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

This is a really nice, rich moisturizer that is readily absorbed and does not make my skin look greasy. I have recently self-diagnosed myself with combination skin and rosacea, which is why I purchased this product. Until now, I have been using harsh anti-acne moisturizers and cleansers containing salicylic acid and found that these products actually made the rosacea even more irritated, while not doing anything beneficial to get rid of the dryness. Since I started using Honeyskin products (I also started using Honeyskin cleanser), I have found that rosacea breakouts have been dramatically halted, my dry skin patches are soothed, and the product is helping to reduce the dark red discoloration brought on by rosacea pimples that until now would not go away. At this time, I have been using the moisturizer for approximately two weeks and I'm less weary to look in the mirror. The price is very reasonable compared to expensive brands that are sometimes purchased and don't work anyway, which is frustrating. And, it beats going to a dermatologist only for them to prescribe an antibiotic or steroid, which are bad for you and temporary, or other expensive products that your insurance probably won't cover. I would recommend this product to anybody looking for a gentle regimin, especially if you feel you have skin with problem areas. In addition, I also drink an apple cider vinegar/water concoction containing roughly a teaspoon of Bragg brand vinegar to 16oz. water daily, and this seems to help as well. I will definitely purchase Honeyskin moisturizer again.

I'm a skeptic. I am wary of big promises from skin care products. I discovered long ago the products usually have their most profound impact on my wallet. A few months ago, at age 55, I developed rosacea. I have spent a fair amount of money and time looking for a solution. The product that worked best dried my skin and still left some redness. I took a chance on Honeyskin. Within three days all redness was gone and has never come back. I have been using for about a month now on my face, décolleté and arms. No special routine, just apply in morning and at night like I would any other moisturizer. Here's where I go so far as to say Miracle Cream". I suffer from allergies and have always struggled with puffiness under my eyes. Also, with age I've noticed my skin bruises and scratches more easily. Since I am an avid gardener and mother of backyard chickens, I have perpetual bruises and scratches on my arms - not pretty. Well, a couple of weeks ago I noticed the puffiness under my eyes looked better and has stayed that way. Then last week I realized I had almost no visible bruises or scratches on my arms. Obviously this cream is not preventing bruises and scratches, they just seem to be healing faster. I can eliminate rosacea and eye cream from my list, which makes this very affordable. Don't know if you will have same results, but I'd say it's worth a shot.

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 ordered this with very little knowledge of Manuka Honey. My one time owning a Manuka Honey lotion was a free sample provided by a hotel my wife and I stayed at. I loved it. I shave my head a couple times a week and the sample of Manuka Honey lotion was soft and creamy with a light, mostly unisex scent. This Honeyskin one is completely different than that sample. The scent is different. It might be that this Honeyskin one is more natural. I don't have the bottle to the sample I had to compare ingredients, but this scent isn't for me. My senior mom decided she would use it for its moisturizing ability, but after a few days, she also stopped using it because of the scent (she was using it on her face). I'm still giving it 3 stars since some people might like the scent and it rubs in good, isn't greasy, so I don't think it's a bad product at all. I just don't think it's what I was expecting from a Manuka Honey lotion.
