Manuka Doctor - Foaming Cleanser

''Manuka Doctor Bee Venom Foaming Cleanser - An effective cleanser that helps reveal a more radiant complexion by eliminating daily impurities''.

(Manuka Doctor, 2013) 

As many of you know I have never been happy with my skin. I crave for that flawless clear skin which I see quite a few women with nowadays (not those heavily photshopped in magazines/newspapers). I have tried virtually everything on the highstreet (minus cosmetic treatments) and nothing ever seems to work on a long term basis. I have heard from time to time however that Bee Venom is extremely good at eliminating breakouts but also combating the appearance of blemishes. Being a little skeptical I wasn't too sure about this as the thought of applying bee venom to my skin just sounded a little strange. But I thought I would give it a try and see how I got on with the Manuka Doctor Foaming Cleanser. I have been sampling this product for some time now and I figured now is the time to feedback to you all with my thoughts on this product.

First impressions of the product - the overall packaging is clean with easy to read writing. The tube is a soft tube, making dispensing the product easy ensuring there is no wastage. The product has a flip top lid, with a reasonably sized hole which enables the a decent amount of product to come out. The product itself is of creamy thickish consistency, with a very fresh and flowery. This I found to be very pleasant but not at all overpowering. One thing I did notice with this product is that it is free from SLS and parabens which is great.

Contains the following Bee related ingredients:

• Purified Bee Venom and Manuka Honey.
• Papaya Extract: A botanical extract with refreshing and cleansing properties
• Shea Betaine: A foaming cleansing ingredient from shea butter
• Tricholsan: A known anti-bacterial ingredient

Also contains the following ingredient: Phyoncide Water

I found the best way to work with this product was in the shower. To be honest with all face products being in the shower is a must for me; I just find it helps prepare my skin before I apply any cleansers. I then proceed to use an ample size, get a good lather before massaging well into my face. I leave for a few seconds before washing off and then towel pat dry my face (I never rub dry)! When I first used this product I noticed a slight (ever so slight) little tingle, which is the bee venom, but this quickly faded and I didn't experience the feeling again. I have noticed with daily use that my skin has become brighter and I am still experiencing the odds spots but not as many. The blemishes however are not as noticeable as before which is great, but they're still visible. I think over time and with constant usage of this product the blemishes will eventually fade.

The Manuka Doctor Foaming Cleanser* is RRP £17.99 and is available from the Manuka Doctor website and Holland and Barrett.
