Side by Side Comparison of: Wedderspoon

Amazed works great on skin, tastes great in my tea. Bought this due to the many beneficial health and healing properties. Honey has been used for thousands of years, due to its ability to dehydrate infections. Antibiotics are beginning to fail us due to overuse and infections becoming resistant.Medical and pharmaceutical do not want you to find out that manuka honey (tea tree relative), is a fraction of the cost and more efficient to staph infections and many other aliments. The reason this honey works so well is that it kills infections in a different way that can not be beat, drawing the moisture out and not letting the infection be able to survive. Manuka honey has many nutrients, enzymes, antibacterial, etc. Find your brain and do some research on this all natural product. I have also used Medi honey to which was more crystalized both worked awesome on my infection, colds, face, and sore throats went away faster. I will be buying this for the rest of my life. It seems expensive but it is not regular honey. Helps promote your immune system.

I really like this honey! I used to wash my face at night, but i don't like it for my face because it leaves my pores HUGE!! Ha I don't really like that. I can use it as a spot treatment on pimples though and it works well. I also ingest a spoon full occasionally to give my immune system some cleaning.

It won't cure your acne but it works very well significantly minimizing bumps and preventing acne from getting worse. I've suffered from acne since I started my teens so that's been over 20 years, I wish I knew about this product a long time ago. It could have saved me a lot of money and helped my skin from scarring over the years. When I got pregnant, I needed to use something natural since salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide were out of the question. I came across raw honey. I didn't start using manuka honey because I was skeptical that one particular honey would be better, so I tried a cheaper raw honey. It did work but it would take a while. Finally, one week, I was just breaking out really bad and the honey I was using just wasn't working as fast as I would like that I had to go back to using benzoyl peroxide, so I decided to give manuka honey a try. Within one use, my bumps significantly diminished and by the second day, its gone. I leave it on my face for about 20 minutes a night, I have read that you need to leave it on that long for it to truly work. So, after I wash my face with an oil cleanser, I'll pat it dry and rub the honey in circular motion over my face. Then the next day, the bump is significantly reduced that its almost flat; however, It does leave a red mark but that eventually goes away and is easily covered with makeup. Once a week, I'll also use a clay mask for a deep cleansing and the mask also help even out my skin tone.

I've purchased different kinds of manuka honey, but this one is by far the most effective. I use this honey for wound managament for a skin disease I have. I get wounds that don't heal at all - but once I started using manuka honey on them they have started healing. This higher quality honey heals SO much faster than other kinds of I have tried.

This is my goto for almost anything! Cuts, colds, pimples, wrinkles and so much more! I have really put it to the test! I was coming down with a sore throat and I drank it with hot tea, and by the next day GONE. My husband got a nasty cut at work and by the time he got home it was red and swollen, I put the honey on that , by the next day it barely looked like he even had a cut! I use it once a week as a mask and recommended it to my friends son with acne. I hardly ever break out now, and his acne in just 4 masks is almost gone, but the redness was gone in just two days!This REALLY works and it is great for you. The taste is a tad more medicinal but still delicious.

Simply great product.It has stopped the cold, flu and sore throat dead in its tracks at least three times for my children ever since we started using it, around 5 months back. At the onset of the first symptom of cold or flu or sore throat, immediately start the honey dosage.The dosage that we have successfully used is 1/3rd tea spoon, 4-5 times a day during a cold/flu/sore throat episode.In addition to this, we use fresh, raw, crushed garlic with food or any other way. These two (honey & garlic) when used together simply form a winning combination averting the requirement for antibiotics.

I use this honey to heal blemishes on my face rather than consuming it, however it does taste very good. After using over the counter creams, gels and pastes to clear my skin I didn't have any luck. I then did some research and found that raw organic honey was excellent to treat acne, blemishes, acne scars, etc. My skin has never been horrible but I just couldn't go more than two days without either breaking out, or having a few pimples form. I first stopped applying the harmful chemicals on my face which helped the over drying and consecutive breakouts. Then I started using the honey as a facial scrub in the shower, and spot applied it before bed. I couldn't believe how much better my skin looked after only a couple weeks of this process. After doing this for 2 months, my skin healed completely and now I only get a pimple every now and again. I highly recommend giving this product a try if you want some damn good honey or are like me and want to treat the problem so many other people face.

