Collection: Benton

Benton is one of Korea's earliest clean-beauty brands — built around EWG-conscious formulation (avoiding ingredients flagged by the Environmental Working Group), pH-balanced products, fragrance-free or natural-fragrance only, and transparent ingredient lists. The brand markets itself to ingredient-conscious users and rejects common irritants like artificial fragrance, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil and synthetic colourants. Each product is dermatologically tested on sensitive skin before release.

Guava (Psidium guajava) is naturally rich in vitamin C (4–10x more than oranges by weight), polyphenols, lycopene and antioxidants — a powerful botanical for brightening, anti-aging and protecting skin from environmental stress. Benton's Guava line uses guava water at high concentrations (70% in the toner pads) and pairs it with hyaluronic acid for hydration and centella for calming. The result is a gentle but effective brightening and soothing routine suitable for sensitive skin.

The Guava 70 Pads are dual-textured: one side embossed for gentle physical exfoliation, the other smooth for soothing application. After cleansing, use the embossed side first to lightly sweep across the face and remove dead cells, then flip the pad and press the smooth side over the skin for 1–2 minutes like a mini sheet mask, focusing on dry or dull areas. Use morning or evening; pair with the Guava Soothing Cream for a complete brightening-and-hydrating routine.

Yes — Benton is specifically positioned for sensitive, reactive and ingredient-conscious skin. The formulas are fragrance-light, alcohol-light, and built around calming botanicals like centella, snail mucin, aloe and guava. The brand is particularly popular among users transitioning away from drugstore products that contained irritants, those dealing with rosacea-like redness, and people with reactive skin under K-beauty routines. Always patch-test a new product before adding to your routine.

Yes — Benton's pH-balanced, fragrance-light formulas layer well with other K-beauty brands and clinical actives. A typical layering routine: cleanse → Benton toner pad → active serum (vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide) → Benton Guava Soothing Cream → SPF. The brand is often used as the 'calming backbone' of a routine that includes more potent products from other brands like AXIS-Y, COSRX or Anua.
