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!

Reviews
The packaging is appealing and informative and i found with this product a little goes a long way. It didnt leave my skin feeling tight and dry and it left my face feeling really clean and fresh. it smelt really nice and a nice hint of honey in the fragrance. Would definitely recommend.
I was very skeptical going in, as the smell really put me off. The best way I can describe it is if you left a carrot and a lemon in your fridge and went away on holiday then came back a month later and stuck your face in the fridge. Thankfully, once it has been washed off the smell goes away.
As for the bottle itself, the nozzle and pump kind of suck. The pump is too aggressive and if you’re not careful can miss your hand entirely (I have like three shirts and a bathmat splattered with this face wash) and the nozzle gets clogged every 3 or 4 days, leading to squirting aggressively in a completely unexpected direction! A toothpick does easily clean out the gummed up product, but it’s still a bit annoying when you don’t notice.
However, as the title says, I do in fact love this face wash, even with all of its packaging flaws. It is a very watery consistency, but it gently foams up very nicely. My face was incredibly soft and smooth after the very first use! It never left me feeling dry or stripped, my face was always soft, plump and clean.
I’ve been using this during a certain week where I expect to get a lot of pimples no matter what I do to my face. Before I tried the face wash I had 2 little ones and one big one that was coming up under the surface. Within a week, the little ones went away, the big one never came up and just went away, and I have had no other pimples. Apart from some post inflammation hyperpigmentation my face is the clearest it’s been in a long time.
It has a twist lock for travelling which I always appreciate and like I said earlier it’s impossible to just get a little bit from the violent pump. Only one or two pumps are necessary though, so it lasts a long time and is incredibly good for the price.
This is my new go to face wash. I will be finishing this bottle, and almost certainly repurchasing. I would also recommend it to all of my friends.
Tips: Cup your hand in front of the nozzle and be prepared for it to squirt violently! Also, have a toothpick to remove gummed up product every couple of days.
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!
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 am loving this cleanser so far. It is amazing to use as second step, after applying cleansing oil or balm. I like that it comes in pump bottle as it is the easiest way to use a product. The packaging is not luxurious but it's pretty and calming. The texture is yellowish and gel type. It has more citrus type smell which I don't like that much but it is not overpowering.
Small amount is enough and though it doesn't lather too much it foams enough. I like that it doesn't strip off the skin's natural oils and is non drying. My skin looks fresh and cleaned after using the product, I haven't had any irritations with it so far. I think it's a good cleanser and does great job.
The bottle in it self is a nice size and if you are travelling or going away not take up a lot of space. The top is a pump action and when I did get it it came with a little plastic thing which I took means to be the lock on the top, but it is not very secure and fell off. So the push pump will leak everywhere if you have not other way of securing it. The smells is amazing and nice and clean and just loved the honey smell. Smells nice and earthy.
The gel is of a nice consistency and a little goes a long way especially if you pump some in wet hands and cleans your face, I could see a difference in my blemishes, infected spots immediately and dried them out nicely. I have however stopped using it during the day as it dries my skin out and I hate the oily effect I get during the day.
I will put this away and give to my son when I see him next as I think it would be a good product for him to use
Tips: A little goes a long way Do not have a lock/close action so will be prone to leaking
Okay so first of all I have oily skin. But often face washes dry my skin out too much and leave no oil at all. This face wash is so gently and foams lightly and honestly kinda feels like a moisturiser. it leaves my face clean and smooth and feels so nice to run my hands over.
The fact that it has Aloe Vera in it is a huge bonus for its anti redness properties. I will 100% be buying this 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.
