Ultra Pure Review




Hello my loves and welcome back to my blog:) It feels like ages since I have blogged and especially a product review blog post!!! I need to get my act together and get back on the blogging wagon!!! No better way to get back on it than with these amazing products I was so kindly sent by Ultra Pure. 

Who are Ultra Pure? 

So for many of you who may not have heard of Ultra Pure before they are an Irish company based in Co, Mayo, they have been around for over 15 years and have produced top quality,  natural skin care and body care products including oils, creams and gels. 
You can purchase these products in most pharmacies nationwide and the UK. Pharmacies including Ryan's Pharmacy in Edenderry :) 

So I was kindly sent these products to try out. I was kind of familiar with the products name, however I had never actually tried them so I was quite apprehensive as to how I would find them. I have to say I have fallen in love with these toners!!! I would suffer with dry to combination skin with breakouts at certain times of the month which are a total pain!!! I have found since using the Rose water in particular has completely balanced out my skin and I am not breaking out half as much as I had been previous. 

So the products I so kindly received are the following: Witch Hazel toner, Witch Hazel and Rose water toner, Rose Water toner and Rose water and Glycerine toner. I will give a description of each product below and what their properties are. 

What is Rose Water ?


Rose Water has been used for centuries 
for skin care and even medicinal purposes. It is a completely natural antiseptic and also contains an astringent called phenyl ethonone meaning it reduces inflammation and irritation of the skin. It can be used to balance the PH of the skin meaning it will balance out the appearance of the skin if you are prone to acne or blemishes. 


Rose water and Glycerine 



So these 2 ingredients combined together are beneficial for both skin and hair!! Don't you just love a multi use product :) It cleanses and moisturizes the skin, leaving it feeling clean, soft and refreshed . There is a very delicate scent from the rose petals  too which just tops it off :) You can also use this product as a facial cleanser and can make a face mask from its ingredient too :)  I really do love this one in particular as it just soothes my skin so much, I use it every day and night after cleansing my skin and I can really feel and see the difference myself. 

What is Witch Hazel?


Witch hazel is an astringent produced from the leaves and bark of the witch hazel shrub. These products are 100% pure and natural. The plant extract was used for medicinal purposes for years and years and today can be found in majority skin care products, particularly in toners.  Like the Rose water products, 

Witch Hazel and Rose Water 


So this toner can be used on all skin types. Again all of these toners are suitable for the most sensitive skin including skin which may be prone to eczema or acne. This one is extremely soothing, refreshing and leaves the skin feeling toned. 

So overall I was 100% impressed with these products and would definitely recommend  them to anyone! Espcially someone who may be prone to skin condition s or sensitive skin. 

Have you tried any of these products? IF so please do share in the comments or on any of my social media links below :) 

I want to say a massive thank you to ITWBN for this amazing collaboration with Ultra Pure and also to Ultra Pure company too for the fantastic opportunity to try these products :) You can find ITWBN on the following social media platfroms, you should most definitely go check them out they're fab!!! 


You can also find Ultra Pure online too here. Their website is full of information about the amazing products they produce :) 

Thank you all so much for reading and I won't leave it as long to blog again I promise :D 

Until next time 
Lots of Love
