Manuka Vantage New Zealand Manuka Oil Face Wash

I picked this little gem up in the vault. My skin can be all over the show and I get horrible breakouts when I least expect it. This product sounded like it could be suitable for me.

It comes in a small 120ml bottle with a pump, it comes out liquid then foams slightly when you apply it to your face. If you have an open pimple this will make it sting so be aware of that! The scent I would describe as herbal, it's not my favourite but it's not offensive.

When I first started using this it dried my face out a bit so you need to use a good moisturiser afterwards. I feel like I was using way too much product so I cut back a bit and my skin stopped drying out, a little bit definitely goes a long way.

It really clears up any breakouts quite fast, my skin felt clean and looked clear within a matter of days. I used this in conjunction with the blemish gel and feel like they work brilliantly together.

I have now run out of this and I would certainly buy more. Highly recommend to people with breakouts.

The cleanser was way better than I expected. I used it as the second cleanser in my double cleansing system and it really helped my skin! My first cleanser can be quite stripping on certain days but using this cleanser afterwards as the second wave of cleansing really helped put the oils back into my face. It allowed my face to not feel tight or dry, and felt so smooth and clean afterwards! When putting it on, it was easy to use and spread around (a little goes a long way). It was so smooth to rub around my face, almost buttery feeling, however, the scent was a bit too strong in my opinion. I got used to it but the first time the scent really hit me hard as I was not expecting it. The smell is quite nice but when you're cleaning around your nose, it becomes strong and almost overbearing. Overall I definitely recommend using the cleanser, I have seen a difference in my skin!

My son used the product as he has a lot of spots at the moment. He absolutely loved the product, used it twice daily and his skin cleared up considerably in the few days he's been using it.

Will definitely purchase again

I thought this was likely to be a mild acne treatment wash - maybe it was all that talk of manuka honey.

It is in fact quite an astringent product - which if you have super oily skin with angry spots, might just be what you need! I found for my t-zone this was really effective - the wash stripped away oil and left my t-zone grease free and mattified. But for lesser spots and my cheeks, the wash was a bit too harsh, so i'd say if you have breakouts and dry skin, you're going to want to go easy on the frequency and areas of use.

The range smells fresh and vibrant and I liked the functional, simple packaging. It's appealing to lads and lasses, my brother has been using it with great success on his pimple-y back.

If you have very oily skin and suffer from typical breakouts, I'd recommend this wash for sure.

Initially, I was a bit put off by the smell of the product. The aloe vera and Manuka honey make an interesting combination in terms of the scent and I found it quite overpowering. Despite this, over time, I found this face wash made an improvement to the appearance of my skin. The anti-inflammatory Manuka oil reduced the redness of my skin and this gentle wash made my pores appear smaller and my skin less oily. Overall I was very impressed, and if the price is right, I will continue to use this face wash.

The smell is quite bizarre but it feels lovely on the skin. Didn't feel drying but did bring out my spots and made me breakout for a few days. Cleared up after 3 days.

I like the packaging, it shouts “natural” with the green colour and the Manuka flower. The claims are quite visible on being 100% natural and 80+ Manuka pollen. It gets the sustainability tick as the packaging is recyclable and to top it all it’s made in NZ. The bottle is a pump and works like a wiz. The liquid is quite gentle on the skin and is very sweet smelling. Unlike washes with chemicals that leave the skin feeling dry, this wash leaves the skin feeling clean and soft. The wash feels very natural compared to other products with chemicals. I have a few spots and marks on my face. After using for a few days I can see some improvement. My face is looking brighter and there is slight reduction in the blemishes. I’m sure using it on a regular basis will make a difference to my skin. I will definitely be using it again.

My daughter reviewed this product as a junior reviewer aged 12. She found it to be gentle on the skin and really noticed an improvement in her blocked pores. The wash has minimal foaming affect however skin feels cleansed and refreshed. The scent is fresh and herbal. The pump delivery ensures that the perfect measured amount is administered. We have noticed an improvement in the healing ability of the skin, less redness and spots are not so angry. Looking forward to seeing how the skin looks in a few weeks, good results already after one week.

I got this as part of a duo. I actually love that it's only two parts. it makes it less likey that I would give up on using them being only two steps. The bottle is smaller than I expected. It has a clean green appearance which sort of sticks to the natural vibe that Manuka Vantage gives off.

Value for money is definitely there. The wash is clear and is thinner than expected to be honest. You only need one pump per wash which would mean it would last a good while. After reading the instructions I wet my face with warm water then pump one pump of the facial wash in to my hand. I rub them together to lather it up. It definitely creates those cleansing flubbles I love. Upon rubbing it all over my face the flubbles unfortunately disappeared almost immediately. That made me feel a bit ripped off and like I wasn't getting a proper clean. Regardless I soldierednon and washed the facial wash off.

After a week of using this facial wash I can safely say that it has definitely made a difference. My skin is clearer and feels alot softer and cleaner. My pores are unclogged and actually smaller in appearance. I'm a believer. Manuka honey has definitely gone up on my list of likes.

I really liked this! I was very light and refreshing to my skin. The scent is quite strong but not in a bad way, it smells very natural. My skin didn't feel super dry afterwards and I also loved the idea of not only using a more natural product but also an NZ brand! I will be contining to use this for the next wee while!
