This is my last Benton Review, and the last two Benton products I added to my line-up. It feels so good to be done! Of the two products, one is a toner, and the other is a sheet mask. Of the two products, I would have to say only the sheet masks have real re-purchase quality; the toner is just too forgettable to really want to buy again.

The Benton High Content Snail Bee Skin is a thin, clear liquid with about the same viscosity as water. It has no appreciable scent. It comes in a translucent brown bottle with a pump dispenser – I like the pump on this toner better than the opening on Benton’s other toner. Generally, I pat about four or five pumps all over my face and neck. Within a minute or two, the toner has absorbed and my skin is ready for my moisturizers. I have had no adverse reactions to it, although I will note that like the Lotion and Steam Cream, it stings like crazy if it gets into open scratches or sores.

Unfortunately, I can’t give an accurate ingredient listing, as I stupidly threw out the box with the English translation. However, the product description on the bottle says the Snail Bee High Content Skin:

Is for all types of skins including sensitive. Instead of water, the product uses snail secretion filtrate and camellia sinensis leaf water, bee venom, and EGF to cleans your rough and damaged skin from various stresses and pollution. IN addition to the skin soothing, moisture supply and skin tone improvement functions, Niacinamide and Adenosine contents of the product help you whitening skin and remove wrinkles.

With that mouthful said… this toner didn’t really fill me with ardor when I started using it. It still doesn’t. On one hand it does the basic job of a toner – prime the skin for moisturizer absorption. But it doesn’t really do anything else; I didn’t notice any decrease in redness or irritation levels once I started using it, nor is it particularly moisturizing on it’s own. I would rate it slightly higher than the Benton Aloe BHA toner for one reason, and one reason only – it doesn’t give me the irritating “burning/itching” sensation that the Aloe BHA toner does in dry weather, making it more suitable for places with low humidity. If you’re very sensitive to scent, or don’t want hyaluronic acid in your toner, this wouldn’t be a bad choice. However, I’m probably not going to repurchase – there are a lot of other toners out there, and I’d like to try them out.

In contrast to the toner, the Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack is a much more exciting product. I know it doesn’t look exciting, but believe me, it is. The Sheet mask is your basic cotton/paper sheet mask in an enclosed foil envelope. Like the rest of the Benton line, the packaging is pretty utilitarian – just the usual brown-on-brown color scheme, describing what the product does. The description is the same as the skin, above, so I won’t bother to reproduce it. However, the ingredient listing is also in English this time:
