How it works
PHA Peeling Gel is a peeling gel from Benton. Benton is a Korean skincare brand built on short, named-active formulas, running the same core named actives across its toner, essence, cream and serum lines rather than reformulating a new base for each product. On this jar's own ingredient list, Ceramide NP, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Cellulose are named directly, which is what the key-actives panel on this page is built from rather than from the product name alone. Ceramide NP is a barrier lipid included to support the skin's own barrier structure, and it is why this peeling gel is positioned the way it is. Benton sells this as the Korean-market formula, the same one stocked on shelves in Korea rather than a version built for the US market.

How to use
- Massage over dry skin in small circles, avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
What is PHA Peeling Gel?
It is Benton's peeling gel (70ml). Its own ingredient list names Ceramide NP, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Cellulose, positioned the way the key-actives panel on this page describes, rather than actives assumed from the product name. It is used on dry skin, massaged in and rinsed off as a weekly exfoliating step.
How do I use PHA Peeling Gel?
Massage over dry skin in small circles, avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Keep the same order every time you use it so you can tell what is actually working, and give a new step a few weeks before judging the result.
Is PHA Peeling Gel the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. This listing is Benton's Korean-market formula: the same ingredient list, barcode and batch code as the unit sold on shelves in Korea, rather than a version reformulated for US retail. That is the whole reason to buy a Korean-market brand from a specialist rather than a general retailer.
What does Benton make besides PHA Peeling Gel?
Benton is a Korean skincare brand built on short, named-active formulas, running the same core named actives across its toner, essence, cream and serum lines rather than reformulating a new base for each product. Peeling gel sits alongside the rest of Benton's catalog on our site, all sourced and sold the same way.
Who is PHA Peeling Gel suited for?
It suits normal, combination and oily skin, and it is not restricted to any one skin tone or age group. As with any new step, patch-test on the inner arm first if you are new to this formula or to Benton.

16 of 17 explained
- Aqua solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Cellulose absorbent
- Cellulose is plant fibre. In a formula it thickens, absorbs oil and, in a sheet mask, is often the fabric itself.
- Pentylene Glycol humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate emollient
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a coconut-derived ester used as a light, dry emollient in place of silicone. It spreads far and leaves a soft finish.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Ceramide NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer thickener
- This is a synthetic thickener that gels quickly and holds an emulsion stable across a wide pH range. It gives a light, non-tacky body.
- Lactobionic Acid exfoliant
- Lactobionic Acid is a polyhydroxy acid, the gentlest of the acid families because the molecule is large and slow to travel. It is also a strong humectant.
- Allantoin active
- 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.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
4 more explained
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate barrier lipid
- An ester built from plant sterols, a fatty alcohol and the amino acid glutamic acid. It mimics the lipids between skin cells and helps hold water in.
- Sodium Gluconate chelator
- The sodium salt of gluconic acid, used to tie up trace metals so a formula stays stable. It is one of the gentler chelators.
