It is for normal to dry skin, with trouble (many pore concerns). The moisture level is somewhat present and it applies smoothly and refreshingly, but not excessively(?). In short, it is good to use without feeling burdened. After applying, my skin feels tightened, which is surprising as I haven't experienced this with other cosmetics. It calms the skin and can be used gently without trouble. Makeup applies well and my pores on my nose are not visible, which is surprising. There is a cooling sensation, so it seems particularly good to use in the summer.
ConsThis product's distinctive feature seems to be that there's nothing particularly disappointing about it! When my physical condition was poor, I used it and experienced a breakout, so I had to discontinue use - on sensitive days, it's prohibited to use 🚫 (this may vary depending on the individual's skin type)
TipIn the morning and evening, I apply it for care purposes and later add a moisturizing cream. It's great for everyday use! I carry and use it as a portable item.💕

ConsThe pore tightening effect is still unclear to me (written in the 3rd week of use)
TipIf you have dry skin, use it on the T-zone where pores are large and blemishes often appear, and add a heavier cream to the rest of the face.

Breakouts also appeared, and my skin became hot, which was really upsetting, but after using this product for 2 weeks, the redness and itchiness of my skin have calmed down! Pros: Moisturizing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Skin Soothing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pore Tightening⭐️ Cooling⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The formula is similar to a regular moisturizer, but the tube form makes it more hygienic to use. Moreover, I'm very satisfied that this moisturizer was able to address the heat, itchiness, and redness of my skin. However, I'll have to wait and see if it has a pore-tightening effect.
ConsThere is none. There really is none. I strongly recommend it to those with the same highly sensitive, compromised skin barrier, and heat-sensitive conditions as mine.

Moisturizing and fast-absorbing The moment you apply it, a cool, refreshing sensation spreads through your skin. It finishes with a non-sticky, fresh feel, making it perfect for oily/combination skin. Especially in this weather, with hot days and cool nights, this formula is just right! 2. Gentle soothing effect from green bean extract So far, it has worked well without causing any breakouts. The calming effect on the skin, without any irritation, was truly satisfying. 3. Tightens pores It's true that it's difficult to visibly reduce pores in a short time. But with consistent use, this product makes the skin texture more refined, and the pores appear less prominent. Even when used before makeup, it helps the base apply smoothly and adhere well - I'm very satisfied with that!
ConsIt's best to apply it in small amounts multiple times, as applying too much can cause it to become greasy.
TipAfter applying the lotion or essence, gently pat on a small amount of this cream to finish. This will leave the skin feeling supple and maintain a non-shiny appearance throughout the day.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin type In summer, it's an oily/sebum-prone skin, and in winter, it's a dry/enlarged pores and whitehead-prone skin. I usually pay attention to my pores, so I've been using the Essnature pore ampoule and a moisturizing cream. Recently, the weather suddenly got hotter, and my skin condition changed, so I've been using the Beplain green bean pore serum, which seems more lightweight and refreshing. Luckily, I was selected as a tester for the soothing cream from the same line and have been using it for a week. - Texture It's very lightweight and refreshing, so it's easy to apply on the skin without any burden. The absorption is not bad, and there's little stickiness after application, so it seems to suit oily skin particularly well. - Fragrance It's almost fragrance-free, so even those sensitive to scents can use it without any issues. - Usage There's a cooling sensation when applying, perhaps due to the explanation about it cooling the skin's heat. It seems perfect for using in the hot summer! - Ingredients Beplain is known for its mild ingredients. For oily skin types, it's important to avoid pore-clogging ingredients and not be too greasy, but also not too lightweight to cause dryness - it's a delicate balance. This moisturizing cream has satisfied me in terms of good ingredients and usage experience. I think I'll use this cream like a cooling face mask on my flushed face under the scorching sun and hot weather this summer.
ConsThe soothing sensation may feel slightly irritating on the skin. If you have sensitive skin, this is something to consider. The absorption is there, but it's more of a coated feeling on the skin rather than a completely absorbed sensation. For my oily skin, it seems like a great summer moisturizer, but in the winter, those with dry skin may feel it lacks sufficient hydration. Overall, it could be a decent choice for a summer moisturizer, but keep in mind that it may be a love-it-or-hate-it product depending on your skin type and preferences.
TipIn my case, after doing a sweaty evening workout, I would come back with a lot of heat rising in my face. After washing, I would generously apply Hwahae to my flushed and heated face, using it as a moisturizing pack like applying aloe gel.

