beautyofjoseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask 140ml

A mask rooted in a Joseon-era practice: washing the face with red bean powder to refine skin texture. That simple idea — gentle exfoliation, cleaner pores, brighter complexion — lives on today in a creamy 140 ml formula designed not to irritate. The texture surprises you: you expect dry clay, you find something entirely different.

Texture and ingredients — The base is built around Kaolin, a fine clay that absorbs excess sebum and unclogs pores without stripping moisture. It works alongside Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder — the red bean seed powder that inspired the formula — and Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract, its liquid form, for a double dose of the same plant. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Glycerin keep the texture genuinely creamy: the clay does its job while the skin holds onto its moisture barrier. Also present: Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract (pear), Fragaria Chiloensis Fruit Extract (strawberry) and Pyrus Malus Leaf Extract (apple) — three plant extracts listed in the INCI, without any specific claims beyond their inclusion in the formula. The rosy-red colour comes from Ultramarines and Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491), two mineral pigments.

How to use it — Once a week, or whenever your skin needs it. Apply a thick layer to clean, slightly damp skin, leave on for 5 to 10 minutes — long enough to feel that refreshing coolness settle in — then gently massage before rinsing off with lukewarm water. The massage step is part of the treatment itself: that's when the red bean powder works softly on the skin's surface, before the clay is washed away. The 140 ml size gives you several weeks of use at a weekly rhythm.
