About

Upper Layers Skin Care is based in Hawthorne, California, and serves Hawthorne and nearby communities. The business says it works specifically with ethnic skin and addresses concerns including acne, scars, discoloration and melasma.

The business was founded by Oscar Mendez, a skin care specialist who spent ten years training under dermatologist Edgar Mitchell, first working at Mitchell's clinic and later assisting with client treatments and consultations.

Visits begin with a free consultation, and clients can book by calling 310-219-3102. Acne care includes acne treatments and acne facials, which the business customizes to each client's skin. Facial options cover hydrating, anti-aging and relaxing treatments. Other services include microdermabrasion, which removes dead skin cells through exfoliation, chemical peels, Cavitation therapy, which the business says can enhance both skin and silhouette, scar removal for acne, surgical and other scars, and skin tag removal.

The business also sells its own skin care products online in cream, serum, mask, gel and lotion forms, plus Esplendor, a brightening treatment meant to be applied once a week. Listed product prices run from $39.99 to $95.00. The business describes its reputation in the South Bay area as stellar, and reviews averaging 4.8 from 168 customers appear across Google and Yelp.

Treatment plans are built around each client's skin type and concerns, starting with a listening session before any treatment is recommended. Acne facials are customized to the individual client.
