How it works
A clay mask that tightens as it dries is doing its job on your pores and against your skin barrier at the same time, and most people stop using them because of that second effect. This one puts glycerin second on the list, ahead of the kaolin at three and the hectorite at seven, so the humectant is working before the clay ever starts pulling. Red bean, Phaseolus Angularis, shows up twice: as a seed powder for physical texture and again as an extract, which is the brand's hanbang habit of using one ingredient for two different jobs. Rinse it before it fully hardens and the oil control stays without the tightness.
Key benefits
- Glycerin is second on the list, ahead of the clay, so the mask hydrates before it pulls oil
- Kaolin at three and hectorite at seven are two different clay chemistries working together, not one clay doing double duty
- Red bean appears twice, as a seed powder for texture and an extract further down, the brand's habit of a single ingredient doing two jobs
- Visible ground particles give a genuine light polish on rinse-off, not a marketing description of one
- No fragrance, no parfum, no essential oil on the list
- Cetyl alcohol and the olivate emulsifiers keep the clay from drying to a hard, cracking crust
Key actives
KaolinA soft, low-absorbency clay
A soft, low-absorbency cosmetic clay chosen over harsher options like bentonite alone when a formula wants oil control without matching dryness. Third on this mask's own ingredient list.
HectoriteA mineral clay that thickens the mask and adds a second absorbent layer
A mineral clay working alongside kaolin rather than replacing it, spreading the oil-absorbing load rather than relying on one clay at a higher, more drying concentration. Seventh on the list.
Phaseolus Angularis Seed PowderGround red bean, providing gentle physical texture
Ground red bean, providing gentle physical texture felt while rinsing. Present on this product's own ingredient list, alongside a second, lower-listed red bean seed extract for what the bean contributes beyond grain.
GlycerinHumectant placed ahead of the clay to offset its drying pull
Second on the list, immediately after water. Placing a humectant this early is a deliberate counterweight to a clay mask's tendency to leave skin feeling tight after rinsing.
Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
What does the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Pore Mask do?
It is a wash-off clay mask for oil control and the look of congested pores. Kaolin and hectorite, two different clay types, sit at positions three and seven, and ground red bean seed powder gives it a genuine light physical texture on rinse-off. Glycerin ahead of both clays keeps it from leaving skin as tight as a plain clay mask usually does.
How often should I use a clay mask like this?
Once or twice a week is the usual starting point for a kaolin and hectorite blend. Daily use of any clay mask tends to over-dry skin regardless of the humectants built in, so treat this as a weekly reset rather than a daily step.
Will it dry out my skin?
Less than a single-clay mask at a higher concentration, because glycerin sits second on the list ahead of both clays. It will still read as tightening while it sets, which is the clay pulling oil rather than a sign of irritation. Rinse before it fully hardens if your skin runs dry or sensitive.
Can I spot-treat with this instead of using it on the full face?
Yes, and it is a common way to use a mud mask: apply to the T-zone or other oily areas only, and skip it on drier cheek or eye areas. The formula does not change, only where you put it.

How to use
- After cleansing, on dry skin, one to two times a week. Not a daily step: this is a clay treatment, not a moisturizer.
- Spread an even layer over oily or congested areas, thicker on the T-zone if you are targeting it specifically.
- Leave for eight to ten minutes, and rinse before it fully hardens: a half-set clay mask lifts oil without the tightness a fully dried one leaves behind.
- Follow immediately with toner and moisturizer. A clay mask is the one step in a routine that leaves skin genuinely thirsty afterward.
Worth knowing
- This is a clay mask: it will read as tightening as it sets, which is the clay doing its job, not a sign to leave it on longer.
- Ultramarines and iron oxide are cosmetic colorants giving the mask its grey-blue tone; they are not active ingredients.
- Rinse before the mask fully hardens on dry or sensitive skin. A fully set clay mask pulls harder than a half-set one.
