Have only been using this for two weeks. I use it morning and night. it makes skin feel extra clean after cleansing before I apply any other products. And my skin has definitely cleared up. A little bit goes a long way. It would be so handy if the bottle was a spray or pump bottle, to prevent excess wastage. Will definitely repurchase!

I use this every day as a toner after the salicylic wash. Works extremely well and does exactly what it says – clears blemishes and unclogs pores (makes them disappear actually).

Been using this as part of the Acne Oily Skin package and It’s a week now. The results are so great. I’m going to continue with my Acne oily skin package. I’m super happy with the product.
My skin reacts to alcohol and I’m glad these products don’t have alcohol. Happy skin, happy customer.

This is an amazing tonic. My skin is most definatley glowing since I started using Skin Functional, with specific mention to the Texture and Blemish Tonic. Its a game changer.
A larger bottle would make me the happiest girl in world!

Absolutely love this toner/tonic. I did experience some purging, which was expected after reading some of the online reviews, but luckily that only lasted about a week. My skin is definitely glowing and my blemishes are fading.
lol, I just wish there was a 200ml bottle *hint* *hint*
