Kimberly Skin Clinic & Day Spa

I even sometimes don’t thoroughly wash my face super super clean but even then i don’t get breakouts. Again, I do have little bumps on my cheeks. Sooo here I conclude my review. I guess Kimberly’s products weren’t that bad. I haven’t used up everything that I bought from here although the oil and pore control thing is almost gone. I’m trying to save it b/​c I do like them ONLY BECAUSE I don’t use a night cream (I actually finished her night cream and the water serum thing) and there wouldn’t be anything for my face to have moisture. Ever since I started using her products, especially at night, I need something for my face. I also don’t want to buy any other products but I might buy some oil thing. I however will not be making anymore purchases from her (not that I have or anything). It’s just too expensive. So yeah, given my experience with this, I’m still not really sure what helped clear my acne. I still believe that it was due to some hormone change in my body and that my face wash (Cetaphil), along with the face brush I got as a free gift because I spent $ 400 at Kimberly’s was what played a life changing role. Jk I take that back, I think it was the brush. But all in all, sorry for the vagueness but if you have a similar problem just use Cetaphil and get a brush. If you want to try Kimberly’s stuff, by all means go
For it, nobody and nothing is stopping you. It just really depend on what is causing your acne. I truly think that (again if you have what I had) just stick to Cetaphil and invest in a brush. It doesn’t have to be the clarisonic one because that one is really expensive but something that’s a bit pricy but doable because then you’ll know you will get your money worth. If you have a way more
Serious problem than me, I advise that you go to see a dermatologist. It’ll def be pricy but in the end it’ll be like a one, maybe two time Thing and boom nice skin. So yeah this concludes my super long review lol

Wish I read the reviews before I came in. It’s a scam. You don’t even make appointments. They tell you when they want you to come in so you don’t get to decide anything. Their product is like water and their treatment doesn’t work at all. The girls out front don’t know what they’re doing. They made an appointment for me for Sunday at 10 and told me to come on at 1. On the day of my appointment they called me to tell me at 11 and told me I was late. Wtf. It’s been 4 months and they haven’t called me for an appointment at all.

THIS LADY IS A SCAM. HER ENTIRE BUSINESS IS A SCAM.
The first time you consult with her and her workers all of them could be super enthusiastic and friendly about introducing themselves and their products. I was with her for 4 months, and I’ve only been able to meet face to face with this so called «Doctor Kimberly» once. And that was during my consultation. After trying to make an appointment with her, I kept on being turned down by her receptionists such as Tran. After getting extractions for 4 months, I realized that my condition got… wait for it… Significantly worse! Yay! NOT. I demanded to talk to Kimberly, yet I was still getting turned down. So instead Tran said to come and have a meeting with her in replacement because Kimberly was on a business trip (was she really?) during our meeting TRAN DID NOT KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT ACNE.
P bacteria is flesh eating? Does that even sound logical?
«Doctor» Kimberly’s products would make the p bacteria rise to the surface of my skin (aka more acne) and that would mean that I would have to get more extractions by a lady who apparently doesn’t know shit about anything either. After a long talk, guess what I found out?
For the past FOUR months, «Doctor» Kimberly hadn’t checked my face’s progress at all! What? Know that she deemed my face to be severe, that’s when she was going to start looking at my face (mind you she never observed my skin physically but just through a picture taken by a phone camera) BUT SHE WONT EVEN MEET WITH ME.
Her products are making my skin worse. My «before» photos look extremely better than my «after» photos.
I hope everyone can take a look at my review before you decide to call in to make an appointment with her.

This Lady is a big time SCAM artist. She takes advantage of the Vietnamese community and misrepresents herself as a Doctor. She is a liar and will sell you everything under the sun, then when your skin is not improving or it is getting worse, she will try to sell you more things in addition to getting aggressive. Please read the «not recommended reviews» to really know the truth about this place; she has been sued many times. I can’t say much more without violating some type of Unilocal guideline so I will leave it here. Please warn all of your friends, family, and for the love of god. even warn your enemies.

