Review

Results you may expect from using Benton Deep Green Tea Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Benton Deep Green Tea Serum:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Benton Deep Green Tea Serum contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Benton Deep Green Tea Serum has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈50.0%) and Butylene Glycol (est. ≈50.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (est. ≈50.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈50.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Benton Deep Green Tea Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Benton Deep Green Tea Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈50.0%), Houttuynia Cordata Extract (est. ≈50.0%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈50.0%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Benton Deep Green Tea Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈50.0%), Panthenol (est. ≈50.0%), Houttuynia Cordata Extract (est. ≈50.0%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Est. %50
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.

Function
Origin

A naturally or synthetically derived preservative that exhibits effective antifungal and antibacterial traits. It also acts as a booster for more traditional preservatives. Pentylene glycol can also serve as a moisturizing humectant and solvent.
