Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Purifying Toner Review

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 these products.

I like that it uses the natural healing properties of Manuka honey and incorporates that into the formula.

The packaging looks great in the box, but I feel like the bottle looks a bit tacky - just the pale yellow bottle. The spray top was a bonus though and it was easy to control the amount of toner that I used. Without that I can go wild pouring it onto the cotton pad which is just a waste.

This toner has such a strong smell I didn't like so that instantly put me off. It smells sickly sweet like manuka honey and a mixture of other things.

I put it on a cotton ball and wiped over my face. It did a good job though and certainly was refreshing. Was a bit stingy around my nose but that's a bit of a problem area so is normal for me.

It is a decent product and gave my face a good clean. Most definitely the best out of the range despite the unfortunate pale yellow bottle!

I got the trial for this toner and very thank you for beauty review. This toner is something new for my skincare routine because mostly I use alcohol free toner.

Wild fern Manuka honey toner bottle is same standard spray bottle. I 100% agreed with that what ever this toner says. It does remover makeup residue and skin feel hydrate too. This toner has alcohol in it however it is quite hydrating. Surprise for me because I mostly use alcohol free toner.

I would repurchase this toner because I mostly focus on good makeup remover. I do double cleansing method. But good stuff for good price.

I really liked this toner - it smelled beautiful and did get rid of any excess oils and dirt from my skin (although I did have to use a lot as the face wash from the same range wasn’t good). I haven’t really noticed any difference to my pores like it said, but maybe I need to keep using it longer. I like that fact that it’s alcohol free and it came in a spray. Not only did I use this as a toner, but I would spritz it on my face throughout the day when I would want to freshen up my make up or when i was hot. It’s very multi-purposed. This is something I will definitely be repurchasing as i can get a lot of use out of it - not just as a toner

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.

I really like this product.

I find it removes dirt from my skin that I didn't even know was there. It also doesn't dry my skin out which I've found other toners are prone to do. It smells pretty strong and the smell does linger on the skin for a bit but I enjoy it! I spray two sprays onto a cotton round and wipe over my face but avoid the eye area. I use this product once a day at night time. I try to use this product more if I'm breaking out because of the antibacterial properties of honey.

I'm also a fan of this brand in general because it's made in New Zealand and I think it's important to support products made here.

I think the price is pretty reasonable, especially for a New Zealand brand. I imagine one bottle would last for a quite a while if you only use to sprays a day.

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 loved this product!

The packaging was lovely with a great mist spray which delivers a decent amount of product. I used by spraying on to a cotton pad and wiping my skin. It also has a sturdy lid which I like for travel. It is pretty with the clear plastic and yellow liquid.

The scent is refreshing, not quite as 'orangey' as the facial wash, I felt you could smell the honey in this one.

For the trial I used this in conjunction with the facial wash and I was amazed at how much dirt it removed from my skin after using the wash, it was incredibly satisfying! I also used this alone on really hot days and it was a wonderful way to refresh my skin mid day! I decided to test it with my regular facial wash as well and again it removed a good amount of left over dirt (although not as much as with the Manuka Honey Facial Wash). My only slight and picky observation is that it does leave a slight residue on the skin, this did not bother me and is pretty typical of toners but worth a mention if you hate that.

I highly recommend this product, I have used a lot of toners and this is my new favorite. My skin looks refreshed and glowy after using and I certainly noticed a difference in pore size on my checks after using for a few weeks. LOVE IT!

​First impression: What I noticed was the strong smell. It’s quite a strong scent, but thankfully it does fade. It’s not a horrible smell, but it’s not the most pleasant. I love how it’s in a spray bottle and it dispenses quite evenly so you don’t need to spray a lot on your face (even though I do, heh). It does suggest to spray onto a cotton pad and wipe that onto your face, but I only ever do that with exfoliating toners and either spray or pat it straight onto my face. I usually spray about 5-9 sprays so I'm quite generous with the application.

Review: Out of the three products from the skincare regime, the toner would hands down be my favourite. It did not break me out or irritate my skin, and all the products I put on afterward sunk in so well and didn’t react negatively. After awhile I even got used to the smell which actually became quite refreshing. I believe my skin became smoother and supple, and I just love how well my skin lapped this up! I also believe that it has helped minimise the redness and PIE on my face which is one of my major skin concerns - I think this is due to the wonderful combination of the aloe vera, witch hazel, and of course, manuka honey.

To conclude, I highly recommend this product. I think it is an excellent hydrating toner. It's refreshing and helps other skincare products sink into your skin. No negative reactions whatsoever, plus also minimises redness and healing your blemishes! Highly impressed with this product.

I received this for the team at beauty review. The toner comes in a handy spray bottle and works great with re freshing my skin or removing my make up. I love the fragrance and the fact that my skin felt so hydrated after using it. I'd definitely come back to this in the future.
