A creamy, wash-off mask inspired by traditional Korean beauty rituals. It uses natural Rice Bran and Honey to gently buff away dead skin cells, absorb excess oil, and deeply nourish the skin. Ideal for tackling the dullness caused by Mauritius' high UV and humidity, it leaves your complexion feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and visibly brighter without irritation.

If your skin feels rough, looks dull, or has an uneven texture, this mask is a perfect weekly treat. It offers a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate without the harshness of traditional scrubs.

• Texture: Thick, creamy, and soft paste with fine, non-abrasive rice particles.
• Primary Benefit: Instantly softens and smooths skin, enhances glow, and clarifies pores.
• Who it's for: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin looking for gentle physical exfoliation.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week for an instant boost.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT — On a dry face, apply an even layer. Relax for 10 minutes, then gently massage with lukewarm water and rinse thoroughly.
3. Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM) — Follow with your usual moisturiser to lock in hydration and protect your newly smoothed skin.

Note: Already own a scrub or exfoliating mask? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

• Frequency: Start with once a week. If your skin is not overly sensitive, you can increase to twice a week. Use in the evening is often preferred.
• Amount: Use the provided spatula to scoop a grape-sized amount.
• Apply to: A clean, dry face. Spread an even layer, avoiding the immediate eye and mouth areas.
• Method:
  1. Let the mask sit for 5-10 minutes. It will not dry hard like a typical clay mask.
  2. Wet your fingertips with lukewarm water and gently massage your face in circular motions for about 1 minute to allow the rice grains to exfoliate the skin.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains.
• Safety: Do not rub harshly, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Let the fine particles do the work gently. Avoid using on the same day as other strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA or retinol).

This mask is a treatment, not a daily step. Fit it into your week to complement other products without causing irritation.

Example Week (PM focus):

• Mon: Gentle Routine (Cleanser, Hydrating Serum, Moisturiser)
• Tue: THIS PRODUCT (Cleanse → Mask → Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser)
• Wed: Active Night (e.g., Retinoid), no other exfoliants
• Thu: Gentle Routine
• Fri: Gentle Routine
• Sat: THIS PRODUCT (if needed, or a hydrating sheet mask instead)
• Sun: Active Night (e.g., Chemical Exfoliant like AHA/BHA)

Rule: Do not use this mask on the same night as a strong chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) or a retinoid. Give your skin a day's break in between to prevent over-exfoliation.

• Immediate: Skin feels exceptionally soft, smooth, and clean right after rinsing. Any surface dryness or flakiness is visibly reduced. There's often an immediate, subtle glow.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent weekly use, you may notice a more refined skin texture and a brighter overall complexion. Pores may appear clearer and less congested.
• 4–8+ weeks: Continued use helps maintain a smooth canvas, allowing other skincare products like serums to absorb more effectively. It contributes to a consistently radiant and even-toned appearance.

• Why this, not harsh scrubs? Many common facial scrubs use large, jagged particles (like crushed shells or sugar crystals) that can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and worsening hyperpigmentation. This mask uses fine, smooth rice hull powder, providing effective physical exfoliation without damaging the skin barrier.
• Why this, not DIY honey masks? While honey is a great natural ingredient, DIY masks can be inconsistent and messy. This professionally formulated mask combines 5% honey with purifying kaolin clay and brightening rice extracts in a stable, easy-to-use base for reliable results.

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients. Follow this mask with a hydrating toner (like I'm From Rice Toner), a snail mucin essence, or a ceramide-rich moisturiser to replenish and calm the skin.
• Use Carefully With: Other exfoliants. Avoid using this mask on the same day as other physical scrubs, high-concentration AHA/BHA serums, or retinoids to prevent irritation and barrier damage.
• Avoid On: Broken or irritated skin, active inflammatory acne lesions, or sunburned skin.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. The Kaolin clay helps absorb excess sebum and clarify pores in the T-zone without stripping the skin.
• Dry / Dehydrated: Very suitable. The honey and glycerin provide hydration, while the gentle exfoliation removes dry, flaky patches, allowing moisturisers to penetrate better.
• Sensitive: Generally well-tolerated due to its gentle particles and soothing honey. However, as with any physical exfoliant, a patch test is advised. Those with very reactive skin should massage very lightly or skip the massage step altogether.
• Acne-Prone: Good for managing clogged pores and uneven texture. The honey offers antibacterial properties. Avoid rubbing vigorously over active, inflamed pimples.

