Bean Essence
I have acne-prone skin and was cautious about introducing new products into my routine. However, Mixsoon Bean Essence has been a pleasant surprise. Its lightweight and slightly sticky texture absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling hydrated without any irritation or breakouts. Over time, I've noticed ...

Not for sensitive skin
I had high hopes for this one, everyone is raving about it that I didn't even test it first, I have used it for few days and my skin is having a very bad reaction that I couldn't wear makeup for the past few days, my bores gotten bigger with red blotches, I tried going back to old skin routine but my skin is not responding, my face feels very dry, tight and tender to touch, I can't even tolerate the touch if my pillow case on my face.
Won't buy again
I don't understand the hype over serums like this. It doesn't do anything it says it does such as improving skin texture. So far I haven't seen any benefits from this serum and feel like its a waste of money. My skin is soft but no different than using my usual lotion.
seems to do something
I kindof love the slimy texture.. It's fun. Not sure it's "clearing my pores" but it has been a solid skin softening layer to my glass skin routine where it feels moisturizing and absorbs into my skin along with other serums I layer on top of it (no pilling and doesn't sit on top)
Not for me
This product gave me tiny bumps on my face. Not acne but small milia type bumps
What kind of Slimy Magic is This?!
I bought this 2 weeks ago and it made my skin so soft and smooth! I dont think my skin has ever felt this good. It's definitely a strange watery slimy texture, but absorbs into the skin amazingly. I just ordered 2 more bottles. I would also like to note that I have sensitive skin and a sensitive sense of smell and this caused no irritation whatsoever and has no scent. Please never change the formula, Mixsoon!
