Montarbo Skincare — Local services in San Diego

Cody is an absolute GEM/God Sent/Miracle worker! From the very first day I met Cody, I knew that the stars aligned for us to meet. I have been struggling with cystic, hormonal acne for the past year and a half, along with large areas of dark hyperpigmentation on my face. I have always had minor acne issues here and there growing up, but nothing like this. If you have had issues similar, then you know what kind of emotional and mental upset can come with such insecurities. To constantly want to hide or cover up your face with tons of make up is a terrible feeling. Not to mention the exhaustion of trying everythingggg without any progress. I’ve spent so much financially on several different skincare lines, facials, oral medications etc. Then I met Cody! From day 1, Cody welcomed me with open arms, was super supportive of what I was going through and gave me a genuine consultation. Cody never pressured me or tried to sell me anything, which is just one thing I love about him. I’ve been to several places that just try to sell you a product or facial, promising it works and then rush you out the door. Cody did the exact opposite, no pressure just genuine advice. I ended up purchasing a package of 6 facials from Cody and currently have finished 4 of them. I cannot even describe the results I have gotten so far! Although the peels can me a bit uncomfortable, it’s nothing you cannot manage and the new skin that comes through is totally worth the struggle. I look forward to each and every peel knowing that my skin is only improving and I cannot wait to see the before and after photos. Cody is seriously the real deal. If you are struggling with your skin I highly recommend checking him out. Not only am I extremely happy with his work, but also just super thankful I met him. He has a huge heart and is an expert at what he does. You can really tell how much he genuinely cares and wants to help you see the results that you want to see. On the business side of it, Cody’s prices are very reasonable, he doesn’t try to push his products on you (although he has some awesome stuff), and he is very professional to work with. Thank you Cody for everything...

I cannot express just how much I adore Crystal and Montarbo skincare. I’m a black woman and have been so self-conscious about my skin my entire life. I was never ever a clear, glowing skin girly that could confidently go out in the world without something on whether it be concealer, tinted moisturizer, foundation, etc. to hide my imperfections. I have been battling several things at some point or another (i.e. mild hormonal acne, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, dry skin, oily skin, etc.). You name it, I’ve dealt with it. I’ve tried endless products from Sephora that didn’t work.

I finally couldn’t take it anymore and I decided to put my embarrassment aside and find skincare professionals to help guide me. I had never been to one before or had any facial treatments. My research led me to Montarbo and I could not be happier. I committed to a peel package with Crystal and so far, it’s been incredible. She is so kind, personable, and makes me feel so comfortable on this journey. I was a little nervous about a peel since I never had one, but she prepares you for everything that you’ll experience during and after. You might look a little crazy for a few days with your skin peeling off, but it’s so worth it. Now, I look forward to them every month lol. Along with Crystal’s wealth of knowledge and expert advice I purchased some of their products which are also amazing. You can tell they put a great deal of time, effort, and passion into creating products that actually work. They have a variety of products that can tackle whatever it is you need help with, and they will give you guidance on the frequency of use and steps you should take. I’m only halfway through my package and a few months in with this new regimen of products, yet I feel so much more confident in myself now, finally seeing results. It won’t ever be super perfect, but I’m truly understanding my skin better and how to take care of it which is what I’ve always wanted. It makes me sad I waited so long to find the courage to get assistance from professionals. I selfishly want to keep Crystal and Montarbo skincare to myself, but other people should know how...

(This is my second time) Using a TCA peel 30% @ home) the first results was terrible! I did not get a good peel and my face burn terribly the after effects of this peel was a disaster!!
