A 58-year-old shopper with “well established wrinkles” has said Manuka Doctor’s Cashmere Cream “actually works”. The anti-ageing moisturiser, originally £20, is currently on offer for £14.50.
The cream is designed specifically for age-defying skincare, combining Purified Bee Venom, Manuka Honey and Shea Butter in a silky formula that melts into the skin. Manuka Doctor recommends using the cream both morning and evening, so it can easily be incorporated into a regular skincare routine.
Shopper reviews and clinical trial results
On the Manuka Doctor website, more than 1,000 people have left reviews following their own results with the Cashmere Cream. One pleased shopper wrote: “This is an affordable moisturiser that gives good hydration throughout the day, even in cold windy conditions outside. A little goes a long way and the cream is easily absorbed straight away - no greasy tacky feeling on the skin.”
Another wrote: “Being 58 I had quite a few well established wrinkles and yes this actually works.” A third simply wrote: “I love this cream, it is light and nourishing. Makes my skin feel healthy and cared for.”
However, one mixed reviewer commented: “Lovely feel to this cream, easily applied as not thick and heavy. Only one negative remark - I found the perfume too strong, even though I am a perfume person and liked the smell. So a milder perfume would be better.”
Regardless, many shoppers have highly praised the Cashmere Cream, like this one that wrote: “This moisturiser is lovely, it's rich and creamy, it sinks into your skin beautifully and leaves skin so soft and smooth. Well worth the money.”
Clinical trial and alternative options
The brand also tested the cream in a clinical trial involving 30 women aged between 35 and 65, assessing its impact on skin firmness and elasticity after 15 minutes and again following 28 days of continued use. After a single application, 70 per cent of participants said their skin felt firmer, smoother and more radiant, while after 28 days, 97 per cent reported a positive improvement in skin firmness and elasticity.
If Manuka Honey is an ingredient your skin responds well to, another option to consider is L’Oréal Paris’ Age Perfect Intensive Renourish Manuka Honey Day Cream available for £19.99 from Boots. It offers a richer moisturising option for those looking to nourish their complexion while targeting the signs of ageing.
Alternatively, Rodial's Bee Venom Little Luxuries Kit, includes four travel-sized products designed to firm and smooth the appearance of skin. The set is currently £75, down from £163, offering a chance to try several products from the range for considerably less.
