which the company presents as customer experience rather than a guarantee.

Beyond the facial kits, the range includes separate body care for body acne and hyperpigmentation, a vegan body wash used as part of a three-step body routine, and an oil-based body hydrator that is applied morning and evening without rinsing. The company ships throughout the US and Canada, with additional fees possible outside the US, and accepts major American credit cards and PayPal.

Products are designed, tested and refined within the clinic before they reach customers, and the skin assessment is used to match each visitor to a collection by skin type.
