Not sure which facial to choose? You can also schedule dedicated consultation time with your esthetician to discuss your health history, current products, expectations, and treatment plan.
Which Facial Is Right for Your Skin?
The best facial is not determined by a trendy treatment name. It depends on what your skin is doing today, what concerns you want to address, your sensitivity, and your long-term goals.
Someone with oily skin can also be dehydrated. Sensitive skin can still experience congestion. Mature skin may need hydration, exfoliation, firmness support, or all three.
If you're unsure where to begin, Citrine's What Facial Is Best for My Skin Type? guide can help you understand your options before your appointment.

What Raleigh Clients Say About Their Facial Experience
Choosing a facial spa is about more than the treatment menu. Personalized care, professional expertise, trust, and feeling heard all matter. Here's what Citrine clients have shared about their experiences.
“I have very sensitive skin and 10+ allergies, which can make it difficult to find somewhere willing to work with my allergy list. From the very first appointment, my aesthetician had a plan for what products would be safe for me. She ensures my facials are effective and regularly proposes how we can change things up. I sincerely appreciate the attention to detail and high quality service. I’m extremely picky about my skin care, and Citrine has been wonderful.”

“I can’t recommend Mary Alice enough! She’s the only person I trust with my face. Every facial feels completely customized because she always assesses what my skin needs that day instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I always leave feeling so hydrated and glowy. My skin has never looked better!”
