๐ฌ How It Actually Works
A purified extract of bee venom containing melittin. It gently "fools" the skin into thinking it has been stung, rushing blood, collagen, and elastin to the area.
๐ Why your skin loves it
Plumps fine lines, provides an immediate lifting effect, and kills acne bacteria.
๐ก Pro Tip
Do NOT use if you have severe bee sting allergies. Always patch test.
โ๏ธ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
Bees die when this is extracted.
The Science
Cosmetic bee venom is extracted using a glass plate that gently shocks the bee; the bee does not lose its stinger and survives.
