ConsThe mucus formulation was sticky and I'm not sure if it had the characteristic green bean aroma, but the fragrance was really not to my liking and the sebum control was not very effective either. I didn't feel it provided much sebum reduction.

I took my time to try it out, but honestly, I don't think I saw any... effects. Positive: The composition is good...?
ConsThe reasons for not recommending it are: - I'm not sure about the effectiveness. It seems like the method is to wet the accompanying pad and place it, then extract the blackheads that come up, but even though I followed the instructions exactly, I didn't feel like anything was coming up or being extracted at all. - The extraction (?) tool is difficult to use and becomes dull, so it doesn't work well. The top and bottom ends seem to be used a bit differently, but to be honest, when using it on the nose, the curvature and small surface area made it very inconvenient to use.

ConsThe smell is not great. It doesn't seem to be completely removed.

If you leave it on your face for about 10 minutes and then peel it off, there will be a white sebum plug that comes up. I love it so much!
ConsIt's a bit stimulating, so after care it stings a little. And then, after doing that, some skin or peeling starts to come off.

I tried using it for over 30 minutes, but that did seem to cause a bit of irritation, so it's best to only use it for around 20 minutes at a time. I purchased it from Olive Young, and I was pleased that they included a tool for sebum extraction, so I didn't have to buy that separately. Even without using steam, the sebum came out well. Beplain seems to be a brand I can really trust.
ConsThe opaque container makes it difficult to check the remaining product volume, which is inconvenient.

ConsThere are no shortcomings. The only downside is that when used with the included scaler, it can cause irritation and redness, but it's fine if you just adjust the pressure. And since it removes sebum, the enlarged pores become very visible, so you also need to separately care for the pores.

It also comes with a nose + butterfly zone exclusive sheet and a sebum remover, so it was very easy to use. Compared to other sebum softening products, the texture is a little more viscous than a watery one, so when I put the sheet on my nose and applied it, it slowly absorbed in. Thanks to the texture, there was less evaporation, and when I scraped it off with the remover, even though it was thin, the sebum came out well because my skin didn't dry out. Even after removing the sheet, my skin remained moisturized, so the stubborn sebum melted out well. My husband, who had never extracted his sebum before, also tried it, and the white, melted sebum came out in abundance... The feeling of satisfaction from scraping it out was amazing ㅋㅋ My husband, who used to have a lot of blackheads, now has a smooth, pore-free nose. After rinsing with cold water, doing skincare, and waking up, my face felt incredibly soft during the morning cleansing, and he said my complexion looked brighter ㅋㅋ Now that I've seen how smooth and clean my nose can be, although doing it regularly is a bit of a hassle, when I do it, my husband also asks me to do it for him, so I plan to diligently manage our sebum together throughout the summer^^
ConsIf you have sensitive skin, leaving the product on for longer than the recommended time can cause dryness and lead to increased peeling. I found that leaving it on my chin area a bit longer than recommended resulted in the skin around the corners of my mouth becoming slightly irritated the next afternoon. As long as you use it as directed, there shouldn't be any issues. This is just my personal experience as someone with very sensitive skin who tried experimenting with it - please take it as a reference only. :)

