How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Tone

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESUltra-lightweight, watery texture absorbs instantly without adding shine. Green tea polyphenols help regulate sebum production and reduce T-zone oiliness.
The 7 types of hyaluronic acid provide excellent hydration. However, very dry skin may need a richer moisturizer or facial oil layered on top for sufficient nourishment.
Balances oil and moisture perfectly across different face zones. Hydrates dry areas without overloading oily zones. An ideal match for combination skin routines.
Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dermatologically tested. Green tea, centella, and panthenol actively calm irritation and redness. A go-to serum for reactive skin.
Very low comedogenic rating (1/5) and anti-inflammatory ingredients help calm breakouts. However, not fungal acne safe. Non-sticky formula won't aggravate existing acne.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, this serum is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any known harmful ingredients such as retinoids, salicylic acid (BHA), hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. While it includes willow bark extract (which contains natural salicin), the concentration is far too low to act as a chemical exfoliant. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No, this serum is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which are known potential triggers for malassezia yeast overgrowth. If you are prone to fungal acne, consider alternatives like the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence which is fungal acne safe.
Yes, this serum is compatible with all major actives. Its soothing green tea, centella asiatica, and panthenol content can actually help buffer irritation caused by retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, and BHAs. Apply the serum after your active treatment to calm the skin, or use it in your alternate (non-active) routine for recovery. There are no ingredient conflicts.
This serum excels for oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. Its lightweight, watery texture provides hydration without heaviness, making it ideal for those who need moisture without added shine. It's also excellent for acne-prone skin (non-fungal) due to its low comedogenic rating. Dry skin types can still benefit but should layer a richer moisturizer on top.
Hydration and soothing effects are noticeable from the very first application. Visible reduction in redness and improved oil balance typically appear within 2-3 weeks of consistent use. Improved skin texture and clarity generally become apparent after 4-6 weeks. Long-term antioxidant benefits build over 8+ weeks of daily use.
Apply this serum at Step 3 of your routine: after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer and sunscreen. If you use other treatment serums (like vitamin C or retinol), apply those first and let them absorb, then follow with this serum for its soothing and hydrating benefits. It can be used both morning and evening.
This serum has a very low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. The only ingredients with any comedogenic potential are Butylene Glycol and Tocopherol, both rated at 1. The overall formula is unlikely to clog pores for the vast majority of users. It is a safe choice for acne-prone and oily skin types concerned about breakouts.
The serum has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. The airless pump design helps protect the formula from air exposure and contamination, extending its shelf life. Store in a cool, dry place and use the cap pin to block the pump inlet when not in use. Most users report a single 30ml bottle lasting approximately 2-3 months with twice-daily use.
Verdict: The Benton Deep Green Tea Serum is a solid, no-fuss hydrating serum that delivers exactly what it promises — gentle soothing, lightweight hydration, and antioxidant protection. The 53% Boseong green tea complex combined with 7 types of hyaluronic acid creates a genuinely effective formula for sensitive and oily skin types. Its clean, fragrance-free formulation and eco-conscious packaging are commendable. The main drawback is the small bottle size relative to the price point, and the lack of powerhouse actives like niacinamide or vitamin C means it works best as a supporting player in a broader routine. If you're looking for a gentle, calming serum that won't irritate reactive skin, this is an excellent choice — but shoppers seeking dramatic visible results may want to pair it with targeted treatments.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
