Manuka Vantage New Zealand Manuka Oil Blemish Gel

Absolutely blowen away how well the manuka oil blemish gel works.

Myself and daughter have both been using it. I also love the size of the bottle 40ml perfect for taking in your handbag for when needed during the day aswel. I had taken the gel with me currently while i was away on a school camp. Perfect size for traveling. And a epic hit with the young teens on camp aswel. (Life saver even)

Thickish kinda gel but once dotted on warmed up it thins out. And its not to strong of a smell. Although the younger ones wanted something more pretty smelling they were so happy once they seen how well it worked.

The blemish gel definitely helped decrease redness and soreness. I myself have noticed less blackheads on my nose area.

I picked this up from the Beauty Vault, thanks BR!  It comes in a cute 40ml bottle with a pump which I love. For best results it says to use with the matching cleanser and apply to affected areas.

A little bit definitely goes a long way with this, you only need half a pump. It is a gel consistency, I apply it directly to any spots. Sometimes I get a bit of a tingle but it doesn't irritate my skin at all. It smells quite strong, very medicinal. If you are sensitive to smells you may not like it.

I like to use this at night and it significantly reduces any spots and calms the redness down. I have dry skin and it doesn't make it flaky at all. I love that it has more natural ingredients but still packs a punch. I definitely recommend this if you are suffering from breakouts especially when using with the matching cleanser.  A great blemish gel!

My daughter reviewed this product as a junior reviewer aged 12 with plenty of spots. She enjoyed using this product. The texture is nice and light like a gel. The feeling is cool on application to the skin, a little stingy on open skin but overall feels soothing on the skin that is healing. After one week of use we feel confident there is less bacteria and the acne infection is getting under control. Overall the acid mantel is looking better, dry areas are looking hydrated and less spots in general. Skin tone is looking more even and less inflamed. Redness is reduced. Fragrance is herbal and organic. Looking forward to see if other products in this range become available. Thanks for the opportunity to try, this has been a positive experience and my daughter is feeling confident with the outcome, skin has improved already after a short time period.

I thought this was likely to be a mild acne treatment - maybe it was all that talk of manuka honey.

It is in fact quite astringent and does have a tendancy to be a little drying - 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 blemish gel dried up active white heads within hours. But for lesser spots and my cheeks, it was a bit too harsh, so i'd say if you have breakouts and dry skin, you're going to want to go easy using this.

There was the occasional sting when using this, but nothing worse than using tea tree oil, and I feel this was more effective than tea tree, particularly for weepy spots. Within days the spots I tackled where healing well and there was minimal redness, which i'm guessing is the manuka honey doing it's thing.

The range smells fresh and vibrant and I liked the functional, simple packaing.

If you have very oily skin and suffer from typical breakouts, I'd recommend these products for sure.

I used this on my blemishes on my shoulders, neck, and chest. I did this because I personally have sensitive skin and my face does not do well with Rosehip. However, from using this blemish treatment on my acne on my shoulders etc, I could visibly see a difference. The spots were less inflamed and it even evened out the skin tone and made it less blotchy. It had a nice fragrance, not too strong and the feeling of it was really nice to rub on. Yet again, a little goes a long way, so don't pump out too much. I recommend this to anyone with acne spots anywhere! It really helped my skin out. It didn't take away the acne but made them look less angry and red!

Like the face wash, this blemish gel has quite an overpowering scent, which may be offputting to some people. Murphy's Law I didn't have any major blemishes during this trial. I did use the gel on a couple of minor spots, and I noticed that the gel dried them up and probably speeded up the healing process. I would be keen to continue using this gel and seeing what it does for major breakouts. If the price is right, I will continue to use it in the future in conjunction with the face wash.

First of all, to preface my opinions, I didn’t have any major breakouts during the week I trialled this so it’s difficult to give clear feedback since I couldn’t test it on a major breakout. I like that it’s natural and it was easy to use. I liked the consistency and it felt good to apply. In regards to effectiveness, I can’t really comment. Next time I have a breakout I will know for sure how much it works in comparison to more chemically-based products!

This was great! It cleared up my breakouts in about 2 days. I would just use on the breakouts as it was a bit drying to the rest of my skin.

I like the packaging, it shouts “natural” with the green colour and the Manuka flower. The claims are quite visible on being 98% natural and 80+ Manuka pollen. It gets the sustainability tick as the packaging is recyclable and to top it all it’s made in NZ. The bottle is a pump and works like a wiz. 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 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 it on a regular basis will make a difference to my skin. I will definitely be using it again.
