Key actives
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is the entry this foam cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it thirtieth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. It is named sixteenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. It is named seventeenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Black willow bark extract. Willow bark carries salicin and tannins, and it is the botanical route to a salicylate rather than a synthetic salicylic acid. The panel names it eighteenth on this foam cleanser's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
How to use
- Work into a lather on damp skin, massage over the face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Where does this foam cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this foam cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market foam cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all. We match this foam cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Punica Granatum Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Deep Green Tea Cleansing Foam is a 120g foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named twenty-third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the foam cleanser Benton sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- New to this formula or to the brand: patch-test on the inner arm and wait a day before applying it to the face.
- Discontinue use and rinse the area with water if redness, itching or irritation develops.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
