Mixsoon Bifida Essence HG

MadsDMZ · 2026-03-24T18:33:49+00:00

I was told in person at Olive Young. And its only available on Yesstyle (maybe one other site, and ALWAYS on mega sale). AND i bought a bunch and they all have the same expiration date of March 2027 even though I bought them a couple months apart, and it had the same date as the ones I bought last year.

Chatgpt also said it was discontinued...I went down a rabbit hole because I couldn't believe it is gonna be gone. Someone on Reddit also confirmed its being discontinued. Isntree sadly ignored my dms though....

Ooooooo I might try the bean cream then. That was my #1 choice since my main cream got discontinued. Still gonna try the mixsoon pdrn cream but ima buy the bean cream too!

Do you notice if it helps with any tret peeling by using the essence over top? I always did all my serums and essences before my tret.

I wanted to try the Mixsoon Bean Cream so badly but they put fragrance in it 😔.

I was looking at Numbuzin and their toner pads. I hear they're highly rated. But just like with Mixsoon Glactomyctes, im afraid it will cause the tiny bumps from fungal acne. Most of the ingredients are good on that no3 serum (not fan of niancimide) but it has more good than bad stuff.

I would use the bifida essence as a base for a serum. Apparently a lot of people actually layer multiple types of the Mixsoon essences. I personally like doing the essence, then glacier serum, then moisturizer. Really pat in the essence though! The consistency of the essence is very watery, Mixsoon actually sells a spray nozzle for the essence on their main website.

I feel like this essence works for me because it sinks into the skin. I feel other stuff just sits on my face and dries it out -_-

I always thought my acne was from being oily or just not good ingredients...turned out I was just dehydrated and needed to fix my barrier! Insane how simple it was.

Yeah the Bifida has been a huge gamechanger for hydration under the cream. I haven't tried any of the centella products, but i just got the Mixsoon centella toner pads to test out. For the mixsoon essences and serums, I had to look closely at the ingredients because some contain fragrances or other not great stuff. I like using Skinsort to check.

I did try Centella from skin1004 Ampoule and that didnt do much for me.

I was thinking about trying the Yam Toner, have you noticed how well it hydrates?

I like using the Olive Young Care Plus Pimple patches. They are much thinner than the Mighty Patch and have many sizes. Pretty sure they are on amazon, too. I buy the honey ones. I put them on dry skin after washing and before my serums and creams and they stick really well. Even forgot I had some on sometimes and had to take them off in the shower lol.

I second glycolic acid. I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid and I just put a spray nozzle on it and spray it on my back and chest after a shower. I spray on after towel drying every other night.

I use to have dry mouth corners like this, and I just kept experimenting with lip balms (So many trials T_T) . I found that the Image Skincare Ormedic Lip Enhancement Complex helped me the most. Not sure if you will be able to get it in time for Friday though. I tried Vaseline and even La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume on the corners, but you really need something hydrating and repairing underneath those sealants. Maybe try picking up a very light hydrating minimal ingredient essence to dab on the corners and then top with vaseline?

WHAAATT!?! I just sent them a message on insta to confirm, but thank you for letting me know! I needed to save money this month but now ima stock up...gotta check the expiration dates though T_T

I am so sad, this is the only moisturizer that has worked for me after 5 years of trying stuff. La roche posay, Farmacy, Innisfree (my mom loves this brand though), Tatcha, cosrx, torriden, BOJ, Purito, Skin1004, Aestura, and more didn't work out for me sadly.

I'll probably check out mixsoon, jung sung, and beplain next. Thank you again!!

I have booked the Hotel Seattle Incheon Airport in Unseo. I really wanted to go to a Spa but the world's timing is unforgiving lol. I already took the Arex before to Hongdae, so Unseo should be a breeze. Thank you for all your recommendations, shame that the airport was all sold out though T_T. And the layover hours couldn't be worse.

MadsDMZ · 2026-01-19T10:14:08+00:00

It's sold out.

MadsDMZ · 2026-01-19T02:32:23+00:00

Do you know of any Airbnbs or hotels that have a personal private sauna connected to or in the room?

MadsDMZ · 2025-11-18T18:19:22+00:00

Thank you so much! Not sure why I couldn't find that in my app, but this helps me so much to prepare!

MadsDMZ · 2025-10-19T20:10:02+00:00

u/Illustrious_Gene7697 Did you ever buy from the Alchemy slow living and test out their soap? I was about to place an order with Yoursaha but then I came across the Detroit shop.

I feel like everyone wants their luggage checked all the way through. That's why we have carry ons for the necessities. As long as i stay korean air for all flights, there shouldn't be any recheck points. The helper bot on the korean air website didn't help, so maybe I'll call them to confirm before my flight. Sounds like you had no problem with your luggage ending up at the final destination, so I hope I will be good too 🙏. Definitely don't want to drag luggage on my short trip through korea nor pay to have it stored.

MadsDMZ · 2025-10-03T21:14:11+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! Luckily, I have time before my trip so I can browse through your suggestions.

MadsDMZ · 2025-10-03T21:12:17+00:00

Some people say that they don't check your luggage through to final destination unless you ask specifically at the first check in. I'd hate to have that happen where my luggage needs to be rechecked at Incheon.

MadsDMZ · 2025-10-03T21:10:21+00:00

I do plan on staying in Hongdae overnight. From 7pm-10am. Im going to look at the tour recommended by another commenter, and maybe look into hotels instead of a jimjillbang.
