I recently discovered Mixsoon Bean Essence, and I'm hooked! This Korean skincare product has become a staple in my daily routine. Here's why: *Application:* I apply it after toning, pouring a few drops onto my palm and gently patting it into my face and neck. *Feel:* It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple. *Scent:* It has a light, natural scent, almost unscented. *Active Ingredients:* The essence contains fermented soybean extract, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin, which provide intense hydration and anti-aging benefits. *Retail Price:* Around $25-$30 for a 50ml bottle. *Weight:* 50ml, perfect for travel or daily use. *Safety:* It's safe to use every day, morning and evening. *Step in Skincare:* Use it after toning, as an essence step, to help with skin texture and hydration. *Compatibility:* Works well with other products, but avoid using with products containing exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) as it may reduce effectiveness. *Texture:* Lightweight, watery, and non-greasy. *Vitamin C, Retinol, Niacinamide:* Safe to use with these ingredients, but start with a small amount to ensure no sensitivity. *Korean Skincare:* Yes, it's a Korean product. *Existence:* Mixsoon has been around since 2018, but this product has gained popularity recently due to its natural ingredients and effectiveness. Overall, Mixsoon Bean Essence is a game-changer for hydration and skin texture. Give it a try if you're looking for a lightweight, natural essence that works well with other products!

SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum: *My Experience:* I've been using the SOMEBYMI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum for a few weeks now, and I'm impressed! This serum is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into my skin. It has a gentle, subtle scent that's almost undetectable. The texture is silky smooth, making it perfect for layering under moisturizer or sunscreen. *Application:* I apply 2-3 drops to my face and neck after cleansing and toning, usually at night. I gently massage it in until fully absorbed, then follow up with my usual skincare routine. *Active Ingredients:* This serum contains retinol (0.025%), niacinamide, vitamin E, and adenosine. These ingredients work together to reduce fine lines, improve skin elasticity, and brighten my complexion. *Retail Price & Weight:* The retail price is around $25, and the serum weighs 1.01 fl oz (30ml). *Safety & Usage:* It's safe to use every day, but I prefer using it at night since retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun. I apply it after cleansing and toning, as the third step in my skincare routine. *Compatibility:* It works well with other products, but be cautious when combining it with other active ingredients like vitamin C, AHA/BHA, or niacinamide, as this may increase skin sensitivity. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as needed. *Texture & Scent:* The texture is lightweight and silky, while the scent is almost unscented. *Korean Skincare:* Yes, this is a Korean skincare product from the brand SOMEBYMI. *Product Existence:* SOMEBYMI launched this product in 2020, so it's relatively new to the market. Overall, I'm happy with the results and will continue using this serum as part of my skincare routine!

Dry/Resilient

I've been using the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely loving it! To apply, I pour a few drops onto my palm, gently pat it onto my face, and then smooth it out with a gentle stroking motion. It feels so lightweight and silky on my skin, like a gentle hug. This essence has a very mild, almost imperceptible scent - I'd say it's basically unscented. The active ingredients include 96% snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and trehalose, which work together to provide intense hydration, soothe, and plump up my skin. The retail price is around $15-$20, depending on where you buy it. The bottle weighs 100ml, which is a great size for travel or everyday use. I use it every day, both morning and evening, as the 5th step in my skincare routine (after cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and essence). This product works beautifully with other products in my routine, including vitamin C, retinol, AHA/BHA, and niacinamide. However, as with any new product, be sure to patch test and start with a small amount to ensure you don't have any sensitivity. The texture is famously tacky and stretchy. If you can get over the texture, it is lightweight and watery, making it perfect for all skin types, even oily skin. And yes, it's a Korean skincare product! COSRX is a well-known brand in the K-beauty world, and this product has been a best-seller for years. Overall, I'm so glad I added this essence to my routine - my skin feels so soft, supple, and hydrated, and I can already see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Give it a try if you're looking for a gentle, effective, and affordable skincare product.
