Review: Deborah Mitchell Bee Peel

We’re always on the lookout for skin-transformative products. Ideally, we’d like our face peels to be as good as injectables; that said, we frequently pray they won’t lose their magic at the stroke of midnight! Enter Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Peel from Heaven Skincare. This facial peel, essentially sourced from bee venom, Heaven’s Bee Peel’s popularity has soared to ethereal heights. Given its ever-growing fan base among beauty editors (like moi), celebs, dermatologists, and apparently now gracing the cheeks of royalty (Queen Camilla is reportedly all-in), this anti-aging peel is undeniably great.

But is it as good as having injectables? Could it even be better? To find out, team L A Beauty tested the Heaven Skincare Bee Peel (a lot). Here is everything you need to know about Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Peel. Discover key facts, ingredients, pros and cons, and how this natural wonder fares against our go-to injectable treatments. Don’t forget to scroll down to our FAQs section for more information, too.

Why Bee Venom?

The concept of using bee venom in skincare isn’t new, but Deborah Mitchell has perfected it. The star ingredient, ABEETOXIN®, is hailed as a natural alternative to Botox. This sneaky component deceives the skin into thinking it has been lightly stung, stimulating collagen and elastin production; thus, drawing forth some seriously impressive facial rejuvenation. Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Peel features a range of key natural ingredients proven to repair and rejuvenate the skin. These carefully picked skin nutrients team up with award-worthy Abeetoxin to deliver unprecedented age-thwarting results. 

Heaven Bee Peel: Key Ingredients And Benefits

ABEETOXIN® – This patented active ingredient effectively triggers collagen production.

Apple – Hydrates and brightens.

Raw Cane Sugar – This is combined due to its outstanding exfoliating and skin resurfacing abilities.

Honey – Packed to the brim with antioxidants and nutrients, honey offers superpower-like age-defying benefits for the skin. Think moisturising, skin tone improvement, elasticity enhancement, and rejuvenation.

These ingredients work in unison to create incredible anti-aging results.

Features 

There’s no doubt about it – Heaven Skincare offers the mother of all face peels.  The peel takes on a multi-tasking mission, whilst simultaneously kickstarting collagen and elastin production. Without these, any youthful results will ghost you faster than dreamy Diego on day 10 of your Spanish hols. 

This isn’t just an exfoliator; it’s a resurfacing, firming, and brightening treatment. The unique formula targets a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, and pigmentation. While the price tag is undeniably high-end, you’re investing in a professional-grade facial experience at home, which can save you money on salon treatments in the long run. The immediate post-facial glow is dazzling. Long-term, the results are age-defying.

Pros

• Instant Luminosity: Delivers both immediate luminosity and long-term radiance.
• Reduces Fine Lines: ABEETOXIN triggers collagen and elastin, which plump and smooth the skin. Expect noticeably fewer lines and wrinkles!
• Improves Skin Texture: Effectively minimises enlarged pores and improves uneven skin.
• Natural Ingredients: Formulated with a blend of natural, skin-loving ingredients.
• Lasts a Long Time: You only need a thin layer, so one jar lasts for months.

Cons

• Price: As this is a luxury skincare item, the cost may be a barrier for some.
• Tingling Sensation: The active ingredients cause a strong tingling sensation. If you leave it on for more than the instructed few minutes, the stinging increases. I once left this on for a few extra minutes and – Oh My God! Visualise actual bees. Note to self – firmly stick to instructions.
• Not for Bee Allergies: Vital point – this is a definite no-go if you have a bee allergy.

Is Heaven Skincare’s Bee Peel As Good As Injectables?

As firm lovers of injectables such as Botox and fillers, finding skincare products that can hold their own in the ring against these bad boys is pretty much impossible – until this otherworldly creation appeared on the scene. The natural peel’s genius ability to trigger the skin to essentially go to the gym again, whilst also making a beeline (get it?) for large unsightly pores and uneven skin, makes this a worthy contender against any injectable. Better yet, it costs less than the clinic, lasts far longer, and doesn’t carry the risk of going hideously wrong. Team L A Beauty is smitten with this kitten.

Similar Products

When looking for the best at-home chemical peel, a few other products are noteworthy. Dr. Dennis Gross’s Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads, $92, at Dr Dennis Gross, are amazing for daily exfoliation and anti-aging benefits. Also, Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate™ Intensive Exfoliating Treatment includes a potent blend of acids and enzymes that work wonders for those looking for age-thwarting benefits. However, neither contains the unique bee venom ingredient touted for enabling the signature tightening and firming effect of Heaven’s Bee Peel.

Cheaper Peels Vs This One

It’s tempting to compare the Bee Peel to budget-friendly options like The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. While The Ordinary’s peel is fantastic for surface-level exfoliation and costs a fraction of the price, it’s a one-trick pony. The Deborah Mitchell Bee Peel is a comprehensive anti-ageing treatment. You’re paying the premium for the patented ABEETOXIN® and its regenerative, collagen-boosting properties that cheaper alternatives don’t offer.

Conclusion: 9/10

So, is the Deborah Mitchell Bee Peel worth the investment? 

Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Peel ensures next-level skin rejuvenation without the added cost or downtime that comes with having injectables. The efficacy of this peel’s ingredients is one to be reckoned with, and a little goes a long way.  While it’s a considered purchase, the skin-loving results make you feel like you’ve got your hands on a jar of actual genie-like magic. In conclusion, request this as your most wished-for Christmas present, or buy yourself this as a secret treat – because, why not?

Deborah Mitchell’s Bee Peel is priced at £64 (30ml) and is available to buy at Heaven.
