WHAT PARENTS SAY

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!"

Tinki Malan, Johannesburg

"My daughter started using the products a week ago and is so happy. The delivery service was amazing and packaging is beautifully done. Definitely a team with a passion for what they do and believe in. Would recommend this to anyone."

Hildriëtte du Toit, Johannesburg

"After a long search for a product that worked for my teenager, I came across Upenya Cosmetics and have never looked back. A happy teenager and budget-friendly for mom. Even my primary school child has started using it. Best results ever!"
