A multi-tasking essence that hydrates, nourishes, and gently exfoliates to reveal smoother, more balanced skin. Its unique formula, rich in fermented soybean, can be used as a daily hydrating serum or as a weekly exfoliating massage treatment, making it a versatile powerhouse for tackling texture and sebum, especially in the Mauritian climate.

If you're dealing with rough skin texture, clogged pores, or an overproduction of oil, this essence offers a uniquely gentle solution. Unlike harsh scrubs or strong acids, it uses fermented ingredients to both deeply hydrate and physically lift away dead skin cells through a simple massage technique. It strengthens the skin barrier while controlling sebum, leaving skin feeling smooth, plump, and balanced.

• Dual Function: Use daily as a hydrating essence, or 2-3 times a week as a physical exfoliant.
• Key Ingredients: Fermented Soybean, Barley, Pomegranate, and Pear.
• Best For: Oily, combination, and dehydrated skin types concerned with texture and sebum.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Dispense 2-3 pumps and apply to your face.
   • For Daily Hydration: Gently pat into the skin until absorbed.
   • For Exfoliation (2-3x/week): Massage in circular motions for 3-5 minutes until you feel soft particles forming. Wipe off the residue with a damp cloth or toner pad.
3. Protect/Moisturise: Follow with Sunscreen (AM) or a Moisturiser (PM).

Note: Already own a hydrating serum or an exfoliant? Use this as a substitute to see how your skin responds, rather than adding another step.

Use this essence in its hydrating mode in the morning.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. [THIS PRODUCT] (2-3 drops, pat in)
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Optional Additions: You can layer a light hydrating toner before this essence if you have very dehydrated skin. A separate moisturiser is usually not needed if your sunscreen is hydrating enough for the Mauritian climate.

The evening is the perfect time to use this in either hydrating or exfoliating mode.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser (Double cleanse if wearing makeup/water-resistant SPF)
2. [THIS PRODUCT] (See "How to Use" for mode)
3. Moisturiser

Optional Additions: On nights you don't use this as an exfoliant, you can use other actives like a retinoid. See the "Weekly Planner" for how to alternate safely.

This product has two distinct application methods:

Mode 1: Daily Hydrating Essence

• Frequency: Daily, AM and/or PM.
• Amount: 2-3 drops.
• Method: After cleansing and toning, pat gently into the skin until fully absorbed. Follow with your moisturiser or sunscreen. Its purpose here is to deeply hydrate and nourish.

Mode 2: Exfoliating Massage Treatment

• Frequency: 2-3 times per week, PM is recommended.
• Amount: 2-3 pumps.
• Method: Apply to clean, dry skin. Massage your face in circular motions for 3-5 minutes. The essence will thicken, and you will feel small particles forming under your fingers as it lifts dead skin cells and impurities. Wipe the residue off with a toner pad or rinse with water. Then, proceed with the rest of your routine (toner, serum, moisturiser).

Watchouts: Do not use in exfoliating mode on the same night as other strong acids (AHA/BHA) or retinoids to avoid over-exfoliation. If the product doesn't "pill" during massage, your skin may be damp or already well-exfoliated.

Here is an example schedule to incorporate both functions without irritating your skin.

Example Week (PM focus):

• Mon: [THIS PRODUCT] (Exfoliating Mode)
• Tue: [THIS PRODUCT] (Hydrating Mode) + Soothing routine
• Wed: Retinoid night (Use this essence in hydrating mode only)
• Thu: [THIS PRODUCT] (Exfoliating Mode)
• Fri: [THIS PRODUCT] (Hydrating Mode) + Soothing routine
• Sat: Retinoid night (Use this essence in hydrating mode only)
• Sun: Soothing night (no strong actives)

Rule of Thumb: On nights you use the Bean Essence for exfoliation, treat it as your only exfoliant for that routine. On other nights, it works beautifully as a simple hydrating serum that can be paired with other actives like retinoids.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, plump, and soft. After exfoliating, skin appears brighter and feels remarkably smooth.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in sebum production and the appearance of blackheads. Skin texture becomes more refined.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Overall skin tone appears more even and radiant.

• Why use this, not a harsh facial scrub? Abrasive scrubs with large, jagged particles (like sugar or fruit pits) can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and a compromised barrier. The Mixsoon Bean Essence provides physical exfoliation by gently "pilling" with dead skin cells, offering a much safer and more controlled way to achieve smoothness.

