I was very excited when I won the giveaway through Picky to try the Benton essence! I have been using this essence for about a month, using it AM and PM following the Benton Aloe BHA Toner as my serum step. I used 1 full pump, which is enough to apply to face and neck, applied with my fingers, patting into the skin until it absorbs completely. The texture is more like a gel, but it changes over to a more watery texture upon application. 🐝Pros: · Very cooling and soothing when applied to skin · Sinks into skin easily and layers well with other products · Super lightweight texture, not at all greasy or sticky like other mucin products · Skin feels soft, moisturized and hydrated after applying · Gentle and helps to calm redness · Observed some brightening and skin appears plump and more even toned 🐌Cons: · Lower percentage of snail secretion filtrate vs. other similar products (only 13.05%) · Niacinamide is also a pretty low percentage at only 2%, which may limit the brightening effects compared to other brands 🐝Final Thoughts and Rating: I liked using this essence quite a bit, as I really liked the texture and absorbability. I do wish it had a higher percentage of snail mucin as my skin reacts well and I like the skin protecting qualities. While I enjoyed using this essence, I didn’t really see any visible brightening effects either as it does only have 2% niacinamide and I’m used to a higher percentage. I did not experience any irritation, but it is always a good idea to patch test before trying a new product. If you have any sensitivity to bees, you probably to skip this product due to the bee venom ingredient. I think the Benton essence is a great beginner product for people to try snail mucin, especially if you are grossed out with the stickiness and slimy texture. You can get the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence on sale for under $15.
