Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Purifying Toner Review

I havn't used a toner in years so I was was excited to review this product and see if it actually makes a difference to my skin.

The first thing I noticed is that it comes is a spray bottle which made it so much easier to use and apply. I also noticed that it has a very subtle scent so people who a sensitive to scents may not have a problem using this product.

I sprayed a decent amount onto a cotton pad and wiped my entire face with it and even though I had cleansed before that, the toner removed even more dirt and left my skin feeling refreshed, clean and smooth. The refreshing feeling definitely helped me stay cool this summer.

I would definitely recommend this product to someone looking for a good toner thats affordable but also good quality.

​First impression: What I noticed was the strong smell. It’s quite a strong scent, but thankfully it does fade. It’s not a horrible smell, but it’s not the most pleasant. I love how it’s in a spray bottle and it dispenses quite evenly so you don’t need to spray a lot on your face (even though I do, heh). It does suggest to spray onto a cotton pad and wipe that onto your face, but I only ever do that with exfoliating toners and either spray or pat it straight onto my face. I usually spray about 5-9 sprays so I'm quite generous with the application.

Review: Out of the three products from the skincare regime, the toner would hands down be my favourite. It did not break me out or irritate my skin, and all the products I put on afterward sunk in so well and didn’t react negatively. After awhile I even got used to the smell which actually became quite refreshing. I believe my skin became smoother and supple, and I just love how well my skin lapped this up! I also believe that it has helped minimise the redness and PIE on my face which is one of my major skin concerns - I think this is due to the wonderful combination of the aloe vera, witch hazel, and of course, manuka honey.

To conclude, I highly recommend this product. I think it is an excellent hydrating toner. It's refreshing and helps other skincare products sink into your skin. No negative reactions whatsoever, plus also minimises redness and healing your blemishes! Highly impressed with this product.

I tried using this range with the toner for 2 weeks and then without the toner for 2 weeks, and I found no difference in my skin with the toner vs without.

When I was using the toner, I found it to be a real nuisance to use. It says to use cotton wool to apply it, so I tried using cotton pads at first but something in the formula seemed to completely disintegrate the pads so that as I swiped the product on I'd end up depositing big lumps of cotton all over my face.

I switched to spraying 1.5 spritzes straight into the palm of my hand, rubbing my hands together, and applying directly to my face which seemed to get a good, even coverage. The finish once it's applied is really sticky and tight - it just doesn't feel very nice at all until you apply a moisturiser.

The scent was a bit overpowering, although not as bad as the face wash - if I liked the toner, the scent wouldn't have been enough to put me off and I'm not a big fan of scents near my face. The packaging was nice and felt fairly sturdy, although I wish they'd packaged it more like the face wash which was very lovely looking.

The most annoying feature of the toner, though, was how much of a pain it made moisturising. It seemed to create a barrier on my skin that made moisturisers sink in much, much more slowly. Even with a normal moisturiser that was a bit of a pain, but with their moisturiser which was already fairly sticky and smeary it made it nigh on impossible to smooth into my skin. I had to pat it in instead to make it settle in nicely.

I loved this product!

The packaging was lovely with a great mist spray which delivers a decent amount of product. I used by spraying on to a cotton pad and wiping my skin. It also has a sturdy lid which I like for travel. It is pretty with the clear plastic and yellow liquid.

The scent is refreshing, not quite as 'orangey' as the facial wash, I felt you could smell the honey in this one.

For the trial I used this in conjunction with the facial wash and I was amazed at how much dirt it removed from my skin after using the wash, it was incredibly satisfying! I also used this alone on really hot days and it was a wonderful way to refresh my skin mid day! I decided to test it with my regular facial wash as well and again it removed a good amount of left over dirt (although not as much as with the Manuka Honey Facial Wash). My only slight and picky observation is that it does leave a slight residue on the skin, this did not bother me and is pretty typical of toners but worth a mention if you hate that.

I highly recommend this product, I have used a lot of toners and this is my new favorite. My skin looks refreshed and glowy after using and I certainly noticed a difference in pore size on my checks after using for a few weeks. LOVE IT!

I got the trial for this toner and very thank you for beauty review. This toner is something new for my skincare routine because mostly I use alcohol free toner.

Wild fern Manuka honey toner bottle is same standard spray bottle. I 100% agreed with that what ever this toner says. It does remover makeup residue and skin feel hydrate too. This toner has alcohol in it however it is quite hydrating. Surprise for me because I mostly use alcohol free toner.

I would repurchase this toner because I mostly focus on good makeup remover. I do double cleansing method. But good stuff for good price.

Coming in a pretty but practical honey-yellow bottle with a spray top this toner is intended to be sprayed onto cotton wool for use. It has the same smell as the rest of the range which may be too strong for some people - I found the cleanser overwhelming but this and the moisturiser were ok.

I am not a toner person, either they do nothing or upset my skin. This one is quite refreshing but ultimately was too drying for my skin, even if I only used it once a day. Like all the other products in this range while it says all skin types, if you have dry or sensitive skin it probably isn't for you

A watery toner that comes in a spray bottle, but instructions state to apply with a cotton ball. Alcohol free and does not irritate my skin, but has a strong, perfumey honey scent. Leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated. Tested around pH 5-6 which is ideal. Despite coming in a spray bottle, I would not recommend spraying it directly on your face, because if it gets on your lips it is horrendously bitter! I don't see the point of this packaging - a simple screw top bottle would be more practical and less wasteful. Might finish the bottle but would not repurchase.

Firstly, I'd just like to point out I'm not a huge fan of toner. I have very rarely used it. I have dry skin and often toners leave me feeling even dryer, unfortunately, this was no exception. I thought maybe the honey would have some great moisturising effects, but in the end it just made me feel worse so I had to give it away. Please don't let my review put you off, as my friend with normal skin used and loved this product, it just didn't gel with my skin type.

I loved that this was in a spray bottle!! It makes it so much easier to use and less wastage than having to tip the toner on a cotton pad and wipe onto the face. It works well with the Moisturiser and i will definitely continue to use this up
