Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Benton Honest Eyelash Serum is an eyelash serum nourishes and helps strengthen and enhance the eyelashes. Formulated with various nourishing ingredients such as 2 types of Peptides, 17 types of Amino Acids and Sodium Hyaluronate that help enhance the elasticity of the eyelashes. The ball-tip brush and the screw brush help the serum to spread evenly on the eyelashes from the hair root.
Honest Eyelash Serum is a lightweight lash and brow serum from Benton. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 37 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, Betaine and Sodium Hyaluronate, 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, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate and Panthenol.
Firmness signalling: Moderate. Peptides and growth factors that signal for collagen support, and here that comes from Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Beta-glucan, Allantoin and Aspartic Acid.
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 barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. 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.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.
