Israeli firm Bmanuka’s serum containing bee venom and manuka honey
“In your facial care routine, it’s common for a serum to be an additional product which assists and enhances the therapeutic activity. Primarily in the field of pro-aging, which means: Fighting and blurring the signs of aging visible to the eye and delaying the appearance of new aging signs on the skin. It’s thus evident that as a rule, serums are designed more for adults and have a dual purpose: both providing skin with a high concentration of care compounds, and improving absorption of the creams applied after. An interesting step taken by Israeli firm Bmanuka, which chose to develop the Recreation line of care products with a serum as its start product.”
This serum contains bee venom produced by New Zealand bees, natural honey drawn from manuka blossoms and natural hyaluronic acids, and is followed by additional care products. They are all based on bee venom from New Zealand, the honey of that bee and other significant compounds, primarily from New Zealand plants. These include: kōwhai tree extract, kūmarahou tree extract, and extracts of the kiwifruit and local flax. Without animal products, parabens, or SLS We are familiar with cosmetics that include honey and I personally love them because the honey is great for my skin.
It seems to be very beneficial in calming sensitivity and in providing care. The effectiveness of manuka honey – produced by bees from blossoms that grow only in New Zealand – exceeds the competition. This honey is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, and better-known than other honeys for its anti-inflammatory properties, promoting collagen production, its ability to make skin smoother and more flexible, and how it helps renew skin cells. What’s unique and new This facial serum from Israeli firm Bmanuka’s Recreation line uses the venom from New Zealand bees for cosmetic effects. Relax, modern methods make it possible to collect bee venom without harming the bees. Traditionally, people in the region would make use of the invigorating components in bee venom: helping the circulatory system, reinforcing physical resilience, creating an overall sense of wellness, and more. From a cosmetic perspective, it was found that the unique chemical structure of the venom, its enzymes, amino acids that dissolve the envelope of skin cells and allow other ingredients to penetrate and be more effective.
The proteins in bee venom stimulate the facial muscles, helping make skin look firm and smooth. The muscat rose extract from the Andes also helps for this. Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Helps repair and fortify healthy skin and shrink scars. Naturally-sourced hyaluronic acid contributes to your facial skkin’s fullness and volume. This component of your skin’s natural moisture is produced less as you age. I have to say that I was most impressed by the super-light texture of this serum, despite the inclusion of such oils as jojoba, shea, sunflower, and olive, as well as aloe vera gel and more.
Our recommendation is to use the serum (on clean facial skin) 3-4 times a week. I have to admit that I very quickly switched to daily and even twice-daily use. The texture is exceedingly light, and will certainly draw consumers with oily facial skin. Your skin deserves care, but the usual products feel too heavy. These individuals may prefer to leave it to the daylight hours. For me, with mature skin, it feels very pleasant and gives a feeling of wellness. In recent weeks, I’ve been applying BManuka’s facial serum on day cream because that’s what I’m used to, but sometimes I leave it like that.
When I leave home, I make do with serum and apply a sunscreen with the recommended SPF on top, or makeup with sunscreen. In the evening, especially after washing my face with for a rich night cream on top. The light texture and the richness of the ingredients, which meet care needs and are suitable for the current Israeli climate, make it usable also during the daytime, without the addition of a care cream on top. In contrast, it’s obvious that on cold days there’s a major need for a serum that makes up for the failings of your regular cream – which isn’t enough for your skin. This is because fans and dry air from the AC drain moisture from facial skin, accelerating desiccation of dry or regular skin.
The pores in your face shrink in the cold and accordingly absorb less cream. Serum that is applied as a foundation for cream is more suitable than a richer cream or a more generous application of the usual cream, since it amplifies the skin’s absorption. It’s very important to know that you don’t have to use the cream that matches the serum from the same care series. Together, they act in more targeted and potent fashion, since the compounds travel in the same direction. However it’s not obligatory and you can use the serum you love, and apply the cream you have at home on top.
According to the company, the serum helps blur and reduce wrinkles, rejuvenate skin cells and create a youthful, fresh appearance. It has been tested on regular skin as well as dermatologically tested on sensitive skin at the Hamilton Institute in Europe. The test results were certified by the Ministry of Health in Israel. Recommended use: After washing your face with warm water, place the serum using your fingertips and wait for it to be absorbed completely. Likewise, the company guarantees visible results as soon as the second bottle. In my experience, the serum was absorbed immediately – faster than any serum I have at home or which I’ve tried during my 26 years as cosmetics writer for the “Laisha” weekly.
As noted, in the hot Israeli summer I make do with this summer to give my skin a feeling of wellness and comfort. What amazed me the most and what I really want to tell you all about is the amazing improvement in my skin’s texture. It seems that the heavier or less well-absorbed creams I used recently led to tiny zits – which vanished immediately.”
