Product Description
Inspired by a centuries-old Joseon Dynasty skincare ritual — where women ground red beans and mung beans together to wash and refine their skin — Beauty of Joseon presents the Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask, a deeply purifying yet moisture-preserving wash-off mask that brings this ancient wisdom into modern skincare. At the core of the formula lies 30% Haenam Red Bean Extract, sourced from the red bean-growing region of Haenam, Korea, rich in natural saponins that gently exfoliate the skin surface while balancing oil and moisture levels. Combined with Kaolin and Hectorite clays, the mask effectively draws out excess sebum, unclogs pores, and sweeps away accumulated dead skin cells and impurities — all without the uncomfortable dryness or tight, stripped sensation that typical clay masks leave behind. Unlike conventional mud masks that harden and dry on the skin, this formula maintains a moist, creamy texture throughout application, generating a refreshing cooling sensation that soothes the skin while it works. The result is visibly refined pores, a smoother and brighter complexion, and skin that feels soft, balanced, and thoroughly refreshed. Vegan, cruelty-free, and free from artificial fragrance and essential oils, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
Key Features
The hero ingredient, Haenam Red Bean Extract at 30%, has been cherished in Korean skincare for generations. Red beans are naturally rich in saponins — plant-derived compounds with mild foaming and exfoliating properties that gently lift dead skin cells and surface impurities without abrasion, while simultaneously helping to regulate the skin's oil and moisture balance. Visible flecks of Red Bean Seed Powder (Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder) in the formula provide a gentle physical exfoliation effect, buffing away rough texture to reveal a smoother, more refined surface. Kaolin, one of the world's most trusted cosmetic clays, absorbs excess sebum and surface debris with remarkable efficiency while remaining gentle enough for daily and sensitive skin use. Hectorite clay works alongside Kaolin to further enhance the mask's purifying performance. Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Leaf Extract, and Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract add antioxidant, brightening, and skin-soothing benefits to the formula, promoting a healthier, more luminous complexion after each use. Glycerin and Cetyl Alcohol ensure the formula retains a moist, creamy texture rather than drying out on the skin, preventing the tight, uncomfortable feeling common to many clay masks. Clinically tested: 100% of subjects reported satisfaction with the brightening effect; verified improvement in pore area and pore depth after two weeks of use, as confirmed by Korea Dermatology Research Institute.
How to Use
After cleansing, apply an even, generous layer to dry skin, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. The mask will maintain its moist texture throughout — do not wait for it to fully dry. Gently massage with lukewarm water using circular motions to activate the exfoliating red bean powder, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with toner and the rest of your skincare routine. For best results, use once or twice a week as a weekly skin reset treatment. Pairs beautifully with Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Moisture Water Gel as a post-mask hydration step.
