Hydrating Face Moisturizer & Body Cream with Manuka Honey Cream - Organic Face Moisturizer with Honey for Extremely Dry Skin - for Dry & Itchy Skin, Rosacea & Eczema Prone Skin 2oz

Manuka Organics has created the finest moisturizer I have ever had the pleasure to use. I first purchased the 4oz container of Honeyskin Organics Aloe Vera + Manuka Honey in December of 2016 and I recently purchased my second container. The first one would have lasted longer had I used it only on my face and neck but I used it as a body lotion too so it was gone pretty quickly. As someone who has lived as long as I have and tried as many skin care products, I have learned that value is not equal to purchase price. Some of the best items I have were purchased at the dollar store! On the spectrum of cost, Honeyskin is certainly not indicative of it's value, no not at all! I have purchased moisturizers that cost in excess of $100,00 that can not compare to Honeyskin. HS is not oily, it absorbs quickly but if you use too much (which I am tempted to do) it will leave a tiny white residue, so it is best to start with less. When I first put my hands in it felt like a very rich whipped creme. I wanted to fill the tub with it and soak in it. It is impossible to accurately describe the delicious texture of this amazing creme. HS has quite a recipe of nourishing products including Manuka Oil. Some folks seemed to believe that there was not enough Manuka Oil in the product to justify either the name or the price. Over the years I have found that too much salt, sugar, garlic or whatever ingredient spoils the recipe. If I feel my skin needs a little healing I dab a bit of Manuka essential oils on my hand and apply it first. I have only done it once, it is just not needed. More is less with HS. My skin care regime is very simple but is has never failed me, I have never used anything but a warm washcloth to clean my face, and I use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) as a toner. I also use the ACV as a toner on my body and hair before I get out of the shower. The odor dissipates quickly. ACV seems to stimulate hair growth and it has an antiseptic quality which is wonderful for those who tend to get folliculitis. ACV has nearly the same ph of the body so it is not harmful to the skin. ACV has many medicinal qualities, and is useful for a myriad of other things as well, so do not fear using it. After I wash my face, I apply the ACV and when it dries I apply a little bit of Hyaluronic Acid gel which absorbs quickly and then I apply HS. I deliberately waited to write a review until I had used a full 4 oz container of HS despite the pleas from the manufacturer for a quick review because I have learned that impressions change over a period of time and then I feel as though I have been dishonest and need to update my original review. Now I am perfectly comfortable to say that HS is an uncommon value as well as an uncommon moisturizer. However, one must consider that although we are the same (human) we are not the same because our genetic ladder determines our characteristics. So if you have acne I have no idea how this creme will affect you. The ACV would be good though. I use Braggs with the mother and Amazon has it. By the way, in case you are wondering - the "mother" consists of a white cloudy substance that are protein chains and they are not harmful at all. I can not in good conscience list a bunch of miraculous things that HS has done for me, other than keeping my skin moisturized and healthy. I was blessed with a beautiful complexion and was rarely troubled with pimples ( don't you just hate that word). I am a senior, senior citizen with few complaints about my skin. One thing I do have is Angular Cheilitis which is terrible!! It sounds fairly benign but it causes the corners of the mouth to bleed, the skin around my mouth gets dry and flaky and the skin in the affected area takes on a grayish cast which can not be covered by make up. My lips get dry and chapped and peel everyday until they bleed and cracks appear from the lips into the skin. It drives me nuts! Nothing the Dr gave me seemed to help, but eventually I discovered Vitamin C in large doses does heal it. Right now I take about 3,000 MGs daily to keep it under control and I use one of the battery powered skin care systems once a month or so to exfoliate my skin to maintain it's luster and I use a very mild exfoliating gel. Occasionally I use some combination of essential oils as the exfoliator and my skin loves it. (Please do not buy the expensive skin care brushes, unless you have lots of money). A final thing is that I have never smoked. Tobacco is lethal to beautiful skin so don't start using it or if you have, try to quit. So there you have it folks, I hope you find this review to be useful and should you purchase HS, it is a wonderful product, and I am surprised it does not cost far more than than the purchase price. It is made of all kinds of good things that provides nourishment and moisture without leaving a greasy residue, and your face will reward you many times over. I did not accept compensation in product or money to give a positive review of this product. Any thoughts or claims I have made are purely my own as evidenced by my nonsense. Seriously, this is good stuff! The manufacturer of HS is eager to provide information on the uses of HS and answer the questions of consumers, because they want us to have a good experience with it. The product was shipped by the manufacturer, yet it arrived on or near the expected date, packaged appropriately, and the product is yummy! You know I thought they should have named it something different than Honeyskin because that makes me think of sticky stuff and ants approaching. Think I could talk them into naming it Yummyskin? Update 8/25/17: I have been using this amazing cream for eight months now. In my earlier review I mentioned that I had Angular Chellitis (AC) but I thought vitamin C I take was responsible for the improvement in the AC. I shared my last order of Honeyskin with my sister and I ran out more quickly than I thought I would. About a week after being without it I noticed that the cracks, peeling, gray looking skin, and general appearance around my mouth and chin had returned. I realize now that the Honeyskin plays a vital role in keeping the AC under control so today I am ordering the 8oz size cream. I am also pleased to share with you that my sister believes that this cream is the best she has ever used. Honeyskin is a wonderfully affordable moisturizer and combined with it's healing attributes it is an amazing bargain. NJoy~*~

