Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash Review

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.

I got the trial for such beautiful brand and nz made skin care cleanser.I was lucky for that. I knew this brand for long time and I did try their eye cream, and was my first eye cream.

Let me tell you about my skin type. I have dyharated, normal to combination skin. After cleansing around my mouth and around nose I do get dry but after couple of hours, it's get oil. I couldn't understand my skin type.

Because of my skin type foam cleanser never ever works for me so I always use cream cleanser. I love the packaging very classic and simple. I found fragrance very strong at first time but after you get to use to it. Cleanser makes my skin worst. Every time I use my skin get more and more dry and after using constant 3 day, have to stop using it because my skin became more irritate.

One pump is enough for entire face and neck. Brand say it's refreshing cleanser I agree with that but it's also say this cleanser has some good ingredients for nourishing skin but personally I didn't find anything like that.

I think this very good cleanser for very very oil skin type. Not for normal to dry skin type.

This product was just OK for me, mainly due to personal preference I believe.

The packaging was lovely, it looked pretty but simple which is what I like. The foam pump worked really well and created a nice foam and I also love a quality lidded product for travel which this handled well.

The scent was lovely (I like scented products!) It smelled mainly of orange but not to sweet.

The foam was as stated, quite luxurious. It felt lovely going on. After all I've said you'll be wondering why I didn't score this product higher... it just didn't leave me with the clean feeling I like. Now I'm not after a tight, I've stripped my skin feel, but I do like to feel smooth and clean. This product after using did not give me that. I also still got a lot of dirt off my skin using toner.

So if you like a gentle cleanse then I think this may be for you, the packaging was lovely, it feel like a quality product but it just wasn't the right fit for me.

This was a lovely foaming face wash that left my skin feeling nice and clean, but the scent was incredibly overpowering and would definitely stop me using it again. I don't like scented products on my face at all, but this was a particularly sticky, sweet scent that I found very cloying.

The packaging was lovely, it felt nice and I loved the clean, minimalist look of it.

It did a very thorough job of cleaning my skin and washed off easily enough, although I did find that it left my skin incredibly shiny and almost 'squeaky clean' which I wasn't a big fan of. Followed up with a non-shiny moisturiser that wasn't too big a problem, though.

Overall, if you don't mind strongly scented products it could be quite good for you, but I think you can do better especially in that price range.

​First impression: When I pumped it into my hand literal foam just spurted out. It’s been a long while since I’ve used foaming cleansers so it was quite surprising. It lathers up very satisfyingly, but does leave a very slight rubbery feeling, though definitely not as strong as if soap were used. I really like how you can see inside so you know how much product is left. Seeing as I've been using this every single morning (sometimes at night if I don't use my oil cleanser) for nearly 2 weeks now, one pump each time, I'd say it can probably last around 3 months.

Review: I think it does a decent job at cleansing. Not the best cleanser ever, but it does the job. I did notice though that after I cleansed I could actually see the pores on my cheeks which is a little alarming as usually mine aren't distinguishable. I also found my face contracted random whiteheads that did go away so I don't know if it was because it reacted to the sudden change of cleanser or if it contributed. I'm just glad they went away!

All in all, I don't think I would recommend this only because there are plenty of face washes out there that are more affordable and can do a better job at cleansing.

I don't usually use facial washes in my skincare regime but this product might become an addition to it. The scent is slightly sweet (almost the same as the moisturiser) but that does not bother me too much. What I liked most about this product is that I could feel a difference in how clean my face was after using it. Especially after wearing makeup all day, this got rid of any remaining makeup that a makeup wipe wouldn't remove.

The only negative I have about this product is that my skin kind of feels a bit more dry than usual as soon as I wash it off but a good moisturiser fixes that with no problem.

I also don't like adding a lot of new products to my face because sometimes less is more when it comes to skincare but I find that by using this product a few times a week it just gives that clean feeling to my face.

Overall I would definitely continue using this product however not on a daily basis.

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.

I got this sent by the lovely team at beauty review. It comes in a nice little box. I love that it is a foam based wash in a pump bottle. So easy to use ! It smells divine and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh . I love how my skin feels after I use it. Only thing I would say is that it unfortunately doesn't do much for my post delivery peeling skin. But other than that it's a great little find ! Would definitely use it once I get my peeling skin under control.

I enjoyed this product.

I have dry skin so I did find it was better to use this every few days rather than everyday. I used one pump and it was enough to clean my whole face. Moisturiser afterwards is usually a must for me because it can leave my skin feeling a bit tight.

The smell is pleasant enough and doesn't linger on the face anyway if you find it a bit strong. The packaging feels relatively luxurious for being plastic.

While I will use this product up, cleanser isn't a product I'm that picky about because its only on the skin very briefly and then down the drain.

I think this product would best suit someone with oily skin who doesn't mind a fairly scented product and is looking to support a made in New Zealand brand.

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.
