“Snail Secretion Filtrate provides anti-aging benefits and helps to fade acne scars Bee Venom helps to firm skin and improve skin complexion Also contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water which has anti-oxidants and also anti-inflammatory properties INGREDIENTS HOW TO USE Apply an appropriate amount to the face and pat gently to aid absorption.”
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: copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-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.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Panthenol + 18 moreWorks well
“DESCRIPTION Benton Snail Bee High Content Skin Toner is a skin toner that helps to keep the skin smooth and hydrated.”
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:
betaine, glycerin.
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: palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-11, hexapeptide-9, niacinamide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, tripeptide-1

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.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, Salix alba bark extract + 2 moreWorks well
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.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.45%, tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-11 0.15% - 0.50% and copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Adenosine 0.05% - 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).
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.90% - 1.30%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- Humectants (hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.50%, panthenol 0.90% - 1.30%, betaine 1.10% - 1.60%, glycerin 2.90% - 4.40% and snail secretion filtrate 25.00% - 37.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
