Product Feature: Benton Snail Bee

Benton Snail Bee

Since I have been introduced to Asian Skincare, specifically Korean brands, I have stumbled upon the most interesting ingredients that I would not normally apply on skin have I not kept an open mind. Snail and bee venom is not new to me anymore, however, I know that a lot of people are still in the dark about these 2 potent skin care ingredient.

Benton Cosmetics Snail Bee line banks on the power of these two unique creatures. It may not be vegan skincare option but, hear me out – it is really good.

Snail Secretion Filtrate

This is the mucus that the snails produce when they move. It contains tons of nutrients and is known for its anti-aging, hydrating and soothing properties. It contains hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein, proteoglycans and other antimicrobial bodies that help the snail’s skin from infection, dryness and damage. These benefits can apply to our skin too!

Bee Venom

This venom is the natural alternative to botox. It smoothens and firms fine lines by stimulating facial muscles. Aside from skincare, bee venom is also used in the medical field to treat arthritis, nerve pain and multiple sclerosis.

Snail Bee High Content Skin Toner

Adding Camellia Sinesis Leaf Water into the mix of Snail Secretion Filtrate and Bee Venom, this toner hydrates and smoothen the skin.

The product is dispensed in a plastic pump bottle. This watery toner is very liquid and does not contain any chemical viscosity ingredient. It is also unscented and colorless.

I applied this toner after cleansing. Since it is as liquid as water, I only apply one pump at a time because the toner will only run and spill down to the crevices between my fingers. Absorption is perfect; it sinks in quickly in to the skin. No burning sensation, no stings and no skin dry dryness.

Available at Joahye ($16.90)

Snail Bee Ultimate Serum

This serum is part of the Snail Bee Ultimate Line which banks on the full potential of the basic Snail Bee line. Let’s just say that this is the platinum line of the Snail Bee experience.

Notable ingredients aside from snail secretion filtrate and bee venom includes: Sodium Hyaluronate, Camellia Sinesis Leaf water, Aloe Leaf Juice Extract, Tea Tree Leaf Water and Niacimide.

Benefits includes skin nourishment, skin damage prevention, corrects hyperpigmentation, improves skin tone and texture.

The serum is clear and has a viscous consistency. It spreads smoothly to the skin without leaving any greasiness or tackiness. It is also unscented.

I use this serum right after I used the Snail Bee toner. It is absorbed fast and it leaves the skin feeling smooth and looking suppler.

This light weight facial cream has a naturally clean and fresh scent that comes from the ingredients. It does not contain any synthetic fragrances. I use this cream after applying serum. It goes on the skin smoothly and dries to a silky soft finish.

What I like about this cream is that it seals in all the moisture from the toner and serum as well as add another layer of hydration, making my skin feel nourished. On top of that, it does not make my skin feel greasy or oily throughout the day.
