5.0 out of 5 stars Very hydrating

A.D. · 20 August 2023

I wanted to try this as it was recommended by a friend, I wasn’t disappointed it’s a lovely product, I loved the feeling of it warming my face, initially I thought it was expensive for a mask, but I honestly would buy again, very pleased with how my skin feels.

From the first use it has been so moisturising and plumping. Perfect for winter time

5.0 out of 5 stars Honey goodness 🍯

K. · 12 June 2022

This product has easily become one of my favourite face masks. It’s very luxurious, fun to use and my skin looks visibly more nourished after using it. What more can you want?The mask comes in a heavy, frosted 117 g glass jar. There is a metal spatula included, the lid of the jar is actually magnetic and holds the spatula in place, great if you’re prone to loosing small objects.The mask itself looks, smells and feels like honey! It’s a very thick product, it starts of as a golden honey colour, but when you massage it onto the face it turns more of a clay white and the consistency is more creamy. You need to apply it on a clean dry skin and then leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off.The current price for this mask (at the time of writing this review) is £53, now I know this is on a higher end, but you literally need a tiny bit as the mask pretty much doubles when massaged onto the skin. It’s a pretty luxurious product and it’s well worth the price in my opinion, especially if you want to treat yourself.The mask itself works really well. I try to put it on about twice a week and every time my skin is glowing! The hydration is well visible, my skin tone also looks a bit more even as well which is a massive plus. The mask is really easy to rinse off as well, I normally tend to avoid rinse off masks as it’s usually a pain to clean them off but this is not the case with the Honey Potion Plus.I’ve only briefly heard of Farmacy brand before, but I must say it’s really growing on me after trying this mask and another product from them.I would 100% recommend this product, I will be repurchasing it ones my current jr is finished, well worth it. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

4.0 out of 5 stars Fancy

This definitely feels like a fancy product. The packaging is high quality - both the box and the jar. The jar is hexagonal, building on the honey theme, and it has a wood effect lid which is actually magnetic. This is handy as it comes with a little metal spatula to scoop the product out; the little spatula might be the sort of thing you lose in a drawer but not here as it sticks to the lid in a quite enticing way!The mask is at first very much the consistency of honey if it was mixed with gum - it was sticky and a bit stringy - I really appreciated having the spatula to use in applying it to my face. Once on there, it wasn’t gross or hard to massage the mask into the white creamy state mentioned on the instructions, quite easy in fact, and the most important thing for me was that it was REALLY easy to wash my hands clean. I felt like I’d have to work at them with soap but water made it melt right off. I left the mask on for about 10-15 minutes and it didn’t make me feel much in particular while it was on (not hot/cold or drying etc) and then I washed it off with a flannel.Here’s the weird bit - while I feel my skin was brighter and more hydrated, it also felt a bit drier too?! It felt almost like the mask worked at a deep level and then I wanted moisturiser for my skin surface too. So I put some on and felt happier. This doesn’t put me off using it, but with the price tag being what it is, it will only be as a treat now and then; the pot is weighty thanks to the glass but it doesn’t hold that much really.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely to Use and Genuinely Hydrating

E.O. · 31 May 2022

This Farmacy Honey Lotion Plus at least has the benefit of looking and smelling different from the plethora of face creams on the market. It has a very thick, almost solid texture, a wonderful fragrance of honey and a rich yellow colour to commend it. It comes in its own box complete with a magnetic metal spatula so that the fingers need never enter the jar making it less messy and more hygienic.So far, so good but what does it actually do? The idea with this formulation of honey, apple extract with ceramides is to spread a layer of the lotion across a cleansed face and then work it into the skin until it transforms itself into a rich lather/cream which you then leave to work for a good fifteen minutes. As you wait you feel a slight tingle-a sign that the moderately astringent exfoliator is at work. When you do wash off the cream it does take a minute or two as it clings to the face, but the results are worth it both in terms of the cleansing and hydration of the skin. The skin is left feeling really smooth with dead skin cells removed but without irritation. There is also a slight firming of the skin and a shine which leaves you feeling good and looking radiant. As a man I am going to use this before shaving because it is great for preparing the skin for the razor and softening the beard-this is a much better bet than pre-shave lotions marketed for men which are full of chemicals and prone to irritate the skin. For women, this would be a great preparation to use after the shower when your make up is removed and before bed to give you real hydration as you sleep.This is not a cheap product by any means, but a little goes a long way, it is lovely to use and offers you some genuine benefits. Well worth trying.

Farmacy = reliable, effective skin-care; honey is a bonus

Super Hydrating and Refreshing!

The Farmacy Hydrating Face Mask is amazing! It instantly leaves my skin feeling soft, refreshed, and deeply hydrated. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it absorbs well without leaving a sticky residue. After using it, my skin looks glowing and feels nourished. It’s perfect for a weekly self-care routine or whenever your skin needs a hydration boost. Highly recommend for anyone looking to pamper their skin!

LOVE IT!!! ♥️

Fantastic mask, so soothing. Hydrates and helps with blemishes. It’s thick and rich but warms just as it says and is easily spreadable on the face. I’ve used it for years and always keep it on hand. Very faint smell that’s soft and warm but not overwhelming at all. Highly recommend!

Very pleasantly surprised by this product. I was taking a chance, and it's very effective, feels great, and you only need about 1/2 scoop with the included metal spatula to cover your entire face. Skin really soft after using!
