Rodial Bee Venom Night 50 ml

This is a really lovely luxurious product. Innovative design, press top down and it releases a small amount of gel, far more hygienic that sticking fingers in a jar. Although the downside is you don't ever know how much is left. Good consistency and only a small amount needed. Skin does look better and smoother. Keen to try the rest of the range now.

Fantastic little cream, once having issues removing the little bit of plastic that creates a hole at the top you are left with a very cleaver button that pushes out the cream. One push sends out enough of this cream to use which stops you having to dip in your fingers and using over the amount needed and wasting some. This is a good idea however I can tell that when you come to the end you will still need to get the remaining bits of cream stuck on there underside of the button and probably at the bottom of the jar too.The cream is easily applied and your skin just seems to lap it up quickly absorbing into every pour leaving a warm feeling on your face.Does it work?Simple answer is yes, skin and wrinkles have noticeably diminished especially on the forehead and around the eyesHow doe's it work? (SOURCE :the Daily Mail)Honey bee venom (toxin melittin) 'fools' the skin, causing a rush of blood to the area and stimulating production of natural collagen and elastinWhy the name? (SOURCE: Maria Hatzistefanis founder of Rodial)Part of Rodial’s allure is the brand’s eye-catching product names. “We have Snake Serum, Dragon’s Blood and Bee Venom. They are all very safe but we like to play with the names of our ingredients to create a talking point.”How do they get the Bee Venom? (SOURCE :the Daily Mail)Experts collect bee venom by placing a pane of glass alongside a hive and running a weak electrical current through it, which encourages the insects to sting the surface.Because the bee's lance remains in its body, it does not die.Tiny quantities of the venom are then collected. It is so valuable that it costs up to £30,000 for one ounce.Warnings!Do not use if you have an allergy to bee stings (Use a patch test however it's an expensive product to buy if you find out you are unable to use it)There is a warming of your face when you put this stuff on, not surprisingly as you are putting Bee Venom on your skin however as it's during the night you wake up with your skin looking refreshed. It does noticeably work if you can afford to pay £90 for a bottle.I hope this review has been of some help, any questions please feel free to ask

Luxurious night cream. I have been testing this product for a couple of weeks and have to admit I love it - whether I can justify the price for more is another matter as it is expensive.The cream is very easily absorbed - my skin just soaks it up and does not feel greasy or clogged up after application.I have noticed that the pores around my nose have become unnoticeable - the fine lines around my eyes are again less noticeable - result!I have not noticed any irritation on application - some reviewers have so I would recommend a patch test before a full application.The product contains retinol which was the breakthrough skin product of our generation. There is bee venom which apparently is ethically sourced and does not harm the bees. Matrixyl 3000 is new to me but the manufacturers claim it smoothes deep wrinkles. Soy isoflavones apparently helps skin elasticity.There is a specific warning not to use this product if you are allergic to bee stings.I only wish this range was cheaper as I totally love this cream and I would buy the whole range.5 stars.

I'd best start by saying that my middle-aged bearded face does not lend itself to using expensive moisturiser, so this review is courtesy of feedback from Mrs Samuel.A few years ago there was a series of sketches on the Harry and Paul Show (as in Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse), where Harry Enfield's character ran a London shop called 'I Saw You Coming', in which he sold tat at ridiculous prices to gullible women who didn't know any better. My first thoughts on seeing the Rodaial Bee Venom moisturiser was that this would be a perfect thing for Harry Enfield to sell in this shop -- however, my wife assured me that not only is bee venom the new, trendy thing to have in cosmetic products, apparently it actually works.Anyway, the proof of the pudding was in the testing. Mrs Samuel reports back that despite my reservations, it's actually pretty good. It's lightly-scented, not greasy (once it is rubbed in, apparently it leaves no sheen or greasiness behind) and, apparently, after three days use, Mrs Samuel can tell the difference. It's reported that her skin feels tighter and cleaner, and that she can definitely tell that it's working when she looks in the mirror.Obviously I have to agree with her findings (it's more than my life's worth not to do so), but I think she is right -- her skin is looking better. Whether this is as a result of the bee moisturiser or just one of those periodic things whereby skin sometimes looks better than at other times, I can't say. Either way, she's happy, so I am as well. Although it now seems I'll be having to buy this on a regular basis, which is likely to prove costly. Still, anything for a happy marriage! So, four stars, and happy to recommend this. Of course, if in six months time Mrs Samuel's skin has metamorphised into yellow and black stripes and she's developed a loud buzz, then I'll update this review accordingly. Hopefully it won't come to that, however...