• Dull, lackluster skin
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Clogged pores and blackheads
• Flaky patches from dryness
• Excess sebum

• Issue: The mask feels a bit difficult to rinse off.
  Quick Fix: Use plenty of lukewarm water and gently splash your face. You can also use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away the residue without rubbing.

This mask is well-suited for the Mauritian climate. In the hot and humid summer, its kaolin clay content helps manage the extra sebum and sweat that can lead to clogged pores. In the slightly drier winter or in air-conditioned environments, the honey and glycerin provide necessary hydration to prevent tightness and flaking. Use it once or twice a week in the evening to reset your skin after exposure to sun, pollution, and humidity.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our products, including this mask, are sourced directly from the official brand or authorized distributors in South Korea.

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle, not paid endorsements. Individual results will vary.

• "I have normal to dry skin and have been using this once a week for almost a year now. It does give you an instant glow after, and even a better glow in the morning." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2025-09)
• A user with combination, sensitive skin praised it as their favorite mask ever, noting: "It makes my skin feel both clean (from gentle physical exfoliation and the sebum control) but also hydrated... It's not overwhelming... and it's not drying, like clay masks usually are." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2025-03)
• "My skin felt smooth and soft afterwards. The smell is also great! It gives an 'instant' glow which I guess is common for any mask. It's a 'nice to have' product, but not a must have." - Paraphrased from a Reddit review (2025-09)
• Fair Caveat: Some users with highly sensitive skin reported a burning or itching sensation. "The second time I used it when my skin was a bit more sensitive due to a breakout my face started burning so bad. Now I'm scared to use it again." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty comment (2025-09). This highlights the importance of patch testing and avoiding use on compromised skin.

Beauty of Joseon is a beloved Korean skincare brand that reinterprets the timeless beauty wisdom from the Joseon Dynasty for modern times. Their philosophy is rooted in 'Hanbang' (traditional Korean herbal medicine), creating gentle yet effective formulas that focus on improving the skin's fundamental health. They combine luxurious, time-tested ingredients like ginseng, rice water, and honey with modern science to promote a clear, radiant, and balanced complexion.

• Hanbang: Traditional Korean herbal medicine, which uses a holistic approach and natural ingredients to promote health and beauty.
• Kaolin: A naturally occurring soft clay mineral that is excellent for absorbing oil and impurities from the skin without being overly drying.
• Humectant: An ingredient that attracts water molecules from the air and draws them into the skin's surface, helping to keep it hydrated. Honey and Glycerin are classic examples.
• PAO (Period After Opening): A symbol on cosmetic packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months the product will remain stable and effective after it has been opened for the first time.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only the best, most effective, and authentic K-beauty products.

We guarantee that every product is 100% authentic, sourced directly from official channels, so you can shop with complete peace of mind.

Is this mask suitable for sensitive skin?

It is designed to be gentle. However, it is a physical exfoliant. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend massaging very lightly, or not at all, and using it only once a week. Always perform a patch test first.

How is this different from the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Pore Mask?

The Ground Rice & Honey mask focuses on brightening and softening texture with gentle exfoliation and hydration. The Red Bean Pore Mask is more targeted at clearing out pores and managing excess sebum, using red bean powder which provides a slightly more noticeable exfoliating sensation.

Can I use this if I have acne?

Yes, it can be beneficial for managing clogged pores. The honey has natural antibacterial properties. Just be careful not to scrub hard over active, inflamed pimples as this could cause irritation.

• Best For: Anyone seeking an instant boost of softness and radiance, especially those with dull, textured, or combination skin.
• Key Benefits: Gently exfoliates, clarifies pores without drying, deeply hydrates, and leaves skin with a visible glow.
• Keep in Mind: It is a physical exfoliant, so sensitive skin types must use gentle pressure. It is not a vegan product due to the honey content.

• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days; usually ready by Day 3 for pickup by our delivery partners/regional team. Partner collection can take up to 1 week. After pickup, delivery typically takes 1–5 business days (weekdays only).
