Farmacy Honey Halo is a creamy thick nourishing face moisturizer packed with buckwheat honey, propolis, & royal jelly blend making it antioxidant rich, soothing, and hydrating. Formulated with a potent ceramide blend that replenishes skin barrier to boost elasticity and smooth fine lines & wrinkles. If you have not tried Farmacy’s Honey collection, you need to. I love reaching for their honey skincare during the winter season.
Honey in skincare also has many skincare benefits, like it is naturally antibacterial, anti-aging properties, lightens scars, heals blemishes, and improves the appearance of your skin overall. Honey Halo key ingredients include shea butter, vitamin E, and fig fruit extract to lock in moisture and plumps skin by leaving it soft and supple. This formula is classified as Sephora Clean and free of known toxic ingredients.

Honey Halo is so popular that it is packaged in 3 different sizes 25mL / 0.8 oz mini, 50mL / 1.7 oz reg, 100mL / 3.4 oz jumbo glass jars. FYI, the larger sizes include a metal spatula and the mini size does not. It is synthetic fragrance free but note this has a strong honey scent that is in all their other honey skincare products. Strong at first but slowly dissipates after application. The honey scent doesn’t bother me.
I have normal to dry sensitive skin and my skin loves this thick creamy texture. It could be too much for those with oily skin. Since it is a thicker formula I use this mostly at night and sometimes in the morning to spot moisturize dry patches. A few pea size dots to my face is more than plenty to hydrate. It sinks in quickly and fast absorbing. Instantly moisturizes and plumps without my face looking greasy slick.
Honey Halo may look thick but it feels weightless after it is applied. This makes my skin feel very nourished and glowing healthy in the morning. A little bit of product goes a long ways so no need to layer on so much. If you have other essences and serums underneath this moisturizer it does not pill which is great. I highly recommend if you need long lasting deep hydration that is breathable on skin.
