“Eczema area on foot improving after using the balm for 2 weeks.”
We usually think of honey as something to spread on toast, but Mānuka honey is celebrated for its antibacterial, antioxidant and moisturising qualities. This makes it a potent ingredient for nourishing the skin, which is why wellness brand Melora has incorporated premium New Zealand Mānuka honey into their skincare collection.
Created to help skin cope with seasonal changes, Melora’s Mānuka Skincare range offers a straightforward, naturally-powered approach to looking after your skin with dehydration, irritation and environmental damage to contend with. The collection, featuring a face wash, moisturising cream and healing balm, has received glowing reviews from users dealing with skin issues like psoriasis, eczema and rosacea.
Melora’s 3-in-1 Bundle, containing the Mānuka Moisturiser, Purifying Mānuka Wash and Restorative Mānuka Balm, is presently 30% off, with customers paying £38.98 instead. The moisturiser normally retails at £18.99, but this offer means buyers can essentially get it for under £13.

Our skin encounters numerous challenges during warmer weather, from heightened sun exposure to dryness triggered by travel and air conditioning. Melora’s Mānuka Skincare range utilises this ingredient to help people preserve comfort, hydration and confidence without depending on complex regimens.
It should be emphasised, though, that these are not substitutes for medical treatments. Melora’s 3-in-1 Bundle features three daily essentials that cleanse, moisturise and repair without any unnecessary fuss, reports the Daily Record.
3 in 1: Mānuka Moisturiser + Purifying Mānuka Wash + Restorative Mānuka Balm
The set contains the brand’s Purifying Mānuka Face Wash, Mānuka Moisturiser Cream and Restorative Mānuka Balm. Powered by premium New Zealand Mānuka honey, the trio is designed to cleanse, hydrate and help support the skin barrier,
By incorporating these products into a straightforward yet powerful routine, users can wash away the day’s grime, restore hydration levels and encourage skin renewal. The trio of products can be combined for both morning and evening regimens. As with any fresh skincare addition, conducting a patch test on the inner forearm is advised prior to initial application.
Mānuka honey is crafted by bees in New Zealand that feed on the indigenous Leptospermum scoparium plant, commonly referred to as the Mānuka bush. It stands apart from ordinary honey due to its levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), the element behind its antimicrobial properties.
Mānuka honey is also used in hair treatments – the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Shampoo (£5.59 at Holland and Barrett) is designed to work deep within hair strands to restore elasticity, while repairing and nourishing follicles. It additionally promotes a healthy scalp.
Beyond being a wellness component, it serves as a natural enhancement to daily skincare routines, with Mānuka honey pulling moisture towards the skin and helping lock it in throughout the day. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe redness and irritation, making it particularly suitable for skin that’s parched, delicate, or susceptible to eczema and minor blemishes.
Following trials of the Melora Skincare range, one individual suffering from psoriasis revealed: “I have psoriasis and I have been using creams etc from the doctors and nothing seemed to make a difference. After using this daily for 2 weeks I’m so happy to say it’s made a massive improvement. My skin has softened and cleared!”
A person battling eczema commented: “I have severe eczema. Many other creams help but Melora Manuka Honey moisturiser seems to be able to calm and heal the ‘break out’ significantly faster.
“Old pigmented scars are also lighter in colour despite using the cream for a few weeks. So the cream is helpful in the acute as well as the chronic phase.” Another man wrote: “Best moisturiser for eczema I have found in four years of trying.”
Meanwhile, a user dealing with rosacea explained: “Having suffered with rosacea for years and spent a fortune on a variety of different creams and face washes, I can honestly say that this is the best product I have used.
“The face wash has a pleasant smell and a little goes a long way. Even though I have only been using this for about a week, the redness on my forehead, nose and chin have definitely improved. Also my skin generally looks better!”
One customer remarked: “I was disappointed it has little or no fragrance.” Nevertheless, this actually makes the range more suitable for those with sensitivities to strong scents.
Someone else appreciated the aroma of the products, stating: “I have been using Melora manuka honey face moisturiser for a while and keep buying it because it is the nicest moisturiser I have ever used.
“It smells lovely, sinks into my skin so easily yet still leaves it moisturised all day long without it being greasy. I am sure this moisturiser has had a very positive effect on my skin because it looks so much nicer now at aged 66.”
For an anti-ageing Mānuka honey skincare purchase, L’Oreal’s Night Cream Age Perfect Intensive Overnight Cream (£19.99 at Amazon) is created with Mānuka honey to repair and Calcium B5. It should be applied before bedtime to tackle mature and very dry skin while you sleep.
Beyond skincare, Melora’s fresh Sparkling Mānuka Honey Infusions help people feel good inside and out. Made with New Zealand UMF 7+ Mānuka honey, a minimum of 145mgo and a teaspoon per can – the fresh sparkling infusions broaden the brand’s ethos beyond skincare, providing another straightforward way to enjoy the daily benefits of Mānuka honey.
Options for the £3.49 cans include Blend of Manuka, Cinnamon and Apple, Blend of Manuka, Chilli, Ginger and Tumeric, Blend of Manuka, Lemon, Pepper and Apple Cider Vinegar and Blend of Manuka, Raspberry, Ginger and Apple.
