I couldn't receive the product on the day I won because it was my dorm check-in day. So, my mother used it instead and shared her feedback! She's in her 50s with oily skin type. ✅ Texture: She says it feels like there's a drop of oil in it, making the skin feel smooth when applied! The nutrients seem to absorb well without being sticky. ✅ No blemishes: Although my mother doesn't have particularly sensitive skin, she didn't experience any blemishes or pimples after using it. ✅ As she's middle-aged, skin tends to become dry with age, but she likes how this seems to prevent that dryness! The following is the review my mother sent directly: Beta-glucan Essence The bottle itself looks pure, as if it doesn't contain various chemical ingredients. Recently, with the severe temperature changes, makeup often looks cakey, but this product transforms dryness into moisture from within, creating smooth skin that doesn't look cakey all day. It's a refreshing water-type formula, so I use it to prep my skin before applying toner. It seems to refine skin texture while providing both hydration and nourishment, which I love. That's why I use it both before toner and during the essence step. Oh! Remember I mentioned it feels like there's a drop of oil mixed in? Well, I usually don't do well with oil-based products, but this doesn't feel sticky or greasy at all - just smooth. Also, when I feel dry, using it twice - before toner and during the essence step - seems even better. I highly recommend this for people in their 50s like me who are experiencing decreased skin hydration. It seems to tackle both hydration and nourishment at once. Above all, it feels like it doesn't contain unnecessary chemical ingredients, so it might be good for sensitive skin too.
ConsWhile there weren't any significant downsides, a couple of minor points to note: The scent, which is subjective, has an alcohol-like smell that I personally didn't like. Also, the amount seems a bit small for the price.

Not only are the ingredients kind to the skin, but the packaging is also eco-friendly. They didn't use any plastic, bubble wrap, or box tape. Instead, they used paper tape and paper cushioning, which made me feel good from the moment I opened the box. Above all, I was excited to try a water-type essence for the first time. The ingredients are crucial, especially during pregnancy. I've changed all my lip products and skincare, and this Mixsoon essence has only one ingredient: pure beta-glucan essence! Wow... I can use it with confidence knowing the ingredients are so good. (Mixsoon: What's the ingredient to be cautious about? Haha) The refreshing feel is great! The texture makes a big difference in how it feels, and being a water type, it's not sticky. It absorbs quickly, leaving a fresh feeling. If you want to boost hydration quickly, this product might be perfect for you. It provides intense hydration! You know the 7-skin method? You can get a similar effect with just two layers of this. It's moisturizing with a slightly smooth feel. It adheres to the skin well, providing not just hydration but also a hint of richness, similar to Laneige Cream Skin. It lasts longer than toner! Though it's a water type, it's still an essence. Unlike toner, it doesn't evaporate quickly and maintains skin hydration for longer. (It's even better if you apply two layers!)
ConsThe scent... It's supposed to be unscented, but I'm not sure why this happened. I don't know if it was my sensitive nose or the product itself... It wasn't every time, but about every other application, I kept getting whiffs of an alcohol-like scent reminiscent of hospitals. Then the next time it would be fine, so I'd use it again with hope, only to smell it again. This is a personal experience, so it's hard to say for certain. (I'll keep using it and add another review later!) The container While I really appreciated the eco-friendly packaging, I can't help but wish the container was made of glass. That's just my personal preference and a minor disappointment. And... The price...? It's a bit pricey to purchase with my own money. With only one ingredient, the cost is not exactly budget-friendly.
TipApply it twice! You can maximize the effects compared to applying it just once. The moisturizing effect doesn't just double, it triples or quadruples!

Recently, I've been stressed, and my skin became dry with small bumps on my forehead and a huge blemish on my chin. But after using this product, I could immediately see the redness from the blemishes calming down the next day! The formula is quite thin, so I used it right after cleansing at the toner stage. I think this gave it more of a booster effect, as it seemed less effective when used after toner. Moisturizing even in summer The texture is neither too watery nor too thick - it's like water but with a slippery feel. This makes it perfect for summer use! It also absorbs well into the skin. Eco-friendly shipping and sleek product packaging First off, it was shipped without plastic, wrapped in paper padding, which gave a great brand image. The product container is clean and simple, making it a pleasure to have on your vanity! Soothing effect! Thanks to its great hydration, it had an excellent effect on calming redness from flushing and blemishes! I have super sensitive skin that reacts to many ingredients, but this worked well for me!
ConsThe reason for deducting one star... the price... While I'd consider repurchasing based on product effectiveness alone, the container is quite small... I probably wouldn't buy it again for 32,000 won. The scent isn't particularly pleasant, with a very faint chemical-like smell. Those sensitive to fragrances might not like it! Personally, I didn't mind at all because the product works so well.
TipIt seems to work best when used first, at the toner stage!!!

(Plus, I've added my thoughts after purchasing it myself) Duration: Used morning and evening right after cleansing for a week. Skin condition: I have combination dehydrated skin, and lately, due to wearing a mask at work, I've been experiencing some warmth on my cheeks and chin after work. It was also a week before my period, so my skin was particularly sensitive. Application method: In the morning, I applied it like a toner. In the evening, I used a galvanic device to enhance absorption. Texture: It has a clear, water-like consistency. When applying, it feels slightly slippery like soapy water, but without any oiliness. In the morning, after applying it like a toner, I didn't experience immediate dryness. In the evening, using it with the galvanic device seemed to eliminate my deep dryness and maintain hydration. On the first day, I only applied a light layer of serum on top. By the sixth night, I didn't apply anything else after it. On the fourth morning, confident in my skin's improved condition, I only applied this as a toner without any other products and went to work. However, by evening, I felt some deep dryness. Considering my age (30s) and the particular sensitivity of my skin during this period, if used as a toner, it seems best to follow with a light moisturizing product. Personal purchase review: I'm currently on my third bottle. As we're entering a seasonal change, I'm applying this product generously at the start of my routine, followed by just a thin layer of serum. Due to my rough skin texture, it initially felt slippery and sat on the surface. With proper patting, the sticky surface feeling disappears after about 10-15 minutes, but those who dislike this sensation might want to consider this. Using it like a regular toner didn't make my skin feel tight or uncomfortable. However, it seems more suitable for dry to combination dehydrated skin types who don't apply many products after toner/essence, rather than for oily skin types.
ConsThe scent is unfamiliar. It's subtle when applied, but reminds me of a mild medicinal or pharmaceutical smell. This might be surprising for those not used to it or those sensitive to fragrances in cosmetics.
TipPersonally, I found using it with the galvanic device in the evening more satisfying. It helped eliminate the deep dryness I was experiencing.