Please read this before you decide to pick up your phone to call them or come to their place for consultation!
Let me just started of by saying that my friend was their employee. She worked for them for around 2 months. None of the beauty consultants or skin care specialists work in Kimberly have proper training about skin or have any skincare license that is required to sell products or perform treatments on your skin. Kimberly and her consultants always tell their customers the same thing over and over again by blaming the condition of their skin was caused by the current and previous products that they have used in the past and then «prescribe» their customers the same products and claim that it was tailor for their skin!!! (Don’t believe me! Call me first before having an consultant with them and I can tell you the exact things that they will tell you)
While she was working there, so many of customers brought their products back demanding the refund because it worsen their skin, caused server redness, irritation and swollen; but Kimberly offers no refunds for the customers. Times and times, they always blamed the customers that the reaction was caused by «their wrong way of using the products”(and I quote).
Kimberly herself asked her and her peers to do acne extractions on her customers who she had persuaded to bought the acne treatment for $ 2400 while she was in Seattle for the grand opening of the new store. She told them to be back the week after to have the extraction done by «her professionals». After over month of waiting to be called for extraction, the customers lost her patient and may have called their hotline in California (she asked them to do the extraction after). About her and the people in Kimberly Clinic, they do not know anything about acne or extraction, I only know that if the extraction was not done the right way, the patients will result in severe consequences like damage to the skin that will trigger the acne, worsen the skin and leave major acne scar for the rest of their lives! So when Kimberly sent me 2 videos that she found on Youtube to «trained» her how to do extraction and extraction tools bought in Sephora and asked her to watch and perform on the customers, she had to say no!!!
Not only that Kimberly sells very low quality products and offer scamming service, she stole my friend wages too! She owed the
more than 150 hours and now she and her accountant won’t pick up our phones. Their Clinic in Seattle is currently closed due to that incident.

Please save your money and don’t bother coming here. I’ve suffered from bad acne since my teenage years. I went to Kimberly who collected a huge amount upfront for skin products, a series of facials, antibiotics, and a chemical peel. I would say it was a 2 – 3 months process and after all that, my skin has not improved much. I don’t feel she really cares about her patients, just money hungry. I wish I never went here.

This place is a scam ! They promote their products through the Vietnamese community and ONLY the vietnamese use it. I personally bought myself a set and she guranteed it would work or else a return. After 3 months, everything got worse. My skin started breaking out. And they would not give me a return. Do not get fooled by these people !

Ok well… i havent been to this clinic and there are terrible reviews… but Dr. Kimberly gave me some sun screen at the Tet Festival in 2014 (last year) and it’s the best sunnscreen ever! It fits well under makeup, dries easily, and the ingredients in it are very natural and harmless. I want to buy more of it because its a small bottle so I’m almost out but after seeing the 4 $$$$ I think I might just try out other Target brands. Unless I can get a discount!!!

I called for an appoitment but never see her. I asked the people in the office if doctor Kimberly is MD and they said yes and yes but found out she is not. No trust this office

My esthetician, Co Huong is the best when it comes to extracting pimples, black heads, acne, white heads, etc. I’ve been to several facial clinics tried different estheticians, I am beyond satisfied with Co Huong. She’s very knowledgeable and skilled. Her hands are soft and gentle. Reason why I think she’s the best is because of her facial extraction procedure.
1. She thoroughly goes to every parts on the face looking for white heads, black heads, pimple, acne and extracts them. Leaving nothing behind. She double checks before you leave.
2. The technique she uses by gentle pushing your skin with her tool, spreading and stretching your skin out (that way you’ll feel less minimum pain as possible when extracting) then pushing the extractor against the pimple or black head to have it popped out as easy as possible without having to do it over and over again. If you keep attacking the same spot more than twice it will leave scars!
3. Been with Co Huong for 6 years, she never give me scars due to facial extractions.
4. Her tools are always sterilize. It’s important to have clean sterilize tools. Sanitation and also prevention from scarring.
5. She has so many years of experience, gentle hands with a kind heart. She truly cares for you because your her client. Within a week after the facial procedure my skin heels and is smooth back to normal.
The downfall is that this clinic only has Co Huong, she only works Friday — Sunday. At times the hour your available or the day your free she’s all booked. So you have to book in advance few days or a week ahead.

This clinic will sell you very expensive products that absolutely do nothing. you are better off going to target buying neutrogena thats even cheap that works!
The owner is a total scam. Since they have bad reviews on acne treatment now they try to sell facial products! Never coming back here… when I was leaving here was a customer that came in wanting a refund on a treatment they did that was couple thousand that did not even work for them. It is so sad
If these products are so great why isn’t it selling at regular stores. It is just crap in a bottle.
You have been warned, don’t go to this scummy place. After all this i heard the owner isn’t even a doctor as aha claims that she is.

