Melora's Mānuka honey moisturiser, part of a 3-in-1 bundle currently 30% off, has been hailed as the best product by a rosacea sufferer. The bundle, which includes a face wash, moisturiser, and balm, is priced at £38.98, bringing the moisturiser's effective cost to under £13.
What is Mānuka honey?
Mānuka honey, produced by bees in New Zealand from the Leptospermum scoparium bush, is known for its antibacterial and hydrating properties. Its potency comes from methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound that gives it antibacterial strength. The honey is also used in hair care, such as the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Shampoo, which aims to restore suppleness and nourish the scalp.
Customer reviews highlight effectiveness
Users with skin conditions have reported significant improvements. A psoriasis sufferer noted a "massive improvement" after two weeks of daily use, with softened and cleared skin. An eczema sufferer found the moisturiser calmed and healed breakouts faster, while also lightening old pigmented scars. A rosacea sufferer stated, "I can honestly say that this is the best product I have used," noting reduced redness on the forehead, nose, and chin within a week.
Product details and usage
The trio is designed to cleanse, hydrate, and support the skin barrier. A patch test on the inner forearm is recommended before use. While one buyer was disappointed by the lack of fragrance, this makes the range suitable for those sensitive to strong scents. Another customer, aged 66, praised the moisturiser for leaving skin hydrated without greasiness and improving its appearance.
Beyond skincare
Melora also offers Sparkling Mānuka Honey Infusions, priced at £3.49 per can, in flavours such as Cinnamon and Apple, and Chilli, Ginger and Turmeric. These contain UMF 7+ Mānuka honey with a minimum of 145mgo. The 30% discount on the skincare range is available on the Melora website.
