The Beplain Mung Bean Pore Clearing LHA Toner clears pores, gently exfoliates, smoothes skin texture, and controls excess oil for a balanced, refreshed complexion. Formulated with LHA, gluconolactone, mung bean extract, and a blend of hydrating hyaluronic acids and peptides, this gentle toner helps lift away dead skin cells, reduce the look of clogged pores, and improve overall skin texture without leaving skin feeling stripped. It also provides lightweight hydration to keep skin feeling soft, refreshed, and comfortable after cleansing.
Mung Bean Pore Clearing LHA Toner is a lightweight toner from beplain, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 43 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 Propanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin.
Firmness signalling: Moderate. Peptides and growth factors that signal for collagen support, and here that comes from Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate and Hexapeptide-9.
On richness alone it suits Balanced 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 barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. 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, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
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.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