My mother heard of this so-​called dermatologist office off from the local Vietnamese radio in Houston — Dr. Kimberly apparently has offices in both California and Texas. To start things off: I don’t trust my mother. Harsh to say and point out, but she puts too much faith into what the Vietnamese radio and news sites chuck and market at their audience.
(I recently had a run-​in at a medispa where the conditions of the office itself were septic, unclean, and the surgeon didn’t even sterilize his utensils — as referred to by my mother through Vietnamese radio.)
Right from the get-​go I knew this office was going to be a total rip-​off. Cutting through the BS, the office was tacky, dimly lit, and unkempt. In my understanding, most professionals would seek to make their offices accommodating, welcoming, and non-​threatening. Walking through the door, Dr. Kimberly’s office screamed something other than safe.
Trust your gut instinct: if you feel unease, you should probably make a run for it.
On the wall while waiting for the advertised free consultation, there were pictures of employees at an appreciation banquet. What spoke volumes was that ALL of the employees had horrible skin — which is weird, because if you work at a respectable dermatologist office, wouldn’t your skin be above average??? Even the secretary at the front desk, although as nice as she was, also had the same ice-​pick texture across her cheeks.
Onto the consultation: «Doctor», and I stress this, Kimberly admitted that her major was in biochemistry and had a specialty in dermatological products. Which, if anyone well versed in medicine should know, is basically stating that she manufactures skin products, and is NOT a dermatologist. She manufactures her own line of products called Apogee WHICH, she will try to sell to you as the «home care» portion of the one-​year treatment plan she will persuade you into signing up for. A lot of in-​it-​for-​the-​money doctors I’ve come across in Bellaire WILL tote around their own self-​created line, endorsed by theirs truly… because they don’t work. They’re sold to tack on higher yield for profit at the offices.
Dr. Kimberly kept insisting that my face was oily and that my sebaceous glands were overproducing sebum and giving me acne, when in fact, my skin type is dry/​combination. She just scanned over the input I had written for the initial intake. Once she figured I had sensitive skin, she signed me up for the gentle formulations of her line — nothing else about the extractions or pore tightening laser treatments. IN FACT, when I asked her if the resurfacing was either microdermabrasion or Fraxel lasers, she stuttered out a «laser». No details whatsoever. She was very unprofessional during the consultation and kept reaching for her phone, which buzzed constantly.
My mother was about to dish out $ 300 for the fishy product line that I reiterate, Dr. Kimberly created herself (***) but I gave my mom a look and whispered that she put the money right back into the wallet it so belongs. I told the secretary we’d be back next week (which translates to «we’ll never be coming back») because right then and there I pulled up the Unilocal reviews on my phone. SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED!
If anyone else needs more reaffirmation that Dr. Kimberly’s skin clinics are a total SCAM, go read reviews on
— reviews are either 1 star (the real ones) or 5 stars (the fake ones). Each 5-​star review is also tailored the same: Begins or ends with a specific name, mentions the free consultation and visit, mentions a specific treatment period, is under a guest reviewer account, OR, if it’s written by a registered account, it’s usually something like Thomas1984 or Regina1967: a name and birth year.
(***) = She also probably didn’t formulate and create Apogee herself because start-​ups, testing, and passing FDA approval is EXPENSIVE — she more than likely bought pre-​made products from a wholesaler manufacturer and repackaged it.

If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to some skin care products, you should think twice before purchasing Kimberly Skin Care products.
I spent $ 300 on Dr. Kimberly’s products for my wife. After using them as directed for 1 week, she developed a severe rash on her face. When she call Dr. Kimberly’s clinic, she was instructed to immediately discontinue use of the products. It took 2 additional weeks for the rash to disappear. When I tried to return the products and asked for a refund, all I was offered was a store credit.
I ask you; why would I accept a store credit for products that have proven to be harmful to my wife’s skin?
Neither Dr. Kimberly’s products nor her clinic will ever; I repeat, EVER get a positive recommendation from this household.

My mom re-​told her experience to me:
The room was too shady for the doctor to examine anything. She gave comment that my mom’s ski was thin because of her current skin care products. How could the doctor know this when she never had a closer look at my mom’s skin. She recommended my mom to buy her products. Anyway, mom got a sun screen tube as a gift; it did not have the expiration date. My mom never trusts this place.
Again, I wrote this review according to my mom’s experience.

