Adam’s Skin Care

I went to Adam about a week in a half ago for my very first time and received my very first chemical peel. MY SKIN LOOKS AMAZING AFTER A WEEK OF PEELING! I have very good skin but in the winter it gets really dry, my skin looks like a baby again after his treatment! He is very very patient and very knowledgable. He answered all of my questions and even suggested products to me that he doesn’t even sell himself. He actually never even brought up his own products I had to ask which is great! I was in and out but enjoyed pampering and awesome conversation. Look forward to the future… I wonder if he does facials!!!

THANK YOU ADAM!!! Ok, now that that’s out of the way I will say Adam did an excellent job. I have VERY sensitive skin and my skin was in shambles when I met Adam (aka my new skin friend). I typically get a skin treatment once a month for maintenance but some other expenses kept me from doing that for nearly 5 months. I told Adam to recommend what he thought was best and he said he knew the perfect treatment that would help with my hyper pigmentation. Needless to say the next few days following my treatment there is a visible improvement. I would say after the next treatment I’ll be back to where I want to be and I’m excited for my future results!!!
I would also like to mention that Adam has the kindest spirit and he’s a pleasure to be around :).

I have had a couple of sessions with Adam, one for microdermabrasion and another one for microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) and I can already see the difference in my skin. He also gave me a skin care regimen that’s been helpful too (and no, he did not sell me anything, he just told me a list of things to do and I bought those stuff at my choice of stores). Adam is also very personable, so you can get your skin care needs taken care of in a nice, relaxed and comfortable setting.

If you’ve been looking for an esthetician in Chicago, no need to look further. Adam is a miracle worker! I have only done one microneedling treatment and I already see a huge difference in my skin. Adam is extremely knowledgeable, patient and just awesome. I look forward to my upcoming appointments. His prices are also extremely affordable. You can’t go wrong!

I have been to Adam twice so far for microdermabrasion and could not be any happier. After the treatments, my face feels and looks so soft and smooth. Adam is extremely personable and puts you at ease. He explains the procedure in detail if you have any questions. I love that he does not push any products on you, but will give recommendations if you ask. I would definitely recommend Adam for your skin care needs.

Adam is so awesome! I’ve only been to him twice now, but I can tell a huge difference in my skin already. Not only is he very knowledgeable about skin care, but he is the nicest person I’ve met in Chicago. I love chatting with him during our sessions! He tailors to your skin care needs and definitely goes above and beyond to help you. His prices are VERY reasonable and he’s worth every penny plus some. I also love that he doesn’t push products on you. Do yourself a favor and go see Adam.

Adam was great with my skin and very attentive. I would have preferred to have done more on my skin though but its good to come in once in a while for a deep cleaning.

I cannot say enough good things about Adam’s skin care and I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their skin or just get a relaxing facial!
First of all, Adam is very personable and makes you feel very comfortable during your appointments. His studio is very clean and he uses very good products. Adam will never try anything on your skin that he hasn’t done to himself first, so you can rest assured that he’s not going to harm your skin. His treatment prices are also very reasonable compared to others, making it easy to create an ongoing treatment plan.
Adam has made a big difference in my skin and self-​confidence. For several years, I struggled with terrible skin. I tried everything with the exception of Accutane, and nothing seemed to work for me. I also have some scarring from when my acne was at its worst in my early twenties. I used to feel like everyone was looking at me and thinking that I had terrible skin. I was very self-​conscious. Now, I rarely feel self-​conscious about my skin, which has been a dream of mine for several years.
For anyone with acne or acne scarring, I would recommend that you try Adam’s Skin Care. You may discover that you don’t need to go to the dermatologist, all you need is to get on a good skin regiment!
My personal skin plan involves the dermaroller topped with a chemical peel. For anyone who has never done the treatment, to me, the dermaroller feels like the tips of several ballpoint pens are being pushed against your skin. The first roll might be a bit off putting, but your body adjusts to the feeling and it’s really not so bad after that first roll! The chemical peel portion feels like when you get a cut and you put a disinfectant on the cut. Adam gives a fan and it’s also really not that bad either. Adam also will put numbing cream on the face and I do think it makes the experience better. I would say the results are well worth any discomfort.
It took me a few months to see results, so be patient! Overtime, your skin will thank you for going to Adam’s skin care. Thank you Adam for making my skin beautiful again!

