Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Beplain Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam is a gentle yet effective daily facial cleanser that effortlessly removes impurities, sebum, and ultrafine dust while maintaining the skin’s natural balance. Infused with nourishing Mung Bean Extract and Mung Bean Powder, along with the soothing benefits of green tea, this lightweight foam envelops the skin in a soft, refreshing lather. Its pH-balanced formula ensures deep hydration, improving skin texture, transparency, and moisture retention without irritation. This cleanser leaves the skin feeling clean, comfortable, and revitalized with every use.
Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam is a lightweight foam cleanser from beplain, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 37 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Lauryl Betaine, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Lauryl Betaine and Ethylhexylglycerin.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on oil control, brightening and tone, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