• Works With (in Hydrating Mode): Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinoids, and most other common actives. It's a great buffer to use before stronger ingredients.
• Use Carefully: When using in its exfoliating mode, avoid using other exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA, physical scrubs) or retinoids in the same routine to prevent irritation. You can use them on alternate nights.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. Helps control sebum and clear out pores without stripping the skin.
• Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides deep hydration and removes the dry, flaky skin that prevents other products from absorbing well.
• Normal: Very Good. A great way to maintain smooth texture and healthy hydration levels.
• Dry: Good. Provides good hydration but should be followed by a richer moisturiser. The exfoliating function is gentle enough for dry skin.
• Sensitive: Good. The formula is gentle, but as with any physical exfoliant, a patch test is recommended. Use the massage technique with light pressure.

• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Excess sebum and oiliness
• Clogged pores and blackheads
• Dehydration and lack of moisture
• Dull, lackluster skin
• Flaky skin that causes makeup to look cakey

This product is gentle and suitable for most skin types. However, as it has an exfoliating function, it's wise to be cautious.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner arm.
2. Try both methods: pat one spot in, and gently massage another spot to see how your skin reacts to the physical exfoliation.
3. Wait 24-48 hours. If any redness, itching, or irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Caution: When using in exfoliating mode, use gentle pressure and avoid active acne or broken skin.

• Texture/Finish: A viscous, slightly stringy liquid reminiscent of natto or snail mucin. It feels rich upon application but absorbs without heavy residue when used as a hydrating essence. Leaves a smooth, moisturised finish.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but expected to be within a skin-friendly range (approx. 5.5 - 6.5).
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The ingredient list is very short and appears to be free of common fungal acne triggers, making it generally considered FA-safe.

• "It's not pilling when I massage it." -> Ensure your skin is completely dry before application. If it still doesn't pill, your skin may not have enough dead skin build-up at that moment, which is a good sign! Try again in a few days.
• "It feels sticky after I pat it in." -> You might be using too much for the hydrating step. Try reducing the amount to 1-2 drops. A little goes a long way.
• "My skin feels a bit sensitive after exfoliating." -> You may be massaging with too much pressure or for too long. Reduce pressure and limit your massage time to 2-3 minutes. Also, ensure you are not using other exfoliants on the same day.

This essence is an excellent match for Mauritius's climate. In the humid summer, its exfoliating function is perfect for keeping pores clear of sweat, sunscreen, and excess sebum. As a hydrating essence, it provides moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. In the cooler, drier winter months, it provides a solid layer of hydration that can be sealed in with a thicker cream.

• "I was skeptical about the exfoliating part, but it actually works! I massaged it for a few minutes and my skin felt insanely soft and smooth afterwards. It’s my go-to for getting rid of texture before an event." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2023)
• "As a daily essence, it gives my oily skin the perfect amount of hydration without feeling greasy. It has definitely helped control my sebum production throughout the day." — YesStyle review (2024)

Launched in 2020, MIXSOON is a Korean skincare brand dedicated to minimalism and ingredient transparency. Their philosophy is "Healthy skin starts with good ingredients." They focus on extracting the purest essence of nature, often highlighting a single core ingredient, to deliver gentle yet powerful results. Mixsoon champions a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free approach, eliminating unnecessary additives to create effective formulas suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

• Essence: A watery, lightweight skincare step used after toner to deliver a concentrated dose of active ingredients deep into the skin.
• Ferment Extract: An ingredient that has undergone fermentation, using microorganisms to break down molecules. This can make the ingredient more potent, more easily absorbed, and gentler on the skin.
• Lactobacillus: A type of probiotic (beneficial bacteria) commonly used in fermentation. In skincare, it helps to strengthen the skin's barrier and maintain a healthy microbiome.
• Sebum: The natural oil produced by your skin's sebaceous glands to keep it lubricated and protected.

• Best For: Individuals with oily, combo, or dehydrated skin looking for a single product to manage texture, control sebum, and provide hydration.
• Key Benefits: Unique 2-in-1 formula for both hydration and gentle physical exfoliation. Minimalist, fragrance-free ingredient list. Visibly improves skin smoothness and reduces blackheads over time.
• Keep in Mind: The exfoliating effect requires several minutes of manual massage. It is a gentle exfoliant; those needing intensive deep-pore cleaning may still need a separate BHA product.
