We have always been asked the question,"In terms of Manuka Honey vs regular honey for acne, which is better?" To that question, our straightforward answer would be that it depends on the individual's financial budget. Manuka, well known for its high anti-bacterial properties and that it is highly regulated for quality, is always a better choice than most "table honeys".
