I can not recommend Melissa enough. The only regret is I should have seen her sooner. I am 52 years old and have struggled with acne throughout my life. My goal was to actually go without makeup which I'm a fanatic about making sure no one sees all my blemishes and to wake up before anyone else in the morning to do a quick cover up to make sure I'm presentable. It has been less than two months since seeing Melissa and yesterday I didn't put a drop of cover up on. Words can not describe how happy I am. Thank you Melissa!!

I've been seeing Melissa for almost 5 years and she is amazing! She cared for my stressed and aging skin through multiple surgeries, allergic reactions to drugs, lack of sleep and all the terrible effects of a near fatal motorcycle accident, and through it all her knowledge and care actually improved my skin. I get more compliments on my skin now than I did when I was young and it is thanks to her. Melissa is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate and an appointment with her feels like a visit with a dear friend. She is great at suggesting exactly the products that will

Melissa is the best! She's so gentle with your skin and knows exactly what to do. I've only gone to see her twice but her work and products are amazing. I already see a difference, my skin feels so much healthier and looks better. I definitely recommend her. Plus, she has the best attitude and makes you feel comfortable.

I have been seeing Melissa for a little over three years now and she is the absolute best! I had struggled with acne for many years and now with the signs of aging. Melissa knows exactly what treatments my skin is needing each visit and my skin has never looked better. Her studio is a tranquil oasis and you will feel completely relaxed and refreshed after a visit on her warm and super comfortable table. Another thing I love about Melissa is that she doesn't try to push products on you. I have found amazing (and very affordable) products for my skin by asking what she recommends and I never

I have been seeing Melissa for over a year now, after years of struggling with adult acne. I initially saw her at Pacific Skin Care, and I am so happy she got her own place in Capitola! Acne & Aging Skin Care is meticulously clean, super cozy, and there's plenty of parking in the back. Melissa is truly the best of Santa Cruz! She provides professional skincare services that target specific concerns, while also ensuring at that home-care regimens are simple and maintenance appointments affordable. My skin has truly never looked better, and I send everyone I know to see Melissa! Go book
