Why Facial Lounge
Facial Lounge was founded by esthetician and cosmetic ingredient specialist Amber Johnson, who spent years studying under leading dermatology researchers before setting out to build skincare that didn't force a trade-off between "natural" and "actually works."
Every formula is developed with the same standard we use in our spas in Newport Beach CDM and Costa Mesa: clean ingredients, dermatologist-informed formulation, and real results — tested on real skin, never on animals.
Why Facial Lounge
Facial Lounge was founded by esthetician and cosmetic ingredient specialist Amber Rose Johnson, who studied under leading dermatology researchers before setting out to build skincare that didn't force a trade-off between "natural" and "actually works."
Every formula meets the same standard we hold in our own spas in Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa: clean ingredients, dermatologist-informed formulation, and real results on real skin.
What we Leave out
We formulate without the ingredients most linked to irritation and long-term harm, including:
- Sulfates — strip the skin's natural barrier
- Parabens & phthalates — linked to hormone disruption
- Synthetic fragrance — a common irritant trigger
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
Every ingredient is vetted before it goes in the bottle — not just checked against a marketing checklist.
Our commitment
Vegan, cruelty-free, and tested where it counts
Every product is vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and gluten-free. None of our products are tested on animals — but they are extensively tested on humans, because that's the skin they're actually made for.
We're also proudly female-owned and family-run, with more than 20 years in skincare behind every formula.

Amber's products work beautifully & I just love her calming hydragel for my skin, esp to calm my redness.
- NTNikolai T.Rated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoSoothing after wash
This Hydragel is truly the product your skin craves after using the pore clarifying brown wash. The way it feels on your skin while your skin soaks it up is truly amazing. The thin lines on your forehead will disappear and it leaves a very smooth feel and nice tea tree fragrance for the calming.
- TJTracy J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoPerfect product!
I have been using the Calming Hydragel daily for over 3 years. I have oily sensitive skin and my skin just loves this! It is mattifying but still moisturizing and instantly calms down any redness or puffiness. I use it under my makeup as a primer and can't imagine my routine without it.
