Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream - Review

Back to my favorite thing which is skincare!! Once again with Korean skincare (don't get bored with me because of this). I've tried Benton products before and I like them but since it's a bit hard to find here so I don't really try many things, luckily Elsyoung sell many Benton products. So no more worries that you can't buy Benton products in Indonesia.

Elsyoung sent me Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream. I'm really curious to try this since it has cacao in it (No, it's not chocolate and it's not sweet). Seeing the description, I know that I will like this cream and yup, it's true!

Description
1. Benton's Cacao Moist And Mild Cream is a light weight cream with a velvety smooth texture.
2. Contains Cacao extracts and Hyaluronic Acid to infuse a wealth of hydration to your skin.
3. Various botanical extracts further provide your skin with nutrients to leave it smooth and supple.

Recommended for the following:
- Those with dry and tight skin
- Those who want to balance their skin's oil-moisture levels
- Those who want a non-aggravating means of supplying their skin with moisture
- Those whose skin has become sensitive to harmful external stimuli
- Those who want a light weight, non-sticky cream

Packaging is simple and easy to carry as it comes in tube. I love how practical and travel friendly it is. It has box with more complete information than the tube. I love the color, even though the name is cacao but the color is somehow pink (not really important). 

Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream is a light textured cream. It's white and a bit like gel type texture. Just like the name 'moist and mild cream', it is true, even though it's kinda light and easy to spread but it's very moisturizing. Even only a slight amount is enough for the whole face. However, this leave a bit sticky residue after getting absorbed (I tested it on room temperature in mid day around 28C - a bit hot day).

If you imagine chocolate scent when you read cacao, sorry, it's not. The scent is very subtle and almost has no scent (according to my nose). It only has a slight cacao scent but not really noticeable. Cacao scent here is like the real raw cacao (not a sweet chocolaty scent). I prefer something subtle like that, I don't really want something with sweet scent on face, don't you think.

I thought this will be a light cream that can be used a lot even for summer, but this will be too much for a hot and humid days. My skin is normal dry, but now it's more into normal combination. A bit oily after waking up in the morning and after a hot day.  I only use a very small amount if I want to use it as day cream and top it off with powder. For night, this will be a good moisturizer because it's moisturizing enough for my skin as I use aircon at night and not sticky.

PROS:

+ Lightweight but Moisturizing
+ Easy to carry
+ A little goes a long way
+ Safe ingredients
+ Subtle scent

CONS:

- A bit sticky for hot weather

OVERALL:

Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream is perfect as night moisturizer for me or if I go somewhere with colder weather. But for dry and very dry skin, I really recommend this cream as day cream. I love the scent and the texture, it's light and very moisturizing at the same time. Especially for the packaging, it's very convenient to bring for traveling.
