Alpine Silk Bee Venom Nourishing Face Mask Reviews

This has got to be one of the best face masks I have tried, it has a great creamy consistency and doesn't feel oily or watery. It spreads on well and the little spatula you get with it is great for spreading it around your face and getting to the areas around the nose and under your eyes. When it is time to take it off you can feel it has a firmer feel to it like it is locking the goodness underneath however comes off easily with water water and a flannel. Your skin feels soft and smooth afterwards and found after using it every few days my skin felt great, I feel like my skin will continue to improve with regular use and that's what I will be doing. On a final note with the small amount you use each time I think this is really good value for money as you will get a decent amount of applications out of one bottle of it.

This is officially the most beautiful piece of skincare I own.

The box the mask came in is beautiful - white and gold and elegant. Once you open it though, it goes from elegant to luxurious, with the mask being contained in a matte gold orb with shiny gold strip around the middle where you twist it open.

The mask itself is thick and creamy with a hint of rose scent. The mask comes with a spatula, which is a nice touch, but I use my fingers as they are cleansed before I apply the mask.

As per instructions, I spread the mask over my face - and I wasn't skimpy with product - I had a decently thick layer. Then I sat back and read my book for fifteen minutes/did housework/watched videos on the internet. During this period I noticed my skin tingled (not uncomfortably) and had this cooling sensation. After the fifteen minutes was up I looked in the mirror and was amazed to see the product had been sucked into my skin - no creaminess was to be seen.

I washed my face with warm water and the results were obvious. After each mask my skin felt super smooth, very plump, glowing, and makeup application post-mask was a breeze.

My only niggle was that when I used this too close together (two days apart) my skin sported a couple of tiny whitehead pimples the next day, which I don't usually get. If I space out the time between uses (once every four/five days) this does not happen. It said to use regularly on the box, but I think it's a case of finding what fits you.

Would I recommend it? If your skin needs a boost of nourishment, absolutely! I think it would make a gorgeous gift idea for the more mature lady in your life, too.

Having never tried bee venom products before, I was intruiged to try this mask. I was half expecting "tourist" type packaging on this product due to the Manuka Honey. With a honeycomb pattern on front, back and top, the bee logo with gold adds a classier touch. Ingredients clearly listed on the side, and great to note this is paraben free. Manuka Honey is listed fourth so that leads me to believe it has a good honey content, not just a token amount. Vitamins A&E always great for skin, I did wonder about the inclusion of menthol however. Opposite side has a blurb about the benefits of bee venom, being anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-aging in skin care, and the stimulation of venom to help circulation to help trigger collagen & elastin. Rear of box has similar directions, and a Patch Test Caution, which would be advisable to follow.

I was quite surprised to open the box to discover a gorgeous two-tone gold, albeit plastic, orb container which gives a beauty luxury effect, with the simple Alpine Silk Logo and description of product along the edge. Comes with a small plastic spatula, which its great to keep the product hygienic in between uses. Unscrewing the top of the orb, a plastic hygiene lid/seal is easily removed to reveal a very thick, rich cream which has a pleasant, slighly honey fragrance. One small scoop of the spatula was more than enough to provide a thick full face coverage. It is very luxuriously thick, and glided on beeutifully. There was quite a strong initial tingle, but this wasn't overly concerning as I had made sure my skin was thorougly cleaned and exfoliated first in order to ensure the best possible results of the mask, so was expecting full delivery. The tingle disappeared after a few minutes. - I tried the mask again 3 days later, without exfoliating first, and the tingle effect was barely noticeable. The mask went from white to opaque within a minute or two. After 15 minutes, I rinsed the mask off, and immediately thought my skin looked plumper, more hydrated and nourished, and stayed this way for a good 2 days. I really liked the feel of the mask on my skin, it was quite cooling, which I think may have been down to that Menthol. Even though it is an incredibly rich mask, my skin didn't suffer any breakouts or clogged pores at all. I will definately enjoy using this mask on a regular basis. It's great to find a mask that really nourishes mid-40's skin.

A golden ball of luxury, the container has a very high end look both the shape and the color of the container which the gold & white packaging enhances. The first time I tried the product I was possibly used less than I should have as there was very little of the tingling that comes with using bee venom products. If there was a fragrance it was very subtle. It is slightly cold when I first put it on using the little spatula but once it is spread over the skin it warmed up. It is very easy to apply, and although thicker than other masks that I have used it, is feels light and easy to apply. The tingling sensation is unusual but not unpleasant, and seemed to last for the 15 minutes that the mask is on for. The masks goes from white to being pretty invisible during the 15 minutes and I am hoping that all of the goodness of the product is being absorbed into my skin. It is easy to remove using a face cloth, it left my skin feeling lovely without any residue. I think my skin tone texture has improved and looks plumper, and there seems to be a reduction in the fine lines. I will continue to use and if I continue to see the improvements in my skin tone and reduction in lines I would happily purchase this product.

