I was sent the Skin Doctors Beelift moisturiser to review recently and I have been trying it for the last month and decided it’s a good time now to be telling you about it.
Claims
(from the Skin Doctors website)
Beelift helps fight premature ageing ensuring that your skin is nourished, renewed and revitalised. Beelift contains the Bee Venom (Melittin), Manuka Honey, the collagen treatment Trylagen® and Hyadisine® – a complex mix of peptides, amino acids, proteins and key enzymes. Together these ingredients trick the skin into thinking it has been lightly stung, instantly working to control facial muscles for cumulative tightening, lifting, plumping and firming of the skin.
Beelift is clinically proven to
- Increase Collagen by up to 300%
- Cumulative skin tightening
- Plumping and firming of the skin
Application
With dry fingertips, apply a small amount of Beelift cream to your face and décolletage, avoiding eye area. To finish apply your choice of Skin Doctors moisturising product.
Packaging
It comes in a glass jar which is not my favourite packaging. I wish all skincare products were in pump or squeeze packaging as it’s more hygienic but it’s ok. Isn’t too cheap feeling though so that’s a bonus.
Texture
This is a lovely medium textured cream (think yogurt) and I have been using it after my serum and before a moisturiser (initially I was using as a moisturiser) as it sinks in to the skin immediately.
Scent
The scent of honey is so strong and actually a little overpowering. If you like honey you will like this but although the scent is strong a soon as it’s on the skin it goes away. It doesn’t linger.
Results
Immediately I notice my skin to be tighter. This isn’t something I am used to as I much prefer more moisturising products. It is this that made me realise it has to be used in conjunction with a moisturiser, especially if like me you have dry/combination skin.
Final thoughts
This products is priced at £38.99 for 50mls. Personally it isn’t something I would repurchase at the moment due to the tightening of the skin. I think it would be good to have in my armoury when I start to find I need something that will give me a lift but at the moment I don’t require it.
The scent for me is not my favourite and I don’t like dipping my finger in a jar but there are products I love that I can oversee this.
If you are looking for something that will naturally give you lift this definitely will help. The results are pretty good after one month.
Let me know if you have tried any of the Skin Doctors products? Have you got any favourites?
I’ve never heard of this brand but it sounds interesting! Not in my price range at the moment, but I look forward to the day I can treat myself to this kind of product 🙂 x
I actually like the sound of this, with ageing skin I love it when it feels a little tighter and taut.
I’m the same – much prefer a pump. I actually dop love the smell of honey though so I bet I’d love this moisturiser! My skin is actually pretty tight anyway but I’d quite like to give this a go! Thanks for sharing xx
Great honest review! My skin gets so dry in winter, so I don’t think this would be right for me either.
Never heard of this brand before! I love when you see instant results in products! xo
I had not heard of this brand before, but I feel like I can really use a product like this. My skin would be so grateful for that.
I’ve heard of this brand, but never used anything of theirs. My skin is SO dry all year long, and I really can’t cope with things that tighten so I feel like this wouldn’t be for me. I am very specific with the moisturisers I use!
