Wild Ferns Radiance Renewal Facial Serum Review

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.

I received this product in the BBBE:Best Of 2017 Cruelty Free Edition box. So far this is my most favourite of this year. I have been using it for the last 2 months a couple of times a week in the evenings after my mask sessions.

From the first application I was impressed with the results. Lightweight formula and dropper application made it easy to use. Smells like honey but not an overpowering scent. My skin feels soft, moisturised, rejuvenated and I look glowy. I swear I look so good even though I am just going to bed.

I adore this facial serum so much. For the price point I feel like this is worth it and I will be repurchasing when this one runs out.

Unfortunately this serum just doesn’t cut it for me. This was my first manuka product I’ve tried so I had high expectations after seeing all the hype around these types of products. I received it in the BBBE Cruelty Free edition and was blown away by the actual pottle.

The contrast of the milky serum in this yellow stained glass pottle is seriously worth a double take. It comes with a functional dropper which holds quite a bit of product so you may want to go easy when dispensing the product.

The serum is a semi thick milky consistency which is light weight on the skin. It has an artificial honey scent that reminds me off the skincare section in NZ souvenir stores. I notice that when I rub it into my skin it feels somewhat sticky and once ‘absorbed’ my face is left lightly tacky. Having oily skin I can do without this feeling particularly when I’m off to bed as I don’t want the product residue getting on my pillow.

After using this four times a week for 3 months I haven’t noticed any change. No radiance, no glow - nothing. The good news is that I have sensitive skin and I didn’t react to the regular use however you won’t find me lining up to purchase any manuka serums any time soon.

I received the Wild Ferns Radiance Renewal Facial Serum in the Cruelty Free edition of BBBE. This is one of my favourite products from the box. It’s made in New Zealand with natural ingredients. The serum itself looks like liquid gold in a 30ml glass bottle with a dropper and has a lovely perfume type scent.

I cleansed and toned my face before I applied the serum onto my face. I squeezed a couple of drops onto my palms and followed the instructions on the packaging - applied it onto my face in an upward motion. Even though it doesn’t say on the packaging, I also evenly applied it onto my neck. I only used it during the night before I hopped into bed. I found great results with my face the next morning. My blemishes had diminished, and my skin looked brighter, smoother and very fresh. I found that the serum was very light and not sticky. It spreads very evenly onto the skin and absorbs quickly.

I absolutely love this product and I will be buying it again once it’s finished. I recommend this product for someone who’s wanting a fresh look into the morning.