Adam is like Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz with a little bit of Judge Judy in his personality. He is an excellent listener and gives excellent advice on skin care (let’s get real people). He cares about your health. It is important to drink a ton of water since our bodies are 60% water (diet is important to skin care, but Adam is great at explaining the ying-​yang without being aggressive or arrogant). Adam is direct and gets right to the point (just like Judge Judy), which I appreciate. I found Adam through a friend who has been a long-​time client/​customer at Adam’s Skin Care. She used to go to a very high-​end place and would pay three times more for her skin care treatments. I am so very thankful that my friend told me all about Adam’s Skin Care. I look at this as an «investment» and not really a luxury. As a teenager I had peaches and cream skin and never experienced acne issues whatsoever. However, once I became an adult and my hormones began to change in my late 30’s I started experiencing some issues with my face. This really made me seek out professionals, because I was determined to have these issues resolved (not just «treated»). I wanted real results for my skin (face), so I began seeing a Dermatologist, and my skin improved somewhat, but it has improved even more so with Adam’s Skin Care treatments. Absolutely, 150% improvement… it’s like a miracle. I rarely give five stars on Unilocal.In order for me to give a 5-​star rating, the business or restaurant has to be truly extraordinary go above and beyond expectations, provide excellent customer service, and truly shine in a unique way. Adam’s Skin Care fits this profile and then some!
When I think of the word «chemical peel» I visualized Samantha Jones from «Sex and the City» when she had a «chemical peel» and her face was red and raw in appearance. Samantha Jones wore a black hat with a see-​through veil covering her face. It sure looked painful. I have been going to Adam’s Skin Care for several months now and, WOW, I am truly impressed by the results that I have noticed on my skin (in particular, my face). It not only looks really, really, really great, but it feels super silky and it is glowing. It doesn’t look oily or greasy, but appears very healthy. I have combination skin (t-​zone area is dry while the rest of my face is not).
Adam is a people person. He’s professional. He is an excellent listener. He makes all of his treatments reasonable/​affordable. He is very smart. The results of my skin care continues to amaze me. Actually, pretty outstanding. My face feels like a newborn baby’s bottom — silky smooth — I know I am not supposed to touch my face. We’re supposed to keep our fingers off of our face, but it is really difficult to stop touching my face because of how silky-​smooth it feels. I now walk around without a stitch of make-​up on my face. I feel super confident that my face (skin) looks great due to the skin care I have received from Adam. I highly recommend Adam’s Skin Care for either short-​term and/​or long-​term treatments.
Finally, I have received many compliments about my skin (face) from complete strangers. I was recently at Mariano’s waiting to pay, and a lady who appeared to be in her early 40’s tapped me on my left shoulder. I turned around. She smiled and asked me «what do you use on your face — your skin is soooo beautiful!» I said, «I use Adam’s Skin Care» and gave her his contact information right on the spot. True story!

I previously wrote a negative review as I had not heard from Adam for several days after inquiring about a facial (I was sort of in a hurry for one). He said he was out of town and upon returning offered me a service completely for free for not promptly answering. I could never take a free service but the offer was extremely generous. I really appreciated that and I would definitely recommend him.

Adam is great, his work space is relaxing, and I see immediate results after a visit. I recommend Adam’s Skin Care to any person who wants to melt away the stress of city life or would like healthier skin.

Adam is so awesome that I decided to write my first Unilocal review about him.
He is warm, accommodating, inviting, and generous with his time. I love going to see him. My skin broke out horribly and Adam made me feel so much better! Moreover, there is absolutely no pressure put on you to buy products. You can tell that he loves what he does and makes you feel so special. I can’t wait to see him again! Highly recommended.

Adam is fantastic! I’ve been seeing him for over half a year now, and the results are amazing! Not only I notice improvements but people around me compliment my skin all the time, saying how glowing and healthy it looks. Even my husband asked to thank Adam for making me so beautiful :)
The atmosphere at Adam’s salon is so relaxing and inviting. It’s a true SPA experience without the SPA price tag.
Besides his professionalism, Adam is a very genuine and caring person. It’s hard not to love him, and I think all 5-​star reviews prove it well.

Love Adam’s Skin Care! Adam is so friendly and actually takes the time to sit and listen to your concerns and goals for your skin. I’ve gone there for a facial as well as a few peels. As a newb to peels I was nervous, but Adam made himself incredibly available afterwards for all of my questions about my skin’s recovery. In between sessions I’ve even sent him emails to ask random questions about products and he’s always happy to respond.
I haven’t been in a little while because I’m on a prescription for my skin and can’t get peels, but I can’t WAIT to go back. So relaxing, such a great atmosphere. Definitely highly recommend!

