Review of Living Nature Manuka Honey Rescue Gel
Sandra C.

Packaging: Living Nature Manuka Honey Rescue Gel for treating spots. The packaging material is recyclable and it is a hemispheric plastic tube. The design is quite pretty and modern with the natural beige colour. However, I really hate the opening of the tube. It is a tiny rectangular hole which after you squeeze the tube; the gel that is left near the opening hardens and keeps blocking it. I have to use a skewer to unblock it.

Scent: Scent is unpleasant; it has a strong herbal smell which reminds me of the stuff that old ladies use. I think it’s mainly because of the Manuka Honey in it as do all Living Nature Products.

Ingredients: The ingredients in this spots treatment gel are quite mild. Unlike many spots treatment products which uses chemicals like salicylic acid (can cause irritation and burning), Benzoyl peroxide (can cause dryness and flaky skin) and sulphur; Manuka Honey is famous for its natural antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties to treat spots effectively. There are no harsh preservatives or fragrance either.

Result: I rarely have spots as my skin tends to be very dry so I cannot really test if this spots treatment gel is effective on acne prone skin. However, when the weather starts getting warmer, my skin does have some reaction. There were tiny whiteheads in my forehead when I was a bit stressful, I applied some of the Rescue Gel on the area and the whiteheads were calmed down. Not only that this gel can treat spots, I found that it also helps to soothe allergy to my skin. I noticed a reaction on my chin one morning; I thought I might give the gel a go and apply some on it. In the afternoon, the spot was much smaller and didn’t look as red as before. I think for a 50ml of spot treatment that soothes minor skin allergy, this natural spots treatment gel is a good alternative.

Pros:

Does its job in treating small spots.

Not drying.

Full of natural ingredients that are proved to be antibacterial.

Cons:

Smell is awful.

Gel always get blocked in the opening of the packaging.
