Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Purifying Toner Review

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 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!

I tried using this range with the toner for 2 weeks and then without the toner for 2 weeks, and I found no difference in my skin with the toner vs without.

When I was using the toner, I found it to be a real nuisance to use. It says to use cotton wool to apply it, so I tried using cotton pads at first but something in the formula seemed to completely disintegrate the pads so that as I swiped the product on I'd end up depositing big lumps of cotton all over my face.

I switched to spraying 1.5 spritzes straight into the palm of my hand, rubbing my hands together, and applying directly to my face which seemed to get a good, even coverage. The finish once it's applied is really sticky and tight - it just doesn't feel very nice at all until you apply a moisturiser.

The scent was a bit overpowering, although not as bad as the face wash - if I liked the toner, the scent wouldn't have been enough to put me off and I'm not a big fan of scents near my face. The packaging was nice and felt fairly sturdy, although I wish they'd packaged it more like the face wash which was very lovely looking.

The most annoying feature of the toner, though, was how much of a pain it made moisturising. It seemed to create a barrier on my skin that made moisturisers sink in much, much more slowly. Even with a normal moisturiser that was a bit of a pain, but with their moisturiser which was already fairly sticky and smeary it made it nigh on impossible to smooth into my skin. I had to pat it in instead to make it settle in nicely.

​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 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 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.

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.

Package arrived with the face wash, this toner and a moisturiser. The bright yellow colours had my quite exited - until I opened the box and found a pale yellow spray bottle inside that curbed my excitement.

I used this after the face wash - and found that it has a spray top that distributed the liquid just about everywhere rather then on the cotton pad I tried to hit. In the end gave up and just unscrewed the bottle and tipped it over onto the cotton pad.

A faint smell of honey and citrus was noted but not as strong as the face wash and the moisturiser. Went on easily enough once you had the product on the cotton pad. I found it to be pretty refreshing and like it not being sticky (especially in the humid conditions we have been experiencing the last few weeks during summer)

I liked the travel sized bottle which I really good for traveling. I will however keep on unscrewing the bottle rather than spraying it onto the cotton pad - which only leads to a waste of product.

I will probably not buy or recommend this to anyone else - there is less expensive products out there that I prefer.

I really enjoyed using this product, it smells great and I like that it is a natural New Zealand made product and uses Manuka honey. I had no reactions to using this product when I have really sensitive skin. It is a great product to use after cleansing and before applying a moisturiser and I found it removed dirt off the skin, light makeup and made my skin less greasy.

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!
