Let customers speak for us
I gave it to my partner because I wasn't into using it. My partner absolutely loved it and said it's very moisturising without causing clogged pores.
Really helps you get your glow on! Both my partner and I use it.
The application is fantastic. It absorbs quickly and isn't too tacky. It's really helped with my PIE/PIH and some pigmentation.
I love this serum. I've been using it for over a year, and I get really great results. The best improvements have been in my fine lines and pigmentation.
Love Skin Functional products. Affordable and good quality. My first oder came on the same day that I placed the order. Very impressed. Will be a life-long buyer and supporter for sure.
