What should I feel when I apply this bee venom balm? — SOFJA BALM WITH BEE VENOM 75ML (KorolevFarm)

The balm is a warming massage cosmetic, not a heat pack and not a medicine. The key active is bee venom (apitoxin from Apis mellifera), and the warm, tingling, sometimes lively sensation you feel is the expected effect. Naturally occurring compounds in the venom, including peptides such as melittin, interact with the skin surface and create that stimulated sensation. It should feel noticeable, but not painful. Many people describe it as a pleasant warmth that works well with rubbing on the back, shoulders, legs, or neck zone. If you are new to this type of product, take a small amount and massage it gently so you can get used to the sensation before using more. The intensity differs from person to person, and it usually fades gradually after application. If it ever feels intensely burning or uncomfortable, wash the area with mild soap and water and stop using the balm. The warmth is not an indication that something is wrong; it is precisely why this product is chosen for self-massage. At the same time, it is not a moisturizer or a facial product, so use it only as a body massage balm.
