beplain Mung Bean Pore Tight-up Soothing Cream

What is this product?

No ceramide, squalane, or plant butter appears anywhere on the label, and the only two true emollient-class ingredients sit mid-list at modest positions. The verbatim ingredient list is official tier, confirmed against the brand's own official-mall page (a rework-1 re-fetch corrected an earlier archive copy that had suffered byte-level re-encoding corruption). No English INCI list, pH value, or clinical test detail exists anywhere in the archive. Best for oily, pore-conscious, and dehydrated-oily skin seeking a light, cooling pore-care step; very dry skin needs a heavier sealing cream instead.

What makes it different?

A quartet of mung bean extracts (seed, an unspecified-part extract, sprout, whole-plant) each disclosed at an identical 10ppm, layered onto a niacinamide-and-adenosine formulation that is not itself registered as a functional cosmetic (per the brand's own official page), a pore-and-cooling positioning distinct from the ceramide- or hyaluronate-headline creams that dominate the rest of the creams compared here.
