As a single-ingredient product, those who respond well to beta-glucan can use this without irritation. It's the top choice for combating deep dryness. Pro tip: buy the mist pump separately from the website and spritz it throughout the day for best results!
ConsNo downsides! This is a must-have in my routine and I really hope they never discontinue it!

ConsWhile I still feel some deep dryness when I wake up in the morning, it's noticeably less than before, so I'm considering repurchasing it for now.

It's a gentle product you can apply generously without worrying about skin irritation. I could feel my deep dryness gradually disappearing.
ConsThe price is quite high for the amount you get. I wanted to repurchase after finishing it, but the cost is a bit burdensome.
TipUse it together with soy essence for best results!

Usually, products designed to combat deep dryness contain hyaluronic acid, which can be tricky as you need to slowly adapt to it based on your skin condition. However, beta-glucan is fantastic because it addresses deep dryness while being gentle on the skin! I've been using it for about two weeks, applying it morning and night daily, except for a few days when I was too busy. I originally had severe dehydration where my face would produce a lot of oil, but still feel tight underneath. After using this product, I definitely feel less dehydrated, and my skin feels more supple. While the warmer weather lately might have contributed, I haven't experienced any deep dryness since about a week after I started using it, even on days that are still a bit dry. I started using it when my skin was irritated, hoping it might help with soothing, but it doesn't seem to have a significant effect on calming the skin. The texture is almost water-like, so I've stopped using toner since I started with this product. I just follow it up with a runny essence and cream.
ConsIt doesn't seem to have any added fragrance, which results in a slight medicinal scent... It reminds me of the smell in elementary school science labs. As someone who enjoys pleasant scents, I find this a bit disappointing. However, unless you put it right up to your nose, it's not very noticeable, so it should be fine for most people except those extremely sensitive to smells! The quantity is a bit small for the price, but you can get an idea of how much you get from the photo below.
TipThe instructions say not to apply it to wounded areas, but I forgot and put it on a spot where I had popped a pimple. It stung so much, I was really surprised! I thought it would be okay on wounds since it's so gentle, but it was actually quite painful. Everyone, please be careful!

Leaves a dewy glow after absorption. Effective for deep dryness. Price is a bit disappointing. Caution for blemishes in oily areas. As someone with dry and combination skin, my biggest concerns were dead skin cells and deep dryness. I was looking for a moisturizing product that wouldn't leave my skin greasy, and I got to try this as part of The Hwahae Testers. The attached hand photos show the application process: immediately after application -> after absorption. Can you see the glow (not an oily sheen, but a subtle inner glow) that appears as the water-like formula absorbs? 1. Texture It has a fluid, water-like consistency. Think of the fluidity of typical skin toners. It doesn't have the viscosity of snail mucin products. When rubbed between hands, it feels slippery - somewhere between water and oil. It feels as light as a toner on contact, but unlike toners that evaporate and leave skin dry, this leaves a moisturized feeling. 2. Hydration Despite its watery appearance, I was surprised by how moisturizing it is! It challenged my assumption that moisturizing always means sticky and oily. I used it after toner and before emulsion, and found that even with just this, my skin wasn't very dry. Now I only need to apply emulsion and moisturizer very lightly. It's effective for deep dryness. 3. Absorption Although it starts out watery, it absorbs well with gentle patting. I tried using it as a skin pack once, but that used too much product and hand patting was much better for absorption.
Cons1. Texture While I personally didn't find it too inconvenient, the fluid texture and bottle design can make it difficult to control the amount dispensed. If you're not careful, you might end up with precious essence running down your arm to your elbow (remember, it's 320 won per ml...). 2. Absorption While it absorbs well into the face, it leaves a slippery feeling on the hands after application. 3. Price As I've been using it, I've found that it's not as wasteful as I thought, but I still wouldn't dare use it for a skin pack. I've used about 1/4 of the bottle in two weeks. 4. Blemishes Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't have any issues due to the gentle ingredients. However, I did notice some pimples appearing in areas with more oil production like the T-zone and chin. I'll update the review after adjusting the amount I use in these areas.
TipAfter this absorbs, it leaves a subtle glow. If you apply the rest of your skincare lightly and then do your makeup, it creates a beautiful skin finish! It paired better with matte/semi-matte foundations rather than dewy ones. Rather than applying a large amount at once, it works better to apply thin layers gradually. I use four drops at a time, spreading it with both hands before letting it absorb.

Composed of 100% beta-glucan instead of purified water as its sole ingredient, it's gentle and packed with hydration. When my skin was irritated and blemish-prone around my cheeks and mouth due to mask-wearing, I started using this consistently. The result? It replenished my skin's deep hydration and significantly calmed it down! As someone with extremely dry skin year-round, this was a game-changer. What's more, being somewhat sensitive to scents, I absolutely loved that this product is nearly fragrance-free.
ConsThere's honestly nothing to complain about! The design is sleek and I'm thoroughly impressed.
TipI prefer to use this with a skincare device to enhance absorption.

Every time the seasons change, my skin becomes super sensitive, which is always a concern. Products with bifida ferment often cause blemishes for me, so I'm always cautious when choosing an essence. The Mixsoon Beta reminds me a bit of the blue bottle from Dr. 0 - the texture and how it tackles deep dryness are quite similar. After trying Mixsoon products, I find them gentle, which makes me curious about their other offerings.
ConsThe disappointing part is that the volume is too small. It's somewhere between an essence and a toner, so it tends to be used up quickly as you need to apply it generously.
TipFor a boost before morning makeup, I use it like a skin pack, letting the essence absorb fully. When applied to my cheeks, which are prone to redness, it helps my cushion foundation go on smoothly and evenly.

It has a watery consistency, but when applied, it absorbs like an oily essence and leaves a glow. My skin tends to be thin and slow to absorb products, so I spent some time pressing it in with my hands. It gave a dewy, hydrated look! Unless you're in a rush in the morning, you could layer it 2-3 times and skip other skincare steps. Even when used alone, it prevented deep dryness. Throughout my testing period, I felt less dry as time passed. (I finished with this routine: exfoliating toner, followed by beta-glucan essence, and then a hydrating cream)
ConsThe formula tends to pour out quickly, which can feel wasteful as it absorbs into your hands or drips. I think a dropper-style bottle would allow for more economical application.
TipI found that applying it in multiple layers while helping it absorb works really well.

My eye and mouth areas are usually very dry, to the point where I apply Vaseline as a final step in my skincare routine. But with about two layers of this essence, I feel it filling in that deep dryness. It's like a thin protective film forms on the skin. After layering it about three times, I can move straight to the moisturizer step.
ConsAlthough it's called an essence, the texture is almost like a watery exfoliating toner, which makes you use it generously. Even if you try to use it sparingly, using it morning and night, a 100ml bottle might only last a month. It would be great if it came in a larger size or if they could lower the price!
TipFor best results, first apply it with a cotton pad as an exfoliating toner, then pat it in with your hands for extra absorption.

Despite its water-like texture that's not sticky at all, it provides deep hydration 2. Absorbs completely into the skin without sitting on top, perfectly solving deep dryness! 3. Transforms rough skin texture into silky smoothness
ConsAs someone who prefers scented products, it would have been perfect if it had a fresh fragrance. The price point is also a bit high. Other than that, it's an absolutely flawless essence!
