I have sensitive skin that can’t really tolerate regular acids. Benton acid exfoliator is 3% PHA, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin types as the molecular size is larger & takes longer to penetrate the skin.

💦It claims to help smooth & hydrate the skin while promoting gentle exfoliation. “PHA is safe from photosensitivity compared to
AHA. It’s also an humectant, forming a moisturise barrier, making it a good option for dry skin types.

💦Ingredients include Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water, Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract & Ceramide NP to soothe & hydrate exfoliated skin.

.
💦Packaging: it comes in a convenient pump to control the amount of product to dispense.
.
.
💦The texture is watery & feels light on the skin.
.

💦Usage: 2x a week. Recommended usage is 2-3x a week. I’m still careful to not over exfoliate as I like to incorporate other exfoliators into my routine. I’ve not had any reactions unlike previous chemical toners I’ve tried such as COSRX/ Some By Mi.

💦Results: this exfoliating toner is very gentle. It gives a smooth canvas. My skin did feel smoother & texture more refined. It wasn’t strong enough to tackle blackheads. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed using this range. Overall my skin looked healthy.

💦Overall rating 4/5.
