Rodial’s three-step skincare bundle worth £265 and is infused bee venom technology to help reduce signs of ageing – and shoppers can now get it with a huge £100 saving
The pursuit of younger looking skin often has us trying some questionable things in our skincare routines, from serums filled with snail mucin like COSRX’s Power Essence Gel, to face taping. One skincare ingredient that might split opinions is bee venom, which is said to help smooth and firm skin, leaving it looking more youthful.
Although it might sound a little unorthodox, Rodial’s bee venom-infused skincare range is one of the brand’s best-selling and most well-known products. Each item really does include bee venom – or, more accurately, melittin peptides which are ethically derived from bee venom – and really do promise to give your skin a fuller, plumper appearance.
For shoppers wanting to give them a whirl and save some money in the process, the Bee Venom Anti-aging Starter Kit is a great place to start. With £265 worth of products inside, it’s an instant three step routine that you can get your hands on for £165 – saving you £100.

The kit contains three full size products; the Bee Venom Moisturiser, Bee Venom Eye Cream and Bee Venom Cleansing Balm, and with the eye cream alone costing £145 you’re already making a pretty good saving. The skincare trio is ideal for anyone looking to tackle the signs of ageing that are starting to show on their skin, from fine lines to deeper set wrinkles.
Each product combines plant peptides with the brand’s signature Bee Venom technology, which works by controlling muscle contractions in your face and increasing blood circulation. It also contains cyclopeptide-5, which restores and increases elasticity and firmness to your skin preventing further signs of ageing, and juvenity which encourages cells to reactivate the production of collagen, making it look younger and fuller.
Whilst nothing short of cosmetic procedures can ever fully eradicate every single sign of ageing, a good skincare routine can keep your skin looking fresher and younger with minimal effort (or needles) required. Hydration is key, which is why all three also contain moisturising ingredients to help prevent dry, crepey looking skin which can make you look older.
Another great saving is Germaine De Capuccini’s Pro-Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Routine, which has just recently launched. Offering intensive corrections and daily protections for younger, firmer skin, it’s usually priced at £189 but is now on sale down to £130.
If you’re hesitant about such a big splurge on your skincare, Rodial also offers the Bee Venom Little Luxuries Set, which contains four mini bee venom-infused skincare products worth £163 and is available for £68. This is a great way of testing out the skincare products before committing to a full size version, so you can see how your skin responds.
Shoppers have also been raving about the Bee Venom Anti-aging Starter Kit, with one saying: “Great products I always go back to Rodial as I can notice a difference in my skin”
Another agreed: “Since I tried this kit, I haven’t stopped ordering it when I run out. All the products are amazing! They are full size and they have been a game-changer for my skin! You can buy the kit for the cost of the full-sized moisturizer! My skin seems tighter and it glows, people have remarked on the improved appearance of my skin!”
One found the results less impressive, saying: “I just started using them but so far I’m not seeing all the benefits to wrinkles that I was hoping for.” It is worth remembering, however, that most skincare products need to be used for at least one full skin cycle (about 28 days) before you can determine whether you can see any results.
Others praised it, saying: “Tried bee venom after my long standing skincare was no longer made and other products were causing irritation. Each product has soothed my skin and brought about a lovely moisturised feel. My skin feels and looks better than it has for a while.”
