What is this product?

beplain's Mung Bean Pore Cleansing Milk Balm is a 100ml first cleanse for oily or dehydrated-oily skin that wears makeup: it turns milky the moment water hits it, rinses clean, and carries an LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid) and a PHA (gluconolactone) for congested pores. Two caveats: the 10,000 ppm mung bean extract beplain leads with is printed on a third-party retail page rather than on its own, and beplain publishes neither a pH nor its acid amounts.

What makes it different?

The balm-to-milk change is not just marketing: two polyglyceryl-ester emulsifiers break it into a milky emulsion the moment water hits it, so it rinses without leaving a film, and nothing scented is declared on the list. That 10,000 ppm mung bean figure is the only amount on offer here, which makes it a decent makeup-and-sebum first step but a weak one to judge the pore actives by.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: Cetearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