I'm sensitive to cosmetic scents, but this cream doesn't bother me at all. ✔️Texture A soothing cream that absorbs smoothly. It's not quite a gel cream, but has a bit of moistness left behind after application. Completely oil-free, this is truly a soothing cream as the name suggests!! ✔️Usage It's marketed as a pore-tightening cream, and I did feel a refreshing sensation on my face after applying it, so I think it is indeed tightening my pores. It seems to help block the pores from opening up due to heat, which is great for someone like me who has a lot of facial heat. The immediate cooling effect is as advertised - I really enjoyed that cooling sensation as someone with a lot of facial heat. There are quite a few soothing creams that leave my skin feeling dry, but the Nokdu Cream manages to keep my skin moisturized without any dryness, so I've been using it a lot lately! I think this will be a go-to cream for me as the summer approaches!!
ConsOn cold days, I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure how it would be in the winter, but I feel like it would be easy to use in the summer. It seems to have a moisturizing finish for dry skin, but oily skin may have a slightly greasy residue.

The tube packaging is hygienic and easy to dispense. As it is a pore-tightening product, there is a cooling sensation. Since I have a tendency towards facial flushing, the cooling effect was pleasant for me.
ConsMy sensitive skin felt a slight sting, possibly due to the cooling sensation. I will continue using it and provide more feedback.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros💟 Spreadability: The formula is dense yet smooth, gliding on the skin effortlessly. It is highly moisturizing, adhering to the skin immediately upon application, and becomes increasingly cooling as you massage it in. 💟 Absorption: It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is no stickiness, and the finish is refreshing, allowing you to comfortably incorporate it into your morning skincare routine. It would be particularly suitable for oily or combination skin types. 💟 Soothing Effect: It helps calm the skin when sebum production is high or there is a sense of heat. When the skin starts to redden just before a breakout, applying this product provides a noticeable soothing effect. [Recommended Skin Types] ✔️ Oily/Combination Skin: Pore management & refreshing finish ✔️ Sensitive Skin: Fragrance-free and gentle on the skin
ConsThe standalone use may be unsatisfactory for dry skin. While it provides sufficient moisture, there is almost no oil content, which may result in a feeling of tightness. For those with dry skin, it is recommended to use it together with an oil or other moisturizing cream. The pore-tightening effect is gradual. There was no immediate sensation of pores being constricted, and it is the type that requires consistent use to see the effects of sebum control and pore refinement.
Tip✅ Use as a moisturizing soothing pack: When skin feels heated, apply a thick layer and let it absorb for 10-15 minutes - it works great as a quick-calming cream pack. ✅ Partial layering: Layering an extra application on T-zone, nose, and chin areas where sebum is more abundant will significantly reduce oiliness. ✅ Essential item for refrigeration: Refrigerating it doubles the cooling effect, so you can use it refreshingly even in the summer. It's a good idea to bring it along when traveling!

Recently, due to excessive dryness, I have been applying various products, and now I have a lot of pustular blemishes and milia. Despite the fact that my skin is very sensitive, surprisingly, when I applied the Nokdu cream, a cooling sensation was created. The application is also smooth like applying a lotion, and after patting it a few times, it is absorbed without dryness or oiliness. Most importantly, whenever I feel stuffy, blemishes immediately appear, so I usually only apply cleansing and cream, and add an ampoule when it's dry. During this usage period, I only applied cleansing and soothing cream, but it was really not dry at all. As soon as I apply it, I can feel the cooling sensation, and the texture itself is not heavy, so the application is good, and I can take care of the moisture, and although I need to use it a little more to know the soothing effect, there were no more emerging blemishes.
ConsIn the short term, there was no effect on pores. As for products that claim to have a pore effect, I have tried many of them (including lasers), but I'm not sure if this alone will be effective. (There may not be anything more than a temporary effect...)
TipLayer it on or refrigerate and apply - it works great!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Beplain Nokdu line, and I'm so glad I could try it out as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer! It really lives up to the hype - the lightweight, refreshing, and moisturizing soothing cream was wonderful. The moment I applied it, it spread smoothly and evenly, and there was no uncomfortable feeling afterwards. In terms of effectiveness, I didn't experience any redness or pore irritation, and it seemed to have a good pore-tightening effect. I started using it during a time when my sebum production was high, and I definitely noticed a decrease in oil and pore visibility. My troublesome T-zone and nose area, which are usually quite oily and have enlarged pores, became more balanced after using the Beplain Nokdu Pore Tightening Soothing Cream. I'm really grateful to have received the full-size product as a review item - I'll definitely repurchase this! Thank you 💚
ConsThere were no disappointments about the product!! From the packaging to the product appearance and efficacy, it was perfect..✨
TipI was very pleased to use the Hwahae line, as it seemed to provide even more moisture and hydration.^ With the approaching summer, I feel confident that my pores will remain tightened and resilient, allowing me to enjoy the summer season.⛱️
