Hi there! My name is Abril Centurion and I am CEO of The Skin Clear Studio, Licensed Aesthetician, and Oceanside's #1 Face Reality Certified Acne Specialist. I was born in Argentina and grew up in Southern California where my passion for beauty and skincare began at a very young age. Growing up with two entrepreneur parents, starting their businesses from the ground up, my drive to one day start my own business never went away. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, I began breaking out constantly and my acne began to consume me. I became like a detective trying to figure out what was causing my acne. I ended up going back to school to get my Esthetics license in the pursuit of trying to clear my own acne and perhaps one day clear others too! I realized that drugstore acne brands never worked for me and the only solutions dermatologists offered involved prescription topical or oral medications, which either ended up making my acne worse or only temporarily fixed the problem. Post Esthetics school, I was still breaking out. And then I found Face Reality. I heard about their Acne Specialist Training Program through an Aesthetician I looked up to and I decided to become a Certified Acne Specialist myself. Since then, I have changed the lives of people struggling with acne and in doing so have unlocked a new level of fulfillment. I understand acne can be a REAL struggle, not only externally but internally. Skin health is mental health. Because of this, I made it my purpose in life to help others clear their acne and age well in the process. I am thoroughly trained in my craft and look forward to changing the lives of many more through my holistic skincare treatments and customized regimens.
At The Skin Clear Studio, quality is of the utmost importance. We treat our clients using professional clinical grade skincare because that is what we have seen actually works. We will not recommend a product unless we truly believe it is going to help the client. Without proper guidance from your Aesthetician, it can be difficult to select the right products for your skin. To avoid any adverse reactions from improper use, we recommend booking a consultation with us first, so that we may curate a customized home care regimen tailored specifically to your skin concerns. We only want the best for you and your skin!

Our Face Reality Acne Bootcamp has a 90% success rate with clients getting clear in approximately 3-6 months of biweekly treatments. Our Acne Specialist Abril will conduct a skin analysis, discuss acne triggers, determine a plan for getting you clear, and send you home with a customized home care regimen which will put you on the path to clear skin. Commitment to the acne bootcamp program entails booking biweekly follow up treatments along with purchasing the products recommended to you by your acne expert, and using them as instructed. These two factors are crucial to your success in getting clear. If you are unable to commit to biweekly appointments, we cannot guarantee results in a 3-6 months approximate span and therefore will suggest you become a virtual client by booking a virtual acne bootcamp appointment. Option to add on your first treatment in the program!
During these appointments, we will typically perform an acne peel or an enzyme treatment with little to no downtime and strengthen your home care regimen as needed. Commitment to these appointments is a prerequisite to becoming an in person acne client. Must book a consultation before or in conjunction with this treatment. To become a virtual acne client, book a virtual acne consult.
