Bee Rx™ is a buzz-worthy skincare line that utilizes humanely sourced bee venom and New Zealand Kanuka honey to help your skin be youthful and radiant. I was so excited to try these products and see how my skin would react to bee venom, and it was amazing! I read that bee venom increases collagen protein synthesis, which creates collagen fibers by encouraging the growth of new skin cells. It also speeds up the recovery of damaged skin cells, generating even more skin cells. The combined effects add up to fewer fine lines and less noticeable wrinkles. I couldn’t wait to see if this was true!
I received the following products to test for this review, and I used them for one month:
- Bee Venom Anti-Aging Serum
- Bee Venom Anti-Aging Facial Gel
- Bee Venom Anti-Aging Eye Lift Roller
- Bee Rx Acne Blemish Repair
- Bee Rx Cold Sore Treatment
- Bee Rx Rosacea Rescue
Bee Rx started in the lush, varied landscape of New Zealand with a vision to create a 100% natural, clean-label product line. They are also always in support of bees, the environment, and sustainable food systems, through The Bee Conservancy. They learned to harness the power of science, innovation, and bees to create wellness products unlike any other brand. Bee Rx is dedicated to offering healthy and natural products to consumers while educating the world about the power of bees.
Their products are a range of buzz-worthy, highly effective anti-aging products combining a unique, high-strength, natural bee venom sourced exclusively from New Zealand with a solid scientific foundation. They are made from four natural products: bee venom, medical-grade Kanuka honey, water, a natural polymer, and a natural preservative. All of Bee Rx’s products are safe and non-toxic, using 100% natural ingredients that are naturally sourced. Nothing is tested on animals, so it is a cruelty-free brand. Every product is colorant and fragrance-free with no additives.
How do They Extract the Bee Venom?
The process is called milking and involves putting a glass plate near the hive and running a small amount of electricity through the glass. The bees attack the glass and deposit some venom, but they do not die as their stingers cannot penetrate the glass. The bees are not harmed by this process, as their happiness and health are incredibly important to Bee Rx.
The Importance of the Bee Population
The well-being of the bee population is important to Bee Rx and should be essential to everyone. Bees are a keystone species; their decline could significantly impact ecosystems and human life. A significant decline in bee populations would directly affect the agricultural sector, leading to reduced yields of many crops. This could result in food shortages and increased food prices. In nature, various animals depend on bees for their survival because their food sources—nuts, berries, seeds, and fruits—rely on insect pollination. Pollination also allows floral growth, which provides habitats for animals, including other insects and birds. Lastly, bees themselves and the honey they produce are a source of food for many animals. The health of bee populations is integral to the health of our ecosystems and agricultural systems.
What is Kanuka Honey, and Why is it Buzz-Worthy?
New Zealand Kanuka Honey is a cousin of the more well-known Manuka Honey and is derived from the nectar of flowering Kanuka trees. These trees can grow as tall as 95 feet and have small flowers that usually grow in clusters. Nearly all research into the medical value of Kanuka honey shows its effectiveness against skin conditions. Additionally, this honey is effective against burns and other skin disorders. It is particularly effective on rosacea and acne breakouts. Because Kanuka Honey is naturally moisturizing, it leaves the skin smoother and more hydrated—making it easier to avoid future breakouts than bleach-based acne treatments, which can cause dryness. Bee Rx uses a unique treatment and filtration process to remove the impurities from Kanuka Honey, ensuring they deliver a buzz-worthy, clean, and effective product.
Bee Rx Anti-Aging Serum
The buzz-worthy skincare line includes the Bee Rx Bee Venom Anti-Aging Serum. This medical-grade New Zealand Kanuka honey and bee venom serum is lightweight and smooth. After lightly massaging the serum into my skin, I could feel my skin tightening right away. As my skin tightened, I was afraid that it was drying out my skin, but that was not the case. When I felt my skin after a minute or so, it felt so smooth and supple.
This serum can be worn under a moisturizer and makeup. It should be used on a clean face, neck, or chest and can be used in the morning and evening.
This serum is easy to use and feels amazing on the skin. It has all the benefits of injectables but with a much gentler application.
Bee Rx Anti-Aging Facial Gel
The Bee Venom Anti-Aging Gel has properties similar to those of the serum but with a thicker consistency. This buzz-worthy skincare product boosts collagen production, tightens and smoothes instantly, and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
When applied, the Anti-Aging Gel feels cool on the face, and then the tightening begins. Just like the serum, it tightens the skin and leaves it feeling smooth and supple. The clean ingredients used in the Bee Rx products are a great alternative to Retinol, Collagen, and Hyaluronic Acid-based products.
Bee Rx Anti-Aging Eye Lift Roller
Another buzz-worthy product from Bee Rx is the Anti-Aging Eye Lift Roller. This was the product I was most excited to try. I have dark circles and puffy under-eyes, so I have tried almost every under-eye serum on the market! This eye roller felt amazing on the eye because of the cool roller that dispenses the serum. After gently rolling the serum under the eye, I could feel almost instant tightening. My under-eye area was lifted and firmer right away. Since it is “clean” and non-toxic, I felt good about using this buzz-worthy skincare product near my eyes.
The metal roller applicator was smooth and easy to maneuver. Bee Rx recommends running the roller from the inner to the outer corner of the undereye area two to three times when using it. Use it morning and evening under makeup and moisturizer.
I received the following three products, but I could not test them because I do not currently have any of the problems that they solve. I am including information from the Bee Rx website here, and I will be donating it.
Bee Rx Acne Blemish Repair
Bee Rx’s Acne Blemish Repair can help affected areas while rejuvenating the skin for a bright, youthful glow. You can use this product to target specific problem areas or as a face mask. It also improves the appearance of acne scars and leaves your skin smooth and cleansed. You can typically see results in just days.
Bee Rx Cold Sore Treatment
Clinical studies have shown that Bee Rx’s Cold Sore Treatment relieves cold sore symptoms and promotes healing. Clinical trials also show that patients preferred Bee Rx over other available cold sore treatments. The smooth gel soothes, moisturizes, and provides a protective barrier on the skin to help cold sores heal naturally. The all-natural and plant-based ingredients mean that you can feel good about using them on your skin.
Bee Rx Rosacea Rescue
Repair affected red areas of rosacea while rejuvenating the skin for a bright, youthful glow with Bee Rx’s Rosacea Rescue. This twice-a-day treatment minimizes the appearance of existing rosacea breakouts and future flare-ups to keep skin smooth. Bee Rx Rosacea Rescue moisturizer visibly minimizes the appearance of red blotches and bumps, helps reduce inflammation, and heals damaged skin. Use Rosacea Rescue twice daily, leaving it on for at least 15-30 minutes before rinsing with warm water. You will see the lightning, softening, and healing effects instantly—another great buzz-worthy skincare product.
My Thoughts
I have a membership to a local salon that performs facials, so I have been fortunate to receive monthly facials for the past year. I consistently tested the Bee Rx Anti-Aging products for a month. This week, I went for my monthly facial, and the aesthetician said that my skin looked amazing. She said that I had no congestion in my pores and no breakouts or redness anywhere. She asked if I was using anything new, and I told her…. Bee Rx Anti-Aging products! I explained that I had been testing out some new products, and she encouraged me to keep using them. This was definitely a seal of approval!
I feel good about using these on my skin because everything they use has all-natural properties. I am happy to support their mission to educate the world about the power of bees. The idea of using sustainable ingredients in skincare is also one that I can support. With so many skincare products on the market, the buzz-worthy Bee Rx line is one that I will continue to use!
