Wild Ferns Radiance Renewal Facial Serum Review

Cloudier than my previous serums have been, however a small amount easily covered my face and absorbed well.

The dropper was a little odd, but still distributed the right amount. The dropper picks up just enough product, so no worries about having too much product to massage in. This feature did take a bit of getting used to.

Definite honey smell, so if you don't like the smell of honey - don't get this serum.

Absorbs well and I don't need to apply any further night cream due to my oily/combination skin.

This product was in the vault recently and I have a love for serums so I knew I had to get my mostly clean hands on it. The yellow enticed me and I loved the idea of the honey in it. It arrived in a very timely fashion, maybe 3 days after the vault itself, and I couldn't wait to wash my face and test this out.

The box is quite attractive to the eye, on the front is honey being poured down from flowers, and the flower theme continues around the box, as does the gorgeous golden honey color. All of the information is on the box as well, so I kept it!

The bottle itself is a golden honey color as well, with a white dropper top. A glass pipette is snugly inside, surrounded by the creamy white serum. The serum is quite runny, but also it feels quite thick. On the face it sort of melts and becomes a bit sticky as you rub it in, but it fades quickly and you can definitely tell when it's rubbed in. It does sit on my skin funny though, and my skin still feels a bit sticky, like I have rubbed honey on my face.

The smell is very much like honey, but I also pick up a bit of a floral scent as well. I like the smell but then sometimes I find it a bit off putting and then I don't like it. I am uncertain if I like this product, I know I wouldn't repurchase it. I haven't seen it do anything for my skin, other than make it slightly more sticky than normal.

I do think there is a design flaw with this bottle, everything is perfect except the pipette. It's too big for the hole. Product sticks on the outside of the pipette and when you try to put it back in, it's like playing operation, because if you touch those sides the product will go over the lip and down the side of the bottle. I also think this type of serum is too heavy for a pipette and would be better in a small pump bottle.

I bought this at my local pharmacy because it was on sale. I wasn't sure about what it was meant to do for my skin as it just says radiance renewal but anything with honey in it is usually great for skin so i bought it. I've used it a few times at night (because the scent is strong) and it feels so nice when i put it on my skin and i think my skin feels better the next day but i cant really tell a difference in the way it looks. I also found the dropper was a bit useless but unsure if i have a dud or if it is bad. Im unsure if i would buy this again i think there are probably better serums out there but its not awful.

I was lucky enough to get this serum from the beauty vault some time ago.

Firstly, I love yellow, so the attractive yellow box had my attention immediately. And I haven’t tried any Wild Ferns products, so my mind was open to that too.

The product comes in a dropper bottle that is 30mls, and quite big for a bottle of serum. The dropper is quite big and doesn’t pick up as much product as I like to use in one go. That’s not a deal breaker though.

I can’t really detect much scent in the product, which is quite thick and cloudy looking.

I’ve just finished using an excellent serum, so this one had a bit to live up to. It didn’t quite make the mark, but then, it is only half the price! It feels pretty average on application, but it certainly does reduce dryness. It is soft and absorbs quickly into my skin. While I don’t have particularly sensitive skin myself, I have to say it feels like it wouldn’t irritate my skin if it was sensitive.

I like the look of all the fabulous ingredients – vitamins A, C and E, with a blend of lovely oils.

The price is very reasonable at $23.60 for a good facial serum, so I would recommend it to others to try, especially if you like honey based products.

I’m not sure if I’ll buy it again, but I’m certainly happy that I had the chance to try it.

I have such dry skin and being winter it is even worse. I decided to give this a go and boy i'm stoked I did. It feels so lovely on my skin, I use 1 pump for my face and it rubs in nicely, does not leave a sticky feeling at all, makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. It cleared up my flakey skin after just 3 uses! I use it at night only and wake up with great skin. The smell I love and the price was only $13 on trade me. The only issue I have is the pump, it makes the serum over shoot my hand sometimes which is annoying. Apart from that it is fantastic and I highly recommend for anyone with dry skin.

