Before Skin Theory, I was considering a THIRD round of Accutane. I’ve been a client for 4+ years and my skin has never looked or felt better! Whenever I get compliments on my skin, people are shocked to hear that I had acne. Skin Theory has truly changed my life.

The Skin Theory is amazing. I have been going for years now! My skin went from horrible to terrific. Rachael tailors my routine to my skin and I no longer suffer from persistent cystic acne. I have tried everything on the market and nothing has worked for acne before. I will always come back to Skin Theory!

Amazing! I’ve struggled with acne prone skin/problem skin since my teenage years. I am currently in my early 30’s and so grateful I found Skin Theory! The detailed information they provided for do’s and don’ts, food choices, chemicals to avoid and beneficial supplements really provided me with the wow factor. I’ve definitely experienced the feeling of care throughout the past months seeing Viviana. A worthy experience over the ones I have had at the dermatologist or other medical spas. I finally love looking in the mirror and owe it all to the effort and care from Skin Theory!

Skin Theory knows what they are doing. They go above and beyond for their clients. They really care about their clients and understand how hard it is for the teenagers dealing with acne. Rachel is absolutely wonderful- so caring!!! Thanks Rachel and everyone at Skin Theory.

Going to Skin Theory has been the BEST decision for my skin!! I struggled with problematic, acne-prone skin since I was young and they have helped my skin look the best it ever has! Everything from the staff, to the atmosphere is inviting and calming. I trust them 100% and can't say enough amazing things about it!

Ingrid B.

I have been coming to Skin Theory for years now for everything skin related. All of the estheticians working at Skin Theory are extremely intelligent and friendly. I have been seeing Rachael for my skin and eyebrows for a while now; she does an excellent job every single time! Rachael is amazing both professionally and personally. I always leave feeling confident and glowy. I am counting down the days until my next appointment at Skin Theory :)

I have just had my 2nd DMK facial and have seen amazing results. Skin Theory is a relaxing getaway during my busy days. Viviana is amazing! She has cleared my kids, 18 and 23, acne with clean products. Highly recommend!

Suzanne H.

I have had two services at Skin Theory now. Both my lash lift and LED facial were wonderful. I’ve had many facials over the years and this was by far the best and most customized. Vivianna really took her time to understand my skin concerns and goals. The facial really combined relaxation and efficacy perfectly. The staff are all so friendly and nice and the prices are very reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Rebecca M.

My skin has improved so much, the location is always so clean and I feel so refreshed after every appointment. I have never felt more confident in my skin and it is all thanks to Vivianna and Karen! 10/10 would recommend!

Ella G.

After seeing 2 different Dermatologists I was at the end of my rope. Really, two years of frustration and no answers, a friend recommended Skin Theory. Desperate I decided to try them out. Wow, after seeing them now for roughly 10-months I've found relief! The approach at Skin theory looks at both the symptoms and the underlying issues. They treat the problem at the source. Within the first month I began to see results. Today, my skin has never been healthier! Thank you so much Karen, you and your team are amazing!

Charles M.

This place is truly amazing, I’ve been going to Karen for years! ( in person and over the phone ). Let me tell you, she has been the ONLY person to ever cure my acne. Not only are they so amazing at what they do, they’re extremely kind and welcoming. If you’re having any doubts about coming here don’t hesitate, you will feel heard and be treated with extremely kind, professional women. Thank you Skin Theory fam for being the best place to exist in Glen Ellyn!!! I truly would be lost with you all.

Natalie C.

There’s no other place I’d trust with caring for my skin than Skin Theory in Glenn Ellyn. After years of dermatology visits and trying products that were not right for my skin, it was a treasure to find Skin Theory! I saw Karen to clear my severe, painful adult acne and post inflammatory acne marks that I struggled with for over a year. She created a routine that has cleared my acne, transformed my skin, and has given me my confidence back. She’s incredibly smart, kind, caring, and attentive, and she answered any and all questions. I’ve never encountered a skincare OR dermatology practice as professional, healing, and result-driven as Skin Theory -  I cannot recommend it enough!

Morgan M.

I love this place. The ladies are all so very kind and caring for your total well being not just making you look fabulous!!! Truly a neighborhood gem that is clean , professional and cutting edge on skin care. I am grateful I found them years ago and will continue to be a customer.
