Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Skin Clear Cream

I am truly amazed at the efficacy of this stuff. I am in my peri-menopausal years and have been beset by stubborn, painful bumps along my jawline and temples that were responding to nothing, particularly during PMS. I did not have this much acne in high school! Chalk it up to hormones. Anyhow, based on the excellent first review here of this cream, I sprang for a jar. It got here quickly and I just had some new bumps come up yesterday so I used this on them after my evening cleansing. Woke up this morning to find them significantly diminished and less painful. I can't wait to see the results after several more uses!It seems very oily at first but absorbs well into the skin. I stirred it well before using because some of the oil was sitting on top of the cream when I opened it. The aroma is an intriguing combination of honey and tea tree oil even though there is no tea tree oil in it. Check out the ingredient list - chock full of good, natural things, 73% organic. I love this stuff already and will absolutely try some of NZ Fusion's other products!Addendum:Four days later and going strong. I've now used it all over my face as a night cream and it's the perfect mix of light moisture and medicinal healing for blemishes. This will be a great summertime night cream as my skin does not feel oily, despite the oil - just smooth and soft in the morning. It would be an outstanding daytime moisturizer as well although sometimes I need a bit more moisture when my skin is dry (as in wintertime). Who knew that for the very reasonable price of $14.95, my skin would respond so well to this cream? I'd happily fork over twice the $$ for such an outstanding product. I'll be first in line if NZ Fusion is ever inspired to manufacture a body lotion from Manuka Honey...hint hint ;-)

I really wanted to like this skin cream and had high hopes that it would help with the acne breakouts that I've been having lately, but I just couldn't get past the horrible smell. It is actually nauseating to me and offensive to others - I tried to stick it out, thinking maybe I'd get used to the smell, but I got so many complaints from my family that I had to go wash my face. It may be the 5-star product others seem to think it is, but I'll never know how anyone can stand the odor.

I original purchased the item when it was in the glass jar. I wouldn't say it prevented acne but I found it worked well on moistening my skin. I repurchased and it came in the plastic bottle. No. It smelt weird and off as if it was spoilt. Don't like the plastic bottle, cant see my product....it seems to me that the consistency is not the same as it was in the glass jar. Will not purchase again.

I think it helps to control acne, yes. I don't know if clears blemishes yet, which I desperately want. I do still have minor breakouts though, a pimple here or there but nothing serious.I like the way it makes my face feel, there's a tingle llike tea tree oil. No issues with the smell or anything. And they are right, it doesn't leave you greasy if you use the right amounts. I have the old jar version.I do think it will help defy aging also.What I dislike and what confuses me is that the ingredients tend to seperate and I have to stir/mix it every night about maybe 2 weeks after I received it.

I was led to this cream due to an outbreak of MRSA on my chin. I had read about the benefits of manuka honey on wounds and had ordered the honey first and was using that on the wound. The wound cleared up and so I ordered this because it has the manuka honey (active umf) in it. I am hoping, since it has been shown to effectively kill the MRSA bacteria, it will act to fend off any MRSA that tries to find its way onto my face again! I have always had a history of acne since I was 15 (now 41 years old). So its only been 2 days of using this cream, and already I can see and feel the benefits. Pimples, impurities under the surface of the skin came to the surface quickly and were eradicated, instead of becoming larger and festering under the skin, which has been how it normally goes for me. Having taken accutane years ago, I have found my skin to be abnormally dry and still pimply. This is the best cream ever to remedy that. It acts as a great moisturizer. I did not find it to be too greasy. It absorbed into my skin beautifully and has started improving my complexion already. My make-up goes on easily over it and it makes your skin so, so soft. Having read the other reviews, I was a bit worried that it would be sticky, in light of the 1 review that said her cat's fur stuck to it, but it is not at all sticky if you ask me. Absorbs right into the skin and leaves you with a soft, nice complexion. I also think the smell is pleasant, not too strong. After only 2 days I am sold on this cream. Going to order another jar. Oh, and by the picture, I thought this would be a large jar, but its really not very big. It is too bad that it is kind of on the expensive side, but if you ask me, it is worth it. That's really the only down side..the expense. I believe you can save a buck or two ordering from Koru Naturals directly. I will see what develops over the next couple weeks with my skin and post again as to long-term benefits.

I was pleased with this cream and like the fact that it is all natural. Its ingredients are Manuka honey, burdock root, and thyme, which are blended with oil to create an all-natural cream that is ideal for acne-prone skin. Continual use of the cream is supposed to restore the skin's natural barrier and protect against further damage. The cream has a pleasant smell and is very moisturizing. It works well as a moisturizer for daytime and a facial cream at night.I gave this product 4 stars only because it left my skin a little oily, but using powder mitigated that issue.
