How it works
The Snail Bee Ultimate Toner is a 150ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The humectant it is built around is Snail Secretion Filtrate, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Bee Venom, so the humectant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Snail Secretion 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, Snail Secretion Filtrate and all.

Key actives
Snail Secretion Filtratehumectant
Snail Secretion Filtrate is the mucin a snail produces, filtered for cosmetic use, and it is the ingredient the Korean snail category is built on. It carries glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, and it is used for hydration and a smoother-looking surface. The name on the box points at it, and it is named first on this toner's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it eighth on this toner's list, beside Snail Secretion Filtrate.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The panel names it sixteenth on this toner's list, beside Snail Secretion Filtrate.
Bee Venomactive
Bee venom collected from honeybees, carrying the peptide melittin along with enzymes. It is a Korean formulation ingredient used at very low levels, and it is a known allergen for people sensitive to stings. It is named thirty-fourth on this toner's list, alongside Snail Secretion Filtrate.
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 thirty-sixth on this toner's list, beside Snail Secretion Filtrate.
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 Snail Secretion Filtrate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Snail Secretion 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 Snail Secretion Filtrate?
Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Bee Venom. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Snail Secretion Filtrate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Allantoin, Adenosine and Hexapeptide-9.

How to use
- Press it on as the first leave-on step of the morning and evening, on skin still damp from the sink.
- Two or three passes with the palms cover the whole face and use less than a cotton round would.
- Go over the sides of the nose and the jaw, the two places most people leave dry.
- Avoid dragging a soaked cotton round across the cheeks, since the pull is harder on the skin than the liquid is.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Snail Secretion Filtrate on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Snail Secretion Filtrate rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
