In Korea for some strange reason I have been getting really bad breakouts on places where I have never gotten acne on, is around my jawline, chin and cheeks. The redness of the blemishes was never really fading away, it seems like it takes much longer to heal than my usual ones. I think my acnes were either caused by stress from studying or the environment, if not it must have been related to hormones or something.

Due to the fact that nature republic discontinued my favourite Bee Venom Cream so I decided to get my hands on the recently launch range, as it was on 50% sale.

First of all I really like the simple packaging of the slight transparent brown jar, alongside with a black lid, it makes it looks so classy like some natural professional brand (belif or fresh). Inside it came with a plastic seal like typical Korean brands very hygienic.

To my surprise the smell was actually very similar to the bee venom line except it is more soothing and less fragranted.



The texture of the cream is really hard to describe at first I thought it will be watery like a typical gel cream, however it was nothing like that. The cream itself is definitely more stiff and it feels like it will lock in the moisture better than most gel cream. The texture of it somewhat resembles to waxes or perhaps Doctorcos cream but thicker.

After applying it on it is definitely not sticky unlike gel cream where it seems like everything is gone after absorption, this does leave a layer of ‘something’ on but that layer does not create rubbery shred when mix with other products. But somehow makeup doesn’t sit well on the face after applying this cream on, or maybe I was just in a rush to put my make up on before letting the cream itself sink into my face.

Referring back to what it claims, it definitely helps with soothing the redness on my skin and it actually does not irritate my eczema skin but rather calms it down, preventing it from being itchy. As for the radiant part I didn't see much of a result on that maybe I have to use it for much longer to see.


Will I repurchase the product?
I will repurchase this product if my skin is on a very sensitive state because I think this really works, I would recommend this to people who suffers from sensitive skin and need hydration because this is definitely more hydrating then a typical gel cream

Overall rating:
Texture 4/5
Smell 5/5
Packaging 4.5/5
Effectiveness 3.75/5
Hygiene 4.5/5
