What I got: I was sent the 50ml bottle of the Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Repairing Skin Cream. The Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Repairing Skin Cream results proved that it really does works, an independent clinical trial carried out on 23 women who applied the Repairing Skin Cream twice a day for four weeks had key results such as skin texture feeling nourished, smoother and looking rejuvenated, skin tone feeling firmer and fine line and wrinkles were visibly reduced. This unique formulation is a lightweight non-greasy cream which delivers a perfect balance of intense hydration and purified nutrients to help accelerate cell regeneration, repairing the skin’s natural balance. Containing a world-first combination of Purified Bee Venom (PBVTM), moisturising UMF 18+ Manuka Honey, Avocado Oil and Vitamin E, the Repairing Skin Cream deeply nourishes the skin, stimulating collagen growth and renewing damaged skin cells, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin is left looking visibly younger in just four weeks.

How I find it: After cleansing, toner and my essence lotion (using Kiehl’s at the moment – its fantastic!) during the day I would use a full pump of this cream all over my face. At night I would use a serum before this. One pump is enough for the entire face with a bit to spar on my neck. It has a really interesting gel-cream texture that kind of resembles a silicon-based primer. Smoothing and slightly thick but not slippery or hard to spread at all. Once it is applied, it sinks into the skin and makes my skin feel nice and smooth without being too moisturising nor mattifying. It also smells amazingly nice!
Overall: Absolutely love the scent and texture if this cream! It is actually quite unexpected because none of other Manuka Doctor products smell this way and it smells nothing of the Manuka Oil which is not a very commonly loved scent. The texture of the cream is really really nice. I use a full pump all over my face and neck and it spreads like a dream with no residue on the skin or hands. It feels smooth after applying and my skin feels fresh yet moisturised…. almost like a barrier on my skin! I have had no break outs but I did notice that if I use this after my PMD treatment, it does give me a tingling feeling but that disappears soon after.
