| What: Dermal Bee Venom Collagen Essence Mask Price & Where: 70 PHP at BeautyMNL |
My skin condition before using this was not good. I have a pimple breakout from a new toner so I thought I'd try this one since this is supposed to be for soothing, firming and repairing skin. Read on to find out how it performed!
About the Product
 |
| The back of the packaging. |
First of all, the packaging is very simple. At the back, you'll find Korean. English, and Japanese product information and instructions. When I cut the pack open, it smelled like honey to me. Is that because... bees? Heh.

The main ingredient of this mask is bee venom so great to see it so high up in the ingredient list!
From a quick research, bee venom can supposedly control the facial muscles for immediate lifting, tightening and firming. Interesting. Never used a bee venom skincare product before so I'm looking forward to its effects. Of course, don't use if you are allergic to bees or any of the ingredients.
My Experience
By now, I'm sure all Dermal masks use the same mask material. It's the same thick mask with eye flaps. I have a round face, and as usual, the fit is great for me.
The pack contains 23g of clear, watery essence. I put this one in the fridge and it really felt refreshing when I put it on. The mask is soaked enough with just a few drops left in the pack.
I took a nap and 40 minutes later, it was still wet and clinging to my face. I think my nap contributed to the long duration? Usually, Dermal masks dry out within 10-15 minutes for me if I do normal stuff around the house.
So, results?
This is so much better than the snail variant! This is more moisturizing and my skin felt really soft after. My pores shrunk and the bigger ones on my nose really look smaller. Downside is it leaves a tacky feeling and the hydration is brief. It only lasted til the next morning.
I think it also smoothed my skin but honestly, if I want firming, I'd go for the Syn-ake version instead.
Remember how I said I have a pimple breakout? I don't think this did any soothing or repairing, yikes haha. Pimples were still red and painful to touch. If I want to deal with breakouts using Dermal masks, I'd pick Green Tea.
One more thing: I'm now convinced I'm not allergic to bees! xD I did not experience any negative effects like hives or something.
Will I Repurchase?
Maybe not. I think it's decent but if I'm looking to solve a skin issue, I'd prefer the masks I mentioned above. Also, Dermal has like 70+ variants. I wanna try those too!
Tried Dermal masks before? What would you recommend?
