skinChemists Advanced Bee Venom Day Moisturiser, 50 Gram

Fantastic product!

Completely useless product, feels like Vaseline. Tried to find other uses for this but ended up just discarding it...

Fantastic product , I would recommend as it works for me. I must add that I bought heavily discounted as the full price is a bit much

Terrible!

Excelente producto. Muy suave, gentil y con excelentes resultados aun en piel muy sensible y propensa a alergias. Los resultados son visibles a los pocos minutos de la aplicación y me ha servido para dar un discreto y sexy boost a mis labios, también. Fácil aplicación.

BEE VENOM==========It's a premium skin care range which looks OK, Is packaged OK and claims to be used by the royal family. (who? which royal family?- I don't know)WHAT IS A FACE SERUM AND HOW DO THEY WORK=========================================Face serums are lightweight moisturisers that penetrate deeper to deliver 'active ingredients' into your skin. The most expensive serums aren't always the best, but they do tend to contain higher quality, more concentrated ingredients.They vary astronomically in price. Some are reasonable BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT rule to follow with serums: don't overuse the product.More isn't always better. Because serums are typically 'very concentrated', a little goes a long way.Unlike oils and moisturisers which tend to sit on the skin to provide a protective layer, serums serums contain particles that are small enough to penetrate the skin and reach the epidermis with a direct hit of the 'active ingredients.ACTIVE INGREDIENTS=================Some are better at targeting specific concerns: brown spots, lines, etc. There is no single "best" serum, so try a few and see what agrees with YOU. You'll read many reviews says "DON'T BUY THIS BECAUSE.." (They're always in capitols too) some active ingredients agree with people, whilst some don't. If you know an active ingredient is included that you don't get on with try an alternate.TIPS===Choose based upon your skin type and concerns.Whilst you will certainly see an improvements straight away as they usually sooth redness and brighten the skinIf you stick with a serum you'll see the signs damage/ageing fade and skin will look much healthier and firmer.Serums are best used after cleansing and when applied to dry, cool skin. And daily.I think they're best applied in the morning too.Don't stop using a moisturiser.Like the song says Wear Sunscreen.

Assessment by my wife, who found it so-so despite the price (or perhaps because of it).“This bee venom night moisturiser is expensive, seriously expensive, and I really did expect dramatic results from it. However, I have now used it before going to bed four nights running, and I can honestly see no difference whatsoever - but I shall persevere.It looks very good in the bathroom cabinet, pearlescent and silver (a product this expensive should have an attractive look), and it has a good push-button action, enabling you to get a small measured amount on to your fingers to apply. It is white and not runny at all, and actually has a good feel to it. I used one very small amount for each side of my face. You do get quite a lot of the product, 50 ml, as it is quite a tall bottle so far better for testing than a small tube.I had to massage it in a lot with little circular motions, but it tended to smear rather than be absorbed into my skin, which took some time. It would/will be interesting to see how it performs in the very cold of winter and the heat of the summer, when a difference would possibly be more noticeable.The blurb says that it instantly plumps up the skin, but suggests you use it at night when you probably need it the least for appearance’s sake. Yes, the moisturising effects are better employed at night in a fairly constant environment, but it does seem strange that it is suggested for night use to reduce your age lines.The smell is slightly chemical, with a vague smell of honey but only I could smell the honey, my family could just smell the chemicals and none of them could see any difference in my wrinkles and fine lines whatsoever.In my opinion my facial skin is not softer, or less wrinkly, no fine lines blurred. It does actually feel quite odd, almost as if I am wearing a face mask. which is not unpleasant but I am aware of having the product on my face. It probably is better moisturised than usual but I can get results with a far cheaper product."

