MIXSOON BEAN ESSENCE 30ML

A multi-tasking essence that hydrates, gently exfoliates, and helps control excess oil, making it an ideal choice for Mauritius's humid climate. Its unique, minimalist formula strengthens the skin barrier while improving texture for a smoother, more balanced complexion.

Values You Can Trust: Vegan (Korea Vegan Association Certified) / Cruelty-Free (PETA Certified) / Fragrance & Alcohol-Free / 100% Authentic Guarantee

Struggling with rough texture, clogged pores, or that midday shine that humidity makes worse? This essence is your solution. It works in two ways: as a daily hydrating serum to strengthen and moisturise, and as a weekly gentle exfoliating treatment to physically lift away dead skin cells and control sebum without harshness.

• Texture: Viscous, smooth, similar to snail mucin but 100% vegan.
• Key Function: Hydrates, nourishes, controls sebum, and gently exfoliates.
• Best For: Oily, combination, dehydrated, and rough-textured skin.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (as an essence): Apply 2-3 drops to your palms and pat gently into the skin.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your final step to seal in hydration and protect.

Note: Already own a similar hydrating serum? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption.

Use this as your daily hydrating essence in the morning.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) MIXSOON Bean Essence → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+).
• Optional: In Mauritius's humidity, a hydrating sunscreen might be enough. Add a separate lightweight, gel-based moisturiser only if your skin feels tight.
• Wait time: Allow the essence to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Use as a hydrating essence nightly, or as an exfoliating treatment 1-2 times per week.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (to remove sunscreen/makeup) → 2) MIXSOON Bean Essence → 3) Moisturiser.
• Texture Rule: Always apply from thinnest to thickest. This essence comes after any watery toners but before thicker creams.
• Exfoliating Night: On nights you use the massage method (see How to Use), you can skip other exfoliants like AHA/BHA.

This essence has two distinct methods. Choose based on your skin's needs.

Method 1: As a Daily Hydrating Essence (AM/PM)

• Amount: 2-3 drops.
• Apply to: Face and neck.
• Method: After cleansing and toning, dispense into palms and gently pat onto the skin until absorbed.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and evening.

Method 2: As a Weekly Exfoliating Massage Gel (PM Recommended)

• Amount: 2-3 pumps (a generous amount).
• Apply to: Clean, dry skin.
• Method: Massage your face in circular motions for 2-5 minutes. As you massage, you will feel small particles of dead skin and impurities begin to pill up.
• Finish: Once the pilling stops, wipe the residue away with a damp cloth or a toner-soaked cotton pad. Follow with a moisturiser.
• Frequency: Recommended 1-2 times per week. Do not use other strong exfoliants on the same night.

This planner shows how to incorporate both functions of the Bean Essence.

• Daily Use (as Essence): Apply AM and PM on all days except for nights you use strong conflicting actives (like high-strength retinoids).
• Weekly Use (as Exfoliant): Choose 1-2 evenings per week for the massage method.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: Exfoliating Massage with Bean Essence → Moisturiser
• Tue: Bean Essence (as essence) → Retinoid (if using) → Moisturiser
• Wed: Bean Essence (as essence) → Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Thu: Bean Essence (as essence) → AHA/BHA (if using) → Moisturiser
• Fri: Exfoliating Massage with Bean Essence → Moisturiser
• Sat/Sun: Bean Essence (as essence) → Soothing/Hydrating Routine

Rule: Do not use the exfoliating massage method on the same night as other strong chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or high-strength retinoids to avoid over-exfoliation.

• Immediate: Skin feels hydrated, plump, and smooth after application. After the massage method, skin appears instantly brighter and feels softer.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in excess sebum and the appearance of blackheads. Skin texture feels more refined.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Overall skin tone and texture continue to improve. The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient, with a healthy, balanced glow.

Why use this gentle exfoliating massage, not a harsh facial scrub?

Harsh scrubs with large, jagged particles (like sugar, salt, or crushed pits) can create micro-tears in the skin. This damages the skin barrier, leading to irritation, redness, and can even worsen dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), especially in our sunny climate. The Mixsoon Bean Essence uses fermented extracts and a unique pilling action to lift dead skin cells without abrasive scratching, making it a much safer way to achieve smooth skin.

• Works well with: Hydrating ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol), soothing ingredients (Centella Asiatica, Mugwort), Niacinamide, and Sunscreen.
• Use with care: When used as an exfoliant, avoid layering with other strong exfoliants (AHA, BHA, Retinoids) in the same routine to prevent irritation. You can use them on alternate nights.
• Avoid on: Broken or irritated skin.

