How it works
The Deep Green Tea Serum is a 35ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassoside, Tocopherol and Biosaccharide Gum-1, 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 serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Benton sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.

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. The name on the box points at it, and it is named seventh on this serum's own ingredient list.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named twenty-fourth on this serum's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named twenty-seventh on this serum's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Biosaccharide Gum-1polysaccharide
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel. It is named twentieth on this serum's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Camellia Sinensis Root Extractplant extract
Tea plant root extract rather than leaf extract. The root carries saponins instead of the catechins concentrated in the leaf, so it has a mild self foaming character. The panel names it eighth on this serum's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. 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 serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all. We match this serum 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?
Madecassoside, Tocopherol and Biosaccharide Gum-1. The order they are printed in on this serum'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: Camellia Sinensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Seed Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract.

How to use
- Use it twice a day after the watery step, on a clean face and before any cream.
- Warm a small amount between the fingertips first, then press it over the cheeks, forehead and chin.
- Give it thirty seconds to settle before the next layer goes on, which is what keeps anything from balling up.
- Avoid applying it to skin that is completely dry after a long gap, since a thin layer spreads much further on damp skin.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the list.
- Introduce this serum on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract rather than to three changes at once.
