Oh Honey Honey

So going back a few weeks I was having my usual skin dilemma and decided to cave into the hype (as always) and invest in some Manuka Doctor skincare which I blogged about here. I have decided to use it and test it out for a while before I decided to give a full review, I do think especially when its a skincare routine for a specific problem it needs time to work.

So as I was saying I bought it and thought as it had been raved about by many celebs It must have something good to offer. At first it did the cleanser cleaned right down into my skin and made it feel fresh and oil free, the lotion sank in really well and I didn't have much issue with oil (I'm usually ready to re-apply my makeup after an hour my skin is that oily).

After a couple of weeks I started to notice my face was getting slightly tingly and a bit sore in patches, then one morning I woke up and my face was so dry it was seriously painful. It didn't look too red but it was definitely aggravated, anything I put on burned my skin. As I had only been using this I knew it was these products that had done it. I had to leave my skin for a few days free of all things except cold water and a bit of E45.

 I ended up buying a Vitamin E bar which I have blogged about here, as my skin needed some relief from the burn I was feeling. I have to say this little bar of soap was a miracle worker for me, it cleansed my skin but took away that dry itchy feeling after a while. I decided to use this along with the Manuka Doctor, thinking maybe if I use the foam cleanser and lotion in the morning and Vitamin E bar and my favourite Nivea Regenerating Night Cream at night it may work. It has finally I think due to the fact that my skin is oily but sensitive these acne products and me don't mix, but I didn't want to give up hope! I will probably just use this till it runs out soon and then try something else as this brand is certainly not a friend of mine.

Have you tried these products? did you get a better result than I did?
