Editorial Text:
This product by Benton, which is a hydrosol and toner intended for face care, has a formula based to a large extent on aloe vera extracts: extract, juice and water from the leaves of this plant create a composition dedicated especially to problematic skin prone to oiliness. Aloe vera pleasantly refreshes and cools the skin, unfortunately the hydrosol did not work well for dry, mature and couperose skin. The moisturising effect was also not rated very highly, despite the composition enriched by snail mucus. The toner is not suitable for use as a hair care product. Compared to other hydrosols in the ranking, it receives the lowest score for the poor moisturising effect on the hair.
Benefits
BENTON, Aloe BHA Skin Toner, Face hydrosol
- composition enriched by snail mucus
- quite affordable price
Disadvantages
BENTON, Aloe BHA Skin Toner, Face hydrosol
- poor moisturizing effect
- not suitable for demanding complexions
- poorly suited for hair care

The Polish brand Oleiq creates one-ingredient organic cosmetics – primarily hydrosols and vegetable oils, which can be used to create your own blends. We took a closer look at a hydrosol from cucumber, a plant with high nutritional and anti-inflammatory value. The product also contains aloe vera water. Opinions among the reviewers were divided. A plus for gentle lightening of discolourations and a nice moisturising effect on the skin 🤗 Unfortunately, the cosmetic did not get good marks for its fragrance.

- can be a base for DIY cosmetics
- gently moisturises
Disadvantages
Oleiq, cucumber hydrosol for face, body and hair
