Editorial Review for SkinCareLab – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
On the advice of a devotee--Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker--dermatologist Dr. Bradford Katchen flew to California to check out the Epicuren skin-care line. He was so impressed that he opened SkinCareLab, the only day spa on the East Coast with the products. Sleek and minimal, yet still welcoming, the spa is one floor up from the doctor's practice--in the same Soho spot as well-known beauty sanctuary Bliss.
The Services
Results-oriented facials for all skin types: Masks include seaweed, self-heating and marine, with glycolic, oxygen and eye treatment add-ons available. The excellent SkinCareLab Facial uses customized Epicuren treatments and tingly hand-mixed masks, plus hand and foot massages. Body treatments include a heavenly grape-seed scrub (all-over exfoliation, warm shower and light hydrating massage), mud and seaweed wraps and a citrus polish. Also find massage, full-body waxing and nail services (overseen by a podiatrist).

I have been going to Jackie (Jacqueline) here for 6 months and i LOVE her. One of the things that drew me to this place was the fact that it was established by a dermatologist. My first visit was extraordinary and it gets better each time. My skin has been looking amazing and they spend so much time with you. You even get a hand and foot massage--which is always nice. It's clean, professional and the rooms make you feel so relaxed. It's in the same building as the SoHo Bliss and i feel that the personal treatment you receive here is so much better than Bliss, as well as the quality of the facials. There is no product pushing--although they do have amazing brands they carry. I love everything about this place. It's not as cheap, but after trying to "shop" facials, you just can't do it (or you end up at a place like Mario Badescu (read my review there)). Jackie usually gives me the hydrating facial, which always leaves my skin exfoliated and soft. They don't use steam here either--they put on a cream and then use hot towels to open up your pores. Again, 100% recommended for anyone searching for an amazing facial, personal service and friendly and professional staff.
Pros: facial menu, friendly staff, clean
Cons: not cheap but worth the money

Great spot, great architecture ... I finally found the spa where as a man I can feel comfortable. Loved the massage for the back. Facials are great (Thank you so much Viviane!). And very convenient when you work Downtown. I come back every 3 to 4 weeks ... ! Bryan.
Pros: Facials, product selection, location, architecture
Cons: Addictive
