Wild Ferns Bee Venom Face Mask Review

My daughter had been raving about this mask (and I must admit it did appear to make a difference to her skin, so I rushed out to purchase my own. A little on the pricy side, but that aside, I was not disappointed. The packaging is attractive, a study and attractive container inside a box, with full description of contents and application on it. I do like the fact that is it a New Zealand product too! The texture of the mask inside is velvety smooth and easy to apply (you have to use your fingers here, which may not be such a good idea) so to prevent spread of bacteria have a spatula on hand. On application I felt a very mild tingling sensation particularly around the side of the nose, but it disappeared after five minutes or so. The mask is not difficult to remove (particularly if you use Garnier Miscellar water) and left the skin feeling really soft and smooth - no visible difference on first application so don't look for miracles! I used this twice a week for a fortnight and my skin did look good but only showed a noticable difference when I vamped it up to three times a week. I noticed visibly less dryness and a teeny bit of a glow. Now here is the million dollar question - are you meant to use it three times a week as it is going to be extremely costly? Yes the product is beautiful and no I dont believe it is the elixir to beauty and youth but it is good. One of the best masks I have used in a long time but needs very frequent application.

The product comes in a glass jar with a spin-off lid. I love the packaging.

The mask contains NZ Bee Venom with Active Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey is known for its antibacterial and healing properties. Bee Venom rejuvenates skin. I was really excited to try this mask.

I have been using this Bee Venom mask for 2 weeks now. It is a creamy white crème, easy to apply, the consistency is just right, not too thick or too runny. It is hard to describe the feeling having it on, sort of cold tingling feeling which I expected. I leave it on for 20 minutes then wash it off. I honestly could not stand it more than 20 minutes.

I haven’t experienced any allergies or irritation. However, I did not like how it makes my face look super red every time I wash this mask off. Well, obviously this product contains ‘real” bee venom in it. Plus, I don’t really like the smell of it.

It seems to help my dry skin, making it soft and hydrated. Apart from that, I can’t comment on ‘”helping to firm and plump facial tissue for a smooth youthful looking skin” the product claims to do as I don't see any visible signs of improvement. I don't think I'll be purchasing it again.

I tried and loved the Manuka doctor bee venom mask but always forgot to repurchase it and the only way I could get my hands on it was online so I kind of forgot about it. I had heard of this brand and had heard people raving about it so when I found it in a gift shop I was pretty excited.

This comes in a solid frosted glass jar, with a silver screw top lid with the words “Bee venom New Zealand” and a picture of a bee embossed on top. Top marks for packaging Wild fern, it’s cute and classy but practical.

I use a teaspoon and scoop out a small amount and apply a thin layer to my face I am instantly hit by a strong rose fragrance it’s nice but quite overpowering, I am all for stronger scents but this is quite “sneezy” strong. It has a nice thick consistency that is easy to spread. This doesn’t have any tingly sensation when you apply it or while you wait for it to work its magic.

I leave it on for 20 minutes then gently massage my face for about 1 minute before rinsing it off. Afterwards my skin looks freshened and healthy but not glowing or breathtakingly amazing, while it is a nice mask I don’t think It has won me over. I have even tried using it as a moisturizer at night and leaving it on all night but didn’t get any better results using it that way either. It says to use it daily but I really don’t have the time to use it daily coz I’m a lazy bum bum. So have tried using twice a week. Just an average mask and probably wouldn’t repurchase.

Ive had this mask for about 10 days now, using it daily, I must say though at first I was a little skeptical about the product.

I don't believe it will be a miracle but after reading multiple reviews from the BR Crew I thought I'd try it. I like the feeling when I put it on...it's more like cold than really tingling. I leave it on, without washing off. This one is very affordable. I think next time however I'll try something with higher concentration.

One of the best items on the shelf in New Zealand, not cheap but leaves your face feeling amazing. I will continue to purchase. The same brand Moisturiser is amazing as well and doubles as a primer.

I got this on special and I'm glad I did. The packaging is the best thing about this particular product looks and feels high end while being reasonably priced, that's not to say it's not a good moisturiser, it is but you still need a serum and eye cream to get full effect. The consistency, smell and colour is completely different from their other moisturisers. I would buy again if on special
