The basic rule

Bee venom works best when the skin has time to "feel" it. That is why the water serum is always the first step and the cream comes 15 minutes later.

Morning

  1. Cleanse with a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser.
  2. Water serum – one spray on the forehead, cheeks, chin, neck and décolleté. Do not wipe.
  3. After 15 minutes: daily gel cream (oily and combination skin) or milk serum (normal and dry skin).
  4. Under-eye oil – one drop per eye, patted onto the bone under the eye.
  5. Sun protection of your choice.

During the day

Dry oil for neck and décolleté whenever skin feels dry – it absorbs without a trace. Organic balm for hands, elbows and lips.

Evening

  1. Cleanse.
  2. Water serum, wait 15 minutes.
  3. Night cream – a pea-sized amount on face and neck.
  4. Leg gel on tired legs; anti-pain cream on tense muscles after exertion.

What to expect

PeriodWhat you will notice
First daysTingling and warmth for a few minutes, then a firm, fresh feel
4 weeksSmoother texture, skin holds moisture better
8 weeksFine lines look shallower, complexion more even
12 weeksBest results – which is why we recommend three months of regular use

Mistakes to avoid

  • Applying cream right after the serum (the skin has no time to respond).
  • Using too much – the skin cannot absorb more, and the tingling is stronger.
  • Skipping the forearm patch test before the first product.
  • Expecting results within a week – the effect is cumulative.
