| Verdict | The product that built Benton's cult following, and it still holds up. Snail mucin for repair, bee venom for anti-inflammatory action, niacinamide for brightening, and a touch of EGF for cell turnover — it's a thoughtfully stacked formula at a price that makes Western alternatives look absurd. The texture is lighter than COSRX's snail essence, absorbing faster with less residual stickiness. Particularly effective for post-acne marks and general redness. The bee venom concentration is low enough to be gentle but present enough to be functional. | A 95% bifida ferment essence that earns its place next to Mixsoon's Bean and Galactomyces — barrier-strengthening probiotic skincare with no filler. |
