Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is skin texture. Comments about texture and flakes, like 'skin feels soft and smooth after rinsing' and 'gently rolling the granules clears the flakes,' were the most common, at 37 reviews. Several also mention makeup going on well the next day. That said, some say 'by evening it's bumpy again,' so how long it lasts feels different from person to person.
Next come gentleness and convenience. Thirty-two reviews say 'the gentlest clay pack I've tried' or 'I have sensitive skin and it's never caused a flare-up,' and 20 talk about convenience — 'done in 3–5 minutes, so I do it while brushing my teeth or showering.' Nineteen say it feels less tight and less drying even after it dries, and quite a few reviews say people with dry skin use it too.
For sebum and pores, expectations and impressions diverge. Twenty-one reviews give the impression that 'I can see the blackheads and sebum beside my nose are tidier,' while 15 say 'I can't really tell it works' or 'it's not dramatic.' Ten mention irritation — the granules stinging when rinsing or a hot feeling above the lip — and most ★2–3 reviews fall into one of these two (weak perceived effect or granule irritation).
These are counts taken directly only from reviews, out of the 100 read, whose wording was clearly legible. Reviews where the same text was posted repeatedly were counted only once. If anything, we undercounted rather than inflated — it's a minimum.

Expressions found in the reviews read (original tone kept, not rewritten)
Strengths reviewers kept mentioning
- Texture and flakes cleared — the most-mentioned pointThe most frequently mentioned point (37 reviews). People say gently rolling the mung bean granules while rinsing clears flakes and leaves skin texture smooth and soft. Mentions of makeup going on well the next day come up alongside.
- Gentle for a clay packThirty-two reviews say 'the gentlest of the pore clay packs I've tried' or 'I have sensitive skin and had no breakouts.' Some also felt it was gentler because there's no tingly cooling sensation.
- 3–5 minute wash-off — even when busyTwenty reviews mention the convenience of rinsing it off in 3–5 minutes, unlike packs that take 10–20 minutes. Stories of leaving it on while brushing teeth, showering, or washing hair recur.
- Less tight even after dryingNineteen reviews say that because the texture doesn't harden, it's less drying and less tight than other wash-off packs. Some with dry and very dry skin were satisfied too.
Downsides (mentioned repeatedly)
- Granule irritation — stinging when rinsingTen reviews say the granules are bigger than expected so rubbing stings, or the area above the lip turned red and felt hot. Advice is attached that rinsing with plenty of water as if dissolving it makes it milder.
- Perceived effect is splitFifteen reviews say 'I can't really tell it works,' 'it's not dramatic,' or 'it's back to normal the next day.' This is the reason behind many ★2–3 reviews. If you expect big changes in pores and sebum, you may be disappointed.
- Rinsing off is a hassleSome say that because the formula doesn't fully dry, it clings to the skin and needed several rinses. Comments that it's harder the thicker you apply it recur.
- Size and price are a letdownA few mention the amount is small for the price, and many say they bought it on sale. A few also say skin felt dry after rinsing so they had to apply moisturizer.
- Based on users' own impressionsTidier sebum, pores, and flakes are users' own impressions and vary by person. We make no efficacy claims.

How to Use beplain Mung Bean Pore Clay Pack 120ml (+12ml×4 Bonus Set)
- The common order in reviews: after cleansing, spread a thin layer, and after 3–5 minutes, rinse by wetting it with lukewarm water several times and gently rolling. Many advise that applying it thickly makes it harder to rinse and clears flakes less well
- If the granules sting, a recurring tip is not to scrub hard but to rinse as if dissolving it with water. Some sensitive-skin reviewers say they cut back to about twice a month
- For dry skin, some advise applying it while skin is still slightly damp, or applying moisturizer right after rinsing
- One tip is that refrigerating it and applying it cold feels refreshing. But some also mention that when cold it clumps and doesn't spread as smoothly
Price & buying tips
- Sets with the 120ml full size plus 12ml×4 minis are common, and some reviews say they keep the minis for travel or a first test
- Some say the amount is a letdown for the price, so many reviews say they bought it during Olive Young sales and discounts. The recurring advice is to check the sale price before buying Check the price on Coupang →

FAQ
Q. How to use the beplain Mung Bean Pack — how many minutes, how many times a week?
After cleansing, spread a thin layer, and after 3–5 minutes, wet it with water and rinse while gently rolling. In reviews, many say they leave it on while brushing their teeth or showering and then rinse, and some left it for over 10 minutes. Once or twice a week was the most common frequency, and people with sensitive skin wrote that they cut back to once every 1–2 weeks or twice a month.
Q. Does it work on pores, sebum, and blackheads?
Twenty-one reviews give the impression that 'I can see the blackheads and sebum beside my nose are tidier.' On the other hand, 15 say 'I can't really tell it works,' 'it's not dramatic,' or 'it's back to normal the next day.' Texture and flake clearing come up more consistently, while impressions of changes in pores and sebum vary widely from person to person. We make no efficacy claims.
Q. Does it sting or irritate?
Many reviews (32) say 'it was the gentlest clay pack,' but 10 say the granules stung when rinsing or the area above the lip turned red. Advice recurs that rinsing as if dissolving it with water, instead of rubbing, makes it milder. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend leaving it on briefly at first and rinsing gently to check how your skin reacts.
Q. Can dry skin use it? Isn't it drying?
Nineteen reviews say it doesn't harden so it's less tight than other wash-off packs, and some with dry and very dry skin were satisfied. That said, some say skin felt dry after rinsing so moisturizer was a must. Many advise applying it while skin is still slightly damp, or layering moisturizer right after rinsing.
Q. What does it smell like?
Some say it has a distinctive nutty mung bean scent, and others say it's close to fragrance-free. Some felt the bean-like scent could be hit-or-miss, but most said it didn't bother them much since it's a pack you rinse off quickly.
Q. Where does it rank among Olive Young sheet mask recommendations?
In the Olive Young JJintem sheet mask tally, the beplain Mung Bean Pack is picked on the wash-off clay pack side rather than among sheet masks. Mentions continue around demand for smoothing texture and clearing flakes, but rankings change depending on when they're tallied.
