Product summary
"Benton - Snail Bee High Content Lotion" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Anti-aging, Evens skin tone, Anti-blemish and Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.80% - 2.20%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Peptides (sh-oligopeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Adenosine 0.15% - 0.25%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Humectants (urea 0.45% - 0.65%, glycerin 3.00% - 3.70%, sodium hyaluronate 1.50% - 1.80% and snail secretion filtrate 3.80% - 4.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Snail Secretion Filtrate provides anti-aging benefits and helps to fade acne scars Bee Venom helps to firm skin and improve skin tone and texture Niacinamide helps to brighten skin tone
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: sh-oligopeptide-1.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| adenosine | HIGH |  |  |
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
| sh-oligopeptide-1 | MEDIUM | | |

Promise: Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Snail Secretion Filtrate provides anti-aging benefits and helps to fade acne scars Bee Venom helps to firm skin and improve skin tone and texture Niacinamide helps to brighten skin tone
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Enriched with snail filtrate, bee venom, hyaluronic acid, EGF (epidermal growth factor), phytosqualane and hollyhock roots, this lotion helps to moisturize, soothe and brighten skin.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, snail secretion filtrate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, sh-oligopeptide-1, urea
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| urea | HIGH | | |
| beta-glucan | HIGH | | |
| carthamus tinctorius seed oil | HIGH | | |

Other benefit: Anti-blemish
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
| beta-glucan | LOW | | |
| lauric acid | LOW | | |
