What is Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask?
Think of the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask as a weekly reset for shiny, congested skin. This 140ml wash-off mask pairs soft kaolin clay with red bean extract and finely ground red bean powder. Smoothed on after cleansing, it draws up excess oil and loosens the build-up that makes pores on the nose, chin and forehead look bigger, then gives a gentle polish as you rinse it away.
It belongs to Beauty of Joseon's hanbang-inspired range, which borrows ingredients from traditional Korean beauty rituals and pairs them with modern, gentle formulas. Red beans were used in old Korean bathing routines as a natural cleanser, and this mask puts that idea into a creamy, easy-to-use paste.
What does a red bean refreshing pore mask do?
It does three jobs in one short step: absorbs extra sebum, clears dead skin and grime from the surface, and leaves pores looking tighter and more refined. Because the clay is balanced with glycerin and plant oils, skin feels clean and smooth afterwards rather than tight or chalky.
Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask benefits: what it does for your skin
Soaks up oil and refines the look of pores
Kaolin is one of the gentlest clays used in skincare. It lifts the oil that collects in the T-zone through the day, so pores look less obvious and makeup sits better the next morning.
Gentle physical exfoliation
Tiny particles of red bean powder buff away flaky, dull surface cells when you massage the mask off with water. The effect is mild enough for weekly use, far softer than a gritty scrub.
Antioxidant care from fruit extracts
Pear and strawberry extracts give the formula antioxidant support, so the skin looks fresh and bright rather than stripped after masking.
Comfortable for most skin types
The mask is made without artificial fragrance or essential oils, which keeps it suitable for sensitive-leaning skin that still struggles with oiliness.

How to use Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask (morning and night)
How to apply the red bean refreshing pore mask
- Wash your face with your usual cleanser and pat it almost dry.
- Scoop a small amount with a clean spatula and spread an even layer, a little thicker over the nose and chin.
- Leave the area around your eyes and lips bare.
- Wet your fingertips and massage in small circles so the bean powder buffs the surface, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser.
How long should you keep the red bean pore mask on?
Around five to ten minutes is enough. You do not need to wait until it cracks; leaving clay on until it is bone dry can make skin feel tight. Oily skin can stay closer to ten minutes, while sensitive or combination skin is usually happiest nearer five.
Morning or evening, and how often?
Use it once or twice a week, at whatever time suits you. In the evening it pairs well with a calming routine; in the morning it gives a fresh, matte base before sunscreen such as the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun. On mask days, skip other exfoliants like the The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution.
Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask results: how long until you see a difference?
Skin looks smoother and less shiny straight after the first rinse. With weekly use over three to four weeks, many people find their T-zone stays matte for longer and pores look more refined, because the build-up that stretches them is cleared regularly. It will not permanently shrink pores, which are partly genetic, but it keeps them looking their best.
Does Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask have side effects?
Most people use it without problems. Over-using any clay mask can leave dry or sensitive skin tight or flaky, so stick to once or twice a week and moisturise afterwards. If you have very dry skin, apply it only on the oily zones. Stop if you notice stinging, redness or itching that lasts after rinsing.
Is red bean paste safe during pregnancy?
The mask is a rinse-off clay formula without strong exfoliating acids or retinoids, so it is generally considered gentle. Every pregnancy is different, though, so check with your doctor before adding new products if you have any concerns.
