If you're looking for a way to manage shine and achieve a smoother complexion, this mask is your perfect weekly treat.

• What it is: A soft, moisturizing clay mask that doesn't dry hard or strip the skin.
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, and normal skin types. Suitable for sensitive skin, but a patch test is always recommended.
• Key Ingredients: Haenam Red Bean Extract (30%) and Kaolin Clay.
• What it does: Effectively absorbs excess oil, gently exfoliates dead skin cells with fine red bean powder, and helps clear pores to improve skin texture.
• Scent & Texture: A creamy, soft mud texture with a very faint, natural scent. It is fragrance-free.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week for the best results.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face.
2. Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Spread an even layer, avoiding eyes and mouth. Leave on for 5-10 minutes.
3. Rinse & Moisturise: Gently massage with lukewarm water as you rinse. Follow up with your favorite toner and moisturiser to lock in hydration.

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

Weekly Use (1-2 times per week, preferably PM):

• Amount: Use the included spatula to scoop out enough product to cover your face in an even, opaque layer.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed, dry skin. Avoid the immediate eye and mouth areas.
• Method: After 5-10 minutes, add a little lukewarm water and gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas with texture or clogged pores like the T-zone. This allows the red bean powder to provide mild physical exfoliation. Rinse thoroughly.
• Frequency: Start with once a week. If your skin is oily and tolerates it well, you can increase to twice a week.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have very oily skin: You can use this mask twice a week to help manage sebum and keep pores clear.
• If you have combination skin: Apply the mask primarily to your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) where you experience the most oiliness.
• If you have dry or sensitive skin: Use the mask for a shorter duration (around 5 minutes) and follow up immediately with a hydrating toner and a rich moisturiser.

Watchouts: While this mask is gentle, avoid vigorous scrubbing when rinsing to prevent irritation. A slight cooling sensation is normal, but if you experience any burning, rinse it off immediately.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Teens can use this for managing oiliness, but it should be part of a simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.

This mask is a treatment step, best used 1-2 times per week on nights when you are not using other strong exfoliants like high-concentration acids or retinoids.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: Gentle Routine (Cleanse, Hydrate, Moisturise)
• Tue: Active Night (e.g., Retinoid or AHA/BHA serum)
• Wed: Red Bean Mask Night (Cleanse → THIS MASK → Rinse → Hydrate → Moisturise)
• Thu: Gentle Routine
• Fri: Active Night (e.g., Retinoid or AHA/BHA serum)
• Sat: Gentle Routine
• Sun: Red Bean Mask Night (or a hydrating sleeping pack)

Rule: Use this mask to gently exfoliate and purify. On the same night, focus your other steps on hydration and soothing. Avoid using it immediately after a strong chemical peel or on sunburnt skin.

• Immediately: After rinsing, skin feels remarkably soft, smooth, and looks less shiny. Pores may appear temporarily tighter and cleaner.
• After 2-4 Weeks (1-2 uses per week): You may notice a reduction in blackheads and less overall congestion. Skin texture feels more refined.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, sebum production may feel more balanced, and the overall clarity and smoothness of your skin are noticeably improved.

Why use THIS gentle clay mask, not a harsh facial scrub?

Many scrubs use jagged particles like crushed nut shells or sugar crystals that can cause micro-tears in the skin. This kind of damage can weaken your skin barrier and lead to inflammation, redness, and even more dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), especially in our sunny climate. This mask uses fine Red Bean powder and soft Kaolin clay to gently buff away dead skin cells during the rinse-off phase, giving you a smooth finish without the damage.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica or Green Tea. Following the mask with these ingredients helps to instantly replenish moisture.
• Use Carefully With: Strong retinoids and high-concentration AHAs/BHAs. It's best to use this mask on a different night to avoid over-exfoliating and potentially irritating your skin.
• Avoid On: Broken, wounded, or sunburnt skin.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Perfectly suited to absorb excess sebum and refine the appearance of pores.
• Combination Skin: Highly recommended. Can be used all over or targeted on the T-zone.
• Normal Skin: Great for a weekly deep cleanse to maintain skin clarity and smoothness.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. Best for short-contact use (5 minutes) on specific areas of congestion. Always follow with a rich, nourishing moisturiser.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally gentle and well-tolerated due to its non-drying formula. However, a patch test is always advised before first use.

Key Actives Explained:

• Haenam Red Bean (Phaseolus Angularis) Seed Extract (30%): A beloved ingredient in Korean history for skincare. The rich saponins in red beans help absorb excess sebum and act as a natural, gentle exfoliant to help smooth skin texture.
• Kaolin Clay: A gentle clay that effectively absorbs excess oil and impurities from the pores, helping to minimize their appearance without being as harsh or drying as other clays like Bentonite. It's an excellent choice for maintaining clear skin in humid weather.

Full INCI List:

Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract, Glycerin, Kaolin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder, Hectorite, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Olivate, Ultramarines, Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Water, Polyisobutene, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Leaf Extract, Fragaria Chiloensis (Strawberry) Fruit Extract, CI 77491, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sorbitan Oleate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane.

Formulated Without: Artificial fragrance, essential oils, parabens, sulfates.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It has a very faint, natural, and slightly earthy scent derived from its core ingredients. Intensity: 0.5/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

Who should use it: This mask is suitable for most skin types, particularly those concerned with oiliness and pores.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very dry or highly sensitive skin should limit use to shorter durations or on targeted areas.

