BENTON Cosmetic Papaya-S Suncream | 5 Point Review
Hello there gorgeous!
I'm back to my daily grind and now providing you a skincare review. Today I am
sharing with you a sun cream/ sunscreen. This is the PAPAYA-S sun Cream
by Benton Cosmetic. I actually won this from their giveaway! Now, let's
talk about the brand "Benton Cosmetic" itself.
Benton Cosmetic is a cruelty-free brand
from Korea which produces skin care products that cater all women/men
of all ages. While they cater all people of all ages, their products focus more
on skin replenishment and anti-aging effect to make the skin young looking.
Benton Cosmetic is a Korea made product which provides best skin care products
that will "Turn back the time of your skin". Their
products are claimed to be "Freshly-made" products
and has healthy ingredients. Based on products showed on their website, what they have are
toners, moisturizers, masks, ampoule, cleansing foams, sun-cream, and essences.
I already have tried their Aloe BHA Skin toner (Review here) and been loving it since then. Now let's begin to see the wonders
this Papaya-S sun Cream will bring us.
Point 1: PRODUCT/CLAIMS
The Papaya-S Sun
Cream is a sunscreen that is SPF50+ with PA++++ which is
directed as a product "For Sport". The product is a white
colored lotion that has a slight shiny reflex to it. It is said
that its u a 43% of Papaya fruit water in which as we all know,
papaya is always used as whitening in which maybe this cream can also whiten
the skin while also protecting it from the sun UV rays.

o This is basically a
papaya fruit extract.

Papaya Seed Oil
o This oil is extracted
from the seeds of the papaya (lol, you don't say?). Now, papaya seed oil
usually has light yellow color to it. Based my research from our best friend
Google, I saw an article from BeautyMunsta.com (Visit her website!), that
papaya seeds has high levels of vitamins including Vitamins A, B and C!

ingredient for the skin to keep moisturization sealed to the skin.

used for healing the skin for skin problems and also moisturizes the skin. This
helps the skin minimize the blemishes caused but acne scarring, wrinkles or
even other skin care problems.
·
Cathamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Bud Extract
o Safflower is said to
give the skin glow, and also fights acne.
Point 3: BENEFITS
"Papaya-S Sun
Cream is a physical & chemical sunscreen for effective sun protection.
Physical sunscreen typically leaves a white cast and provides relatively less
UVA protection than chemical one. Mixed with chemical sunscreen, Papaya-S Sun
Cream effectively protects skin from both UVA and UVB. SPF 50+ / PA++++ is the
highest factor available in South Korean and suitable for outdoor
activities." Benton Cosmetic on
Papaya-S Sun Cream.
As we all know sun
cream usually leaves a white cast to the skin when used under makeup, but for
this one it doesn't. The cream has a super creamy texture to it but
when applied to the face, it is easily absorbed and feels lightweight.
Point 4: TEXTURE/ APPLICATION
This Sun Cream is a milky white cream that is very moist in application yet
lightweight feel to the skin. You just need a pea size of this cream to cover
the whole face. This specific cream really does what it is made for but the
only downside I can say about this product is I did not like the scent of it.
It has a strong scent to it which
almost smells like aspirins and flowers (strong smelling flowers!). It is
supposed to smell like flower, but this has a pretty too strong smell for my
liking.
Point 5: EFFECTS
1. On the first
application of this product, I was a bit shocked while spreading it to the face
because it made my face somewhat bluish-white in color. But the more you spread
it on the face, the skin absorbs the products and results to a skin like color
finish.
2. The SPF provided in
this cream will really help a lot during summer time and also can be used every
day. Even though it is SPF50+, it has a lightweight feel to it that you won't
even feel like you are wearing a sunscreen on your face.
3. The product is a
milky white product; it has Papaya extract to it which may help you whiten your
complexion. It is good to hear that this product protects you from the sun and
ALSO helping you whiten your skin under the heat of the sun.
4. This provides a
moisturizing effect to the face and gives a smooth and plump finish. Some of
the sunscreen that I have tried has also provided a moisturizing effect to the
skin but leaves more of an oily feel, but this specific product does NOT have
an oily feeling to the touch.
5. Since it is Papaya
based it may also help the skin as an anti-oxidant. It helps the skin to be
protected and helps the skin regain its youth and helps prevent wrinkles and
other blemishes.
I don't usually
review the packaging for products because what I focus more is the
product/formula itself, and also you could already see what it looks like in
the photos right? Maybe I will add reviews for packaging wise if the products
are totally expensive, like maybe your paying for the packaging not the product
itself. What do you think? Are packaging reviews important to you? Please
comment below what you think!
Hey have you tried
this sun screen yet? If not, comment below your favorite SPF sunscreen, would love to know which ones you love.
I don't normally wear sunscreen, but as I get older I think I should probably start. I would like to try out this creme!
ReplyDeleteI think you do need to start wearing sunscreen, it also helps the skin from getting dark spots due to sun rays and also due to ageing. This one is actually a great one because of the benefits from its ingredients!

I like that it goes on like a cream, I hate thick sunscreens. I'm going to look into this brand.
ReplyDeleteIt actually has thick formula to it but not like other sunscreens wherein it so thick and oily. The thickness of this cream is fast absorbing to the skin and dries skin-like. The brand has promising products, you should check them out!

Good sunscreen is so important, but also hard to find. I think my skincare brand has discontinued their sunscreen, so I may be in the market soon.
ReplyDeleteOh too bad! Which one is it? You should check out this brand, they have promising products and I think you'll love it!
Deletexo, KatrissaTalks
I would love to try PAPAYA-S sun Cream by Benton Cosmetic. I am always looking for new products to try. Cruelty free is important to me.
ReplyDeleteYou need to try this one, it won't fail you! Good to hear that you are into cruelty-free as I am.
Deletexo, KatrissaTalks
Papaya is such a nourishing ingredient! Sunblock is so important to have on daily so it’s imperative that we choose the best :)
ReplyDeleteI am so so so bad about putting on sun screen. Ugh. THANKFULLY I am not typically out in the scorching sun!
ReplyDeleteI love Korea beauty products but this is not one that I have tried before, seems like a really lovely product
ReplyDeleteThese sound like great products. I've never heard of them before but I'd be willing to try them out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE papaya in skin care!!!! I have never heard or tried this yet ty for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKoren beauty always really interests me and I love that this is a cruelty free brand, it is definitely something I would be tempted in trying myself.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand before and I am really curious, I love that it has papaya in it as it is so good for the skin. Gonna have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this product. Papaya is really good for your skin. I need a good product for my skin.
ReplyDeleteWe wear sunscreen here even during winter since the sun is super hot. This is a very detailed review. BTW I hope you meant to write cruelty-free brand at the start right?
ReplyDeleteOMG! Thank you so much for pointing that out! It Is A CRUELTY-FREE BRAND! Updated it already. I'm very shocked that I missed that but thank you so much for this!

I doubt if I'll like it if it changes my complexion.. The photos look really different than the usual sunscreen ones.. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeletethis is a good reminder to always wear sun protection -- i used to wear sunscreen every day and then i stopped when i felt like it was breaking me out. but i need to get back to it!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to try this. I have been looking for the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteI like that the cream is fast absorbing. Plus I love that the brand is cruelty free as well !
ReplyDeleteI can certainly get behind this cruelty-free brand from Korea, Benton Cosmetic sound like a product for the entire family.
ReplyDeleteBenton Cosmetics seems like a good brand! I hope to try this soon. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI love papaya! I really like looking for natural products. This maybe a great product for me to try out.
