HonestReview: Benton Skincare that I've tried (Toner, Moisturizer)

Assalamualaikum & Salam Ceria
Benton Aloe BHA Skin toner, Snail Bee High Content Lotion, Snail Bee High Content Steam Content, Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

            Benton is a Korean skincare company and the name itself derived from Benjamin Button, which is inspired from a movie whereby the man ages backwards. In this movie, Brad Pitt started his life as an old man and then slowly he became younger as time goes by. Eh wait, I'm not trying to review a movie right now, ahaha. So, basically that's the concept of this company.


When I first started trying Benton, I was worried. My face had break out and trying a new product is  a brave act for me.

<This post is based on personal view and not from a medical view. No payment was made for me to be this diligent to write this>


These are the products that I've tried. Since I've finished all of the products, I'll just be showing you guys the picture taken from google ya.


  1. Benton Aloe BHA Skin toner

Benton Aloe BHA Skin toner

I even made a video to show the consistency of the toner to uolls. Sorry for bad video quality. *cough

The price actually varies depends on where you'd buy online. I preferred buying through Lazada / Shopee. But made sure buy it from a trusted seller who sell original products. I would say the price would be around RM30-RM50. 


The consistency is like you'd a runny nose. It is not that sticky. It contains 0.5%  BHA (beta hydroxy acid) which can act as daily chemical exfoliator. It also contains aloe vera, snail secretion filtrate and hyaluronic acid which works great for hydration purposes. Using this toner can remove some of my dead skin and blackheads (I noticed this after changing to other toner, so I getback with this toner). Anyway you guys can also check up cosdna for details of the ingredients. I highly recommended this product to acne prone skin or to someone who wants to try chemical exfoliator which is very mild.

It doesn't cause itchiness or redness for me.
An easy 5/5 for me.


          2. Snail Bee High Content Lotion

Snail Bee High Content Lotion


I'd ran out of this product. It is a lotion which is less heavy than moisturizer. Love this lotion because it really gives that hydration. I kinda forget how much this cost but the price varies based on where'd you buy from. The only thing that I would like to complain is about how small the bottle is. Otherwise, the consistency is like creamy, gives hydration and gives sense of warmth to the skin (??). The smell is ok. Check cosdna if you guys want to see the full ingredients. 

Love this product, I'll give 4/5 since it gives hydration I needed.


        3. Snail Bee High Content Steam Content

Snail Bee High Content Steam Content (Moisturizer)

I'd just realized I used a lot of snail products + bee venom before ahaha. This one is a moisturizer, thicker than a lotion. Lotion and moisturizer had the same purpose but lotion targets for oily skin and moisturizer targets for dry skin theoretically. But you guys are welcomed to experiment anything you guys want. This moisturizer had thick consistency that your skin will feel drowning in hydration. Sometimes, I think it will be too thick for me to apply this during daytime in good all year around summer of Malaysia. This product also gives the sense of warmth to my skin but no itchiness detected. This product doesn't clog my skin so it doesn't break me out despite the heaviness that it gives. I recommended this if you guys wanted something RICH for your skin. Really improved my skin consistency (due to good hydration).

I gave this 3.98/5 because I cannot really wear this comfortably during daytime.
Great for night time though.


       4. Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

This essence I bought when I first tried The Ordinary Niacinamide. But because my skin's barrier was not fully armored at that time, I learnt that I need to layer my skin with essence first before using serum. It really does its job layering well and my skin wasn't hurt / feel sting sensations when I applied niacinamide serum on my skin. The consistency is almost gel-like but it is not sticky. The colour is clear.

Essence is actually not one of the main basic skincare routine but it falls under 7 step skincare routine. So adding essence is not a must.

I give this essence 4/5.


Among the products that I've mentioned, the product that I'd always buy again is toner. The other products, it is not that I don't want to buy again, but my curiosity towards other products overpower my loyalty towards one product. But at least, deep down I know that my skin would always accept most of benton products which I am grateful. Of course we have to be grateful to find our 'soulmate' / holygrail product. 

I'm still eyeing for Benton eye cream but waiting for my economy status to be stable (>,<)


Psst, if you guys want to buy from Lazada / Shopee, download shopback apps first. So you guys can get back your money after buying your skin care products. 


