Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash Review

I really enjoyed trialling this product, it smells great and over a long period of use did not make my sensitive skin react. I really like the packaging of the product which looks really elegant and natural and the fact that the product is 99% natural, made in New Zealand and utilises manuka honey. My skin feels very clean and fresh after using this product in the shower and the foaming pump bottle is very handy. I also like how the product is not tested on animals. Its a great product to use before the wild ferns purifying toner and also removes light make up.

My review is for the Wild ferns Manuka Honey foaming cleanser. I really love this cleanser. I have oily skin and I find it doesn't strip my skin. A half of pump is all you need, apply morning and night, rub in for 30seconds before rinsing. The smell is strong but I love the smell. I will definitely be purchasing this again when I run out. I have been using for 4 weeks now and still have 3/4 of the bottle left.

I am very pleased with the results of this cleanser. It has a lovely bottle with a push dispenser that makes it a foam and the fragrance is absolutely amazing. I love honey and look forward to using it in the morning just for the smell. I have found after 2 weeks of using this (the regime) that my skin is so much clearer and translucent. It seems to clean my skin so well. I am also very pleased with how easy it washes off. Makes it a breeze in the mornings. I am in love this and this range and it will definitely be my only morning skincare routine.

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.

The Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Gentle Facial Cleanser smells absolutely amazing - like real manuka honey! It's a very foamy cleanser rather than one of a lot of substance which means it doesn't entirely remove my stubborn waterproof mascara. But being natural my skin loves it and feels super soft after cleansing.

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.

1. PACKAGING: Product is packaged well inside a box that features clear print and an effective design. The Product itself is in a heavy duty plastic bottle with a good size pump and clear lid. The bottle is clear so you can see the product inside and the print on the bottle is clear and easy to read.

2. The Product: Contains a lot of beneficial ingredients, the main being pure New Zealand Manuka Honey. It has a refreshing fragrance which may not be something everyone will like as it can be strong when you first start using this product. I was never one to go for strong fragrant items but the more I used this the more I got use to it.

3. HOW I USE IT: Every morning I would use this the cleanse my face, I would massage warm water onto my face and neck, I would then apply 1 full pump of the cleanser to my fingertips and start to massage the product onto my face and neck (making sure to avoid contact with my eyes). After a couple a minutes of massaging the cleanser into my skin I then use warm water to rinse the cleanser off. I then repeat this step in the evenings before bed. If I wear a full face of makeup I would go in with the cleanser after using a makeup remover wipe.

4. MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Even though I found the fragrance to be strong when I first started using this cleanser, I found the more I used it the more I got use to it. After a week I started to notice my skin felt more nourished and appeared to have a more youthful glow (which is amazing compared I am in the mid 30s #WINNING). I suffered from dry patches and uneven skintone as well as hormonal breakouts. I think using this cleanser in conjunction with the toner and moisturiser has really improved my skins texture and appearance. Of course its helped with drinking 2 litres of water a day but since using WILD FERNS products I feel and notice a huge difference. Definitely worth investing in this skincare.

Overall Ranking: 8/10

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.

While this cleanser smelt nice, and probably did a good job of cleansing my skin, it also stripped it of any moisture I had. I was quite disappointed to come up with dry patches as I had hoped that the avocado oil and honey would have made my skin soft and hydrated.

Overall, not the greatest cleanser for me, but I think it would suit someone with oily/combination skin.
