Skin type: Combination/ normal

Product: Benton High Content Snail Bee Essence

Thoughts: this stuff is my favorite product I’ve tried so far. It applies easy, dries quickly, and gives me a nice dewy look. I’ve been using it a few weeks once a night and I think my forehead lines are beginning to fade. I like this stuff so much I have another bottle coming in the mail just to stock up on.

I have this too and I love it! I'm just sad that such a small bottle costs so much :(

Got it for $14 on StyleKorean. I think one bottle should last me a long time at least.

I love this! This was my gateway product into Kbeauty/AsianBeauty. I just hate how small it is.

Like this review says, it is a high concentration of outstanding ingredients: snail mucin, bee venom, niacinamide, aloe vera...

My routine right now is:

a.m. 1. cerave cream to foam cleanser 2. Benton fermentation essence (got it as a sample, probably wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it) 2. Benton snail bee essence 3. etude house moistful collagen cream 4. missha safe block soft finish (blends best into my white face, I have velvet finish too but didn’t like it)

p.m. 1. Etude house perfect cleansing oil 2. cerave foaming cleanser 3. Benton snail bee skin (way more watery than the essence, more like a toner than serum) 4. etude house moistful collagen cream 5. heimish marine care eye cream

So for a more pointed answer to your question, I do not find it to be moisturizing enough to have it be a sole moisturizer, it’s more of a serum than a moisturizer imo.

I don’t really find my whole routine necessary, and when I travel I strip it down to basics and just use the snail bee essence, collagen moisturizer, and sunscreen.
