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 4oz

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~*~

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.

Is wonderful for dry skin, it just smells bad.

good stuff. a bit expensive but it helped with facial redness, dry skin and flaking

Been using this cream for a while now and find it to be the best for my aging skin. It works well for my face and body. it leaves my skin softer as this cream doesn't take much to be effective, making it economical as well. I like that it has nothing in it that could be harmful as well. There is no scent that I can detect, which is great for my use.

The cream does moisturize, but it has an awful smell. I was expecting a pleasant honey fragrance and didn’t get one.

I have struggled with sensitive, red skin for years. For the past several years in particular I've had rash like areas over my nose and cheeks, creating an embarrassing patch of red that I've been self conscious of. Most redness relief products haven't done a thing. I haven't been diagnosed with rosacea, but I have many symptoms of it. I decided to give this cream a try based on the reviews, and I am so glad that I did. After my purchase, I received an email from the company that included some advice to get the most out of this product. It mentioned to stop using any facial products with a pH over 6. I had never considered pH in my skincare products, and after reading more on their website and others, I learned about the acid mantle layer of the skin. Quoting from Wikipedia: "The acid mantle is a very fine, slightly acidic film on the surface of human skin acting as a barrier to bacteria, viruses and other potential contaminants that might penetrate the skin". The natural pH of this layer is around 5.5 (which this cream is balanced at) and I read that using any products much higher can strip your skin, making it susceptible to dryness, irritation, etc. This was all news to me, so I decided to give a lower pH skin regimen a try. I stopped using the "gentle" Cetaphil cleanser (with a pH of 6.5) that I previously used and any other products that were too high. I switched to Vanicream Free and Clear wash, and their bar soap. I also use Honeyskin's exfoliating wash. I use my normal zit cream for spot treatment, and then this Honeyskin cream. The cream itself feels great on my skin. No irritation as other products have given me. To me it smells wonderful, almost like rubbing chocolate and honey on my face, but with a light, non-greasy, creamy texture. A little does go a long way and it feels so soothing. I continued this new regimen and my skin texture and appearance has improved greatly. The flareups of redness on my cheeks and nose went away. The itchy, rough texture is gone. My skin is so much softer that for a while I couldn't stop touching my face to see if it was still soft (it was). I still have some redness from time to time, especially if I fall out of my routine, but for the most part, the redness is greatly reduced. A coworker mentioned that my skin was less red, and family noticed too. Most importantly, I have seen and felt the difference for myself, and it has improved my confidence and comfort. I won't be using any other cream after this. I highly recommend you give it a try, and to use products that match the natural 5.5 pH of your skin. Stick with it for some weeks, and hopefully you'll notice the difference that I have.

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.
