- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 3 hoursIt was supposed to be a hit, but it turned out to be a flop... 💔 My rating is a solid 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐ We're talking about Benton Vitamin C Serum, which was supposed to be a revolution in fighting pigmentation and dull skin tone. After a longer testing period, I have very mixed feelings about it. Although the product has its pluses in adding glow to the skin, it simply failed in the most important aspect. My skin is dry, mature, and I have slight pigmentation on my cheeks. For me, serum is the most important, most concentrated step in my entire skincare routine – it delivers active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the epidermis. Without it, the rest of the cosmetics, including regular cream, only work superficially. I reached for the vitamin C serum mainly to reduce my pigmentation. 🧴 Regarding the packaging, the product has a hygienic airless pump that protects the cosmetic from air exposure. This allows perfect dosing of the needed amount of product down to the last drop. Visually, the packaging looks very neat and aesthetic. The product itself has a thick, slightly milky emulsion consistency resembling a light cream. Under the influence of the warmth of hands and face, the serum becomes more fluid. However, it leaves a close, greasy film on the face and absorbs very slowly on me. 🔥 During application on the face, neck, and décolleté, a distinct, temporary warming sensation appears on the skin. This is a normal physical phenomenon because the serum has an anhydrous base and when it meets the natural moisture on the face, it releases heat. This effect disappears after a few seconds. At first, the scent of this serum is almost imperceptible, only after some time does it intensify. Minute by minute it becomes stronger and more characteristic, metallic. For me, it became so intense that I was forced to apply it only every third day, as only that frequency allowed me to use it. 🔬 According to the manufacturer's promises, this product is supposed to brighten pigmentation, even out skin tone, and stimulate collagen production. It contains: 20% pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – maximum concentration, which theoretically acts on pigment changes and can stimulate collagen production long-term. Ferulic Acid + Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – a dream duo that perfectly stabilizes vitamin C and enhances its protective effect against photoaging. Ectoin and Panthenol – ingredients that strongly strengthen the skin's protective barrier, deeply moisturize, and reduce the risk of irritation with such a strong acid. Glutathione and Adenosine – act strongly anti-wrinkle and reduce dull complexion. It's also worth checking the ingredients. In the INCI, you will find synthetic stabilizing polymers, which are commonly classified as liquid microplastics. They are safe in cosmetics and responsible for the creamy consistency, but if someone is looking for completely natural skincare, this is a big minus. The packaging states that the product should be used within 6 months of opening. Despite the passage of these 6 months, I was not able to use it up because it is incredibly efficient. Applying a small amount every third day, using up 30 ml is almost impossible for me. Using Benton vitamin C product, I did not notice spectacular effects. The skin was smoother to the touch, more radiant, maybe the serum stimulated collagen production, but I somehow did not notice it. Just as my pigmentation did not even slightly lighten. When we combine the lack of effect with the annoying metallic smell, greasy film, and presence of microplastics in the composition – the rating drops significantly, despite my fondness for this brand💔 🚨 When using vitamin C serum, always remember these rules: 1️⃣ Do not combine with retinol or AHA and BHA acids in one routine. 2️⃣ Keep a gap with niacinamide (at least 20 minutes) to avoid redness. 3️⃣ Always apply SPF 50 cream during the day, not only when using this serum. Did this serum also fail to deal with pigmentation for you?
