4.2Hyalraebae Pore Blurring Cream
  • “This is a richer gel cream but it's still very lightweight richer than the tikka gel cream that we talked about earlier”11:43–11:47
  • “The key ingredients here are going to be that poly glutamic acid along with sodium hyaluronate the salt of hyaluronic acid. Plus the soothing and anti-inflammatory nyioinomide and licorice root”11:49–11:55
  • “This is very hydrating, very soothing. It really helps to improve overall skin texture”12:04–12:08
  • “Using a moisturizer like this really yields a nice sustained increase in water content in the skin”12:07–12:15
  • “Those little fine lines that are solely related to dehydration will just disappear”12:24–12:29
  • “Hyperpigmentation also becomes less obvious when you optimize water content just through light scattering”12:13–12:16
  • “When you have improved water content in the outermost layers of the skin... you get a plump outermost layer. When the skin is plump, it's filled with hydration, it's bouncy, it's luminous, it's glowy, the diameter of the pore naturally looks less prominent”12:53–12:58
  • “Hydration is key for cutting down on blackheads and white heads. Don't underestimate that”13:46–13:50

4Galactomyces Ferment Essence
  • “I wasn't expecting the consistency of this product to feel so thin. It basically feels like water based on the pump packaging. I was expecting more of a serum consistency”2:56–3:03
  • “I found that it made my skin look hydrated without feeling sticky”4:59–5:05
  • “It gives me a nice glow, probably from the lactic acid content, and it layers well with my other moisturizers”5:02–5:08
  • “I don't think that it's necessarily the same as SK2's essence for the reasons that I mentioned earlier, but I do think that it's a nice introduction to Galactomyces ferments and it's a nice toner step for a moisturizer routine”5:08–5:14
  • “People who are very prone to fungal acne or dandruff this product may not be a great fit for you”6:04–6:12
  • “Like a lot of skincare ingredients, while I think there are some benefits to using this product, like the lactic acid and antioxidants providing some smoothing and brightening effects, I think that some of the claims that companies make about galactomyces filtrate need to be better supported by clinical evidence”6:12–6:15
  • “Bottom line is that I would buy this product again”6:35–6:39

4.2Black Rice Peeling Ampoule
1.5Centella Sun Cream
Brand note

Korean skincare built around fermented bean and centella for sensitive skin.

Mixsoon is a K-beauty brand that leans into gentle, fermented ingredients — their Bean Essence is a standout for hydration without irritation, especially if snail mucin isn't your thing. The Centella Asiatica Toner is a no-fuss, lightweight soother for unhappy skin, but their Centella Sun Cream is a miss with a strong lavender scent that can sting sensitized skin. Overall, the brand works best for those wanting simple, calming routines, though not every product delivers.