Als ich die Creme ausgepackt habe, fiel sofort die Mogelpackung auf. Obwohl nur 50ml drin sind, wirkt der Behält viel größer. Sowas mag ich eigentlich überhaupt nicht! Aber. Der Inhalt! Die weiße Creme hat keinen wirklichen Duft und zieht völlig rückstandslos nach 3 - 4 Sekunden in die Haut ein. Ich habe wirklich den Eindruck, dass mein Gesicht viel glatter ist, und vor allem: Besser durchblutet! In der Creme ist ja Bienengift (Achtung, nicht für Bienengiftallergiker geeignet!) , womöglich tut dies seine Wirkung. Ich bin total begeistert. Als Unterlage für Makeup funktioniert die Creme sehr gut. Ich überlege, ob ich sie mir später weiter kaufe. Sie ist nicht günstig, aber ich bin derart zufrieden, dass ich das Geld auch ausgeben würde. Nur eins ist zu bemängeln: Den Hinweis, dass die Creme nicht für Bienengift-Allergiker geeignet ist, hätte man deutlicher auf der Packung anbringen müssen. Bienengift ist eine ungewöhnliche Zutat für eine Gesichtspflege, daher würde ich als Allergiker jetzt nicht unbedingt darauf achten, ob der Inhaltsstoff verwendet wird.Nachtrag: Mittlerweile ist Mitte Oktober und die Creme ist immer noch nicht alle, obwohl ich sie täglich zwei mal benutze. Man kommt also mit 30ml sehr weit.

I have to admit I'm still not sold on the idea of a product using bee venom but this has a pleasant honey like smell and I found it spreads very nicely over the skin so you don't need to use a huge amount to cover both your face and neck. The cream takes a little while to fully soak in and my face looks quite shiny after I first apply it but that fades with time and doesn't bother me when I'm using it before bed, it does mean I wouldn't add it to my morning routine though.As for an anti-aging affect I can't say I noticed a huge difference over my other, much less expensive, face creams. This product seems very overpriced for what it is and I'm happy to stick with my cheaper options that do just as good a job

I admit to having some initial misgivings about this product as at first it left my skin dry and dull and I didn't much care for the smell.My gf, on the other hand, liked it from the outset, and I now have to agree that it really does seem to make a difference to the skin. It still leaves it quite dry on both of us (which is surprising as it's "infused with high concentration of Bee Venom and Manuka Honey to smooth and plump, whilst MOISTURISING and revitalizing the skin"...), but it also seems to clean out some of the blackheads and firm the skin - erasing some of the signs of age and weather wear.The packaging and luxurious look, feel and ease of use of the dispenser is also positive. It even comes with a little cap to apply to avoid spillage when on the move.It's a lovely product and one I would recommend as long as the price is around the current price level or maybe even slightly higher, but the ridiculous RRP of £145 or even more on their own website, is taking it too far. People are of course free to spend their money as they please, so I try to ignore this massive difference in price, but the fact is that I would be tempted to buy at up to maybe £30 but if it goes any higher, I'm sure I can find similar products from other trusted brands.I have found that it works well in combination with skinChemists Advanced Bee Venom Night Moisturiser 50 ml which I've also received for review. BUT which also comes in at a RRP of £155, so the same comments about price would apply to that product. But any other good moisturiser would work as well.

The container is really nice and this certainly looks like a premium product with a delightful silvery pearlescent finish. It also has a really nice push-button action dispensing method, which delivers pretty much the perfect amount of cream for each use - it's great for making sure you don't waste any excess.The cream itself is quite thick so it's very easy to control, but it doesn't feel too oily or heavy when rubbing into the skin. It does, however, require a little bit of rubbing in, but I'm used to that with my regular moisturiser.In terms of performance, while I didn't notice an immediate effect from the cream. While it certainly did moisturise my skin, and over time, it may well have had a slight effect on wrinkles and skin plumpness, but that could also me seeing something because I was expecting that effect. I honestly can't confirm, which isn't great given the promises that this cream makes and the price charged. It's simply because of that, that it doesn't get more than two stars.

The product comes in a plastic container with a press/tilt button to dispense the serum. I liked the container, it was lightweight yet retained an air of classiness with it's creamy beige shimmer look and silver trip at the top. It's hard to make a plastic bottle look classy but they manage it.The serum itself is a gel and a little does go a long way. The dispenser enables you to release a little at a time to reduce waste (extremely important at this price!) On application I found it did make my skin feel smooth and silky, but I don't have problem or 'uneven' skin so this was just the effect of applying any 'luxury' feeling product. The difference being from ordinary moisturisers being that it left it a little tingly and with a 'tight' feeling, so a little like using a good face mask it makes your skin feel as if you have actually 'done' something to it. Fragrance-less is a plus and it's not a chore to use because you only use a little and it penetrates quickly so you're not waiting around with a 'wet face' before you can do anything else.My only gripe would be the price...£145 as I write which I would imagine isn't affordable to many.

