Pure Skin Science was founded in San Clemente in 1994 on the research of its founder, Johanna Margarete, a master aesthetician. It operates as both a skincare lab and a spa, selling its own product line alongside professional treatments.
The products are made in small batches using organic, sustainable and fair-trade ingredients, and they are not tested on animals. The facial cleansers are plant-based and vegan and free of synthetic detergents and sulfates. The range includes a gentle cleansing gel, a glycolic acid toner, an azelaic acid and arnica moisturizer, a five-step renewal system, and at-home devices: an ultrasonic exfoliating and lifting tool and a photon LED unit.
The business recommends a series of ten sessions followed by monthly maintenance, and says the treatment involves no downtime. According to the business, the probes are patented 99.9% pure copper. Thera-Lift is trademarked to Pure Skin Science and may only be given by licensed, trained professionals.
BioChemPeel is an office visit of about 20 minutes, done without anesthesia, and is offered for lines, sun damage, melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, pores and texture. Recovery typically takes 5 to 14 days, depending on peel depth and skin condition. The business reports performing these peels since 1994, with more than 50,000 procedures. Other treatments include Nano Lift & Glow, Thera-Wave skin tightening for face and body, Micropen peptide skin repair, and Bio-Luméa Trifecta, a three-treatment series.
The spa works strictly by appointment and does not accept walk-ins. Bookings are made by calling or texting (949) 325-5727. A skin consultation costs $75 and is credited toward any product or service purchase. Cherry payment plans let clients pay for treatments monthly, subject to approval, with plans of up to $10,000 and no hard credit check. Applicants must be at least 18, hold a valid U.S. state driver's license, and have a valid bank-issued debit card.
Products are organic, made in small batches, and sourced with sustainable and fair-trade ingredients. In-spa care centers on named devices and peels, with a series of sessions recommended for lasting results.
