Lighter and cheaper than COSRX equivalent
“shipping didn't update for a long time, which is not the sellers fault but still annoying. i think it was just held up at customs. **list of products:** - **2x benton snail bee high content essence:** this one is a repurchase, i think my 3rd and 4th bottle. this was on sale for cheap, they regularly”
