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!

I originally bought Manuka when visiting Australia and it was much more medicinal tasting, strongly piney-flavored,and dark amber colored. So if you look at other reviews of Manuka honey exported to the United States, you have to wonder whether or not this is the traditional Manuka honey sold in New Zealand. Maybe North American sugary sweet-loving sensibilities preclude us from buying the harsher tasting dark Manuka honeys. I am no expert and am not sure about this observation, except to trust this label. With that said, this honey tastes wonderfully sweet, rich and mellow, is thick and creamy, with a slight hint of a deep piney flavor as a topnote. This is the sugar and the medecine rolled into one! I like the fact that it is organic as well. I also bought the higher active UMF level Wedderspoon Raw Organic Organic Manuka Honey Active 16+, 17.6-Ounce Jar

A friend of mine developed an infection on her arm (probably due to a cat scratch) and the usual triple antibiotic ointment wasn't doing a thing. The infection was spreading up her arm. So I told her to apply the Wedderspoon Manuka Honey once a day with a band aid to cover. Two weeks later, the infection was healed. This is my first experience using the honey after reading studies about its effective use on staph infections.

This product on Amazon had the best price by far.

Everything about this product is of the highest quality.

The only thing I have to add to these glowing reviews is more product information: the honey is shipped in a plastic -- not glass -- jar, so you needn't worry about glass breakage during shipment. It's an amber color and opaque, unlike most commercial honeys.

I also was concerned that since the honey is from New Zealand that it would take a long time to arrive at my door, but this was not the case. The product arrived promptly and in excellent condition.

One thing I would have changed would be the Active + number: I think I should have purchased the 16+ instead and will do so in the future.

I'm not the type who buys a lot of stuff like this, but I read an article in a magazine extolling its benefits and I thought I'd give it a try. Now I'm a believer. I'm back to buy my second jar. I add a spoonful to my tea every morning, and I just feel good all day. I have lots more energy, and this from a mom with a large farmhouse to take care of, a part-time job, active volunteer jobs and a new puppy (I'm really busy). Plus I did not get sick at all this winter, which is amazing to me. My husband and daughter caught colds, plus I volunteer at the school library so I'm exposed to lots of germs, but if I felt like something was coming on I doubled my dose and it never turned into anything. I also put it on my finger where a splinter turned into an infection, and one day later it was all better - more effective than neosporin. I also have had less adult acne than before - despite a lot of stress (my trigger).
The taste is so-so, better than medicine but not as tasty as regular honey. I wouldn't buy it as a sweetener, I consider it a useful supplement that doesn't taste offensive. But bottom-line, I'm back for more.

I was intrigued by all the reviews on this product and decided to try it myself. I was pleased. The taste in the 12+ is more strong than the 16+. My daughter woke up with a sore throat and congestion and I immediately began giving her 1tsp. a day. Within 2 days she was back to normal!

The taste is very strong, but savoring it slowly is key and is very delicious!

And at this price it is a good deal I think.

This Manuka honey is great for small cuts and it really helps sore throats too!

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.

This honey is great, I've used it in my tea, which tastes great, and I also sometimes just take a little half tbsp and it really helps with my digestion. I use it as a skin care product, A layer on my face and wait about 20 minutes then rinse. I've also mixed it with himalayan pink salt crystals and made an exfoliating mask. My skin is much less irritated. I have had acne and itchy skin for years, this honey feels like heaven on my skin.
