SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

Mixsoon's Galactomyces Ferment Essence has a water-thin consistency that surprised Dr. Sarah Sheu (board-certified dermatologist), but she found it hydrating without stickiness and giving a nice glow. She notes it's a good introduction to galactomyces ferments and layers well, though she cautions it may not suit those prone to fungal acne or dandruff. She would buy it again, but adds that some company claims about galactomyces filtrate need stronger clinical support.

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
