First of all, the cream doesn't feel heavy. I didn't have any trouble at all. It was fine even for my relatively sensitive skin. However, I had previously used the Essenature Squalane Cream, and the usage feel is somewhat similar. It provides adequate moisture, has less oiliness, applies smoothly, and has a nice, bouncy finish. Both products are promoted as Hwahae creams. The difference from Essenature is that there seems to be a cooling sensation. The finish isn't exactly the same, but the mild cooling sensation when applying is nice. I've also used it before makeup, and it forms a good moisturizing layer without any pilling, which is great for my dry skin.
ConsThe cooling effect does not seem to tighten the pores as expected. Even I and my boyfriend, who have enlarged pores, blackheads, and oily skin, did not feel the cooling effect as much as we had hoped. While applying other basic skincare products does provide a slight cooling sensation, it is not as refreshing and cooling as we had anticipated. Of course, we understand that creams cannot provide the same level of cooling as other methods, but we felt that the cooling effect was significantly lacking compared to creams that can at least help reduce facial heat. While the products may not provide a strong cooling effect, they do help prevent the pores from becoming overly enlarged through a tightening effect. It is best not to expect the products to tighten or shrink the pores through cooling alone.

The cooling sensation was just right and not too stimulating. Beplain always has good ingredients. It's slightly tacky but has good spreadability.
Cons⚠ A slight oily feeling is noticeable, so it is recommended to apply the product thinly for those with oily skin. ⚠ The effect on improving pores is minimal. ⚠ The effect on sebum control is not noticeable.
TipIt's better to think of it as a soothing gel rather than a pore cream and use it that way.

After application, the skin feels plump and hydrated, and after some time, a very mild cooling sensation is noticeable. (I only noticed this after using it for about 5 days...😅) 🔸️Fragrance The fragrance is very mild, so you can use it without any strong likes or dislikes. When I purposely tried to smell it to write the review, I detected a slightly sweet, almost like children's toothpaste-like scent! But during regular use, the fragrance is not noticeable at all. 🔸️Lightweight As a combination skin type with oily T-zone, it seems to have an effective sebum control, as my skin gets less oily compared to when I use other moisturizing creams. It's not 100% satisfactory, but it seems usable to this extent.
Cons🔹️Pore Tightening Effect? Since I haven't used it for a long time, I'm not sure, but I didn't really feel any noticeable pore tightening effect. There hasn't been a dramatic visible improvement yet. 🤔 🔹️Weak Moisturizing Power When Used Alone When I only used the soothing cream before bed, my skin felt quite dry, and a lot of flakiness came up. You definitely need to use it with other basic skincare products like toners and essences! It might be great for summer, but I'm not sure if it would be hydrating enough for the harsh winter...! During use, I also noticed small breakouts gradually appearing, so the oil-water balance didn't seem quite right for me. Overall, it was a very ambiguous product for me.

It has no oily feel, only a moisturizing sensation, and it absorbs quickly while keeping the skin supple. The fragrance is also not offensive, and the usage experience is comfortable, making it a hassle-free product that I reach for often. It feels quite cooling due to the moisturizing effect. It's better suited for summer than transitional weather. Keeping it in the refrigerator and using it seems like a good idea.
ConsThe formula is too lightweight, making it difficult to use even for combination skin in cold weather. Using it alone cannot properly balance oil and moisture. In autumn, it would likely need to be mixed with another cream. I couldn't tell at all about its exfoliating or pore-tightening abilities... It seems a bit over-advertised. The formula is extremely lightweight and dissipates quickly, and the price is a bit high considering the volume.
