Manuka Honey Wound Cream – Non-Sticky, Fast-Absorbing First Aid Skin Care for Minor Cuts, Burns, Scrapes & Blisters – 1.75 oz

I got this to try and relieve my 90 yo mom's shingles lesions. She cannot use most pain relievers and this bout was far worse than her first. She has sensory issues and her skin is so delicate that it is hard to find anything she can tolerate long enough for it to work. I've used gel-based manuka honey products before myself with decent results, but I do not care for the stickiness and drag of the gel ointment on my skin. This is superior. The cream is dispensed in a small bead, which makes applying a thin layer far easier. It is non greasy and smoothly emollient, virtually unscented which I think is a good thing. I could apply it to her sensitive side and back and just the application was better than other medicinal creams. It gets absorbed fine--not too rapidly or slowly. She has only used it for two days but thinks she is getting more and better relief than before. I cannot post the appearance of her lesions, but I think they were looking less angry in that pair of days. It may seem a little pricey, but at just about an ounce and a half it is comparable to the other medically prepared honey product I had used, plus the delivery system means no waste. I am a scientist and I am well aware that there are some natural products that may have questionable efficacy (remember that Botulinum is 'natural' ) but the data are pretty compelling as evidence for the healing properties of honey. I recommend this product.

This product is super gentle and works great. I use it on myself and even my dogs sometimes. It helps heal wounds quickly and with minimal scarring. Love it!

My dog had a deep severe ulcer that would not heal and after 21 days of using this 2-3 times daily it completely healed! Love that it’s not super sticky like real honey!

Works great.

It absorbs quickly and uses natural ingredients to promote skin healing. I got this after going through way too may honey ointments that feel more gel-like and boxes of non-stick wound pads to keep the honey off clothes. So overall, better and easier to use than the other sticky honey ointments. More cost efficient in the long run. But might have a higher risk for allergic reaction, plus slightly less effective for healing speed.

Superior skin care if you’ve suffered a significant wound

Great stuff! I used it on a couple of minor cuts and was really happy with how it helped them hasten healing. Was I ever glad I had it on hand when I had a freak incident. Was washing dishes and suddenly got searing pain in my finger. Only after a misguided knife attempt to free my ring from my finger and an ER visit as it kept swelling, did I learn the ring had an invisible-to-the-eye break, had opened and then closed on my flesh. The doc was mystified as well until he figured it out! Anyway, my failed knife adventure and puncture wound led to an understated bit of skin mangle, and the ER doc armed me with several special bandages to get me through to the next day until I could purchase more. Got home, used the honey stick with a fresh bandage and waited for an improbable miracle. Next morning … whoa! My skin had healed! It had completely closed up with the only evidence being discoloration at the scene of the crime. Day after that even the discoloration was gone.

This product is amazing! I've never used anything that works so well. I really love the smell I think it's kind of neutral with just a little bit of a hint of honey. It saved me and the winter time when my hands and face get really dry. I also used it when I had a little bike crash and had some skin rashes from what we refer to as road rash. It healed the road rash quickly with no scars. As a physician I recommend this to my patients all the time.
