There are so many beauty products on the market and it can be very overwhelming. Deciding what to choose can be hard and many of us can be easily influenced by brand names, price and fancy packaging although not all expensive products do what they claim too and many low priced products can be basic and in some cases ineffective. The use of bee venom in beauty products has become a growing trend. Yes I am talking about the bee venom secreted by the back end of a bee when it stings you. Now I know you’re thinking why would anyone in their right mind want to apply products with bee venom to their skin, it is designed to be an irritant causing itching and swelling. Don’t worry all will be revealed shortly.
The Science Part!
As our skin ages it loses its collagen resulting in the signs of ageing such as sagging skin and wrinkles forming. By applying a product with bee venom the skin is in a sense tricked into believing it has been stung. When you are stung the body’s normal response would be to increase the blood circulation to the area in question so application of a product containing bee venom to the face for example (not forgetting the neck and decolletage) will increase the blood flow in that area which will in turn encourage the production of collagen and elastin in the area of application. The resulting effect is to give the skin a plumper, firmer appearance reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The company skinChemists sent me some of their best selling Bee Venom Facial Serum for an overview. This serum is packed with a range of ingredients that are designed to nourish, plump and hydrate the skin and which work together to stimulate the skin to give it a smoother and firmer appearance.
Within this serum the main active ingredients are:
Bee Venom
As mentioned this increases the blood flow and this in turn increases the flow of nutrients to the multiple layers of the skin resulting in a firmer, plumper appearance and the reduction in the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
Hyaluronic Acid
Another fabulous product which is great in making lines look reduced. This acts by increasing the moisture levels in the skin thus plumping it up. Imagine the skin is a wrinkly deflated balloon. As the Hyaluronic acid begins to take effect the moisture levels within the skin increase so in effect the balloon would begin to inflate making those wrinkles less and less visible and the skin looking much firmer as it works.
A Blend of Amino Acids
The amino acids have an important role which is to balance the skin improving its clarity and encouraging a brighter complexion.
Animal Friendly
skinChemists do not harm any animals in the making of their products. The bee venom used in this product is from a sustainable source which applies to the industry standards of technological extraction.
My Findings
The bee venom facial serum felt very light and absorbed well into the skin and left it feeling velvety soft. The aroma is nice and not overpowering. There was no adverse effect on the skin or reddening. The pump bottle the serum comes in allows for easy dispensing and prevents too much product being used. The design of the packaging is simple, pretty and effective.
SkinChemist products have had rave reviews from all sorts of celebrities and quite honestly I can now safely say I understand why. I have something truly shocking I wanted to share. I have only been using this for 3 days. That’s 1 application at night and one in the morning over the face, neck and decolletage each day and already my skin looks brighter. I must admit to about 5 rechecks at least as I couldn’t believe my eyes. I looked in the mirror this morning and thought my eyes were going funny initially maybe due to water loss overnight but then I looked again in another room. My skin did look brighter. This really does give me a great feeling about this products ability and I am hoping soon I will notice a reduction in my wrinkles and fine lines too.
The results speak for themselves with celebrities fashion designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Stefano Gabbana and model Jourdan Dunn singing their praises. Camilla (The Duchess of Cornwall) has also confessed to using this fabulous must have beauty secret after which sales of this serum sky rocketed. With Mother’s Day coming up this youth elixir in a pump action bottle is something that I know any mum would love to get their hands on so why not get mum something she really wants a more youthful complexion and appearance.
Now for the price. The RRP of the serum is £135 BUT skinChemists have given me a code for my readers to get this serum for the bargain price of £19.99.

I really liked this and was shocked at how fast I noticed my skin looking brighter.

Have heard good reviews on this product.
I’ve heard that bee venom is a great way to reverse the effects of aging, but you don’t always know if you can believe the hype. From your experience here, I’m inclined to start believing! I’m amazed you are seeing such great effects after only three days. This really does sound like a product that would be well worth adding to your skincare routine and the promo you are offering is so fantastic, what a huge savings!
This is really interesting! I have heard about bee venom being good for your skin before actually! But i’ve never actually seen it in product form x
Wow that is really cheap, I know you were saying it was suitable for those who have aging skin but would you reccomend it for me? xx x
I’ve never tried anything with bee venom in it, it does sound really good x
I’ve tried this serum before and I did like the feel of it on my skin x
This is an amazing idea! Tricking the face into believing it has been stung to produce more collagen. Why didn’t anyone think of this ages ago. I would love to try these products
I love bee products, I have a children’s eczema cream with honey in it that really does work.
Great review, love that you saw results straight away 🙂
Thanks Jemma. I still can’t believe it. I’m using it daily to see if I get and more changes.
This looks great, I am always looking for wonder products with a difference!
Thanks for your comment. It really does seem to be a great product.

I think I can safely say I’ve never tried a product with bee venom in before, but it sounds like it really works well!
I was shocked I saw any difference at all in such a small space of time.

Bee venom?? I am so intrigued! Especially after reading no bees were harmed when making the product.
I know it’s great isn’t it. A great product to try my skin looks really bright since starting this.
I am using this now and so far, I am quite impressed with it x
It’s really good isn’t it. I might buy a few of these for once it runs out.
I’ve read about the benefits of Bee Venom before but it’s not something I have actually tried, I’m quite happy with my current skin care routine
Weird how bee venom is used in skin care products, not something you often here about but if it works then brilliant 😀
I’ve tried a couple of bee venom product. This one sounds interesting.
Ouch! What a price! My worry would be that I would fall in love with it and not be able to afford it at full price! It sounds amazing too x
I’d buy stock when it’s on offer!!! 😉
This sounds interesting, might try it x
This sounds like a fab serum full with great ingredients.
It is a very well thought out product and the ingredients are known for giving results.
My first thought was how do they get the venom out, especially without harming the bee
I’ve heard of this product before and I’m quite keen on getting it and trying it out.
Why not try it now that they have it on offer 😉
Not enttirely related but the woman in the photo has stunning eyes wow !
