I got a mini to make sure my skin liked it as bifida is an ingredient I hadn’t tried yet. I have dry, sensitive skin and am acne prone with hormonal/inflammatory acne and I believe I’ve noticed a difference in my barrier within a week of using this product. My skin drinks it up and is bouncy/healthy feeling. My breakouts have reduced in both their number and inflammation. I am able to tolerate my retinoid better. I believe this is definitely an ingredient and product my skin likes! A reason I love mixsoon, as the formulations are simple and straightforward and you can truly see whether an ingredient benefits you. It’s a win for me!

This is some pretty amazing stuff, it's what makes my skin glow! Bifida is great for the skin barrier and pumpkin fruit ferment filtrate has exfoliation properties. It also has peptides and niacinamide. Basically te entire INCI is amazing and it's also FA safe. The other version - Bifida BIOME Complex Ampoule - is *not* FA safe but it's very easy to get them mixed up because they look identical.
This ampoule exfoliates the skin and quite effectively, at least in my experience! So if you have very sensitive skin or are using any actives, keep that in mind. My skin gets a little flushed with this but I am using tretinoin. For now I use it once a week but when my skin gets totally used to tret, I plan on using it more because I love it!! It is kind of oily on the skin but it doesn't bother me when it works so well. The glow it gives is unmached!!

So I have oily, sensitive, and acne prone skin and let me just say—this serum is absolutely incredible! My skin is so finicky about products and ingredients that normally work wonders for others. So, when I heard the positive reviews from others about this product I was prepared for it to be yet another flop…But THIS serum omg! It’s outstanding. I notice my skin is less red after using this, my pimples decrease, AND I swear it helps sooth and lessen my hormonal acne. 10/10 highly recommend!
