What parents are saying...

Vicky Lombard, Tzaneen

"I can't express the difference Upenya has made in our lives. After a year of facials and products with little to no results, my daughter started using Upenya. On day 1, we could see a change occurring, and the results after a week were unbelievable. We have a different child with so much more confidence - I would recommend this to anyone!"

Marga Smith, Tzaneen

"After using Upenya skin care products for nearly a year now, my teenage daughter's skin looks truly amazing. Her facial skin glows with health and always seems clear and well cared for. She loves the products!"

Adele Els, Johannesburg

"There is not a better product on the market for teenage skin!! And it comes at a good price and fantastic after sale service. Thank you!"

Marna Strydom, Johannesburg

"We have been searching a long time for good skin products for my two teenage daughters. At last, Upenya is the answer! It is gentle, no harsh chemicals and both their skins look and feel so wonderful! I recommend this product to everyone!
Thank you, Upenya!

Santi Blom, Langebaan

"Thank you for easy 3 step products that works and shows results. Amazing, love it."

Anneline Dreyer, Gqeberha

"I have tried and tested several other products for my 15 year old son, he has severe acne and inflammation on his face. We have tried the most expensive brands and some of the cheaper ones, home remedies, ointments etc etc. Upenya is by far the best product yet, there is a remarkable definite improvement in just ONE week. I cannot recommend this product enough, so super impressed and will DEFINITELY be repurchashing. This is an absolute game changer. Upenya is affordable, easy to use, gentle enough on teenage skin and most importantly IT WORKS! I have also had the most amazing customer service from them. 5 Stars are not enough!!!"
