★★★★★

I found Sue around 8 years ago after a friend gifted me a facial. I delayed going, and once I did, I never looked back. I drive over an hour each way to go to Sue specifically because of the amazing care, thoughtfulness, and expertise she brings to every session.

When I was growing up starting over 77 years ago, there were things girls did and boys did. One of the things guys didn't do was have facials; and I never did until last week when my best friend and wife of 53 years convinced me. I'm very glad I went!

Just to be clear I'm a guy and like most guys I probably don't pay enough attention to my skin health. My very first skincare experience today was with Sue at Skin Essentials and I'm very glad I went for both the treatment and lessons learned.

I went to two different dermatologists to help me resolve my skin issues. They prescribed medications which didn't work. I was referred to Sue who immediately knew what my issues were and cleared up my skin within a few treatments! 15 yrs later, I still see her!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Sue. Over the past couple of years, she has completely transformed my skin. I came to her struggling with congestion and uneven texture, and thanks to her expertise, care, and guidance, my skin has never looked better.

I have been working with Sue for the last six years. I go every six weeks for a facial, and I use all the products she suggests. Once I turned 50, all the previous sun damage started to show. Sue has been amazing at helping me reverse that damage.

Sue is the best! I have been going to her since 2018 and she always goes above and beyond. I have literally changed my work schedule so I can get on her schedule and receive the most fabulous facials in Marin. I am more than grateful to have met her.

Sue is the absolute best. I came to her 5 years ago in crisis with my skin. She has transformed my skin, the way I take care of it and the way I think of it. I feel so cared for and my skin feels so loved every time I come for an appointment.

I love seeing Sue! As a nurse, I appreciate how knowledgeable she is and how she tailors my facials and skin care routine to exactly what my skin needs. It's rare to find someone with so much experience with mixed skin types. Highly recommend!
