MIXSOON

Mixsoon is a Korean skincare brand, launched in 2020 and run by the company Parket (주식회사 파켓). In Korea its name is written 믹순. On its bottle labels it calls itself a "Pure Ingredient Oriented Skincare Brand", meaning a skincare brand focused on pure ingredients. According to the brand, its essences are undiluted and you pick them to match the state of your skin.

Its flagship product is Bean Essence, an essence made with fermented soybean according to the brand. It is also Mixsoon's best-known product. Around it, the Bean line includes a cleansing oil, creams, a sun stick and eye patches.

The Bean line includes Bean Essence, Bean Cleansing Oil and Bean Cream. The Soybean Milk line includes Soybean Milk Pad and Soybean Milk Serum. The PDRN Collagen line brings together PDRN Collagen Serum, PDRN Collagen Eye Serum, PDRN Collagen Cream and PDRN Collagen Gel Cleanser. PDRN is short for polydeoxyribonucleotide, an ingredient that appears on the serum label next to collagen and a peptide.

For centella, you will find Centella Cleansing Foam, Centella Asiatica Toner and Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence. According to the label of that last product, the centella comes from Jeju. The Cica Hyal line pairs cica with hyaluronic acid, with Cica Hyal Deep Soothing Cream and Cica Hyal Hydrogel Eye Patch among others. Tea tree runs through body and hair care, with Tea Tree AHA Retinol Body Lotion, Tea Tree AHA Body Wash and Tea Tree Scalp Shampoo. Bifida gives you Bifida Toner Pad and Bifida Cream.

Start from what you are looking for. For a first essence, begin with Bean Essence. For a serum, the PDRN Collagen line and Vitamin C 20 Serum are two different worlds. For a moisturizing routine, look at Bean Cream, Bifida Cream or Cica Hyal Deep Soothing Cream.

To cleanse, pick an oil or a balm if you wear makeup, and a foam or a gel for everyday. In the morning, an SPF 50+ sunscreen such as Bean Sun Stick or Centella Sun Cream completes the routine. In the evening, a cream or a mask closes the care. For each product, go by its title, size and label. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice.

If you hesitate between lines, let the ingredient that intrigues you guide you: soybean for the Bean line, centella for care that soothes, PDRN for a more technical routine, tea tree for body and hair. You can also browse essences, serums and masks to compare several brands and formats.

If you like skincare brands with plain labels, also discover Anua or Torriden.

Mixsoon names many of its lines after an ingredient: Bean, centella, PDRN, collagen, bifida, tea tree. Each line name already tells you what is in the bottle, and the labels are plain: a lowercase logo, the product name, the size and a few words in small print. That clarity makes it easier to choose when you are new to the brand.

According to the brand, Mixsoon thinks of its essences in layers: you stack them according to what your skin needs, before the cream. So you can build a short routine with three or four products, or add to it little by little.
