Acne where? Im finally acne free. It literally takes 3 days to feel the difference and a week to see a big change with salicylic acid. Im very grateful to have found this product. My review pictures are gonna speak for themselves ❤️❤️
O my word, If you looking magic in bottle this is the 1. With in only a couple of day, the tenure of my skin is as smooth as a new born babies bottom. Will definitely be buying more of this product. No burning or skin irritation. Breakouts is a think of the past
Perfect exfoliator as it slowly peeling the dead skin cells and expose healthy looking skin. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I recommend
As someone who has an oily t-zone and sometimes struggles with closed comedones, this is an amazing product for gentle exfoliation
I've been using Fundamental Skincare products for about a month now and I'm absolutely obsessed with how well this works. Definitely recommend!! <3
Oh i'm loving these products. Choosing fundamentals is the best decision i have ever made for my skincare routine. Its budget friendly and works wonders, it has only been 3months and the melasma is fading, face feels smoother i can confidently go out without makeup. I'm pairing it with alpha arbutin, 1% ceramide moisturiser and 30% spf.
amazing
👌
This is a good toner. Been using it on other parts of my body and it seems to be working. Too soon to tell though but I've been pleasantly surprised by how effective Fundamentals products are and so affordable!
Great exfoliator,moisturising good
It leaves my skin hydrated and with less breakouts also good when you incorporate to your scalp and armpits
This has been a game changer for my combination skin, I had a lot of white heads and over time they have significantly reduced. My hormonal breakouts heal faster now. Keep up the good work!!!
Wonderful product. It's gentle on my sensitive skin but very effective.
The Salicylic Acid is one of the most amazing products that I have used. So gentle but really effective. I have dealt with hormonal acne all my life and this is the only product that can combat that. I will not be using any other products from here on!!!
Minimized my breakouts, and my skin has started clearing up.
No new breakout since I started using about 8 days now. My skin tone is coming together I alternate it with 5% glycolic acid. So far I love what am seeing
Second purchase and no clogged pores meaning no unnecessary breakouts. Everyone needs a salicylic acid exfoliator.
Have been slowly introducing this exfoliator into my routine after previously using a Glycolic Acid toner. I am already seeing the difference! No sting and a noticeable decrease in clogged pores. With a great price for the amount of product, I will be repurchasing soon so I never run out!
The first salicylic acid exfoliator that doesn't burn or irritate my skin and leaves my skin feeling smooth after. Will most definitely continue using it
I have never used this before but ia m glad I did my skin is not shinning like it usually does n its getting smooth
Keeps my breakouts controlled and it has only been one week but i can tell my skin loves it and my pimples don't :D
The price and the quality of this is on point, I’m definitely buying this again. My face literally feels good.
Very good product
I love this product, probably the only one that does not last me 2 months because I use it in a cotton pad so I can be abit wasteful. It feels good on my skin and it causes no irritation.
Does it work? I don't know. I actually am hoping it does. I've been using this product for 14 days now. I've used it prior for 2 months and I didn't see an noticeable changes for me to want to reach for the product again. I honestly just moved on but I told myself what if I gave myself enough time to judge it accordingly before giving up this time around? So let's talk in 3/4 months time
Feels a bit oily but absorbs fast so the feeling isn't there for long, not to harsh on my skin. Love it !
This is a real game changer! Noticeable difference after a few uses, use at night and in the morning your skin is glowing!
This the most amazing product! Gentle, while still delivery the benefits of salicylic acid, it is an absolute saviour to my oily skin. And at R99 for 100ml, the price just cannot be beaten!
Once again, holy grail. I use this toner all over my body to control my KP and I have absolutely no more little annoying bumps on my arms and legs. I wish we could buy this in bigger bottles!
My breakouts were reduced after the 1st use. Honestly, this is an amazing product❤️.
This product has already made my skin less oily, after just 4 uses. Most whiteheads around my nose have disappeared. I'm so happy with fundamentals range. Thank you fundamentals.
This one is a gamechanger for oily skin, pores and general feel of my skin, this one is a must have for oily, acne prone skin
The Fundamentals team suggested this with the Niacinamide water serum to combat ingrown hair and its really helped - busy with my re-order now!
