| Verdict | Benton extends Snail Bee into a treatment serum — same hero combo as the cult essence, in a pre-essence step for those who layer their entire routine. | At-home microneedling in a bottle. The spicules are made from freshwater sponges and feel like tiny prickles as you massage them in — the sensation is alarming the first time but completely normal. Over 4-8 weeks, it genuinely improves texture, reduces pore visibility, and smooths scarring. Start with the 100 concentration before graduating to 300 or 700. |
