BEPLAIN Mung Bean Pore Tightening Serum 30ml

Mung bean has been used in Korean skin care for a long time, traditionally as a ground powder cleanser, and beplain built its whole line around it. The beplain mung bean pore serum takes that ingredient into the serum step, aimed at the appearance of enlarged pores rather than at cleansing.

The texture is the first thing you notice. It starts as a gel and turns watery on contact, then absorbs without leaving a film, which matters in a product meant for skin that already runs oily. Menthoxypropanediol gives it a genuine cooling sensation as it goes on, which is where the mung bean association comes from: mung bean is considered a cooling ingredient in Korean tradition.

Niacinamide sits fourth on the list, with acetyl hexapeptide-8, glyceryl glucoside, hyaluronic acid and a run of fruit and flower extracts including pomegranate flower, gardenia, apple, peach and blueberry. The formula is fragrance free, alcohol free and oil free. As a beplain mung bean serum it works twice daily after toner, and beplain canada shoppers usually arrive via the cleansing foam and work outward through the line.

Key Ingredients

●        Vigna Radiata (Mung Bean) Seed Extract: the ingredient the whole beplain line is built on

●        Niacinamide: a widely used vitamin B3 ingredient, fourth on the list

●        Menthoxypropanediol: the cooling agent behind the sensation on application

●        Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: the peptide in the formula

●        Glyceryl Glucoside and Hyaluronic Acid: the hydration pairing

●        Pomegranate flower, gardenia, apple, peach and blueberry extracts: the botanical blend

Claims

●        Fragrance free, alcohol free and oil free

●        Contains menthoxypropanediol, which produces a cooling sensation. This is expected and settles as the serum absorbs

●        A cosmetic serum. It is not a medical or acne treatment and does not shrink pores

●        Pore size is largely determined by genetics. Products in this category work on how pores look rather than on their actual size

●        Avoid the eye area

●        Patch test before first use if your skin is reactive

●        Discontinue use if irritation occurs
