Anti-acne facial in Leyton
Our Anti-Acne Facial is a 60-minute facial chosen with breakout-prone skin in mind, with deep cleansing and oil-balancing steps. It’s a cosmetic spa facial, not a medical treatment, and it starts, like every facial at our spa on High Road Leyton, with a short skin consultation.
Time and price
What the facial includes
The facial is built around deep cleansing and oil-balancing steps. Your therapist works through the facial (cleansing, exfoliation, massage and the finishing products) and adjusts each step to your skin on the day, using professional skincare products chosen for your skin type.
Your consultation and realistic expectations
Your therapist looks at your skin and asks about your routine and anything that bothers you. We can’t promise a particular result from a facial, and we don’t diagnose or treat skin conditions. For persistent or painful acne, see your GP or a dermatologist: a spa facial isn’t a medical treatment.
Talk to us about your skincare first
Please tell us when you book if you:
- use prescription skincare, or have been given skincare advice by a doctor or dermatologist;
- have a diagnosed skin condition;
- have reacted to a facial, product or treatment before, or have allergies.
We may suggest a gentler facial or a patch test first. In the day or two before and after your facial, pause strong actives such as retinol or exfoliating acids, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Arrive with little or no make-up if you can, and use SPF afterwards.
Anti-Acne or Deep Cleansing?
If breakouts are your main concern, choose the Anti-Acne Facial. If it’s more shine and congestion, the Deep Cleansing Facial is the usual choice; if your skin also reacts easily, see facials for sensitive skin. Not sure? Book the closer match and your therapist will adjust the treatment at your consultation.
Men’s Anti-Acne Facial
The Men’s Anti-Acne Facial follows the same steps and products, adjusted to your skin. Choose Men’s Facials when you book, then the facial: the booking form shows only the therapists who provide it, including when you choose “any therapist”. If you’ve just shaved or have any irritation, say so at your consultation. Men’s facials

Visiting us
Artisa Spa is at 359 High Road Leyton, London E10 5NA, in East London, a short walk from Leyton Underground station (Central line), with buses stopping close by. We’re open Monday to Saturday 10:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–20:00. When you book online you can ask us to sort out your parking: we arrange a visitor permit for your car for your appointment and email you where to park. Your permit starts at your appointment time, or earlier if you choose, and the council allows 10 minutes after it ends; the permit streets we send you to are about 3 minutes’ walk away. On match days at Brisbane Road, the stadium right behind the spa, parking is very hard anywhere in Leyton: allow at least 20 minutes to find a space. Please arrive 10 minutes early for your consultation. Questions first? Call 020 8558 8268.
Anti-acne facial FAQs
Is this a cosmetic facial or a medical acne treatment?
A cosmetic facial. It’s chosen for breakout-prone skin, but it isn’t a medical treatment and we don’t give medical or dermatological advice. For persistent or painful acne, please see your GP or a dermatologist.
What should I mention during my consultation?
Your usual routine, any prescription skincare or advice from your doctor, any diagnosed skin condition, and anything that has caused a reaction before. If any of these apply, tell us when you book as well.
Is there a men’s version?
Yes. The Men’s Anti-Acne Facial is 60 minutes and £75, with the same steps and products, adjusted to your skin.
Can I use a facial course?
Yes. The Anti-Acne Facial is one of the seven specialised facials you can mix and match in a course.