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.ProsI used to work as a Hwahae at Olive Young. Pore-related products started with pore packs about 10 years ago, and as people's interest increased, various products were released. There are physical removal products such as pore packs, peel-off packs, and scrubs, and chemical dissolving products such as pack cleansers, melting pore packs, and sebum softeners. ✅ I also used various products, and as a Hwahae, I was able to see which products were generally more preferred. However, it seems that there is no product that works well for everyone. ✅ But... I finally found the light🥹 If I work at Olive Young again, I will definitely recommend this to those who have sebum concerns. 💚 Texture / Usage / Effectiveness ✨ - The texture is transparent and watery, just as the name 'Scaling Water' suggests. However, it is very slippery, so you need to wipe it off well. Washing your face is a must after using it! - The effectiveness? Even if everything else is satisfactory, if there is no effect, you won't continue using it. I often have whiteheads popping up, especially after washing my face, and there are also stubborn whiteheads under my chin that never go away. Whenever that happened, I couldn't see any effects from other products, so I kept using a pore extraction tool. But I didn't like how it was widening my pores, so I recently started using a micro-tweezers to extract them like at the dermatologist's office. That was the least irritating. But that also has its limitations. There are many small heads that are difficult to grab... But just use this... I may be praising it too much, making it unbelievable, but just give it a try... The sebum slowly comes up, and by using a scaling tool to gently push and press it, it can be extracted without any irritation. Once the visible sebum is greatly reduced, that state can last for more than a week. Of course, individual differences will vary greatly! But I felt that it really removes it effectively. 💚 Irritation / Sensitive Skin Usage ✨Another major advantage of this product, in my opinion, is the lack of irritation. Since sebum softeners involve chemical action and scaling tools involve physical stimulation, the dual stimulation can easily make the skin sensitive. But... I really didn't feel any irritation at all. Whenever I used products of any type, my skin barrier would get compromised, causing my nose to feel irritated and itchy. But there was absolutely none of that!!!!!!! I think the slippery texture of the product itself, in addition to the sebum softening ingredients, plays a role in this. 💚 Usage Process / Convenience ✨ - The product has an integrated lid that just needs to be turned 90 degrees to open and close. If the lid was detachable, I would have to set it aside somewhere, and the slippery sebum softener could get messy. But with this design, I don't have that issue. - It's a bottle type, not a pump or stick, so the amount that comes out is just right and not too much.
Cons🥹 I wish such a thing existed 💦 Rather than being disappointing, it's a hopeful wish! I hope they sell the dedicated makeup remover pads separately on a platform where they're easy to purchase! The shape is really nice and it's great that it's non-irritating. 🥹 The inconvenience of the wide scaler area 💦 It's hard to say the oil removal is that effective It can only be used gently to collect the oil The shape makes it awkward to press down firmly It seems they made it this way intentionally to minimize irritation..! So I end up using just the extruder part most of the time
TipHere are some honey tips! 🍯🐝 It's good to use cotton pads. - Since the complimentary cotton pads in the cosmetic sets are so nice, if you've used them all up, I recommend trying the Hwahae 1/2 cotton pads or Milly skincare cotton pads. The cotton pads from Daiso have a bit of irritation, so I wouldn't recommend those. (I realized the ones I was using before were just average after trying the Daiso ones...) When using the scaling tool (the silver rod): - Don't press too hard with the wide side, just gently push it. The stubborn and embedded ones can be easily removed by lightly pressing with the opposite side. You don't need to use a lot of force or squish your nose - just do it carefully for a clean nose! 😆

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFor about a week, I used it twice, and my skin type is dry. The formula The formula was a thin, watery type, so it absorbed quickly and could be used comfortably. It could be wiped off lightly without any stickiness, so it was good to use daily without burden. The included cotton pads were generous in quantity, making it hygienic and convenient to use. User experience Since I don't have many troubles or sebum concerns as a dry-skinned person, I couldn't really feel a significant effect, but I liked that I could use it gently without irritation. I also tested it on my oily-skinned younger sibling and boyfriend, and it was able to clean up the sebum on their noses without much irritation, and there was a noticeable smoothing effect on their skin after the skincare routine.
ConsThose with very sensitive skin should use the scaler with a light hand, and those with naturally high sebum levels are more likely to see dramatic sebum extraction. This is just a daily skincare product.
TipAfter cleansing, gently place a cotton pad dampened with water on oily areas such as the nose or chin, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before wiping it off. This will help to gently remove excess sebum. Following this, I recommend using a cooling toner or a soothing hydrating product, which will allow you to manage your pores without irritation.

Skincare expert Beplain and 720,000 YouTuber Soyoon developed the 'Nokdu Fermented Vinegar' using a 6-month development period to create the Beplain Nokdu Pore Scaling Water, which can clear sebum, dead skin, and blackheads all at once, a product that I really wanted to try. * My skin type I have an oily skin type with serious T-zone sebum, and clogged blackhead pores that are tightly packed. * How to use - Soak the enclosed cotton pad, designed to fit the contours of the face like the nose, chin, forehead, and cheek area, apply it to the problem areas, let it soak for 10-15 minutes, then use the sebum scaler to gently remove it, and rinse with lukewarm water. It was really easy and convenient to use. Comfort is the best! * Review Even for my sensitive, easily irritated skin, I was able to use it with confidence. The uneven texture and bumps were smoothly removed without any pain. After use, my skin felt soft and supple, and the sebum removal was definitely effective. I could clearly see the difference visually. * Ingredients and scent It has a watery viscosity and an almost odorless scent, like pure water. After use, you can feel the abundant moisture from the various extracts like apple and grape.
ConsThe use of the scaler can be a bit clumsy, so it's essential to control the force to avoid skin irritation.
TipAfter gently steaming the face with a warm damp towel to open the pores, the feeling is that sebum removal is more effective.
