As someone with sensitive, redness-prone combo skin, finding a daily cleanser that doesn’t leave me irritated, stripped, or broken out is a serious challenge. 

So when I picked up the beplain Mung Bean pH-Balancing Cleansing Foam, I honestly didn’t expect much. 

But three weeks later? I’ve been using it every day — and not once has my skin freaked out.

Let’s talk texture first. This comes out as a soft gel-cream that foams lightly, not into thick clouds but into a fine lather that feels super gentle. It’s not squeaky or harsh — and most importantly for my skin, it doesn’t give that “tight” post-wash feeling that usually screams barrier damage incoming.

I noticed that my redness actually looked calmer right after rinsing, which is rare for me. Most foaming cleansers tend to inflame my cheeks or leave behind dry patches, but this one just makes my skin feel clean, balanced, and soft — not raw.

Now here’s a tip for anyone with my kind of skin:

🧼 Use lukewarm water only (hot water makes redness worse) 🧼

🫧 Lather in your palms first, not on your face — reduces friction 💭

🧴 Follow with a barrier-repair toner or essence — this cleanser preps the skin perfectly for hydration steps🧴

What I love most about this cleanser is how non-disruptive it is. It doesn’t promise extreme exfoliation or miracle brightening — it just does the basics beautifully. And for reactive skin types? That’s more valuable than any fancy ingredient list.

Also, mung bean is an underrated ingredient. It’s naturally soothing, has mild anti-inflammatory properties, and the pH-balanced formula helps keep my skin from spiraling into oil-dry chaos by noon.

This is the kind of cleanser I now recommend to friends who say, “everything makes me red” — because I’ve been there. And this? This doesn’t make anything worse. It just makes things calmer.
