I was on Olive and Young and purchased some of the BePlain popular products. They gave me 3 trial sets and I decided to test them out. Upon research, I discovered that all these are their best products. Other than step 4 (CicaCalming Gel), all of them have received one or more beauty awards.
I started testing these out on a day when my skin was famished and I had worn a (medical) mask for over 5 hours. It was a very cold day, so my heater was on full blast, not to mention, the humidity at home fell to 38%. My skin was sensitive. This is when I decided to give this kit a try!
Each kit contains 5 products. Before I begin the review, I wanted to mention that if you are planning to try out a trial kit, a good tip to remember is to give your skin enough time to absorb the product from the last step before you begin using the next step, this will allow your skin to benefit from each product and won't cross-contaminate the ingredients of each by mixing them together.
For each description, I pulled the translation from Google Translation (and made small edits)... apologizes in advance if they sound strange.
Step 1: Greenful pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam
This is a mildly acidic cleanser that is recommended to use every day. Clear to ultra-fine dust!
Mung bean extract and mung bean powder contain moisture, moisture-free face wash with mild acidity
#ideal for sensitive skin,
#safe face wash,
#mung bean face wash
Mung bean clears tired skin and gives a beautiful mind
In the old days, when there were no face washes, mung bean powder was used to wash grains. Mung bean has been loved for a long time as a raw material that helps purify the skin.
BePlain mung bean foam contains mung bean extract to provide excellent cleaning powder as well as the comfort provided by grains.
This is a gentle daily facial cleanser that is made with Mung bean extract that helps cleanse impurities while keeping the skin hydrated and comfortable.
Take a small amount and later with water, gently massage onto your face and rinse thoroughly.
impressions:
- hardly any scent (but did smell a bit like mung beans)
- very sticky and dry (needed to add water as you lather)
- worked up a nice pasty lather
- I noticed that my skin got a bit.... brighter/whiter
I noticed the aroma of mung beans the moment I started using this cleanser, it felt like I was slabbing on some mung bean paste dessert on my face. There were even bits of mung beans in the cleanser!

so.... wow! just.... wow! I love this trial kit! I used this skin routine for a few days (since I had a few trial kits) and noticed a dramatic change in my skin!...
This is perfect for those who have very sensitive skin and/or damaged skin.
I'm done! This post took A LOT LONGER than I thought it would take!... I apologize for any broken English (my brain was fried by the time I finished trying to figure out what the Korean-> English translations were saying).
Overall, BePlain seems to be a good skincare brand. I am planning on buying their full-size products for the Camomile products and the green bean (mung bean) cleanser.
Let me know if there were any products you found interesting :) or which ones have you used/heard about and are interested in/have an opinion about :)
