Rodial, the premium skincare brand rumoured to be a favourite of Kate Middleton, has launched its summer sale with discounts of up to 84% off. The 24 Carat Bee Venom Kit, which includes the Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème — reportedly one of the Princess of Wales's go-to moisturisers — is now priced at £125, down from £805.
What's in the Kit?
The kit contains three products: the Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème, a Bee Venom Hydrogel Face Mask, and a Bee Venom Eye Cream Mini. Individually, the mask costs £20 and the eye cream £35, making the cream's effective price in the bundle just £70 — a significant saving from its usual £750 price tag.
The hero ingredient, bee venom, is ethically sourced and works to smooth, firm, and plump the skin. The cream also contains BIO-PROTEINOL, a patented extract from bovine placenta, which enhances moisture and absorption of other active ingredients. The set is not vegetarian or vegan-friendly.
Customer Reviews
One five-star reviewer of the kit said: "I have been using these products for years — fabulous!" The cream alone has garnered glowing testimonials. A user commented: "Great texture — lots of compliments since starting to use 2 months ago. A little pricey but wait until it's on offer." Another added: "So, I've only been using it for 4 days and nights. But today at work a colleague who's been on mat leave was in the office and greeted me with 'how have I been away for a year but you look years younger'. I'll take that!" A third reviewer stated: "The best cream I've ever used! Certainly taken a few years off my 57 year old face."
However, some customers noted the cream's smell as a drawback. A two-star review read: "Don't like the smell and looks quite cheap for this cream with luxury ingredient..."
Additional Discounts
Rodial's summer sale also extends to other products. Using the code SUMMER30, shoppers can get 30% off selected items, excluding the Salmon DNA Water Oil, Kits, and Outlet items. The Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel is reduced to £66.50 from £95, and the Banana Lowlighter is now £26.60 down from £38.
The Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel, a weightless formula with Collageneer, Volufiline, and glycerin, showed in a clinical trial that 80% of participants saw smoother skin, 92% experienced firmer skin, and 72% noticed a reduction in sagging over 89 days.
For those seeking vegan alternatives, Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Water Cream at £79 offers a waterlocking technology with niacinamide and biopeptide complex, providing a dewy, glass-like finish.
