Take the skin testThe Benton Guava Moisture Soothing Cream is a rich, gel-cream formula that offers intense hydration and soothing relief, perfect for tired or stressed skin. Infused with Guava Extract and Azulene, this cream helps to calm redness and inflammation while improving skin tone and texture. Ceramide NP and Collagen work together to strengthen the skin's barrier, boost elasticity, and lock in moisture, leaving skin plump and revitalized. With the added benefits of Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid, this pH-balanced, vegan cream provides long-lasting hydration, ideal for sensitive skin. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, ensuring smooth, hydrated skin throughout the day.
Guava Moisture Soothing Cream is a lightweight cream from Benton. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 50 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. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Betaine, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betaine and Panthenol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Allantoin, Panthenol, Ectoin and Beta-glucan.
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 oil control, cell renewal and firmness signalling. 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 after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
