Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask

After cleansing, apply a thick, even layer of the mask to clean, damp skin across the entire face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.

Leave on for 5–10 minutes.

Gently massage the mask in circular motions with damp fingertips before rinsing to take advantage of the Red Bean Powder's exfoliating action.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pat skin dry and continue with the rest of your skincare routine: toner, essence, serum, and moisturiser.

Use once a week, or as needed whenever the skin feels congested, oily, or in need of a pore-clearing treatment.

Pro Tips:

• For maximum pore-refining and sebum-absorbing benefits, follow immediately with the Red Bean Water Gel as your moisturiser — both products share the same hero ingredient and work synergistically to control sebum and keep pores clear throughout the day.
• Apply to damp skin rather than completely dry skin for a smoother, more even application and a more comfortable removal.
• When rinsing, use gentle massaging circular motions with damp fingertips before washing away fully — this activates the gentle exfoliating action of the Red Bean Powder and helps clear away any remaining congestion from the surface of the pores.
• Can be used as a spot treatment on particularly congested or oily areas such as the T-zone, nose, and chin — apply a thicker layer to these areas and rinse the rest of the face first before focusing on these zones.

Red Bean Powder — Gentle Exfoliation Rooted in Korean Tradition — Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder (Red Bean Powder) is the hero ingredient, providing gentle physical exfoliation that sweeps away dead skin cells, surface impurities, and excess sebum build-up. Red bean has been used in Korean beauty rituals since the Joseon Dynasty for its natural cleansing, oil-absorbing, and skin-refining properties. You may notice fine dark particles in the mask — this is the natural red bean powder, which is completely normal and central to the mask's gentle exfoliating action.

Kaolin Clay — Pore Purification Without Dryness — Kaolin Clay absorbs excess sebum and draws out congestion and impurities from within the pores, helping to visibly minimise their appearance and keep skin looking clear and refreshed. Unlike harsher clays, the kaolin base of this formula is blended into a creamy, emollient texture that purifies without stripping essential moisture — leaving skin soft, not tight.

Red Bean Extract — Brightening and Soothing — Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract provides the additional skin-brightening, soothing, and oil-balancing benefits of red bean in its liquid extract form, working in tandem with the physical powder to support an even, clarified complexion and maintain the skin's optimal oil-moisture balance.

Non-Drying, Creamy Clay Formula — The formula is built on a creamy, emollient base of Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, and Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate (derived from olive oil). These ingredients ensure the mask nourishes and protects the skin's moisture barrier throughout the treatment, so there is no uncomfortable tightness or dryness after rinsing — just clean, soft, balanced skin.

Soothing Botanical Extracts — Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract, and Pyrus Malus (Apple) Leaf Extract provide soothing, calming, and antioxidant benefits to the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of redness and support an even, healthy-looking complexion.

Clinically Proven Pore Improvement — In a clinical study conducted by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute on 21 subjects over two weeks, the Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask was proven to improve the maximum depth value of pores by 14.66%. 100% of participants reported that their pores appeared reduced and less noticeable, and 100% were satisfied with the brightening effect. The formula was also independently proven to be non-irritating in a 24-hour Human Repeated Insult Patch Test conducted on 51 subjects.

Immediate and Cumulative Results — The pore-clarifying and skin-softening effects are visible immediately from the first use, with the skin feeling noticeably smoother and looking more refined right after rinsing. With consistent weekly use, the pore-minimising and brightening benefits continue to improve over time.

Especially recommended for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, and for anyone targeting enlarged, congested, or clogged pores. Also suitable for normal skin and for those looking for a gentle, non-stripping weekly exfoliating treatment. The creamy, non-drying base makes this mask accessible for a wider range of skin types than traditional clay masks. Pregnancy safe

Q: Which skin types should use this mask?
The Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask is particularly recommended for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, and for anyone concerned about enlarged or congested pores. Its creamy, non-drying formula also makes it suitable for normal skin types who want a gentle weekly exfoliating and pore-clarifying treatment. It is pregnancy safe.

Q: What is the dark powder I can see in the mask?
The dark particles visible in the formula are natural Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder — Red Bean Powder — the hero ingredient of this mask. This is completely normal and expected. The red bean powder is what gives the mask its gentle physical exfoliating action, helping to sweep away dead skin cells and absorb excess sebum as the mask is massaged and rinsed away.

Q: How long do I leave this mask on?
Apply the mask for 5–10 minutes. Unlike some clay masks that are left on until completely dry, this mask is designed to be removed while still creamy — this is intentional to prevent the uncomfortable over-drying effect that traditional clay masks can cause. Once removed, the skin should feel clean and refreshed, not tight or stripped.

Q: How often should I use this mask?
Use once a week as a regular pore-care treatment, or whenever the skin feels congested, oily, or in need of a clarifying boost. Those with particularly oily or acne-prone skin may find they can use it twice a week if the skin tolerates it comfortably.

Q: Will this mask dry out my skin?
No. This mask is specifically formulated to be non-drying. The creamy base — including Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, and olive-derived Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate — ensures that the kaolin clay purifies the pores without drawing moisture from the skin or compromising the skin's natural barrier function. After rinsing, skin should feel soft and balanced, not tight or uncomfortable.

Q: Is there a fragrance in this mask?
No. The Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask is completely fragrance-free. It contains no added synthetic perfumes or scented ingredients.

Q: Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes. This mask is listed as pregnancy safe. As always, if you have any concerns during pregnancy, consult your primary care doctor or midwife before introducing new skincare products.
