‘One month later and I see a big difference in my skin’
When cold weather hits, skin can lose its glow almost overnight, which is why beauty insiders are rushing to snap up a cult anti-ageing cream shoppers are calling ‘gold in a bottle’. Normally a serious investment, the luxe face cream is currently £280 off in Rodial’s Winter Outlet, making it the perfect time to try the brand’s most talked about formula for less.
Packed with 24 carat gold and designed to deeply nourish, firm and hydrate, the Bee Venom 24 Carat Gold Super Essence has earned rave reviews for delivering visible results, and it has been slashed to £95 from £375, saving shoppers 74%. The Bee Venom product is said to be a serum-essence hybrid formulated to support skin firmness, hydration and radiance all in one.
The lightweight formula combines bee venom, peptides and plant stem cell technology to help improve the appearance of skin texture and elasticity over time. Collodial 24 carat gold and gold bound peptides contribute to a brighter, more even-looking complexion, while targeted actives help soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Instensyl provides ‘an immediate tightening effect’ on application, the brand says, leaving skin feeling smoother and more refined. For best results, beauty lovers should apply the Bee Venom to freshly cleansed skin as part of their morning or evening routine.
Then gently massage two to three pumps onto the face and neck, allowing the formula to absorb fully. It can and should also be used daily to ‘help smooth, hydrate and visibly firm the skin for a radiant, youthful complexion’, the site says.

According to the website, shoppers may be able to notice an instant boost in their skin’s radiance due to the light-reflecting particles from the serum. However, for longer results and benefits, it would take up to four to eight weeks of consistent use as the ingredients are set to work and develop over time, the brand says.
For some other options to choose from, there is the No7 HydraLuminous+ Night Gel 50ml up for grabs for £14.36, down from £17.95, at Boots. This one is ‘supercharged with a 3-in-1 complex’, including hyaluronic acid, and can deliver up to 72 hours of hydration, the site says.
It also has niacinamide that can strengthen the skin and pollution shield technology that protects the skin. If used correctly and consistently, according to Boots, beauty buffs will see their skin looking bouncier and plumper within just one week.
LookFantastic also has the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base 100ml for £84. This cult classic is both a primer and a cream that has a range of vitamins including B5, C and E, hyaluronic acid and shea butter to hydrate and leave skin glowing.
The Bee Venom from Rodial has been rated highly, however, on the website, as one person said: “This is like gold in a bottle, it nourishes and hydrates skin while giving your face the most amazing glow.”
Another commented: “Even after two days of usage the firmness and lift is noticeable. The golden glow from the 24 carat gold is incredible. The amount of compliments I have had is incredible. I’m getting another one… I have to have a spare.”
Skincare is of course person dependent and another customer wrote: “Really love the texture of this and the smell is lovely, too. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, plumped and smooth. Bit pricey, but was worth getting at the sale price.”
Another said: “Must-have for winter time. This package is great value. Only complaint is the cream can cause breakouts sometimes.”
Overall, the majority of people were pleased, though, as one said: “What more do you need than a moisturiser and a primer in one. Makes your skin smooth and perfectly primed for foundation application. Highly recommend.”