I personally use manuka honey for DIY face masks, but I also love to put it in my tea and smoothies to intensify the flavor. The consistency of this honey is thick and luxurious, and it moisturizes and calms down my irritated skin. Because the consistency is so thick, it is ideal for using as a face mask because it does not drip all over (although it tastes great if you lick it from your chin, haha). I usually mix it with matcha green tea powder or jasmine green tea to give the face mask an extra antioxidant boost. I am happy that the honey is stored in a dark container in order to preserve it and keep it from the sun; although I would prefer it to be in a dark glass jar instead of a dark plastic jar. Despite that, manuka honey is definitely worth the extra money for its wonderful body and skin benefits.

Read on a website after following up on a You Tube Video, that you can use Honey to cleanse your face. After reading several articles, I found out that this brand was the best. So far so good. No complaints. You only need little bit as it is very thick. This container should last me 2 months.I cleanse morning and night. My face seems clearer and smoother. Never dry or dull. My skin was in good condition anyway, but I can see that my face looks refreshed. When I wear makeup, I cleanse with my other cleanser, to remove everything. As, the honey isn't good for removing make up. It also seems to help with the dark circles that are under my eyes. I don't look as tired.The results will be different for everyone. I also use it as a mask, once a week. I leave it on for about 10 minutes. I've only had it for about 2 weeks. I was on vacation for 8 days in the Pacific Northwest and it worked fine. I follow up with SPF moisturize, if I'm going to be out in the sun. Otherwise, I use Aragon oil as a moisturize or I use a small amount of olive oil and coconut oil to moisturize my face.I would purchase it again.

After spine surgery, I had a wound that was not healing. I was put on several antibiotics to no avail. My surgeon told me that if there was no appreciable healing by my next visit, they would have to remove all the hardware, use IV antibiotics, etc. I came home and did an internet search for anything that would help heal my wound. I came across this honey, and it is remarkable. When I went back in five days later, my wound had decreased from about the width of a quarter and around 3/8 inch deep to about the size of a dime, and just past skin deep. My surgeon was very impressed, and asked me what I had done. I wish I had a picture of his face when I told him about Manuka honey! I now keep two jars at all times - One for using in cooking, and the other instead of antibiotic ointment. My son wrecked his motorcycle and had a pretty bad road burn. After about a week it was looking pretty bad, so I finally convinced him to try it - He came over the next day and said he hated to tell me I was right, but the honey had already made a big difference in his leg. It also comes in small individual-size packets, which I take with me now whenever I travel.

I want to tell every one about this honey, my friend is a R.N. and she is up on the latest findings. We were talking about a child that has eczema with MRSA and she said there is only one thing to do for that and it is rubbing Manuka Honey on that eczema. Now I am not involved in anything medical so I cannot say anymore but I know regular honey kills bacteria and can be used internally and externally for many conditions because I use it. If this info can help even one person then it was worth sharing.

I am a big fan of Manuka Honey for my anti-aging skincare routine. Though I've heard about its benefits for almost a decade, I finally purchased it for the first time after reading the Primal Skincare Guide by Liz Wolfe. She convinced me that I should just shell out the cash and get some.Pros: I've used it to treat blemishes (white heads) and as a twice weekly face mask. My skin feels more vibrant and glow-y after using it.Cons: I wouldn't eat it if you're using it for skincare, unless you separate it into two bottles. It doesn't taste very good. It's honey--so be careful to use a headband to keep your hair from getting stuck in it when doing a facial.If you have the money to splurge on yourself, get some Manuka Honey to replace your designer brand facials. You'll do your body a lot more good with this stuff!