If I could, I’ve give this place negative 100 stars. Do yourself a favor and don’t ever go here for acne treatment. The people here DO NOT know how to professionally treat acne. I did not know this prior to starting my treatment here because I had only seen an esthetician once before. What I DO know is that facials are not supposed to cause pitted scarring, which is what the people at this awful clinic did to my face. They caused multiple pitted and boxcar scaring which is taking me years to fix on my own.
This Dr. Kimberly doesn’t know anything about acne. She prescribed me antibiotics, which is fine and dandy. As a biology major who’s taken a course in microbiology, I can tell you that antibiotics don’t necessarily kill bacteria, and anyways, when it comes to acne, if you disturb cystic acne in the wrong way, it can cause the inflammation and infection to spread — which is what happened. Before my treatments here, I only had acne around my cheeks. After Dr. Kimberly started working on me, my cystic acne spread ALL OVER MY FACE. All over. No joke. And you know what? Dr. Kimberly actually got mad at me because she thought that it was my fault for not taking the antibiotics — as if that would’ve helped with the inflammation and broken skin and disturbed cystic acne (all done by Dr. Kimberly herself and her staff mind you). I did months of research only to learn that everything Dr. Kimberly did was worsening my acne.
I also voiced my concerns about the scars that I was developing from Dr. Kimberly’s extractions. She said «It’s okay.» It’s okay? IT’S OKAY? Noooooo it is NOT OKAY TO SCAR YOUR PATIENT’S FACE! I’m still angry about it now because it is taking me years to undo her horrendous work. It took me about a year to completely eliminate my acne (by using a combination of birth control and retina-​A) and after four years I am just barely reducing my pitted/​boxcar scars. If you need advice on how to eliminate such scars, shoot me a message.
To summarize:
1. Not qualified to treat acne and caused physical scarring all over my face.
2. Extremely poor customer service.
3. Not responsible and doesn’t consider that her methods for treating acne may be wrong (which they totally are).
4. Did I mention that you have to sign a contract agreeing to forfeit your right to a refund? It was stupid of me to be pressured by my parents into this and signing the damn thing.

I used to come here for facials when I was a teen. The lady who did my facials was always careful and precise. I remember being so happy because the facials really cleared up my face :) Confidence booster! :)

Kimberly left a big dark scar when I asked her to remove a small pimple bump on my back. I had to go to see a dermatologist– he used laser treatment to change the skin pigmentation on my scar to make it looks lighter. My dermatologist told me based on what she did; I would have a strong case if I wanted to file a lawsuit.
Please do your research before buying. Beware of the «Doctor» title Kimberly is using. I’ve known this woman when she just started out her business inside «Phuoc Loc Tho» in Little Saigon, CA more than 15 years ago. She’s incompetent.

If there was an option of zero stars, that’s the rating this place is gonna get.
They have no customer service skills and the people at the front are not friendly at all, more like condescending towards you. I had acne laser treatment done here and the supposed «Doctor» Kimberly didn’t even do it herself. I saw her twice during the two years that I had my laser treatments, once was when I first came in for the consultation (in which she pretended that whatever situation you’re in, the laser treatment would work around your schedule, NOT!) and the other was when I demanded to see her because of their poor service skills. People may ask why I was there for so long… it was because they take your money upfront (which is not a small amount i might add) so you have to stay until you finish, otherwise I would have left a longggggg time ago.
Once, when I had my acne extracted, the lady only finished half of my face and said that my time was over so she wouldn’t finish the other half… I was like WTF! I was not a happy camper, I started to argue with the lady at the front desk and that was the second time I saw the «doctor». From then on I never saw her again.
This place is really shady, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

I don’t understand why this place is reviewed so badly. Of course, I don’t have acne. Just the typical black head infested nose and plugged pores here and there but it only costs $ 25 bucks. Yeah, the front desk girls are a little strange. I mean they were really nice to me but I think the main girl was training a new girl but there was a second commander there too. You know how that office politics and drama goes so I didn’t really care. Back to my facial… my skins feels GREAT! I’ve been having severe dry skin because of the weather. My skin feels hydrated and ready for the world.
Skin Type: Dry
Acne: Minimal
Treatment: a full facial with extractions
Pros:
Price
Cleanliness
Facialist
Wait Time
Cons:
Only one facialist
weird office tension
Hope that helps…

ACNE!!!
Pros:
–The best extractions I’ve ever had.
Cons:
–The lady at the front desk is a total snob!
–I was there to do a complete acne regimen and was informed that I was going to be getting it done by the doctor herself… NOPE, didn’t happen. She only came in when I did the acid peels, other then that it was her other employees. I was a bit frustrated because the said that the doctor herself would do it and not anyone else.
–Regimen took a year to complete and in the end, fewer pimple that came back but now with many scarring from the previous extractions.
NOT A HAPPY CAMPER HERE.
