Squeaky Clean

I was lucky enough to win a selection of products from the Manuka Honey range and this product was one of them. I love a foaming cleanser because my skin feels really clean afterwards and this was no exception. I’ve used this morning and night for close to a week and while it definitely cleans well the smell is quite off putting. I think it’s supposed to smell like honey but it just smells artificial. I have oily skin and this cleanser did work well on my skin type and dispensed just the right amount of foam to wash my face but because of the smell I just haven’t enjoyed using it unfortunately. I’ve given the remainder to my daughter and although she doesn’t like the fragrance she is enjoying the product. This is something I wouldn’t consider buying in the future but if you don’t mind the scent then you might like it.

Wild Ferns Pure New Zealand Refreshing Facial Wash

I enjoyed being on the trial team for this facial wash. I thought the packaging it came in was gorgeous and simple. I liked the gold embossed font and the honey details on the front of the small box. I loved that it was made right here in New Zealand too. The packaging was easy to open. I could see the bottle inside the box when I opened it.

I found the directions on how to use this facial wash were easy to follow and it was simple to do. I used this as part of my morning and night routine to remove my make up well over a week or two and it kept my skin feeling refreshed.

The sweet orange oil gave it a lovely scent which I found quite revitalising and it was a nice smell. I only needed a couple of little pumps of the wash. It foamed up when I squeezed it out of the bottle pump. It was easy to apply to my face and rinsed off with ease. After drying my face, after applying the facial wash, my skin felt clean and fresh. My skin is quite sensitive and this didn't seem to irritate my skin which was great.

I used this along with the same brand of purifying toner and moistuiser. Out of all of the products, this was probably my favourite. I most likely wouldn't buy this facial wash from a store or through their site but I would most likely give my friends and family good feedback about this facial wash as I found it to be pretty good for my skin.

Tips: A few squeezes of the pump is plenty. The foam comes out quite fast.

Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash

First off the packaging and presentation of this range is bright and pretty. Never used a cleanser that smelt so sweet it was a bit overpowering but welcomed. One pump is almost more than enough but it foam feels nice as you're applying it. I wouldn't necessarily say it left my combination skin feeling refreshing and detoxified but my skin did seem to be bright and glow-y after cleansing. Overall after using it for over a week I can confidently say it is not one of my favourites but feel it would be good to use doing winter because the skin can get so dry and this would help rejuvenate it.

Miss 12 review

The fragrance was not my most favorite but it foamed up like you would have expected from a wash. It tended to pull the dirt off the skin well and made it easier to remove the excess dirt and oil. After using the product my skin felt clean and smooth.

Tips: Ensure the diet is appropriate when using the product as may effect results

Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash

I have to admit that I tend to write off anything that comes from souvenir shops as a bit too pricey so really grateful that I got to trial this range. The packaging is cute. I like it and think it looks quite nice. I like that it uses the natural healing properties of Manuka honey and incorporates that into the formula. This cleanser/face wash comes with a foam pump which is nice, means that you don't inadvertently use lots. I used a couple of pumps and was quite happy with the amount I got. I didn't like the scent. It was way too strong for me, smelt a little bit like honey and overly sweet. This put me off, didn't like putting it on my face! The scent did dissipate over time and was okay. Ultimately - my face felt nice and clean afterwards so it did a good job. I will use it again but I feel for almost $20 there are better options out there. I don't like the smell and ultimately I feel like that put me off right from the start.

Tips: A couple of pumps will do the trick!

Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash

Pretty happy to receive this pretty yellow products just before xmas. Nice yellow box representing the honey colour. I think that the packaging is additional non essential item just adding to waste. Would rather prefer the bottles printed with the essential info.

Easy to handle size bottle with a cap (that I somehow manage to loose in the shower) It has a pump action top that distributes a foamy liquid into your hand - I found that I needed two pumps of the product to wash my face and neck. It has a distinctive honey, orange smell that smelled pretty fake. I am not a fan. The face wash did not remove makeup unfortunately and I had to "clean" up my face with another product after.

I did like the size of the product that I could easily slip into my overnight/travel bag when we left on holiday.

Unfortunately this product is not for me - I did however see them in "curious shops" up north that is definitely aimed at tourist at about $25.

Tips: Double pump of the face wash will cover your face and neck

Decent facial wash!

I enjoyed this product.

I have dry skin so I did find it was better to use this every few days rather than everyday. I used one pump and it was enough to clean my whole face. Moisturiser afterwards is usually a must for me because it can leave my skin feeling a bit tight.

The smell is pleasant enough and doesn't linger on the face anyway if you find it a bit strong. The packaging feels relatively luxurious for being plastic.

While I will use this product up, cleanser isn't a product I'm that picky about because its only on the skin very briefly and then down the drain.

I think this product would best suit someone with oily skin who doesn't mind a fairly scented product and is looking to support a made in New Zealand brand.

Tips: Might be best to use every few days rather than everyday for dry-skinned gals.

Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash

I got this sent by the lovely team at beauty review. It comes in a nice little box. I love that it is a foam based wash in a pump bottle. So easy to use ! It smells divine and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh . I love how my skin feels after I use it. Only thing I would say is that it unfortunately doesn't do much for my post delivery peeling skin. But other than that it's a great little find ! Would definitely use it once I get my peeling skin under control.

Not for my skin type

I have combination/oily skin and I normally prefer cream cleansers over foam cleansers. However, I do like a few things from the range so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something else from their range. First off, I love the smell of the range. It’s sweet but not too over powering. The actually foam cleanser feels good in my skin and wasn’t drying which I liked. Foam cleansers, even with my oily skin, tend to dry me out. However, when I used the toner, I noticed their was still a lot of dirt on my skin. I had to use 3 cotton rounds to remove the excess dirt left in my skin, which tells me the cleanser was not effective. In saying that, it’s not a terrible regime, it just didn’t suit me. I feel like this is more suited for normal to dry skin types. I need something a bit more deep cleansing for my skin type.

Manuka Honey Facial Wash

I don't usually use facial washes in my skincare regime but this product might become an addition to it. The scent is slightly sweet (almost the same as the moisturiser) but that does not bother me too much. What I liked most about this product is that I could feel a difference in how clean my face was after using it. Especially after wearing makeup all day, this got rid of any remaining makeup that a makeup wipe wouldn't remove.

The only negative I have about this product is that my skin kind of feels a bit more dry than usual as soon as I wash it off but a good moisturiser fixes that with no problem.

I also don't like adding a lot of new products to my face because sometimes less is more when it comes to skincare but I find that by using this product a few times a week it just gives that clean feeling to my face.

Overall I would definitely continue using this product however not on a daily basis.
