STUNNING! I love this product. Only been using it for 2 weeks but I can already see a huge improvement in my skin’s texture. Will definitely buy again and plan in trying some of the other products in this range as well. 🙂

Dark spots are fading away, have been using this product for two about 2 weeks now. There is a difference.
So good I HAD to buy TWO sf products!! –
Love, love, LOVE!!!! I have been dying to get my hands on niacinamide (from a brand I won’t name) for ages but due to availability and affordability I just wasn’t having any luck. My skin has never looked and felt this good and I can guarantee you that the niacinamide does EXACTLY as described on the packaging – I don’t even experience sweating or oiliness when wearing makeup anymore! Discovering Skin Functional has to be one of the BEST things that has ever happened to me and when I found out it was a local brand I just KNEW the company had formed a 30ml-sized space in my heart.

I love that niacinamide is the 2nd ingredient on the list & I love the other skin soothers & anti-oxidants that are included into the formulation. I will say this serum is not as sticky as the one from The Ordinary. Love the packaging as well. I have only been using this for 3 weeks & have noticed subtle changes. It is however way too early to give any definite opinions, so I will only do so once I have used the entire content of this first bottle.

I have been using the Blemish Corrector for a full month now and wow! I suffer from oily, breakout prone skin, this serum has reduced my oiliness to a normal level (no more blotting my face with tissue!) and also prevented new breakouts while lightening the scarring I had from previous spots. This is my game changer product and I will be trying more products from SF. 10/10

I am half way through my bottle, but I have a verdict – 10’s across the board!!! This serum is proving to be a massive step up from The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. It has much better spreadability and absorption and it does not foam up, which were my main issues with the above mentioned product. I also don’t experience any flushing and it’s great to buffer my Retin A & decrease sensitization. Really fantastic and minimal ingredient list. This product definitely is as good as it’s ingredients. It keeps my pores nice & clean, it delays my oils from surfacing, it brightens & it improves my hydration levels. You don’t have to take my word for it, but if you do the research you will find that this is a no nonsense formulation that does exactly what it should. This proudly South African brand is easy to stock up on & you should not experience the same delays as with imported goods. They are also extremely affordable! I am very confident in this product and will continue to spend my coin on it.

Super light and easy to apply, and it absorbs fast, its perfect for a day time serum. I am almost finished my first bottle, and its such a good product for my typically very oily and very red skin.

I have been using this product on my teenage daughters face. First the Exfoliating Glow Tonic, followed by this serum. Her skin changed in 2 weeks. Fantastic results! Will definitely buy again and again.

I recently purchased this product- however, I made the mistake of not thoroughly reading the ingredient list and realized that this product is not fragrance-free (as advertised). Flower and plant essences, like bergamot extract, is a fragrance and can irritate acne and eczema-prone skin (like myself). Admittedly, my acne has been manageable, not perfect, with this product and I would still love to continue using it. I just want to point out that the claims can be misconstrued by people who truly wish to use fragrance-free skincare.
SkinFunctional –
Hi Lisa, You are completely correct in that Bermot essential oil is potentially an irritant and forms part of many different fragrance sources. However, the Bergamot in reference in the 10% Niacinamide is in fact a water soluble extract from a leaf. In other words, the Beramot in this product is not an essential oil. This is an entirely different raw material to the essential oil you are making reference to. It has no fragrance contribution and is not a source of irritants as associated with any of the essential oils. SKIN functional is committed to 100% transparency so the claims we make are 100% ethical.

AMAZING! This product is incredible. It’s considerably reduced oiliness on my face and the feel of my skin has dramatically improved. The acne scars also fade faster. My skin is SUPER picky about what goes on it and generally has bad reactions but not with this Niacinamide serum. It’s not harsh at all and absorbs nicely into the skin. A must-have product in your routine!!

Thank you Skin Functional for being so responsive and informative. After using this product for more than month I can truly see improvement in my skin and it has made my breakouts so much more manageable.

1. Ordered this product on Thursday directly from Skin functional site and received it on Friday morning – not only am I extremely imp with how fast my order was processed and delivered but the sales support is amazing! It felt more like a gift with the note and instructions to use the product, skin functional really really knows how to value their customers and make them feel special ❤️
2. The product – although I haven’t been using it for more than a few days, I decided to purchase this product as I was already using the multi tasking fixer and bha blemish corrector(since June) , which I would most certainly die for, the results have been amazing, and the niacinamide is a good fit, my skin is not as oily as it used to be. I look forward to using this product for the next few months 😊
As someone with sensitive skin, prone to breakouts and blemishes I will definitely stick to this brand til the day I die. 😁
Xoxo

I have oily, acne prone skin and this product works amazingly! Really helps to keep my breakouts at bay and when used in combination with the azelaic acid helps to fade post acne marks in about 6 weeks with continued use. Visible results such a smoother skin can be noticed within 2 weeks of using the product. I use this serum twice a day and have had zero reactions.

I’m 29 and have dry sensitive skin, prone to rashes and eczema, dark circles and discoloration.
The ingredient list, the price, the ease of access is what made me buy this product.
The formula, the products ease with working in conjunction with other actives and the transformation my skin is taking, has made me buy my second and 3rd bottle today.
This is my favourite of the serums so far.
It’s very well tolerated, provides a gorgeous moisture glow of it’s own. Scentless! And has made a noticeable difference in evening out my skin.
Love love love!

This product is amazing. I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks and I’m loving the progress. On my first week I used it twice daily and within in 2 – 3 days my skin was smooth and all the little bumps were gone. However, I soon started experiencing a burning sensation on my T-zone around the 4th night. The next morning I woke up with peeling skin on my T-zone and around my lips and the area around my lips hurt badly. I did some research and found out that there might be an emulsifier used in the product which dries out my skin. So I took about 5 days off the product to heal and started using it again 2 weeks ago. Now I use it once a day every second day and my skin looks amazing. My skin is smooth and my dark spots are vanishing.
10/10 recommend. If you have dry or sensitive skin try use it once a day or every other day to avoid what happened to me. I have combination skin that is more on the dry end.

I was slightly skeptical about this product because I knew little of it but as soon as I did my research, I tried it. Well…. it’s safe to say that I’m not turning back. My pores reduced and skin texture is looking amazing. If you have acne-prone skin like me, it’ll definitely help with oil production too.
clalissamagunde (verified owner) –
I haven’t tried all the products on the site but I already know this is the best product ever. Student budget or not. I’ll always make sure i have this in my skincare bag. I’m acne prone & combination and this has helped a whole lot. Love it ❤️🥺!!!
mmukumbe (verified owner) –
I’ve waited about a month before giving this review (even though I started seeing improvements within the first week), and I can safely say that this product works v well for my (sensitive and acne-prone) skin. My pores aren’t as clogged so they don’t appear as enlarged anymore, and even my most stubborn blemish marks are fading away. 10/10 would recommend
yusraabrahams (verified owner) –
I am a fan of The Ordinarys Niacinimide and let me say, this one is better!! I really enjoyed using it. Does the job. I even used it in a mixture with another product on my sons eczema and it really improved his skin too. I will definitely repurchase. My only wish is that it comes in a larger volume.
