Manuka Honey Refreshing Facial Wash Review

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.

I have to admit that I tend to write off anything that comes from souvenir shops as a bit too pricey so really grateful that I got to trial this range. The packaging is cute. I like it and think it looks quite nice. I like that it uses the natural healing properties of Manuka honey and incorporates that into the formula. This cleanser/face wash comes with a foam pump which is nice, means that you don't inadvertently use lots. I used a couple of pumps and was quite happy with the amount I got. I didn't like the scent. It was way too strong for me, smelt a little bit like honey and overly sweet. This put me off, didn't like putting it on my face! The scent did dissipate over time and was okay. Ultimately - my face felt nice and clean afterwards so it did a good job. I will use it again but I feel for almost $20 there are better options out there. I don't like the smell and ultimately I feel like that put me off right from the start.

The fragrance was not my most favorite but it foamed up like you would have expected from a wash. It tended to pull the dirt off the skin well and made it easier to remove the excess dirt and oil. After using the product my skin felt clean and smooth.

I enjoyed being on the trial team for this facial wash. I thought the packaging it came in was gorgeous and simple. I liked the gold embossed font and the honey details on the front of the small box. I loved that it was made right here in New Zealand too. The packaging was easy to open. I could see the bottle inside the box when I opened it.

I found the directions on how to use this facial wash were easy to follow and it was simple to do. I used this as part of my morning and night routine to remove my make up well over a week or two and it kept my skin feeling refreshed.

The sweet orange oil gave it a lovely scent which I found quite revitalising and it was a nice smell. I only needed a couple of little pumps of the wash. It foamed up when I squeezed it out of the bottle pump. It was easy to apply to my face and rinsed off with ease. After drying my face, after applying the facial wash, my skin felt clean and fresh. My skin is quite sensitive and this didn't seem to irritate my skin which was great.

I used this along with the same brand of purifying toner and moistuiser. Out of all of the products, this was probably my favourite. I most likely wouldn't buy this facial wash from a store or through their site but I would most likely give my friends and family good feedback about this facial wash as I found it to be pretty good for my skin.