Some contention abounds as to whether this moisturiser has a pleasant smell or not. Opinion differed in my family depending on who I asked. I myself quite like it though. I don't know what bees smell like and if I ever get close enough to find out, moisturising my skin is probably the last thing on my mind!This contains what is described a a cocktail of daily vitamins, anti-oxidants, moisturisers and lipids . In other words, ingredients which might make your skin look and feel good. And this certainly has a good initial effect -but I have to say half an hour later I couldn't tell if it has been applied or not.As to the moral position about 'milking' bees of their venom, I do think this is a bit dubious. Should animals be inconvenienced or even hurt for the vanity of humans? I am not particularly comfortable with this idea though I am sure the manufacturers would say no bees are harmed.Where have all the bees gone? Are theya) Being kidnapped by skin Chemists and kept for their venom?b) Hiding from skin Chemists to avoid a) , above?Anyway I think there are probably other ways to develop moisturisers and although this definitely has some effect, I have reduced the rating in regard to issues of alleged moral turpitude.So there.

I did a spot test on my inner arm when this was delivered and several hours later all was well. I cleansed thoroughly and moisturised first thing, and very curious about the claims made and the high cost, I applied a pea sized amount to one cheek but not the other. The treated side definitely felt smoother and had a more polished feel. An hour later that continued to be the case. In appearance there was little difference to show between either cheek but the fingertip test noticed quite a difference which I believe would also be noticeable visibly eventually with extended use.,Besides bee venom the serum also contains amino acid complex, and mostvsignificantly hyaluronic acid considered by the consensus to be one of the most significant breakthroughs in anti ageing skin products. Therefore, whether the most contributory ingredient to the improvement in texture I felt on my skin is the bee venom or the H acid is anyone's guess. It is however a very good product, and providing you do not have an allergy is very gentle on the skin with a cool, transparent gel and fairly loose consistency. Very little is required for application, as it spreads quite far as you massage it in gently.So, if this was within my normal budget, I think I would definitely consider buying this range as part of my normal beauty regimen.

This serum promises to do the usual hydration and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful look. It contains bee venom so you need to avoid this if you are allergic to bees and check for reactions by doing a small patch test before wholesale use.It has a thick consistency and is absorbed readily into the skin on application without leaving any greasy residue. There is no instant reaction; I felt no tingling or tightening on the skin and initially saw no difference to its appearance. A short time after application, around ten to fifteen minutes, there does appear to be a general look of plumping up, which is noticeable to me albeit probably not to anyone else.In terms of presentation, this looks like an expensive bottle of moisturiser; a clinically clean box with little in the way of embellishment and a heavy, white tubular pump-action container for the cream. There’s no product leaflet inside the box although I received a sample so I hope more information may be provided subsequently.The moisturiser comes in an expensive package and did make my skin look marginally smoother. It is no miracle worker and I doubt anyone else would see the small difference but it does boost confidence, even though that is at a price.

I had the Advanced Bee Venom Facial Serum for review with this night moisturiser and find that they work well together. The serum clears and tightens the skin, but also leaves it a bit dry whereas the moisturiser “plumps” it somewhat and brings a bit more shine. It is a bit thick and heavy to apply like many night moisturisers, but once it’s on the skin it feels good.I’m not a big fan of the smell which is my main negative about the product – along with the quite forbidding price level. £155 for a 50 ml night moisturiser – even if it is nice and feels good for the skin - is expensive and I do find that there are others in a lower price bracket that would work equally well. Many of the Skinchemists’ products have been reduced dramatically from around £100-150 to £19.99 on Amazon recently and at that price level I would be happy to get the product.The dispenser looks very nice and comes well packed in a fairly simple white box, but it looks stylish and it comes with a little cap to apply to avoid spillage when on the move.All in all, a lovely product but at a quite unreasonable current price of £155.

This is not the first product from the range I have tried and really wasn't expecting very much from it.The packaging is sleek in design and there is a stopper on the pump to keep it sealed, I use two pumps of the serum to treat my face and neck.Unlike other products this one has a fresh and pleasant fragrance, it goes over the skin like silk and it cools beautifully. I have seen a real improvement after using mine for less than a week, I no longer get up with the pillow case creases on my face. Instead my skin is soft and refreshed looking and most definitely the lines are less noticeable.Yes it is expensive but I don't think anyone would be seriously considering buying it if they were on a tight budget. I will continue to use every night and if my opinion changes I will be back to edit this review.I believe it's one of those serums you will see beneficial results from if you are getting ready for a big occasion, like a wedding or a big event where you want to look your best. This is one I happily recommend.