• Oily/Combination: Excellent. Helps manage sebum production and clear clogged pores without stripping the skin.
• Dry/Dehydrated: Very good. Provides deep, lasting hydration and helps remove flaky patches. Always follow with a good moisturiser.
• Sensitive: Generally suitable due to its minimal, fragrance-free formula. However, a patch test is always recommended.
• Acne-Prone: Beneficial for managing clogged pores and sebum. The gentle exfoliation can help prevent breakouts.

• Excess Sebum & Oiliness
• Rough, uneven skin texture
• Clogged Pores & Blackheads
• Dehydration & Dullness
• Flaky skin

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. Contains no artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Intensity: 0/5. The product is virtually odorless.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

• Who should use with caution: While suitable for most, those with a known sensitivity to fermented ingredients or who are prone to Malassezia Folliculitis ('fungal acne') should patch test carefully, as ferments can sometimes be a trigger.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
• Teens: This product is generally gentle enough for teens struggling with oily skin and clogged pores. It's a safer alternative to harsh scrubs.

• Texture & Finish: A viscous, slightly slimy gel-like essence that absorbs well, leaving a hydrated, dewy finish without feeling sticky or greasy.
• Scent: Odorless.
• pH: Approximately 5.5 (mildly acidic and aligned with the skin's natural pH).
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Use with caution. Fermented ingredients can be a trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is strongly advised.

• Issue: The product isn't "pilling" when I massage it.
  Fix: Ensure your skin is completely clean and dry before starting the massage. Use a generous amount of product. The pilling effect is caused by the product lifting dead skin cells; if your skin has been recently exfoliated, there may be less to remove.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit tight after the massage.
  Fix: This is normal as you've just exfoliated. Follow up immediately with a hydrating toner and a good moisturiser to replenish your skin's barrier.
• Issue: I'm getting small breakouts after starting.
  Fix: This could be "purging" as the essence clears out clogged pores. It should subside within 2-3 weeks. However, if the breakouts are red, itchy, or persist, you may be sensitive to fermented ingredients. Stop use and focus on a soothing routine.

This essence is exceptionally well-suited for our tropical climate.

• Humid Summer: Use a thin layer as a standalone hydrating step before sunscreen in the morning. Its sebum-controlling properties are perfect for preventing midday shine.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: It provides excellent hydration without heaviness. You can easily layer it under a slightly richer cream at night or when indoors with air conditioning to prevent dehydration.
• Exfoliation: The gentle massage method is ideal for year-round use, as it clears sweat and grime without the risk of sun sensitivity associated with stronger acids.

Aggregated sentiment from platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. This is anecdotal and not a guarantee of results.

• "I was skeptical about the exfoliating part, but it actually works! I massaged it on my dry face and little balls of dead skin started forming. My skin felt so smooth and bright afterwards, but not stripped at all." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2024-05)
• "This is my vegan alternative to snail mucin. It has that same viscous texture and is super hydrating. I use it daily as an essence and my combination skin loves it. It keeps me hydrated without making my T-zone greasy." - YesStyle review (2024-03)
• "It's a really nice hydrating essence, but I don't see a huge difference when I use it as an exfoliant. Maybe I don't have enough dead skin? It's a good serum, but don't buy it just for the pilling effect because it might not work for you." - Amazon customer review (2024-04)

• Pilling: The term for when a skincare product balls up into little flakes on the skin upon application, often due to rubbing. With this product, pilling is an intentional effect of the massage method to lift dead skin cells.

Is this product like a chemical peel?

No. While it does contain naturally-derived AHAs from pomegranate ferment, its primary exfoliating action in the massage method is physical (gently lifting dead cells through pilling). It is much gentler than a typical AHA/BHA chemical peel.

Can I use this with my retinol or vitamin C serum?

Yes. When used as a hydrating essence, it layers well with other actives. On nights you use the exfoliating massage method, it's best to skip other strong actives to avoid potential irritation.

Is the texture sticky like snail mucin?

It has a similar viscous, stringy texture to snail mucin but it is 100% vegan. Most users find it absorbs well and does not leave a sticky or greasy residue.

Do I need to wash my face after the exfoliating massage?

The brand recommends wiping the residue off with a toner pad or rinsing with lukewarm water. Following with a toner pad can help ensure all residue is removed before you apply your next skincare step.
