Wild Ferns Bee Venom Face Mask Review

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

i used this for 20min the first time, having washed my face as normal. It smelled divine and went on easily with no greasy after feel. It made my skin simultaneously cool and hot, like menthol. After 20min I took it off and my skin felt smooth and moisturised but no miracle result. I then thought I'd use it as a night mask, leaving it on overnight. I did that for a week and my skin looked amazing. After two weeks people were telling me how good I looked - that never happens to me! I love this product and am going to keep using it.

OMG people! this mask is bee-utiful! I was so excited for this trial that as soon as it arrived I was arranging kids around the tv/puter so I could go try it out. It comes in the most gorgeous glass pot and looks very high end (which it is). I cleansed first then dug my fingers in and slapped it on, the smell is really nice, a little like the arnica anti-flam, but I’m ok with that. Almost as soon as I got it on it started to give me a real burn sensation and not in a particularly good way I might add. I thought “drat!” but thought I will leave it on and just see how it goes. Well after about 5 mins the burning settled down and just left my skin feeling tingly and warm, I thought “yay!”. The blurb suggests you use it every night to get more noticeable results so that's what I did and the burning definitely got less as the week went on. I did find, however that if I didn't cleanse first it was much better so prob something to that?? I had no other reactions to it (except good ones) and I have super sensitive skin, so that makes me happy :-). The mask itself is a lovely creamy, velvety texture which doesn't go hard or sticky. I don't particularly like sticking my fingers in pots so a spatula would be great to go with it. I took some before & after shots and my skin did look more radiant and I couldn't stop touching it as it was so soft, lol. I’m going to keep using it as super keen to see what my skin is like after a month or so. At $38.95, its up there price wise but its really worth that, I will certainly be buying it again.

This mask has a lovely box package. The box clearly indicate this is a New Zealand product and it contains bee vemon . It has 2 large bees on the box. Clearly labelled, simple, understated and pretty box. Outer packaging 5/5.

Opening the box there is a little brochure that tells you about the product and others available in the wild ferns NZ skincare. This details properties of the Bee Venom and Active Manuka Honey componenets in the face mask. I found this informative and interesting. This is an amazing, informative addition to the packaging.

The glass jar is simple, understated, pretty and clearly labelled. It has a gold lid and clear glass jar with black writing on the jar with sticker on the lid that has Bee on it with the words Bee Venom. This package is very clearly labelled and if you had any allergies to bee venom you have by this time been well warned that this product contains bee venom. 5/5 for jar.

Lifting the lid there is a white seal that covers the cream, on opening the product you are met with the most delightful, beautiful, clean, refreshing and interesting fragrance ever. The smell of this product is something that I recommend above everything else ... it is beautiful. 5/5

The mask is white. It is a very light cream. On applying it is soft, easy to apply and incredibly light ...it is hard to explain but it glides on easily, it does not feel thick and heavy on your skin it feels delicate and luxurious. For application, fragrance, general appearance of mask I give it a 5/5

The mask is easy to use. I felt a slight tingle when I applied it this lasted for almost the full 20 minutes but was not painful at all. For the feel of the mask I give it a 4/5.

On removal my skin felt tighter and cleaner. It almost glowed. The fragrance lingered which I was delighted about. Whilst I did not feel like it cleaned out all of my pores it did make my skin feel good. Again a 4/5.

The day after using this mask on each occasion I had a small out break of spots. I have yet to decide if this was due to the mask cleaning out the rubbish from my skin or if it was a reaction from the mask. This would be the only negative that I have had from the mask.

I enjoyed using the mask and will continue to. At the price of almost $40 I find this a little on the expensive side and don't know if I could afford to keep using a luxurious item like this on our budget, however on saying so I would definitely ask for it at Christmas or birthday time. The price I find a bit disappointing.

I did not find that I looked any younger as suggested but my skin was definitely stimulated as I am sure the tingling was indicating. I can say that after use my skin did feel good.

As a very busy working mum keeping the mask on for 20 minutes was probably the hardest thing to do but I found that I could apply it, cook dinner, remove it then eat. It is a long waiting time - this was a little disappointing.

I did like this product; it smells lovely, it goes on easily (is not sticky at all), goes a long way and is a feel-good treatment.

The time involved, every night, was/is a bit much for me at this time of year, however, I made the effort and, whilst I can see some improvement in my skin, it's barely discernible/possibly a figment of my imagination.

That said, at this time of year, my skin is a hard ask of any product.

So, simply put - I liked using it and will use it again - I think it may be more effective on my skin during winter months, but I'm obviously guessing on that.
