Getting stung by a bee has always been a frightening thought for me. I can automatically transform into Usain Bolt each time a bee comes buzzing near me. Haha! Surely, the word ‘Bee Venom’ sounds alarming but apparently when used in skincare, there is more to it. Let’s find out more about this toxin in the Celimax Skin Repair Bee Tox Therapy Sheet Mask Review.

The word venom sounds intimidating. Apparently, ‘bee venom’ actually carries many skin benefits. “Bee venom’ is rich in ‘melittin‘. This when used cosmetically, it ‘fools’ the skin into thinking that it has been lightly stung. What this does in return is:

  • increases blood circulation,
  • brings in fresh oxygen and nutrients,
  • stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

A wide number of studies have shown bee venom to effectively increases collagen protein synthesis, speed up the recovery of damaged skin cells, and generate healthier skin cells.

Benefits of ‘bee venom’ in skincare:

  • Increases collagen production.
  • Speed up recovery of damaged skin cells.
  • Generate healthier skin cells.
  • Smooth out the skin.
  • Anti-aging and fine line care.
  • Soothe acne-prone skin.
  • Can help with skin conditions like eczema.

What is in this:

Celimax Skin Repair Bee Tox Therapy Mask is a facial sheet mask containing Bee Venom, Propolis Extract, and 5% AHA to help repair, enhance, and improve the texture of the skin.

Key Ingredients:

  • Purified Bee Venom: Helps in skin repairing, accelerates the recovery of damaged skin cells and improves the elasticity of the skin.
  • 5% AHA: Facilitates smoother skin, removes excess sebum and dead skin cells to smoothen the skin.
  • Propolis Extract: Helps in giving glowing skin. Provides soothing effects and relieves the skin from any irritations.

Other notable ingredients are Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Sugarcane Extract, Apple Fruit Extract, Grape Fruit Extract, and Beta-Glucan.

*This contains Alcohol and Fragrance (listed towards the end) & Citric Acid, which may not be suited for sensitive skin types.

My Thoughts:

Along with star ingredients like propolis extract and bee venom, this sheet mask is also formulated with 5% AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid, exfoliating properties).

I was a bit nervous to use this sheet mask as my skin does not get along well with AHAs. As seen in the picture, the sheet mask was adequately soaked well in yellowish essence. The fit of this sheet mask was excellent, thin & soft, just like a second skin.

With the mask on, there was some slight tingling sensation along with some warming sensation. Although, no burning or skin redness experienced. It would be best advised to do a patch test first for those with sensitive skin. For me, it worked well.

Upon removing the mask after 15 minutes, the skin looked radiant and plump. No redness or irritation was seen.

After patting in the remaining essence, the finish was slightly tacky. The tackiness disappears after some time. I had applied the residual essence on my hands and they too felt smooth and soft.

Conclusion

The Celimax Skin Repair Bee Tox Therapy Sheet Mask was quite a pleasant experience for me. All thanks to this sheet mask, I learned a thing or two about the benefits of ‘bee venom’ in skincare.
