Let customers speak for us
I was a bit nervous about this as my skin is quite sensitive even though I use retinoids at night. I had a bad reaction from glycolic acid before that was too strong. This is just the right amount of exfoliation in the morning.
The support that comes with every purchase is what makes me come back and buy again. Shopping is easy to do on the website and there is always someone ready to help incase you may need help or just have a question about a product.
I use the 6% mandelic exfoliating tonic in the evening after cleansing and it makes my skin feel "youthful". I must admit that this is the first tonic that I use that really feels comfortable and that I can see the "work" it is doing. Because of my combination skin I used to never like tonics/toners as it made me feel more stripped than nourised. But I love my new found favorite.
Since I started using the ultimate range with the peptides + Cu complex serum in the mornings, I've noticed that my once very oily t-zone has been changing. I don't struggle that much any more with overproduction of oil on my forehead and nose and my skin has a very soft feel to it. The fine lines around my eyes and mouth has also improved since starting to use the serum. I'm very happy with the results so far and can't wait so see what it looks like in a month or two!
I started using the caffeine + peptides serum from a freebe that I got. And I was so impressed with how my eye area improved that I had to make it part of my morning routine. It's gentle on the area and within a few minutes I can see the difference it makes from waking up to putting on my daily makeup.
I am very impressed Skin Functional. I like that the products are affordable, that there are experts on hand to advise and I like that the order arrives quickly. I'm a very satisfied customer.
Since I have started using this eye complex I really have noticed a big change. The skin around my eyes is no longer dry and the bags under my eyes are noticeably reduced. Best eye product I've used in years.
I love this cleanser. It makes my skin feel really clean without being dry and I like the texture of my skin from the salicylic acid. I'll definitely be buying it again.
I don't normally use eye creams as I haven't seen any of them really make a difference. This one does. You need very little, and it goes a long way. I will buy this again.
Absolute must-have product. I can definitely see the difference in my skin, and I feel like it enhances everything else I use.
I will keep this as a staple in my routine. It leaves my skin feeling dewy and glossy. It is by far the best moisturiser I have tried.
I did not enjoy the smell of the product at first, but it does fade quite quickly, and the results are worth it.
This is my favourite sunscreen to use. It's lightweight and can be used on its own without moisturiser. My skin feels protected throughout the day. No white cast at all and I have medium-dark skin. Smells really nice. No pilling or eye irritation either. This is the only SF sunscreen that doesn't have any issues for me
