Mixsoon Bean Essence burst onto the scene last year with their viral serum that touted to hold the secret to achieving pore less, smooth skin. Hundreds of videos appeared showing people rubbing in the serum and dead skin cells carefully rolling off. Within 2 or 3 uses, people were experiencing visible results; glassy, hydrated skin. So, what makes their bean essence different? It starts with a simple step – fermentation. 

The core of Mixsoon’s glow bean products starts with simple soybeans that have been carefully fermented via yeast. This method produces a variety of active by-products that interact with the skin barrier. The resulting product will be rich in polyamines and isoflavones, which improves skin elasticity and promotes natural hyaluronic acid production (encouraging long-lasting skin hydration). Fermented soybeans are also rich in antioxidants and skin-whitening – which contributes to the serum’s ability to produce soft, smooth skin. Studies using fermented soybeans have noted within 4 weeks, an increase in hyaluronic acid, better skin barrier function and increase in cell number – essentially from this one simple product, the skin barrier was healthier than ever! 

These results have spanned a variety of Mixsoon Bean products – from their Soybean Milk Serum (which perfectly complements after the Bean serum to soothe and hydrate) to their Bean Cream (which creates a lightweight, deeply hydrating layer for dry skin) and even their Bean Toner Pad (which provides a deep cleanse to remove oils and impurities). 

What about exfoliation? How does this melt the dead skin cells away in one use? It also contains fermented pomegranate – which contains low levels of AHA, which gently exfoliates. Couple this exfoliation process with the soft massaging of serum into the skin and the dead skin cells literally roll off the body.  

This gives Mixsoon Bean Essence two potential uses in the day-to-day – either to be gently layered on skin as a hydration, glowy treatment or to be used at night as a non-irritating exfoliant.