Apparently honey makes my face break out. I have tried 3-4 kinds of honey and all cause me to break out instead of calming my face. I stuck with a facial regimen with this honey for almost 60 days and did not get a 'it gets worse before it gets better'. Unfortunately I only got worse and stayed there. I do not blame the honey - it is delicious and so I am just eating it without any apparent side effect. I just cannot use it in a beauty regimen.

whats up w/ renaming it K-factor?? im a fan of the 16+ alot mote that the 12.

This honey is supposed to be super healthful, so I try to keep it on hand, in case we come down with a bug of some kind. Hard to measure how effective it is, but we always get well---I mix it in lemon juice, when serving it to sickos.I have read the higher the number on the Manuka honey, the more effective it is, and the highest number type is quite pricey....this was not the kind with the highest number, so I think I will go for that, ready for the next illness. I'm sure this is very healthful, tho.

I used this on my face as part of a lemon cinnamon concoction. It really helps with blackheads. I repeat this every couple of weeks. I haven't used it for anything else yet

The more I read about Manuka Honey the more I am convinced it is something everyone should have in your home. If you feel that the NATURALl oils and products are something you think "might" work, I have found they do work and will continue using all the natural oils and products that I can.

The Manuka Honey 12+ In my opinion is really good for clearing bad acne. I use it as a cleanser for my face. Starting after the Holidays of last year 2009, after New Years My skin broke out really bad. So i was beginning 2010 with skin that was going out of control. I started using Acne free which contains 2.5 Benzoyl Peroxide which has helped clear my skin in the past but it actually made it worst. then I started using Herpanacine 100 vegicaps supplements and that really broke me out to the max. I had big acne cysts around my jaw line. so I realized the supplements is supposed to do that and it's because i had toxins in my body. Then I started using [...] products because they also use 2.5 BP which helped me before. But I noticed my skin looked dull and tho it was clearing i just hate the fact using chemicals for the rest of my life to help clear my acne. then I used mario Badescu products. i was just willing to find anything to help... so I wanted a natural alternative. i was sick of using chemicals. I found a youtube page where this lady cleared her acne with organic raw honey and a aloe vera plant. so I first bought the 365 Organic Raw Honey from wholefoods which is AWESOME!! which i still use. then she mentioned the manuka raw organic 12+.. so i had to try it.. within three weeks my skin was glowing. So I wash my face with either honey, the 365 organic wildflower Raw honey or wedderspoon raw organic manuka honey 12+.. then pat dry. then at night I use the gel from a aloe vera plant. not aloe vera juice or gels they sell in stores in a container. it's best to use the actual plant and use the gel it has. rub it on your face everynight. it helps with the redness and complexion. it really help make my skin glow. another thing i do as a skin regimen is add 3 tsp of 365 organic raw honey with 1 tsp of cinnamon powder and mix as a paste. i use that as a face mask. put it where u have acne for two weeks! it really works.. i still use it and it helps clear really fast.wash it off after 30 min to 2hrs. another thing that really HELPS!!! is juicing cucumber with apple or pears.. but the main ingredient is the CUCUMBER..to making ur own juice using a blender or a juicer. it's really helping clear my acne. hope it helps u! i added the links below that is saving my skin! good luck![...]

Great product but at this price this should be in glass. Demand it folks, or you will not get it. The price has gone way up on this too. Raw honey has a lot of the same properties, remember that. Wild honey is very good as well.

Wish it was not so expensive. All Manuka honey costs a lot, so it is not the seller's fault.

I bought to help with my acne, as I had read a lot online on how much this had helped many girls that were breaking out. Definitely if you are going to try this buy from amazon and not from whole foods as there is a really big price difference. You can definitely tell that is honey is different then regular honey. It is messy to get used to putting on your face, because it is sticky and you need to make sure you whip the lid and edges otherwise it will get gross after a few uses. I honestly did not stick to the regiment long enough to see, as I started to break out more in areas that I hadn't before, this could of been a purging stage but I wasn't patient enough. I might purchase again and just try on my areas that are scars now with a bit of lemon juice, to see if it will help the collagen and pigmentation.I would try it out if you are a acne suffer as their are many great reviews I read claiming it helped, its all trial error and patience!!

