Reddit mentions of BENTON Snail Bee High content Steam Cream 50g (1.76 oz.) - Contains Snail Secretion Filtrate, Bee Venom, Hyaluronic Acid, Intensive Moisturizing Cream & Anti-Wrinkle Effect

::Deep breath::

AM & PM:

• Slap some o' this stuff all over my face: Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid. This shit is the shit. It makes everything else absorb better. Less slug life, more actual benefits.
  
  
• Snail Goo! Bee Goo! This is very calming, and helps with redness and itchiness from the tret irritation.
  
• Sometimes an ampoule but I haven't found an exceptional one yet.
  
• More magic: This Donkey-flavored cream. Sometimes, my face is so unhappy that even Cerave stings. This always helps. Plus, the name makes me giggle every time I open it. Don't buy it at this price, though. Memebox runs lots of sales, and I can stock up for more like $25. I'd like to find a cheaper dupe.
  
• Draw a goatee on myself with a thick cream (where my peeling and redness are worst). I don't think this is particularly special, any heavy cream does the same thing. I carry it around all day, though, and reapply said goatee. Makes my skin feel less tight, helps with the red some more, and hides the edges of the peeling for a while.
  

Everything I'm recommending can be bought on Amazon fairly cheaply:

1st Cleanser (PM only to get rid of sunscreen or makeup): The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Rich Oil Dry Skin

2nd Cleanser: Cerave hydrating Cleanser

Hydrating Toner: [Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner] (https://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Alcohol-Paraben-Cruelty-Eco-friendly/dp/B00PGOFYG0) or
Hada Labo Rohto Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist

Medium Moisturizer: Cerve PM Moisturizing Lotion

Heavy Moisturizer: Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream

Sleeping Pack: Cosrx Ultimate Rice Overnight Mask

Sheet Mask: Benton Snail Bee High Content Sheet Mask, illi masks, MBD masks (these might be out of your price range as they are between $1-3 per use).

Sunscreen: [Biore Kids Sunscreen] (https://www.amazon.com/Japan-Health-Personal-Care-carefree/dp/B019IDQ57G)

Lips: Lanolin

Makeup
BB: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #13 (RP), Mizon Snail Repair Blemish Balm
Cushion: Innisfree
Concealer: Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

I would personally recommend Benton's Snail Bee High content Steam Cream. There's no fragrance, it's very moisturizing but non-greasy and more importantly it sinks in/absorbs quickly and isn't heavy feeling. It's also only $12.50 on amazon right now!

Have it and love it! Would recommend getting Benton Snail Bee Steam Cream if you like that kind of product (snail extract). It's calming & gets rid of redness/CCs like the Mizon Recovery Cream Gel. I use them both and my skin is extra happy this winter.

I do see it on Amazon Canada - Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream (50g) Korean Cosmetic Korean Beauty https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00T2TLCJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yNnTCbN0YCTHQ

You're welcome!! I'm so glad I could help :)

I very much feel your pain. Haha I came out of haunting reddit to be all 'corporeal form activate!!1' ;D

The trick seems to be going in gently with the actual cleansers--to not piss off the dry/sensitivity, which takes everything the wrong way and sits around literally waiting for a fight--and then bringing one big extremely straightforward KAPOW punch each time to take care of the breakouts/skin not turning over. (SUPER focused punch, unable to be misinterpreted, i.e. Retin-A/salicylic acid/Salux cloth)

Everything will stop freaking out and going into both extremes, and that turnover punch will SEVERELY cut down the breakouts. I still get them, because of course I do. But it isn't even 10% of what I used to fight with. It isn't even really a fight anymore.

Also, for trail and error experimenting to add on to your routine and find different ways to make the hateful anger stfu --> /r/AsianBeauty/ is always my first route. The technology and advancement is kind of mind-blowing.

My newest discovery. A keeper. I'm keeping it in the arsenal.

First of all, I am an employee at a major western beauty retailer in none other than the field of skin care. I am very familiar with ingredients and quite savvy at building skin care routines to fit my clients' needs... and I'm proud of it. That being said, I've found that many of the products my employer offers are too harsh or contain ingredients I don't agree with; in addition, we don't sell a huge variety of AB, at least not enough to satisfy my liking.

