Bean Essence.

"You've got about eight ingredients in here. Most of them ferments and filtrates, which are great for hydration. So, it's a super simplistic product, but it just works. If you've got very sensitive skin, this could be a wonderful addition to your winter skincare routine just to get some plumping and some hydration. And as you can see, no tackiness, no stickiness, but it does just give that little glow, that little sort of glass skin vibe. I absolutely love it. I recommend it to everybody that doesn't want something with much mucin. They want something different."

"It's really good. If you want the outcomes that you get from snail mucin without snail mucin, you could opt for this. It's vegan as well. So if you're somebody that's vegan, living a plant-based lifestyle, this is a vegan alternative to snail mucin. It's very stringy, but it's not sticky or slimy on the skin. Doesn't have that snail mucin scent to it that I'm not a big fan of. And it gives you just that nicest plump hydration and a little bit of a boost to the skin. You've got very few ingredients in here. You've got your water, you've got some humectants, you've got the ferments. So you've got six different ferments in here, which are fantastic. Ferments really do boost the skin hydration levels, and some studies show they could be beneficial for fading hyperpigmentation, too."

"If you're a K beauty lover then there's one product I really like and it is nourishing to the skin and you get some brightening effect with it as well and this is the bean essence from Mixsoon."

"In here we've got first of all water, then propylene glycol which is a humectant. I love that combination. Then glycerin which is another humectant, and that's actually one of my favorites. Then they've got five different ferments in this product and I love ferments. They're conditioners for the skin. No big smell to this, I love it. I would use it, I would buy it. This product is Dr. V approved, and I would rather you purchase this than the snail mucin because of cruelty to snails."

"Mixsoon Bean Essence was a huge disappointment. Not the worst thing, but it definitely was not a good snail mucin alternative for me. That's for sure."

"It's not bad, but it's definitely not as good as the Cosrx Snail Mucin. I would not suggest this as an alternative. Objectively, I am not seeing the same level of results that I get with the Cosrx Snail Mucin. I find this to just kind of be like almost like a lightweight hyaluronic acid serum. I don't get the improved elasticity, the glass skin that everybody likes. I don't really appreciate that improved luminosity with this product. It's hydrating, a big player in this product I think is glycerin, which is very hydrating, so I think that's doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this product. Maybe there are anti-inflammatory compounds from all of the ferments and everything, but I'm not really seeing the results with this, if I'm being perfectly honest. And it's not cheap either. It's $35 for 1.69 oz, which is about 50 mls, whereas the Cosrx Snail Mucin is at the most $25 for 3.38 oz, and at the most because on Amazon they're constantly having sales. It's almost always easy to find it for less than $25. So for me it's like less expensive, better results with Cosrx."

"I was just about to give up on Mixsoon because this bean essence, this is a pass in my opinion. I mean, some people love it, but it's just not I was not impressed by it."

"Mixsoon Bean Essence, this is not my favorite. People claimed it was like an alternative to snail mucin, no not even close. Not bad but just sort of underwhelming. I don't know that I'll use this. It's not bad, it's actually a good product, but it's not like mindblowing or anything."

"When it comes to oil cleansers, the Mixsoon Bean Essence is really really nice. I have like bottles and bottles of that because that's always guaranteed to work."

"It's kind of like an oil pulling product mixed with an essence. So not only can this be used as a daily essence, but it could also be used as an exfoliator one to two times a week. As an essence, you just spread a very light layer on your skin. As an exfoliator you put a slightly thicker layer on, then exfoliate. It's one of those oil pulling things where you'll be massaging your nose and you'll see all those little gritty bits come out of your skin. It's super satisfying. MIXSOON is 100% cruelty free. We have Fermented Bean, Barley, Pomegranate, and Korean Pear. So we've got antioxidants, it's hydrating, it's nourishing. Fermented Bean has been linked to having anti-aging properties. This is really, really good."

"The Mixsoon Bean Essence has Fermented Soybean in here, which is great for leveling out that oil water balance in your skin, that moisture balance, whilst also helping to retain that hydration and moisture. There's also Pomegranate Extract, which is a great antioxidant, and Pear Juice, which is an amazing antioxidant. We have Saccharomyces Barley Seed Ferment Filtrate as well, which is one of those amazing, kind of brightening, skin barrier friendly, caring, nourishing ingredients that you typically see in a more liquidy essence. So, yes, a real one of its kind type of product."

"The unique thing about this product is it's a gentle kind of exfoliant they call it an Essence. I have been strictly using this as an Essence for about 3 months now and I love it. Oh my God, the glow that it leaves on your skin is incredible. If you need that extra kind of wrap of moisture and nourishment to your skin, this is incredible. It also really helps with the texture of your skin in general without using it as an exfoliant. We have soybean ferment extract which is supposedly very very good at balancing that oil moisture level and help strengthen the Skin Barrier. We have pear juice which is an antioxidant and pomegranate extract, which is an antioxidant. As is always with Mixsoon, it's a very minimal ingredient list. This is a product unique within itself."

"This is just one of those amazing two in one, super effective products. You can use this as almost like an exfoliating step, like oil pulling. You put this on your skin and then you gently rub and it basically brings out all these sebaceous filaments and blackheads. But as an essence, it has four fermented ingredients, including soybean, barley, pomegranate and Korean pear, which is going to help brighten your complexion and help with your natural oil moisture balance in the skin. It just feels so nourishing on the skin. It's got almost like an aloe vera type texture, a little bit like a very watery jelly. You have this really nice, non-suffocating, lightweight, breathable film on your skin that just feels so nourishing, especially on those dry areas. It just kind of feels like it absorbs it all, whilst also keeping everything locked in."

"I genuinely love this product. I do think it's really, really nice. I love this product as a hydrating product. I love the fermented ingredients in here for my skin personally, when I have very, very dry skin, I'm going to use this. Especially if I know I'm wearing makeup during the day for whatever reason. I get a lot of texture on the top of my nose here, bit of bean essence over the top there, covers right over it. No texture whatsoever."