I was lucky enough to get this product in one of the beauty vaults a long time ago. I'm one of those skincare and makeup hoarders so it can take me ages to get around to using something! I have recently finished up this bottle so thought I better get on to reviewing it!

I'll start with packaging. I think this looks nice and sleek with a clear yellow glass bottle. It's good to be able to see how much product you have left. It has a eye dropper style of application. This works well for oils but I find this product is just a bit too thick and it was sometimes hard to get enough product. For about the last third of the bottle, it was pretty much impossible to use the dropper so I had to shake some out and would invariably get too much out so it was wasteful too.

The actual product smells incredible, it has a really nice light scent of fresh honey. The texture is slightly thick but also easily spreadable and a little goes a long way. I did find it felt slightly sticky on my face but it dried down quite quickly.

I used this product three times a week for about 3 or 4 months that the bottle lasted. I honestly noticed no change in my skin. I'm 31 with slight eye wrinkles and very dry skin. I didn't see any brightness, change of texture or just any general small change. I was quite dissapointed as I have used this brands night cream and really enjoyed that product.

I wouldn't purchase this with my own money and I can't recommend this either. Super sad because it's a NZ product and filled with so many good ingredients!

I picked this up in the Vault quite sometime ago and have only just come to the end of it. I like to mix my skincare up and use products according to my skin's need at the time. Wild Ferns is a brand I tend to associate with airports and souvenir shops so I haven't actually tried anything by them before.

After ordering from the Vault, this promptly arrived in a cheery yellow box. The serum itself is in 30ml honey yellow bottle with a dropper. The thickness of the serum means it is actually quite difficult to dispense the right amount (no suggestions as to how much this is on the box or bottle though). It takes a few goes to get out enough to adequately cover my face. By the time I got near to the end of the bottle I just stored it upside down then used the dropper to scrape the serum out.

This smells lovely! Not just of honey but there is also a floral hint too it so you wouldn't really mistake it for the honey you put on your toast! It doesn't look like honey either but it is sticky when applied. Once it dries down though, I feel a slight lifting effect on my skin which then feels smooth but you can tell it has a product sitting on it. It definitely needs a moisturiser over top of it. I found it sits well under BB cream.

I didn't use this frequently enough to see any long term effects but it was pleasant enough to use. I probably wouldn't use this again mainly because there's too many other products I want to try first!

I was sent the wild ferns manuka honey purifying toner not the Wild ferns radiance renewal facial serium to review so I am reviewing the purifying toner here. I loved using this product, the packing is exquisite, the product smells great and also works great. I have sensitive skin and it did not react to the product. I also like that if my face was looking greasy applying the purifying toner took away the greasy look and was a great base for applying the moisturiser with sunscreen. I also like that the product is 93% natural, is New Zealand made and is paraben free/ not tested on animals. It also has a handy spray bottle so the product is easy to apply.

I came across this product, I must admit I usually don't buy any "manuka honey" products just because my skin sometimes doesn't like it every now and then.

I had no other serum to put and I thought I'd give this a go. a full go. and I feel like I got 100% out of it.

The serum is very sticky when it's first applied to your face - it smells nice but I personally didn't like the stickiness on my face as I couldn't do blow dry straight after I applied this serum.

If you are a patter (who will continuously pat until the product is sinked into the skin), this is the one for you. If you prefer to apply at one swipe and expect the product to sink in, this is not recommended for you.

I noticed that my skin did get a lot clearer and "radiance" (got brighter tones) after a bottle. I'm a cosmetic nomad and I still have heaps of my to-try list but I think I will come back to this serum when I skin gets too 'yellow-ish' later.

I got this serum in a Best Beauty Box Ever pack (my current obsession, these boxes are amazing!).

This serum is true to its word in that it is very lightweight. I use a lot of serums, mainly oil based ones and it was quite a nice change to have a serum that didn't feel so heavy on my skin. It feels like it is working to lift my skin (I can feel a tightening) when I put it on, which is always a good sign!

My biggest problem with this serum though, and the reason why I won't buy it again, is that it is very very perfumed. The smell is very strong and I personally don't like this.