SOOOO, this is kind of new territory for me. I know one thing for a fact: I LOVE love LOVE snail. Below, I have a tentative list of AB products I have researched and have added to my Amazon.com cart and would love to hear from this community about my choices. I would love to hear recommendations as well. Below, I'll list the products by AM or PM routine (as I've planned).

A little background:

• Normal to Oily Skin
  
  
• Major concerns are PIH, CCs (usually hormonal), and texture issues.
  
  
• Semi-sensitive but mostly to strong AHAs, Benzoyl Peroxide, and Vitamin C is the WORST for my skin
  
  
  Tentative PM Products:
  
  
• Heimish All Clean Balm
  
  
• Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam
  
  
• Cosrx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
  
  
• Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
  
  
• Benton Snail Bee High content Steam Cream
  
  
  Tentative AM Products:
  
  
• Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser
  
  
• MISSHA Super Aqua Pore-Kling Toner
  
  
• Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum
  
  
• MISSHA Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream
  
  I would also like recommendations for a twice a week exfoliator (preferably Lactic Acid or Enzyme) and sheet mask recommendations to go along with my tentative routines?
  
  THANKS, GUYS. I know this is long, but I'd really appreciate the feedback.
  

I was using the First Aid Beauty Ultra-firm Night Cream, which has niacinamide in it. Unfortunately it gave me a lot of redness, but if you can get a sample I would try that out. A lot of CeraVe moisturizers have Niacinamide, and the Skin Renewing Night Cream has Niacinamide, Ceramides (including Ceramide 3 which, to my understanding, is the most beneficial) and Hyaluronic acid. I haven't used this, but a lot of people really love CeraVe products.

I am more familiar with these ingredients in asian skincare. If you are in the US, the Benton Steam Cream has both niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in it and dries to a matte finish, so you can wear it throughout the day and it's under $12 on Amazon. It also contains snail mucin which helps promote healing, and honey which helps fight acne and moisturizes. It works well as an occlusive layer for the daytime. For night, Vaseline or Aquaphor work really well.

I work in a lab, too, so I know how hard it can be on the skin. I like to bring a facial mist with me (any that you like is fine) to keep my hydration up during the day. I also use a hyaluronic acid serum. The one I use is asian (Mizon Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule) but there are tons of Hyaluronic products available. Let me know if you have more questions!

Hello! I just got all my products in the mail but I want to be clear about the order I will use them in at night. Any suggestions are welcome.

  ---KOSE Softy Mo Facial Cleansing Oil Speedy
  
  
• Foam Cleanser
  ---CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  
  
• Toner
  ---Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion
  
  
• Essence/Serum/Ampoule (not sure which I got)
  ---Cosrx Bha Blackhead Power Liquid
  
  
• Emulsion
  ---Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All in one cream
  
  
• Facial Mask (2-3 times/week)
  ---My Beauty Diary Facial Mask, Black Pearl
  
  
• Cream
  ---Benton Snail Bee High content Steam Cream
  
  
• Sleeping Packs (2-3times/week)
  ---Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask
  
  Also I bought this facial oil Goodal Waterest Lasting Water Ad Oil but I'm not sure where to squeeze it into my routine?
  
  In the morning I was going to use:
  
  
• Foam Cleanser
  ---CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  
  
• Toner
  ---Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion
  
  
• Sunscreen
  ---Biore Sarasara UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++

I like these products that I regularly use:

• [Cosrx] Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
  
• [Cosrx] Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream
  
• Benton Snail Bee High content Steam Cream

The only issue with using the retinoid + benzoyl combo is dryness. I think there is some research showing that benzoyl peroxide reduces the effectiveness of retinoids but that is only if they are applied at the same time. So by using the wash off version of benzoyl peroxide you eliminate the possibility of them coming into contact with each other, does that make sense? I think using the retinoid 3x a week is enough.

Using these two products has caused some dryness issues for me but I much prefer that to acne. I have a pretty intense moisturizing routine that I built thanks to r/asianbeauty but the two things that I absolutely can't do without are Benton Steam Cream and Aquaphor. I apply the Benton lotion morning and night and add the Aquaphor only at night.

ETA yes you can absolutely try this out for a month or two and then reassess your progress. Getting my acne under control has been about a two year process but it has been so worth it!