You should know I take “natural” talk with a grain of salt. I have used 100% natural deodorants that have caused painful rashes that took a week to heal. Baking soda was the natural ingredient that caused the problem. If you are worried about a couple of the ingredients then try shea butter (leaves an almost wax layer on your skin and a greasy residue) or try coconut oil (protects the skin and almost no residue). The hand soap I use at work is harsh on my hands so I have been looking for a crème that protects my hands, soaks into the skin, is long lasting and leaves no residue. In addition, I have severe itching, sensitive skin, possible eczema but untested, and an extreme sensitivity to scents that can trigger a migraine. I have tried several different types of lotions, crèmes, deodorants, etc. When I read this product, Honeyskin Organics Crème, was for itching and eczema, and had a 60 day, money back, guarantee, I decided to try it. This is more than I would usually spend on a hand lotion, or crème. I have been using this crème for a little over a month. With that in mind, it is a thick crème that goes on smooth, soaks into the skin and leaves no residue. It is not watery or greasy. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft. It is unscented and smells like most unscented products smell. It is not a masculine, or feminine, smell. It smells clean to me and doesn’t give me a headache, or migraine. I don’t feel the need to re-apply it on a regular basis. Also, I am not breaking out in pimples from leaning my face on my hand which I do regularly. I use it once, or twice, a day, possibly less. So far, I love it but I don’t know if I will purchase it again. I have not decided if the benefits outweigh the high cost. However, I don’t need to make that decision until I’ve used it all. That could be 3 or 4 months from now and will give me plenty of time to decide.

I waited almost two months after receiving this product to write this review because I was so on the fence about it and almost returned it twice, in fact. However, in the end, I have come to conclude this moisturizer is EXCELLENT and I will repurchase it. The pros and cons are discussed below: 1. The worst thing about this product is its ability to "play well with others". This moisturizer has a bit of an odd texture to it that I have now learned to love but did not at first. It is a little waxy almost. Because of this texture and the reason for my almost returning it twice was an inability to use it without horrible pilling. It was a lot of trial and error for me to figure out how to use it if I wanted to have anything else on my face. If you wear it alone sans makeup, serums, or anything else - you will have no problem. Likewise if you are using it as a body lotion without additional layers of products, you will love it. 2. Because of this issue, I use this moisturizer on my face only at night. I cannot wear it in the morning and wear makeup (and I do not wear foundation, only concealer and an application of pressed powder) or apply my Vitamin C, eye cream and peptide, sunscreen. IT DOES NOT WORK, no matter how long I wait between applying products. I end up with pilling and an unsmooth look so I use a moisturizer with mineral sunscreen in the morning and opt for this at night. 4. Applied at night after cleansing, toning, retinol this product is amazing. it sort of seals the moisture into your face, leaves it soft and smooth and no oiliness - not even when you wake up in the morning. 5. I have mild rosacea and battle some redness in my cheeks and I noticed a huge difference in 2-3 days after consistent use of this product (hence my reluctance on returning it and determination to make this product work for me!). 6. I seem to be alone on this, but I like the smell! 7. I bought the 2oz jar and it has lasted two months and I estimate I have about 2 weeks more of the product left. 8. This is the only "lotion" I let my 8 and 9 year old kids use. It is gentle and does not have fragrance and alcohols and dyes that are stuffed in to all other lotions. 9. My final comment is that this product is truly unique in its absorption and texture. Don't expect it to be like other moisturizers. Don't be too quick to return it, give it some time (I definitely had to) and you will be a convert. I do recommend this moisturizer but I give it four stars because of the problems I noted above. I am going to continue using it and purchase a larger size and start using it on my body as well. Hope this is helpful!

