Manuka Vantage Blemish Regime

Very good products, really effective when used together, reducing spots overnight and leaving my face feeling soft and clean. Nice fragrance with a hint of honey and very informative packaging, using almost 100% natural products. They work very well together and would recommend if you have a break out that needs to be cleared up relatively quickly as the manuka has healing a and anti bacterial properties in it.

My daughter tried this combo as a junior reviewer. The experience and outcome has been very beneficial. We have tried many products to help control acne with varying success in the last year and after a short period of use there is a good improvement in skin appearance, tone and less oil production.

On using the regime we found that the skin has settled down, less redness and overall less infectious pustules. Bacteria seems under control. Skin is looking more even, dryness has subsided, less sheen in the T Zone.

The facial wash is light with mild foam. Skin feels clean after use but not tight. The blemish gel is very herbal smelling, almost smells medical. The blemish gel is a little stingy on broken skin on first application however settles down and feels cooling and soothing after a few minutes.

We are very happy with the results of this regime combination and look forward to continuing to the end of the bottles. Would love to see a light moisturizer, facial mask and scrub added to the range.

First impressions- The smell can be a bit confusing as it's both medical and honey combined but it's not offensive. Results- It definitely made my skin break out a bit but I think it was drawing it out of my skin. It cleared up after 3 days.

I really enjoy using this combo of products together . I find the face wash foams well and removes any makeup, I also use it with my Foreo for a deep clean. Following up with the blemish gel after washing. Almost instantly I noticed a reduction in irritation and within 1-2 days I noticed my skin was looking much calmer. 10 days on my skin is almost perfectly clear with a few little imperfections which are manageable. A definite improvement

I was a big fan of the cleanser, but not quite as convinced with the blemish gel but I will continue using it to see how it goes. Altogether, it seems like a good natural option if you’re trying to reduce harsh chemicals on your skin.

This was a mixed bag for me. While I really liked the cleanser, I found that the oil didn't really help heaps with my breakouts. The scent of these products is quite strong, so I would suggest that if you are interested, pop into a store that stocks the brand so that you can smell the scent - it won't be for everyone! Otherwise, if you are wanting to try a NZ brand wth the wonderful benefits of Manuka honey, you really should give this brand a go (and the price point is fantastic!)

I like the packaging, it shouts “natural” with the green colour and the Manuka flower. The claims are quite visible on both, 100% natural on the wash and 98% on the gel and 80+ Manuka pollen. It gets the sustainability tick as the packaging is recyclable and to top it all it’s made in NZ. Both the bottles are pumps and work like a wiz. The wash 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. The gel is quite gentle on the skin and is very sweet smelling. It’s not sticky and easy to apply, very natural compared to products with chemicals in them. The skin feels quite healthy and soft after use. I have a few spots and marks on my face. After using both the wash and the gel 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 on a regular basis will make a difference to my skin. I will definitely be using them again.

As a set this is my favorite set ever so far, I have shared this with my mum she likes it nearly as much as I do. I will update with pictures of my face when I have used the products for longer than a week, so the results can be seen better. I have to say the smell of the face wash is yum , but the Blemish Gel smells amazing.

The facial wash and blemish gel both come in convenient pump bottles which makes it nice and easy to get the right amount out each time. The facial wash has a nice consistency and feels really good on your skin and afterwards your skin feels refreshed and clean. Unfortunately though I really didn’t like the smell of it. The blemish gel glides onto your skin and afterwards your skin feels silky smooth as soon as it has absorbed and it also has a lovely citrus smell. I really like these 2 products (apart from the smell of the facial wash) and definitely found that they helped to control my skin’s oil levels.

I tested the Manuka honey face wash and blemish gel by NZ skincare brand Manuka Vantage, for over a week.

I have very oily skin and it's the bane of my life. So when this opportunity popped up to try a product regime that was supposed to absorb excess oils, I jumped at the chance!

I love that these products are 98% natural and made right here in NZ using our own precious Manuka honey.

I used the face wash and blemish gel twice a day, for a little over a week, but unfortunately I did not notice any improvements to my skin. The face wash cleansed my skin well and removed my makeup, but the blemish gel smelt very strong and stung my eyes and skin at first. I put the gel over my whole T zone and forehead as that is where I produce the most oil, and still by the end of the day I feel slimy and look very shiny.

Overall this regime didn't benefit me, but it was easy to use and the packaging was nice. It may be better suited to someone with dry and pimple prone skin, but not sensitive as the blemish gel is quite astringent.
