I bought this after heaving a lot of rave about this product, so I decided to try it. I've tried the COSRX Snail Essence, and I would say the Benton one works better at reducing redness and acne scars. It contains no scent, and applies smoothly and dries pretty quickly. I would definitely repurchase this once I run out!

I have combination skin in which just my forehead, nose, and the area between my bottom lip and chin are acne-prone/oilier whereas the rest of my face especially the area between my eyebrows and my cheek area are excessively dry areas. The serum comes out kind of like a gel, applies almost like water, has no odor, and is the tiniest bit tacky while drying. I initially couldn’t tell it was doing anything for my skin, but overtime, I noticed my skin was much smoother and supple. The places in which I get acne prominently are less likely to break out too, although my my nose sometimes still likes to give me a hard time. The dry spots on my face have definitely improved more in the hydration aspect. I use this serum one in the morning and once at night, both are after I wash my face. With only one pump, I get full face coverage so that’s a plus. I really like this product as the first step to my two-step moisturizing routine, and I would definitely recommend it to someone who has dry skin.

This really is as most the reviews say the holy grail product. I follow the Korean skin care routine and all of them said its so essential to find a good essence. After less than a week of use I already saw improvement in my skin. I have extra dry skin and this has my skin looking 10x more healthier. My complexion is much more balanced out, hydrated and overall improved the elasticity in my skin. I have other friends with combination and acne prone sensitive skin and they said this helped a lot. No break outs, fades year long acne scars/dark spits, and leaves your skin exuding a beautiful natural glow. Honestly, this is my favorite product of my skin care routine!