I had a little boy 15 months ago and had literally had MAYBE 7 nights of a good sleep during the entire 15 months because he suffered horribly from eczema and would wake up multiple times at night itching and upset. I have tried nearly everything (from plain coconut oil to (gasp) hydrocortisone for the itching at the recommendation of his pediatrician (I tried it once and couldn't bring myself to put it on him again because I try REALLY hard to do things naturally). I eliminated things from his diet, I added bone broths and gut healing foods, and it improved slightly but his skin still looked awful with raised red patches from the neck down. My husband found this and ordered it and I did not expect anything different from the other 5 creams I have sitting on the dresser right now. I am FLOORED at the results of this cream. In less than 24 hours, the raised rash went away. There is still redness, but his skin is baby soft on his arms like it should be, not scaly. His legs and feet had the worst of it, but even they have significantly improved and it is completely gone from his toes. It has now been 3 days and he has slept through the night all three days. I was in tears the morning after the first night because I had not slept in MONTHS. I don't know if it will work for someone else, but it is worth a shot. I will update if anything changes and will try and get photos of the improvements. Update: We are on our second jar of this stuff and his eczema is completely cleared up except for a few bumps every now and then when he has a new reaction to something, but NOTHING like it ever had been. His chest and back are baby smooth and completely cleared with no reactions. I also give him a complete omega and honey and bee pollen every day, so that may be helping as well. But this cream goes on morning and night and he loves it. First three photos are what it had been, last two photos are after shots of his foot and belly area cleared up.

I originally got this product after reading and reviewing hundreds of reviews of different products, including this one. I have highly sensitive skin, I believe I have rosacea, and my skin drys out and has allergic reactions to everything.A few months ago I was starting to breakout, I’m almost forty and never had this issue before. Everything I used made it worse. After reading reviews on this product I decided to try it. Literally within one day of using this product on clean skin morning and night, my entire face had started to clear up. I’ve been using it for a few months and my face has never looked better and it is no longer dry. I recently went and got a facial with natural products and woke up covered in hives the next morning due to an allergic reaction. I’m a flight attendant and was staying at a hotel for a few days before I had to go back out on assignment, I had no way to get anything unless I ordered it. I immediately ordered Benadryl to be delivered from CVS off Uber Eats (yes you can do that now) and tried to open my pores in the shower with hot water and a wash cloth. I immediately put this lotion on my face as thick as I could, within an hour before receiving the Benadryl, my hives were already coming down as well as the swelling by at least fifty percent. By the next morning my skin was mainly healed minus a few spots that had blistered. I continued using the lotion and within three days my skin was completely back to normal. I also now use the face and body wash, it works so well with my skin, including some small bumps on the back of my arms I’ve always been self conscious of. I use the wash and the lotion on the backs of my arms and for the first time in my life, those spots have cleared up. These products are amazing and a life changer and amazing for super sensitive skin like mine.

