Bean Essence

Doesn't sting their eczema- and rosacea-prone dry skin even with a weak barrier.

“Mixsoon bean essence and bean cream. I have eczema and rosacea and dry sensitive skin…and these products don’t sting me when my barrier is lacking.”

With mild rosacea, they had a great initial response to the mixsoon Bean Essence but now get tiny bumps all over their face.

“Initially I had a great response. Now I get tiny bumps all over the face.”

Loves the mixsoon Bean Essence along with the bean cream and eye cream: their skin tingles and reddens briefly after applying, but after 20 minutes it looks plumper and more hydrated.

“I got the bean essence, bean eye cream, and bean cream and love them!”

Overpriced, but the mixsoon Bean Essence made a huge difference on their combination, sensitive skin: it healed dry patches and improved tone and texture gently. The physical-exfoliation claim is a gimmick.

“Mixsoon is overpriced but it made a huge difference in my skin!”

The mixsoon Bean Essence felt weird on their face, with a texture that sat on the skin; they washed it off and weren't a fan.

“I tried the bean essence and it felt weird on my face.”

Uses the mixsoon Bean Essence carefully because its ferment acts as a mild exfoliant they can feel alongside their actives; it isn't as hydrating for them as snail mucin.

“It’s not hydrating to me like snail mucin.”

Since starting the mixsoon Bean Essence they've had small pimples across their face, though they aren't sure it's the cause.

“I also recently purchased the Mixsoon Bean Essence and I am also experiencing small pimples across my face”

On oily skin the mixsoon Bean Essence was notably heavy and sticky, with a slippery, oily finish that never fully absorbed.

“The Bean Essence was notably heavier and stickier”

Long-lasting hydration, similar feel to snail essence.

“mixsoon bean essence: extremely similar feel as the snail essence, very nice long lasting hydration. Still waiting on results.”

A week of the mixsoon Bean Essence on combination skin with mild rosacea improved their texture and gave a glowy tone, but they're getting whiteheads.

“while using my overall texture got better and it’s giving me a glowy tone”

Used the mixsoon Bean Essence as an exfoliant as instructed: no benefit, and it sensitized their skin, leaving their nose, forehead and cheeks burning. One use was enough.

“I used it as instructed but nothing happened and it really sensitized my skin.”

Loves the mixsoon Bean Essence for its consistency and hydration, but can't justify the full price for such a small bottle and wants cheaper alternatives.

“I love my bottle and it’s just about to finish”

After about a year and a half with the mixsoon Bean Essence, they describe it as a unique product that mildly exfoliates with ferments and hydrates. A long-term holy grail, though not their first pick for redness.

“I know I’ve had mine for about a year and a half.”
