Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Purifying Toner Review

I havn't used a toner in years so I was was excited to review this product and see if it actually makes a difference to my skin.

The first thing I noticed is that it comes is a spray bottle which made it so much easier to use and apply. I also noticed that it has a very subtle scent so people who a sensitive to scents may not have a problem using this product.

I sprayed a decent amount onto a cotton pad and wiped my entire face with it and even though I had cleansed before that, the toner removed even more dirt and left my skin feeling refreshed, clean and smooth. The refreshing feeling definitely helped me stay cool this summer.

I would definitely recommend this product to someone looking for a good toner thats affordable but also good quality.

In all - a great toner in a decent sized bottle made from New Zealand sourced ingredients. I love that Wild Ferns products are New Zealand made and they're not tested on animals and that the packaging is sustainable. Toners are something I've only recently started using though I long knew I should. The Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Purifying Toner is beautifully refreshing used between cleansing and moisturising. It dries my skin out a little as it removes any remaining oil, dirt and makeup as I really do feel the need to moisturise immediately afterwards. My skin is really soft and clear from using the Wild Ferns 3-step skincare regime!

I have never been a fan of toners. I don't use them, I find them too time consuming. This toner smells lovely and it feels really nice on the skin, I would highly recommend it to those who love a good toner or to those who have oily skin. But personally I won't repurchase any toner because I find it takes too long to apply. With 3 kids I only have time to wash and maybe moisturise most days. Nice little toner though. Wish we could buy large face pads for toners then maybe I would use a toner everyday. Will be so much easier to apply.

1. PACKAGING: Product is packaged well inside a box that features clear print and an effective design. The Product itself is in a heavy duty plastic spray bottle, which the spray nozzle sprays an even fine mist. The bottle is well printed with everything you need to know about the product.

2. THE PRODUCT: Like the Cleanser it contains a lot of beneficial ingredients, the main being pure New Zealand Manuka Honey. Still has a strong fragrance which is not what some people typically like in their skincare. The solution is like an other toner but I love that its in a spray bottle form as it makes it alot easier to use and you can control how much you need unlike some brands toners which have the tip/ pour option which can lead to wasting of product as it is not as easily controlled.

3. HOW TO USE IT: Every morning and night, after cleansing my face I would apply 3-4 sprays of the toner onto a clean cotton round. I then gently start swiping across my skin making sure to avoid the eye area. I let the toner settle before applying any further steps.

4. MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Out of the 3 WILD FERNS Manuka Honey Range that I got to try (TY beautyreviewnz) this toner is by far my fave and something I would most definitely will go and purchase time and time again. Even though I am not keen on heavily fragrant skincare items, if I believe that that product is making a difference to my skin in the way in feels and looks I will continue to use it. I also love how its so simple to use with the spray bottle. And it leaves my face feeling clean and well hydrated.

OVERALL RATING: 10/10

I don't really usually use toner but was pretty keen to give this a try when I got selected for a trial team (Thanks BR!).

Firstly the packaging, it comes in a pastel/mellow yellow bottle with a white spray head. I found it interesting being a spray, as you'd think you should spray it straight onto your face, but don't! It's designed to be sprayed onto a cotton ball, which is weird because the spray disperses quite widely. A regular, open top bottle might have been more practical...?

Anyway, the product itself seems to do a really good job. It dried out my face well and took away all the excess oil and left my skin feeling dry and snatched. Always make sure you apply moisturiser afterwards so your skin doesn't dry out too much!

The downfall with this product, and the rest of the Wild Ferns Manuka range I've tried, is the smell. I think it's a pollen smell and it's juts too much and too strong for me.

All in all its actually a great product that does a good job if you can handle the smell.

I loved that this was in a spray bottle!! It makes it so much easier to use and less wastage than having to tip the toner on a cotton pad and wipe onto the face. It works well with the Moisturiser and i will definitely continue to use this up

Firstly, I'd just like to point out I'm not a huge fan of toner. I have very rarely used it. I have dry skin and often toners leave me feeling even dryer, unfortunately, this was no exception. I thought maybe the honey would have some great moisturising effects, but in the end it just made me feel worse so I had to give it away. Please don't let my review put you off, as my friend with normal skin used and loved this product, it just didn't gel with my skin type.

A watery toner that comes in a spray bottle, but instructions state to apply with a cotton ball. Alcohol free and does not irritate my skin, but has a strong, perfumey honey scent. Leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated. Tested around pH 5-6 which is ideal. Despite coming in a spray bottle, I would not recommend spraying it directly on your face, because if it gets on your lips it is horrendously bitter! I don't see the point of this packaging - a simple screw top bottle would be more practical and less wasteful. Might finish the bottle but would not repurchase.

Coming in a pretty but practical honey-yellow bottle with a spray top this toner is intended to be sprayed onto cotton wool for use. It has the same smell as the rest of the range which may be too strong for some people - I found the cleanser overwhelming but this and the moisturiser were ok.

I am not a toner person, either they do nothing or upset my skin. This one is quite refreshing but ultimately was too drying for my skin, even if I only used it once a day. Like all the other products in this range while it says all skin types, if you have dry or sensitive skin it probably isn't for you