UPDATED AFTER 5+ YEARS: Honeyskin unfortunately has changed the ingredients or some other factor with this product. The consistency is also different. Now when I apply my face is instantly irritated and turns bright red. I will have to use on my hands/legs now instead of my face. Such a shame as I have recommended this product for years; even to my dermatologist! * I have sensitive skin with mild to moderate rosacea and have researched countless products and reviews from various sources. I thought I would try this product from the reviews and the fact that it is organic. This product has worked wonders (over the past 4 months)! I have not noticed any smell and the cream does not leave a residue nor feel greasy. I apply 2-3 times per day. I apply to my face right out of the shower. This is my base before applying my SPF tinted moisturizer. My skin has a more even tone, is extremely soft, looks vibrant and is not irritated or feel dry/ flaky, as rosacea sufferers tend to develop exzema. For those of you with rosacea, working out can cause very dry and irritated skin. I am not going to stop exercising, but make sure I apply this cream before heading to the gym to minimize the irritation and flare ups. It is very soothing and I have even used it on my feet. Those cracked and dry-prone areas feel different overnight after applying this cream. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this product and have no cons. Thank you Honeyskin!!!

This product is the best I have ever used. I always try to pick natural products that will not cause problems after use. I did not want to leave a review until I had completely used my 4oz container up. I am now ready to order again. So here goes: I am 63 and so I was having problems finding a product that would work on my skin, not cause problems and make my skin looked better. I found it. I even took some to my daughter and granddaughter. They are always very careful what they put on there skin. My daughter used something far more expensive and it did fine on her but didn't do much for my 16 year old granddaughter. They liked what they saw on my skin and how it worked on theirs. They are now ordering some to give it a long term try. As I have aged I was beginning to experience some problems like my mother had on her skin. I had to be so careful what I put on my eyes or the upper skin over my eyes would begin to sag and hang. Also the skin around my eyes would itch alot and react to creams on my face. I finally had to stick to coconut oil wich was nice but hard to keep eye makeup on. Although it kept my skin nicer it did not do what Honeyskin does. With Honeyskin I can put it on my face and around my eyes - as much as I want and no reaction. The skin has tightened on the upper skin on my eyes - no more sag at all! My skin looks and feels soft and looks so much better. The lines are not as deep as before and I can't wait to see what it will do after the 2nd container. When I first started to use it the cream felt like it was going to be heavy and take a long time to soak in. But that didn't happen and could put makeup and or eye makeup on within a minute or so, maybe less. I have used this on itchy areas where I have an injury on my leg and it is fantastic. I really love - LOVE this cream. So if you are looking for something natural that will really do great things for your skin I recommend this. I even had a person stop me the other day and tell me they liked my hair color as it made me look so much younger. Well I can guarantee it wasn't my hair color. Nothing had changed with that color.

Update 2021-- I believe I wrote the original below review back in 2016 when I first discovered this facial cream. I have been using it religiously with great success until recently when I bought a new container of it. I immediately noticed it had a slight smell to it despite saying 'no fragrance.' It is hard to place the odor but I believe it is due to one of the 'new' ingredients. I have sensitive skin so any type of fragrance does not work well with my skin type. I then noticed it did not seem to work as well for my rosacea, instead it seems to aggravate it. I finally compared the ingredients on the new container to my old container to discover the formula/ingredients have changed. I feared this would happen eventually because companies cannot seem to leave a good product alone. Due to this, I cannot use this product anymore and now I am trying to find another product that does not irritate my skin so I am dropping the star review to one. ------------------------------------------------------------ I have mature, sensitive skin and recently began having problems with rosacea. I was desperate and began looking for moisturizers that would help. I was skeptical about this cream but I liked the fact it had Manuka Honey. Most skin creams cause irritation with my skin. I was pleasantly surprised that I have no sensitivity issues with this cream. I can layer it on thick and it doesn't clog my pores. Matter of fact, I wasn't expecting it to fix my adult acne issues! If I start to get a break-out, I put the cream on and it immediately goes away! It is amazing! I am not sure if it is the Manuka honey since Manuka honey is antibiotic or the Saccharomyces or a combination. Either way, it works and I am sold! I occasionally will swap with a Vit E cream, but then I always start to get break-outs and I'm back to using the Honeyskin cream again. This is pretty much the only skin cream I will use now. As to my rosacea, it is under control. I can't say it is completely gone but it is nowhere as inflamed as it was; it has tamed the redness so nobody can tell. Even if the rosacea flares up, the cream will immediately soothe my skin. I will continue using and buying this cream since I think it is a fantastic product! I hope the formula is never changed!