Click this link - https://app.shopback.com/mys?raf=ldgRc4  to get immediate RM5 to your account.  I regretted not to find any referral link so I can get free RM5. But remember, before buying from any site, enter through this shopback apps first then choose your preferred site from there. This is how shopback can trace your shopping or your shopping will go to waste.

Lama menyepi

Assalamualaikum dan salam ceria,



          Sejak kena tegur pasal post sebelum ni, dah makin malas nak update. Aku sekarang ni dah masuk year 4, aku rasa universiti lain tak masuk lagi sem baru tapi biasalah universitiku begitu pantas ahaha. Year 4 akan jadi sangat panjang sampai 56 weeks.


Lelah.jpg

      Currently, aku tengah penat hidup nomad. Tapi orang kata, hidup kena enjoy every moments. Tengah cuba untuk redha part itu.


Buka-buka blogger (dah beberapa bulan tak buka), nampak ada banyak gila komen pending yang tak berbalas masa bulan 4 atau 5. Kebanyakan kat post-post pasal asasi, medic dengan MUET. Kalau ada sebarang pertanyaan, sebenarnya bertanya dengan aku pun dah kurang relevan. Banyak post-post itu dah outdated.. 


Kalau nak fast-reply, contact through dm twitter @aisyahxyz atau insta @syazizul. Takyah follow pun takpa, terus je dm, okay? Sebab komen-komen kat blog ni, nanti aku terlepas pandang..

Mengimbau memori debat / bahas



Assalamualaikum dan salam ceria

Sejak masuk clinical years (Year 3, 4, 5), aku tak nafikan yang kurikulum dia makin mencabar tapi satu benda lagi yang aku perasan ialah, masa lapang pun semakin banyak (sebab kalau ikutkan masa lapang tu kena pergi hospital, auch). Tapi year 5 memang busylah, itu tak boleh nafikanlah. Sejak masuk Kolej Kasturi, tiba-tiba saja, pelajar medic kena rebut merit. Selama ini, kitaorang memang dah dijanjikan confirm dapat kolej, tapi bila masuk year 3, kena kumpul merit untuk terus stay kat kolej. Inilah nasib kami ceh


Dan,
Beberapa hari lepas, kawan aku tanya, nak tak ikut berlatih untuk team debat wakil Kasturi. 


Awalnya, rasa macam keberatan. Sebab kan, kalau sapa yang tahu bahas ala parlimen, akan ada 5 orang menteri. 3 orang menteri hadapan yang utama, dan 2 orang menteri kat belakang (hanya muncul masa izin laluan / celahan). Aku dulu pernah masuk masa sekolah jadi menteri 4 ke menteri ke 5 yang muncul sekali atau dua kali saja untuk mencelah. So, in short; aku tak mahir bercakap panjang lebar untuk goreng ayat.

Gambar ihsan google
Menteri belakang yang 2 orang itu, hanya bercakap dalam waktu pendek saja.



Tapi, bila kat universiti, 
Sistem yang digunakan ialah hanya 3 menteri di hadapan. Tiada 2 menteri di belakang. 



Bila berpeluang untuk jadi menteri 2 dengan 3 ni, walaupun olok-olok (sebab team debat kolej perlukan orang untuk berlatih), aku terimbau kembali masa zaman sekolah; zaman aku kenal perdebatan. Seriously, kalau tanya performance aku masa debat ni, pergh susah beb. Banyak aku tersasul, tak tau nak cakap apa, gagap lagi. Debat ini mengingatkan aku, fear aku; which is bercakap dalam tempoh masa yang lama, yang berbentuk fakta. 


Bukan masa debat je, masa present case pun, aku kadang-kadang macam tak konfiden sangat bila bercakap. 


Hopefully, dengan debat ni aku dapat conquer masalah dan fear aku which is bercakap depan orang ramai. Skill yang lecturers selalu tekankan (communication dan presenting skills), penting untuk graduan universiti kena ada. But in the end, apa yang penting ialah "walk the talk", kau debat-debat tapi tak ada usaha, hasil pun tak akan nampak umpama tin kosong yang diketuk, bunyinya lebih kuat daripada tin yang berisi. 


Sapa ada pengalaman cakap kat depan orang ramai, 
Jadi emcee ke, debat ke, pidato ke, ada tips tak? hehe