Best described as- "Simply & incredibly delicious".I have been taking it for 1 1/2 weeks now 2X a day. I'm not quite sure as of yet if it's helping my esophagus issues as my brother has claimed; and have read from reviewers here. If nothing else I find it to be of the tastiest and expensive honeys around. Enjoy...''

decent stuff; smells great. I just didn't get the astonishing wound-healing results that some people did. I freely admit the wound I have is bad, and so it's quite a challenge to help it heal up. I'll just keep looking though.I will keep it for smaller wounds. If I try it on one of those I'll update my review.

I was a bit skeptical about this. First off, in the winter time my skin develops folliculitis from the heaters. To top it off, the folliculitis makes my acne flare. So, I bought this Manuka honey in hopes of alleviating the symptoms. It has helped tremendously. My folliculitis has dried up and is almost completely gone AND my acne has been tamed. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it does take a while for it to work. However, I'm sure my symptoms would persist for much longer if it wasn't for this honey. I'm always skeptical of using antibiotics and other harsh medicine just because my body never reacts well to them. I think buying this honey is worth the try. It's a natural and you have nothing to lose except a couple of $$.

Not worth the price

I didn't care for the super strong "pine" taste. It is very healthy though. Wish I could have enjoyed the taste but I just couldn't get past the strong STRONG pine taste.

i did not like the taste of it

It's very expensive and I live in an area that has ample honey. I wish I had done a little research before I purchased. It has a great flavor though and it's honey.....so really what do I have to complain about?

I'm still kind of undecided on this honey. I love the Manuka drops, Thought the honey would be similar in taste...nope. Manuka has wonderful health benefits though. By the spoon, I personally think it is an acquired taste. I've yet to try it in tea or etc. Not sure if putting the Manuka honey in a hot beverage would reduce it's health benefits. Since it is raw honey, it seems to have a grainy texture. I also don't think putting this honey in a plastic jar is the best idea since plastic can leach into the flavor, but it is probably not cost efficient to put in glass. For the price it is a good sized jar.

i read this was the best honey around. used it on my face because of the quality. also ate some. not sure but i think reg organic honey at 1/2 the cost is just as good?

Not UMF certified so who knows exactly where this honey is coming from. Either way can't claim to be Manuka Honey +16 without being verified and certified by the New Zealand board. If you are getting this for skin or medical reasons you just have to go ahead and pay the extra $15 or so to know for a fact that you are getting what you are paying for. It's still good tasting honey so I'm going to use in my smoothies instead. Hope this helps.

Okay, but no bright stars flashing. For the price I would not purchase again. The taste is good.

I don't really know what this honey is. I wanted to try something new. The flavor is truly different and has some kind of aftertaste I don't even know how to describe. I giving it 3 starts because I don't know if maybe that is the intended flavor, if it is, it should be 5 stars with a little warning for people who don't know it.

If 24+ is too potent, this one probably works just fine. I need something stronger than KFactor 16 -- only reason for 3 star review.

Not worth the hype nothing special won't buy again.

In a quest to find relief from cystic acne, I have left no stone unturned! Everything from sulfur to zinc, antibiotics to creams, I've used them all. Manuka honey, harvested from the hard working bees of far far away New Middle Zealearth, the magical nectar of the Manuka plant practically oozes from this honey.Does it work?Kinda. I mean, for skin conditions, it seemed to reduce some redness and swelling, but it's thick and sticky and can cause your skin to sweat under the suffocating glaze of honey. If mixed with other lotions or used sparingly, it appears to have some effect on my cystic acne and unexplained red patches, but for day to day acne it appeared to do NOTHING. All in all, I can't say it's much more than a placebo effect for my skin.Sometimes all you want is a placebo effect.

