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

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.

Not For Dry Skin

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.

Divine smelling foaming facial cleanser

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.

Tips: I use it in the shower twice a day and find about 1.5 pumps does the job nicely.

@Violet27 Yes, I noticed that too. I just put a note in my review saying it's for a different product.

lovely cleanser

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.

Tips: make sure your face is wet before applying.

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!

WILD FERNS Manuka Honey Gentle Facial Cleanser

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

Tips: Use Morning and Night, massage gently into your skin, avoiding any contact with your eyes.

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

Wild Ferns Manuka Honey refreshing facial wash

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.

Tips: I felt the need when using the product to use two pumps but this uses the product quite quickly and one pump is plenty :-)

Pretty but overly scented

This comes in a pretty box and the pump container while plastic looks smart. It is a good size to hold if you cleanse in the shower and the pump works smoothly.

The cleanser is a pale yellow liquid that foams when it dispenses. One small pump is plenty to cleanse your face and neck so it will last ages. It left my skin feeling fresh and clean.

The downside is the scent, a very sweet honey, orange smell that I found really unpleasant, just too strong and sweet. Also, while the product says it is for all skin types I found for my dry and slightly sensitive skin it was just too drying and my skin would feel really tight after using it.

While it is a good price, works well and looks pretty it just does not work on my skin.

Tips: A good natural foaming cleanser but highly scented and possibly too harsh for very dry skin
