Mixsoon – Bean Essence Review: 4 Pros and 3 Cons Revealed

Table of Contents
Intro
If you’re plugged into the skincare community, you’ve likely heard the buzz around Mixsoon Bean Essence. This fermented soybean essence has gone viral for its glass skin results. But does it really live up to the hype? I put it to the test for 4 weeks – here’s my unfiltered opinion.
What is Mixsoon Bean Essence?
Mixsoon Bean Essence is a multi-use essence made with 100% fermented soybean extract. It can be used 2-3 times per week as a gentle exfoliant or applied daily as a hydrating essence. The fermentation process breaks down the ingredients to enhance absorption.
Other key players are fermented barley, pomegranate, and Korean pear extracts. Barley seed provides moisture and soothes skin. Pomegranate packs an antioxidant punch. Pear juice delivers vitamins and minerals while boosting hydration.

How I Used Mixsoon Bean Essence
For reference, I have dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin. I used Mixsoon Bean Essence in two ways:
Exfoliant (2x per week): I massaged a nickel-sized amount into damp skin using circular motions for 1-2 minutes until little balls formed, then rinsed off.
Essence (2x per day): After cleansing and toning, I patted 2-3 drops into skin and let absorb before applying my serum.
Mixsoon Bean Essence Results
After about 2 weeks, I started noticing my skin looked smoother and felt more supple to the touch. By the 4 week mark, my complexion had a healthy glow and my makeup was applying more evenly. Dry flakes were minimized.
While no single product is a miracle worker, I was impressed with how much Mixsoon Bean Essence improved my skin’s texture and hydration levels. It plumped things up without causing irritation or breakouts.
Pros
- Effective dual-use product (exfoliant + essence)
- Deeply hydrating formula great for dry skin
- Fungal acne safe and gentle on sensitive skin
- Simple, fermented ingredients
Pros
- Thick, somewhat sticky texture isn't for everyone
- Pricier than some other essences ($25-30 for 5 oz)
- May pill if layered under the wrong products
2-3x per week as an exfoliant, 1-2x per day as an essence. Daily use is fine for most but scale back if you experience any irritation.
Yes, this essence is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin thanks to its simple ingredient list and lack of fragrance. However, always patch test first to be safe.
A little goes a long way. For exfoliating, aim for a nickel-sized amount. As an essence, 1 pump is plenty. Using too much can lead to stickiness or pilling.
The Verdict
verall, Mixsoon Bean Essence has earned its place as a staple in my routine. It’s an excellent essence for smoothing texture and delivering deep hydration. While the goopy texture isn’t my favorite, the glow it gives is worth it. I recommend it for my dry and/or textured skin folks who want their complexion to look as healthy on the outside as it feels on the inside.
I’m rating it 4/5 stars – it’s a real gem and “holy grail” for me personally, but I recognize the consistency is polarizing. Some will love it, others not so much.
