ProsIt fades naturally to a nice white color. The ingredients also seem good. Nothing broke out.
ConsIt's too runny, making it difficult to control the amount. When I squeeze it out and apply it, it drips, which is troublesome.
TipDon't apply too much, adjust the amount and apply it little by little.

ProsUnlike other sunscreens, this one does not cause acne on my face, which is why I repurchased it.
ConsThere is some white cast, and over time, my face feels a bit dirty. But it's still okay.

ProsIt absorbs well. It's difficult to find good ones, so I use other information. The formulation is very thin.
ConsFirst, there is whitening. After about two hours, the face becomes shiny. And the area around the mouth itched a little.

ProsIt serves the function of sunscreen, haha
ConsSo annoying, the white cast is really bad and it just wipes off when you rub it with your hands, lol. It takes forever to absorb, so frustrating.

ProsI'm not sure what the good points were.
It seems to be greasy, so the UV protection should be good.
ConsAfter using it, I had a huge breakout of acne on my chin, and I'm going crazy. I need to go to a dermatologist.

ProsThis is a review after using the product for about half a year.
I originally liked the Benton brand, so I bought it right away without even checking the reviews, but overall it's not 'perfect!' but based on my limited experience, it's the best suncare product I've used so far.
1. Good ingredients and sufficient UV protection
No need to say more haha Even the ambiguous fragrance that I really dislike is fresh without any particular smell.
2. Texture and spreadability
I think this is the most important aspect of sunscreen for me. There are so many sunscreens I've used and then discarded because I didn't like the texture.
This product's texture is not thick. It has a slightly watery feel, so if you scoop out the right amount and gently pat it on, it spreads well and the white cast is somewhat controllable. Personally, I really dislike thick textures that require a lot of effort to spread, and ones that are too runny are also annoying to apply, but this one is just right.
After application, it's not completely matte, but it's slightly tacky and will stick to your hair if blown by the wind. But since I use a mattifying base makeup product on top, it's not a problem for me.
3. Price
I'm satisfied.
ConsThere are some minor issues like a bit of tackiness or slight white cast, but I think those are just the natural inconveniences of using mineral or hybrid sunscreens.
The tackiness or white cast is not severe enough to interfere with my makeup application after applying the sunscreen, so I'm using it without major complaints.
TipPersonally, I really dislike anything that makes my face look toned up. The slight white cast can be adjusted with the foundation I apply on top. It's like creating a neutral effect. And if I use a mattifying setting spray on top, I can enjoy the sun protection without any other inconveniences.

ProsThere's nothing on my face
By the way, I used to be very sensitive and would get something on my face just by using regular sunscreen. Even when I used Shiseido's blue bottle, I would get pimples, but when I switched to Benton, nothing came up on my face.
ConsThere's a little bit of white cast, you say? It'll absorb quickly if you pat it in? Absolutely not
Did you spread it on the back of your hand or apply it very thinly?
Even though I don't apply a lot, my face becomes incredibly white. Of all the sunscreens I've seen, this one has the worst white cast, and it never goes away no matter how long it's been.
TipThere are no good tips for the severe white cast
But even though I'm very sensitive, nothing comes up on my face..

Pros I used to only apply sunscreen before putting on makeup on my face, and didn't really apply it much on my arms, legs, or neck. But these days, there seems to be a lot of promotion about proper sunscreen usage and the risks of UV exposure.
So I decided to try managing it more consistently. I looked for some high SPF sun cushions and sun sticks, but felt they were a bit too expensive for the amount you get, so I was hesitant to purchase them.
Then I came across the sunscreen from Benton, and as soon as I applied it, I noticed it was really runny.
The runny texture made it easy to apply on my arms, legs, and back of my neck. It does have a slight white cast, but as someone with a lighter skin tone, it doesn't make me look too pale. For those with darker skin tones, it might actually help brighten the complexion.
Generally, mineral sunscreens with high SPF tend to have a white cast, but this one from Benton, being a hybrid, isn't too severe. Just patting it in makes it look natural.
(I've tried to attach a photo, but I'm not sure if it went through.)
The scent is described as geranium oil, which I quite like, though fragrance preferences can be subjective. Sunscreens are supposed to be used up quickly after opening, but I've never finished a bottle within a month, since I apply it all over my face and body. It feels satisfying to have gone through a whole bottle already. I'm planning to repurchase it since Benton has it on sale on their website.
Cons It's a bit disappointing that the Benton sunscreen contains dimethicone and PEG compounds, as I was hoping for a more clean ingredient list from the generally skin-friendly Benton brand. I inquired about it and they explained that the physical UV filters are heavy ingredients, so they tried to minimize them as much as possible to maintain the formula stability.
While I understand their reasoning, it's still a bit of a letdown to see those silicone-based components in the formula. I was hoping for a truly clean, natural sunscreen from Benton. But I suppose they had to balance efficacy and cosmetic elegance. It's a shame they couldn't formulate it without those potentially concerning ingredients, but I appreciate their transparency in explaining the rationale.
Tip That's a great tip! After trying the Benton sunscreen and finding it to be quite runny, I've been using it as a primer under my DIY cushion foundation.
Honestly, when you look at the cost of a standalone sun cushion, the price is often on par with a good quality standalone sunscreen, but the volume you get is much less. Using the Benton sunscreen this way is a much more cost-effective and versatile approach.
For my arms, legs, and neck, I can just squeeze the sunscreen directly from the tube and rub it in. But for the face, as women, we often don't want to keep layering on sunscreen after makeup, as it can make the makeup look greasy and cause it to break down.
However, I've found that using the Benton sunscreen this way under my cushion foundation works really well. The runny texture and moisturizing ingredients make it apply nicely with the cushion puff, leaving a dewy, hydrated finish without compromising the makeup. And the pleasant fragrance is an added bonus.
It's been a great way for me to get the sun protection I need while still maintaining a smooth, flawless makeup look. The versatility of this sunscreen has really impressed me.
