In reply to Jasmine. Jasmine, honey is sticky so it will be unpleasant to use. Plus, its pH can be a bit high. Why not just use oils, like jojoba instead?

I read a lot about using honey as a natural cleanser (from BuzzFeed and other zero-waste free blogs).
They did mention that the pH level is quite similar to our face and they mentioned to use raw-honey out of others.
What’s your thought in this about using honey as a natural cleanser?

In reply to Alan.

Hi Alan, I hear ya! Paula has very high standards and is capable of giving a bad review just because she doesn’t like one ingredient – without taking into consideration how it’s used in the formula.

Having said that, I’m with Paula on this one. I wouldn’t have given all the products a 1 star rating but they’re definitely average. They’re basic moisturisers with just a sprinkle of antioxidants. Even the bee-derived ingredients are used in tiny concentrations. I’m sure they’re wonderful moisturisers that make your skin very soft and smooth but for that price, I’d expect some anti aging power as well and they don’t have it. 🙁

Hi Gio

What do you think about Guerlain’s “Abielle Royale” honey skincare collection? I’ve read the reviews on Paula’s Choice and seems like she doesn’t like any of the Abielle Royale items and rated only 1 star. I would like to hear about your opinions (since it seems like Paula doesn’t like almost anything else besides her own products, so I am not sure her opinions are objective and fair anymore). I really like the Abielle Royale face oil