Adam always manages to make my skin feel so fresh so clean clean and feel like a baby’s bottom. I don’t know how he does it, but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn I’m gonna miss him when I move! Over the two years, Adam has not only become my go-​to guy for «making me beautiful,» but he has become a close friend in the process. I came 10 minutes late for my appointment and Adam didn’t rush me OR the appointment. He’s gracious, and is always fun to talk to during facials. He’s the type of person who makes you feel comfortable, but is realistic about what he can do for you and your skin.
All I really want to say is that I’ll miss Adam, his beautiful self and his gentle hands that slather, slap and suck goop on and off my face. He’s got the best deal in the city (a microdermabrasion includes facials and extractions) and he’s gotten the congestion in my nose to just fade away~

Adam is all around amazing! I have been seeing him regularly over the past 2 – 3 months. He has helped clear my congested skin, he is great to have a conversation with, and I always leave feeling refreshed and with amazing skin.
And a genuinely awesome guy, so glad I found him!

Come for the great conversation and the killer stress relieving spa experience.
Stay for the kick ass facial.
My skin sucks. Not only that, but I’ve been know to be lazy with the late night cleansing regimen, weekly masks, etc. Enter Adam + a crazy awesome groupon microdermabrasion deal = Happy Jen. It was easy to book my appointments and I loved how Adam never overbooked himself and we always started on time. In fact, I often arrived 15 – 20 minutes before my appointment and was able to walk right in. My service was never rushed, and always thorough. Unlike other places that will charge much more for microdermabrasion and give you just one sweep of the skin with the microderm machine, Adam actually includes a facial, complete with extractions and mask. And Adam is an amazing person. The conversation flowed so easily and he’s a cat lover, need I say more? I also loved how quiet his place is, so it was easy to get my zen on.
Bottom line, this place was a total win and unbelievable find for me. It’s totally doable money wise (at $ 240 for a series of 3) and is pretty much a buy one get one free when you compare the prices other places charge for just a facial or microderm on their own. This makes it so much easier to commit to that once a month facial you know you should be treating your deserving ass to. So get up on it and book yourself some Adam time, and thank me later.

Just book your appointment now. Before he fills up forever and never has an opening ever again. Adam is número uno. The best, a fantastic hidden gem in Lincoln Park. Men want to be him. Women want to be with him… so that they can have beautiful, wrinkle-​free skin.
After reading Adam’s reviews here on Unilocal,I booked a facial with him seeing as I need to clear up some problem areas with my wedding coming up next year. Adam welcomed me with open arms and we got down to business.
What I appreciate most about Adam is his sweet way of cutting the crap and being real. He understands that people are not perfect and don’t always rinse and scrub and masque and keep their hands off their faces. He offers great suggestions but does it in such a kind manner that you feel like you’ve known him your entire life. He takes great pain to make sure you are comfortable the entire time and that you leave having all your questions answered. Plus he’s adorable to boot. I loved hearing the stories about his significant other and his family.
Perhaps my favorite thing about Adam is that you can get your skin taken care of without having to sell a kidney in order to pay for it. His prices are more than reasonable and he never pressures you into buying anything you don’t need or can’t afford. It would be easy to sell a microdermabrasion for $ 150 in the city of Chicago. Adam does it for about half of that and offers fantastic customer service as well.
For all those that don’t have time to read a long review and need a one line take-​away, it’s this: any time with Adam is time well spent– book your appointment now.

In an attempt to take better care of my skin, I looked on Unilocal for Esthetician recommendations and found Adam…
WOW! I’m so glad I did!
Adam’s treatment room is comfortable, clean, and cozy and he makes you feel right at ease from the beginning. He is a true professional and is not only knowledgeable about his craft, but he has a palpable passion for skin care and helping people become their best selves.
Adam allowed enough time for me to fill out a consulation form and reviewed it with me to determine the best needs for my skin. He determined, with my approval, the best remedy would be a combination Microdermabrasion and Facial treatment.
I’ve always been hesitant about Microderm treatments, but Adam was confident that I would not look like a freak after the treatment (after I’d confessed I was worried my face would turn bright red and splotchy) and he was correct.
When I left my treatment, my skin never felt more soft and smooth… and, as promised, the microderm really helped minimize some of my fine lines that have accumulated in my 40 year old face! lol
I highly recommend Adam’s Skin Care for your skin care needs. Your face will thank you for it!

Adam is an absolute darling.
On my very first visit, he had me fill out a consultation card, address my problem (acne scars on my back), and provided a gentle peel and some extractions with utmost care and attention. Later he made sure to give me some samples of products and told me to contact him in two days to see how my skin reacted to his treatment. That was all on just the first visit! Since then, I’ve managed to easily set up appointments with him roughly every 2 – 3 weeks and my skin has dramatically changed.
The more I see him– for anything from a dermaroller to a peel– the more I love him. He treats you with the respect you deserve for the problems that (for me at least) you find embarrassing. On your worst days, he makes you feel incredibly beautiful.
And his prices? I mean, where else in the city would get a peel for just $ 70? Come on.
