Mixsoon Skincare Bundle

I was very kindly sent a skincare collection by Mixsoon to try, a brand I haven't used before and have been using for the past few weeks, so here are some initial thoughts.  I have been a fan of K-Beauty for some time and have used many different brands, all of which I have shared on my blog, so it is a delight to add another brand into that mix.
Mixsoon Skincare Bundle
Combining the English word “mix” and the Korean word for “pure,” Korean beauty brand Mixsoon is dedicated to clean beauty and a minimalist approach to skin care. I was kindly sent a bundle of products to try out from YesStyle and within that bundle are some of the brands Star products such as: Bean Essence, Master Serum and Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence.

Mixsoon Bean Essence - This essence features a jelly-like formula enriched with fermented soybeans, barley, pear, and pomegranate, providing deep hydration and nourishment for your skin. This versatile essence also functions as a peeling gel exfoliant, effectively removing dead skin cells to reveal a smooth, dewy complexion.

Loaded with essential amino acids, vitamins, and natural AHAs, this essence enhances skin vitality and improves overall texture, leaving your skin feeling revitalised and refreshed without any stick residue and it is a delightful texture to use.

Mixsoon Soybean Milk Pad - These are perhaps the most wonderfully kooky product in this collection and the one that intrigued me the most.  These Milky toner pads, can also be used as sheet masks to soothe and hydrate skin!

Inside each sachet are 3 soft pads and each one is packed with fermented soybean milk, centella and hyaluronic acid and they all come together as ingredients to soothe, moisturise and the best part if that you can apply them anywhere - neck, elbows, cheeks, wrists, calves and they even make a good base for priming the skin prior to makeup.

Mixsoon Centella Sun Cream PA++++ SPF50+ - I am a bit obsessed with this Sun Cream, the texture, how it makes my skin feel and no white cast make it just brilliant. With it being SPF50+ it also offers powerful protection against harmful UV rays whilst at the same time, also nourishing the skin due to the inclusion of Centella Asiatica, its star ingredient. With a lightweight, serum-like texture, it absorbs smoothly into the skin without leaving a white cast or stickiness.

Centella Asiatica extract combined with Glycerin, this sun cream offers soothing, balancing, and moisturising benefits as well as helping to combat dry patches, skin irritations, and impurities, while regulating sebum production, making it particularly suitable for sensitive or irritated skin.

Mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil - This is a lovely lightweight and nourishing formula that effectively removes stubborn makeup and excess oils, leaving your skin refreshed, moisturised, and glowing.  It is Rich in amino acids and antioxidants, this cleanser is infused with soybean, pear, and pomegranate to deeply hydrate your skin, promoting healing and improving texture.

This cleansing oil is also enriched with Vitamin E, this oil-based cleanser protects against free radical damage, helping to maintain a youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum - This is one of my favourite products within this collection so far. Infused with three types of hyaluronic acid, this serum works to deliver deep hydration, providing an intense moisture boost exactly when your skin needs it.

It has quite a rich texture for a serum, so it is ideal for daily use, leaving skin feeling plump, firm, and supple. The serum also absorbs easily without leaving any sticky residue.

Mixsoon Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence - Described as being the ultimate solution for irritated and troubled skin. This essence is formulated with 100% Centella Asiatica Extract a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient whose properties work to reduce redness and inflammation, soothing even the most sensitive skin.

This best-selling South Korean Cica essence has been clinically proven to reduce skin irritation by 27%, making it an ideal choice for acne-prone, dull, or uneven skin tones. Centella Asiatica’s potent calming and healing abilities help soothe rashes, minimise redness from acne, and restore a balanced, refreshed complexion, leaving your skin glowing and revitalised.  What I love is how cooling it feels on the skin when used and if you ever have the unfortunate issue with razor burn - this is a god send to use.

Mixsoon Galactomyces Ferment Essence - This Essence works to revitalise dull and tired skin. It is formulated with 100% Galactomyces to tackle issues like discoloration, acne scarring, and pigmentation.

Again, this is a lightweight essence which is said to offer deep hydration and revitalisation while at the same time managing sebum production and enhancing skin elasticity, resulting in a brighter, more even skin tone and a radiant complexion.  This essence is perfect for those with dull, dry, or uneven skin tones, as well as oily skin and visible pores.  

By exfoliating dead skin cells and smoothing your skin’s surface, this vegan and cruelty-free formula strengthens your skin barrier, boosting elasticity and vitality for a refreshed complexion.

Mixsoon Centella Cleansing Foam - This is perhaps my least favourite product in this collection as I am not a fan of foaming cleansers in general, however it is a gentle, soothing, and hydrating facial cleanser that thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, something I was not expecting, if I am being honest.

This cleanser is infused with 32.8% Centella Asiatica Extract, known for its calming and healing properties and it also contains Altermonas, an ingredient that helps lock in moisture, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and comfortable after cleansing. With a mildly acidic pH of 3.0-5.0, the formula aligns with the skin’s natural pH, maintaining balance and reducing the risk of irritation. The rich, soft lather gently removes impurities, leaving your skin refreshed.

Mixsoon Bifida Ferment Essence - This essence is crafted with 100% bifida ferment extract and its yeast-based formula is said to penetrate deeply, delivering essential nutrients that boost your skin barrier and elasticity, resulting in plump, youthful, and radiant skin.  It is also packed with anti-aging benefits, this essence provides intense hydration and nourishment, reinforcing your skin barrier to shield against external damage, pollution, and environmental stressors.

This essence is also ideal for those with acne and rosacea-prone skin, the Mixsoon Bifida Ferment Essence accelerates your skin's natural regeneration process, helping to reduce redness and soothe acne while offering deep nourishment.

Mixsoon Centella Asiatica Toner - Said to be the toner for skin which is irritated and sensitive, this essence is designed to calm and repair irritated skin whilst at the same time boosting hydration and promoting collagen production, leaving your complexion firmer, plumper, and radiant.

Ideal for acne-prone, inflamed, and damaged skin, this Centella Asiatica-infused toner has a wonderful lightweight, water-like consistency that is quickly absorbed, providing the skin with deep nourishment for a clear and rejuvenated appearance. It is also loaded with amino acids, fatty acids, and phytochemicals, this toner delivers essential nutrients, soothing irritations and nourishing your skin for optimal health.

I am still getting to know these products but as an initial view after a few weeks, I am so impressed I would happily try more from the range.  If you have liked what you have read so far, YesStyle have kindly given me a code to save you some money on these products and many others - BEAUTYQUEEN7
