Take the skin testThe BENTON Fermentation Eye Cream is an anti-wrinkle cream to keep the eye area hydrated, smooth, and youthful. Formulated with fermented ingredients including the bifida ferment lysate and galactomyces ferment filtrate to help brighten, firm, and repair damage. Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and aloe also help to hydrate, while betaglucans and adenosine plump and smooth the eye area.
Fermentation Eye Cream is a lightweight cream from Benton. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 32 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate and Betaine.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Allantoin, Beta-glucan and Panthenol.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes before moisturiser. Tap along the orbital bone with your ring finger; product migrates upward on its own.

Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
