Snail, bee venom and green tea, at a drugstore price
Benton built itself on Snail Bee High Content, the range that pairs snail secretion filtrate with bee venom, and the sheet mask and steam cream in that line are still the items it is best known for. The Deep Green Tea range is the other half of the brand, covering toner, lotion, serum and cleansing foam.
The actives that recur are panthenol, allantoin, sodium hyaluronate, green tea and peptides. There are also two mineral sunscreens, a PHA peeling gel, a body lotion and an eye patch jar at 60 pieces. The 10-sheet mask boxes are the Korean format, and they are most of the reason the per-sheet price here is what it is.
Snail Bee or Deep Green Tea?
Snail Bee if your skin is dry or marked, Deep Green Tea if it is oily or congested, and those are genuinely opposite ends. Within Snail Bee, the sheet mask box is the cheap way to decide whether you like the formula before the steam cream. Deep Green Tea works as a set because the toner, lotion and serum are formulated as one ladder. The PHA peeling gel is the mildest exfoliating acid family and is the one to choose if you have found AHAs too much.
Is bee venom a real ingredient or a gimmick?
It is a real and unusual ingredient, and it is also an allergen, which is the part that matters more than whether it works. If you react to bee stings, this range is not for you, and that is a decision you should make from the ingredient list rather than from the product name. The list on each page here is the one from the Korean unit, which is also where snail secretion filtrate's position in the list tells you how much of it there is.