Doesn't taste so good and after doing research I found that this was the low end Manuka Honey which is less beneficial.

I'm not sure what the point is. I was hoodwinked into buying this by Michelle Phan, who said it instantly cures sore throats. I know it was dumb to believe, but I thought it was worth a shot. If you can get good local sage honey, don't bother with this.

seemed like it would have more honey i look at other bottles 8 oz and think it would never fit in that bottle

I bought this highly over priced for a TINY jar of honey after suggestions that a spoonful of this on an empty stomach followed by a mastic pill, would cure my ulcer. I haven't noticed any difference and the jar is almost done. I was going to order one more to give it a lil longer to work but then I noticed the price jumped $2 freaking bucks since my last order and since I never buy things that jump in price more than 25 cents ea increase, now this is off my list of things I'll buy. grumble, grumble

I ordered for the first time the Raw Manuka Honey and picked Wedderspoon brand because it looked like a good quality product . I was very disappointed when I found the package on a hot day ,warm and in a soft plastic jar. I know from beekeepers that raw honey has powerful enzymes that are not supposed to be stored in plastic containers , only glass. It defeats the purpose of such powerful miraculous honey to be put in a plastic container. If I knew , I would have never ordered. The honey tastes great otherwise . I hope they reconsider the packaging in the future.

The taste is great but the K Factor isn't enough for what I ordered it for. I need a 20

Not god as a healing of a wound agent.

No

I have no idea why this honey has high rating. I purchased it once and regretted. It's not pure honey. It has sugar, and the bottle is tiny comparing to the size. I find the US brand Raw Honey has better quality and way better price.

The seal was broken when I got it for some reason & I didn't notice that it did anything for my stomach which is why I purchased it. But I did like the taste, just not sure I will pay that much for honey again :)

I've never seen any effect on my skin as reported. It is, however, tasty.

bottle cap is made poorly so honey is so sticky you cannot reopen the bottle. crap product

This is unacceptable , the bottle was opened and with a half-used jar of honey.

Way too thick and application was messy.

Not sure if the product went bad because it was frozen, it was sent during the big storm in January, or of the expiration date which was not on the jar. Amazon was AWESOME and refunded my money. Thank you!!

Everyone swore buy this honey so thought I would give it a try but truth is it did nothing for me.

Nothing special and way, way, WAY too expensive for such a tiny amount. It's no different than the cheapy stuff at the grocery store.

My mistake...I really like Wedderspoon Manuka honey and use it regularly. I always buy the 17.6 oz size from Wedderspoon and pay around $34 for it. Recently, I mistakenly ordered the 8.8 oz size from another vendor. Big mistake! Thought I was getting the larger amount for around $31. Well, I'll be more careful in the future. I've just paid almost the full price for over 17 oz and got only 8.8. Thought Amazon pricing and vendors were more reliable and honest with their pricing. Be careful, Manuka honey fans! You can easily pay way too much!

This was too strong for my sensitive skin/acne prone skin.

Did nothing for me! No anti-bacterial action. I was testing it for white tongue. The taste it great though.

I purchased this product with the intentions that it would be a great mask/great product to moisturize and potentially help my eczema. I have done much research and could hardly find any negative reviews or bad reactions. I went ahead and mixed the manuka honey with oatmeal and yogurt. After removing, my skin felt soft but overnight, I broke out immensely with several dots on both sides of my cheeks. At first, I thought they were just a typical break out but it didn't feel like acne, just dots. I waited a day or so before trying again because I wasn't sure if it was the yogurt (I have tried an oatmeal, egg white, and normal honey mask before and it never did this). Last night, I used the manuka honey on my face for about 10 minutes (by itself) to test. My face started itching and I rinsed my face. My entire chin had raised rashes on it, so with conclusion, I believe I am allergic to something in this particular honey. I don't want to prevent people from thinking it's a bad product but warn to test a small spot on their arm or side of face first. I am a little disappointed due to the price of the honey (however, it's not bad compared to other versions).

Not fond of the taste.