Was lucky again to get to try This Venom Mask, which i was totally surprised with, considering i have mature skin now, and costs a wee bit to upkeep now in our 40's. So was very impressed with the clean packaging. Easy Little pot to open and not make a mess , it has a applicator in box to apply. Applied the Mask to my washed face. the smell and the texture was really nice and liked the thick texture of the mask,, how i would expect a nourishing mask to be, applied nice and even, a very nice constancy, left for 15- 20 minutes and then wash off, was really impressed with how my skin felt and looked, even the next day, this is one i will be purchasing again, and nice it is natural product we can apply to face, so thank you again.

This is a moisturising, nourishing mask containing manuka honey, bee venom and collagen.

The packaging is lovely. The jar is a satisfyingly heavy gold sphere with a nice click when it closes.

The mask is a rich heavy cream, it spreads nicely in a thick layer that initially looks white but it turns translucent after a while. It has a soft smell of honey, similar to a beeswax candle.

I felt some minor tingling when I first applied it, and my skin felt "warm". My eyes also watered slightly. I assume that's from the menthol so I was initially a bit worried, but it all settled down after a few minutes and was fine.

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes then washed it off with a facecloth. It washed off easily and didn't require any vigorous scrubbing.

My face looked a little red after I washed off the mask, but it didn't feel tight or irritated at all. I'm assuming the redness was caused by either the bee venom or menthol, perhaps it did irritate my skin slightly and caused increased blood flow? The redness disappeared after a few minutes.

My skin felt soft and well moisturised, and felt nice the next morning. I enjoyed using this mask, and will use it again.

There are a few ingredients that some people might find problematic. It includes honey, bee venon, and lanolin so it's not vegan. It also includes menthol which might irritate some skins. I didn't have any issues at all with irritation or sensitivity, and my skin has reacted to some other products in the past.

Great packaging always adds to the excitement of trialing a new product, and this certainly didn't disappoint. I love the honeycomb design on the box which is not only clever from a brand point of view, but pretty too. The gold label speaks of luxury, which is what every busy woman of today yearns for every now and then. The sphere-shaped container was a surprise and I believe I even uttered an 'Ooo' when I lifted it out. It is so pretty! I love it when a product comes with a little spatula. I have every intention of using it to scoop the product out rather than fingers, but I've yet to keep to this practice.

The consistency is rich and even though it is quite thick, it spreads easily over the skin, especially as it warms up along with the temperature of your skin, which is great, because it is suggested you apply generously. The scent is a subtle familiar one of honey and beeswax and very pleasant.

Even though the words 'bee venom' and 'stimulation' are clearly written on the box, I wasn't expecting how much this would tingle on my skin. Once I realized it wasn't going to go past the pleasant tingle stage, I relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of the product stimulating my muscles and cells. I loved feeling like it was actively waking up my tired skin and nourishing it.

It washed off easily with lukewarm water and left my skin non-greasy and soft. I'm not sure if it is just the feel-good factor afterwards, but looking in the mirror, I was sure some of the lines on my forehead and brow were softer than before. I'm definitely looking forward to using this product often.

I love this product! It is super easy to use - smooth to apply and feels great on my skin. As soon as I applied it my skin started to cool and tingle slightly- it wasn’t displeasant as a matter a fact it felt great. I left it on for 15 minutes and then washed it off. My skin felt smooth and clean.

While we were not given a long enough trial period to really put this product to the test even at the initial use you can tell there are active ingredients going to work on your skin.

The container is an appealing gold colour and is ball shaped. The mask is an off white colour and has no real distinguishable smell, rather like an unfragranced cream.

The mask is a thick cream that applies easily. As soon as it was applied I could feel my skin heating up considerably where it was applied. It was not uncomfortable but certainly a reaction with my skin. It also felt tightened where applied. No specific advice was given to avoid the eye area but common sense told me to given the active ingredients the product claims to contain.

Instuctions advise to wash off after 15 minutes, it is easily removed. Once removed my skin then felt cold for a brief period of time, but my cheeks remained pink in colour.

The tight feeling went away once removed and my skin did feel smooth like it had been exfoliated. I folllowed with a night moisturiser and my skin felt very nourished.

This New Zealand made mask is enriched with New Zealand Manuka Honey, Collagen and Vitamins A and E. Given the short trial period I was only able to apply the product a couple of times (given the frequency advice) so I am unable to review it's effect over time but the initial trial was positive and I look forward to contuned use to see results over a month or so.

It is only for this reason I have been unable to review if it did what it said it would and whether I would recommend to a friend, intial results look promising however.

I've tried a few bee venom products before and have not been very impressed. Am I impressed with this product? YES I SURE AM! It does exactly what it claims to do. I've been using this every second day. As soon as it's applied you can feel the tingling and the warming sensation, which I assume is the increase in blood circulation working it's magic. I can definitely see and feel my skin looks firmer, plumper and more radiant, not to mention really moisturised and hydrated.

The packaging is simple and attractive, and the little round gold jar is pretty. It comes with a little spatula to make applying a breeze. You really can be quite generous as this is a mask. The creme itself is a nice consistency and you can smell the honey. There's no reason not to use this everyday to keep your face glowing!