Patch Test Protocol: Before using for the first time, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any significant redness, itching, or burning, do not use the product. Discontinue use if irritation occurs during application.

• Texture & Finish: A soft, creamy, and moist clay texture. Unlike many traditional clay masks, it does not dry down to a hard, tight finish. It remains comfortable on the skin and rinses off easily.
• Scent: Almost no scent, with a very subtle natural earthiness from the clay and beans.
• pH: The pH is not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients that may not be suitable for those with fungal acne (Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Oleate). Individual responses can vary; patch testing is advised.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit tight after use.
  Solution: You might be leaving the mask on for too long or have naturally drier skin. Reduce the application time to 5 minutes and make sure to apply a hydrating toner and moisturiser immediately after rinsing.
• Issue: The exfoliation feels too mild/strong.
  Solution: The exfoliating effect comes from massaging during rinse-off. For a gentler effect, simply rinse without massaging. For a bit more exfoliation, focus your gentle massage on problem areas for about 30 seconds.
• Issue: I'm not seeing a difference in my pores after one use.
  Solution: Pore size is largely genetic, and no product can permanently shrink them. This mask works by clearing out sebum and debris, which makes pores *appear* smaller and more refined. Consistent weekly use is key to maintaining these results.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: Use it 1-2 times a week to effectively manage the increased oil and sweat production that can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. The cooling sensation provides a refreshing feel on warm evenings.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: If your skin feels drier due to winter air or constant air-conditioning, you may want to reduce use to once a week and focus the application on your T-zone. Always follow with a good moisturiser.

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

The claims for this product are based on established ingredient rationale and historical evidence of use.

• Ingredient Rationale: Red Bean (Phaseolus angularis) has been used in traditional Korean herbal medicine (Hanbang) for centuries for skincare. Historical texts note its use by women of the Joseon Dynasty to achieve clear skin. Modern analysis shows it is rich in saponins, which have natural cleansing and sebum-absorbing properties.
• Ingredient Rationale: Kaolin clay is one of the mildest cosmetic clays. Its porous structure allows it to absorb excess sebum and impurities from the skin's surface. Unlike stronger clays like bentonite, it does so without severely stripping the skin of its natural oils, making it suitable for a wider range of skin types.

• Size: 140ml
• Estimated Uses: A typical application requires about 5-7ml. This jar should provide approximately 20-28 applications.
• Reorder Cadence:
  • Using once a week: The product will last about 5-7 months.
  • Using twice a week: The product will last about 2.5-3.5 months. Reorder when you have about a quarter of the jar left.

Here’s what real users are saying (aggregated sentiment, not a guarantee of results):

• "I'm always weary of products breaking me out... This product is by far the best I have tried. It's helped reduce skin texture and combats my oily skin. It hasn't irritated my skin at all..." — Paraphrased from a Boots customer review (2024)
• "I love how exfoliating and comfortable this mask is. It doesn't dry out my skin, nor does it ever really 'dry' on my skin. It feels really good after washing off but it also helps oil production. I use this before putting makeup on sometimes and I've noticed a massive difference..." — Paraphrased from an Adore Beauty customer review (2024)
• A Fair Caveat: "Not that great. I have not noticed a massive difference after using this mask." — Karo, Boots customer review (2023). Some users with less oily skin or fewer pore concerns may find the results more subtle.

Beauty of Joseon is a beloved Korean skincare brand that draws inspiration from the beauty rituals of women from the Joseon Dynasty. Their philosophy is to reinterpret these timeless, traditional methods using modern, effective ingredients. They focus on using Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) ingredients like Ginseng, Rice, and Red Bean to create gentle yet powerful formulas that improve the skin's overall health and bring out its natural glow.

• Hanbang: Traditional Korean herbal medicine, which uses a holistic approach and natural ingredients to promote health and beauty.
• Kaolin: A very mild and fine natural clay used in cosmetics to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin without being overly drying.
• PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): The dark spots or marks left on the skin after a pimple or other skin injury has healed. This is common in melanin-rich skin.
• Saponins: Natural compounds found in plants like red beans that have cleansing and foaming properties, helping to absorb sebum.
• Sebum: The natural oil produced by your skin's sebaceous glands to keep it moisturized and protected.

How is this different from other clay masks?
Unlike many clay masks that can feel tight and stripping, the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean mask has a moist, soft texture that doesn't dry down completely. This makes it much more comfortable and suitable for a wider range of skin types, as it purifies without dehydrating the skin.

Can I use this on active acne?
Yes, it's generally safe to use on active pimples. The Kaolin clay can help draw out impurities, while the Red Bean extract offers a calming effect. However, be very gentle when massaging and rinsing to avoid irritating active breakouts.

Will this actually shrink my pores?
Pore size is determined by genetics and cannot be permanently changed with skincare. This mask helps to make pores *appear* smaller by clearing out the oil, dead skin, and debris that can stretch them out and make them more visible.

Is it supposed to tingle?
A mild, cooling sensation is normal. If you experience any strong tingling, itching, or burning, you should rinse the mask off immediately as your skin may be sensitive to one of the ingredients.

Best For: Oily, combination, and normal skin types looking to control sebum, clear blackheads, and achieve a smoother, more refined texture.
