Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. While I can appreciate really good marketing and keywords, for me that is all this serum is packed with. Yes, it really does include bee venom but it is the last ingredient so unlikely to really do much of what it says. Of the top ten ingredients, I find a ton of preservatives and fillers. While I am NO CHEMIST, it looks like only 3 of the top ten are active for the skin and six [yes, 6!] preservatives. While some preservatives do double duty of maintaining the formula as well as offering softening & moisturizing properties, I fail to understand-why six? So far, this is the most preservatives I have found in one formula! This formula falls short for me and for the price-wow! They really do have great marketing-bright colors, keywords to draw you in like 'dragon's blood' 'super' 'snake'-making it all sound exotic and promising! Have you tried Rodial?
