How it works
The Fermentation Galactomyces 99 Skin Toner is a 150ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The ferment it is built around is Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract and Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, so the ferment is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner Benton sells in Korea, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and all.

Key actives
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
a fermented filtrate used across Korean 'essence' formulas for its lightweight finish. It sits at position 1 of 6 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Caprylhydroxamic Acid
Named directly on this formula's own ingredient list, at position 3 of 6 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Skin Extract
Named directly on this formula's own ingredient list, at position 4 of 6 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract
Named directly on this formula's own ingredient list, at position 5 of 6 on this label's own ingredient list. This is read from the manufacturer's own listed order rather than assumed from the product name, which is what separates a genuine formula component from a name-only claim.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner 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 Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and all. We match this toner 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 Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate?
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract and Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate sits relative to them. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate itself is named first on it.

How to use
- Use it right after cleansing while the face is still slightly damp, which is when a watery layer spreads furthest.
- Pour a little into your palms or onto a cotton round and press it over the face rather than rubbing it in.
- Follow within a minute with your serum and moisturizer, so the water you just added has something to sit under.
- Do not let it dry down completely before the next step, since a bare surface undoes most of what this layer is for.
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.
