Review: Essential Pharmacy 💊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Essential Pharmacy is a fantastic place for anyone in need of health and wellness products while in Singapore. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with recommendations or explain product options clearly.
What makes this pharmacy stand out is the wide range of essential items—from medications and supplements to skincare and personal care products. Everything is well-organized and reasonably priced, making shopping easy and convenient.
It’s especially helpful for travelers who might need over-the-counter remedies or trusted brands while abroad. I had a great experience and would definitely return again.
Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!

I can see why this is the highest rated pharmacy in the area. The customer service is unmatched. Staff show true compassion and caring. I am a sick traveller looking for some relief from my asthma as it unexpectedly played up during my travels. She went above and beyond to help me considering I was not going to be in Singapore long. Truly grateful for their care whilst I’m in my state of sickness.

I have been a long time customer of Iris who works at Essentials. She introduced me to cordyceps and pearl powder and they have been such great products. I introduced them to my friends and they are now love and purchase them too. I continue to purchase regularly from her and also occasionally try new products! Thanks Iris! 👍 …

Amazing 👍 service and extreme kindness of the people here in the shop. They took time to advice me very well. They even offered a trade in of my diabetes device to monitor blood sugar that was not compatible with the reading tablets in singapore. They offered me another system monitor for free in replacement of my old one. I just had to buy new local tablets.
XieXie 🙏 for your understanding and great support ❤️
