## Key benefits

- Red bean (Phaseolus Angularis) extract is sixth on the list, right after the silicone stage
- Four peptides follow immediately behind it: acetyl hexapeptide-8, two sh-oligopeptides and an sh-polypeptide
- Panthenol and allantoin close out the published portion of the list for comfort
- Methyl trimethicone gives the fast, non-greasy set that oily and combination skin wants from a gel
- Sourced as Beauty of Joseon sells it in Seoul, the original Korean-market release rather than a reformulated export version

## How it works

A gel moisturizer for oily skin usually trades away any active beyond water-binding, which is why most read thin on paper. This one keeps going past the humectant stage: red bean extract sits sixth, and four peptides, acetyl hexapeptide-8, two sh-oligopeptides and an sh-polypeptide, follow directly behind it before panthenol and allantoin close the published portion of the list. The silicone (methyl trimethicone) sits fifth, which is what gives the fast, non-greasy set.

## How to use

1. Use it as your moisturizer step, morning and evening, after serum.
2. A pea or two for the whole face, smoothed on while skin is still damp.
3. Oily skin can stop here; drier skin can press a cream over the top at night.
4. Do not lay it on thickly under sunscreen, since a gel this watery can make the sun step slide.

## FAQ

### Where does the red bean extract sit on this gel's ingredient list?

Phaseolus Angularis (red bean) seed extract is sixth on the list, right after the silicone stage. Four peptides, acetyl hexapeptide-8, two sh-oligopeptides and a sh-polypeptide, follow immediately behind it, which is why the formula is built around that pairing.

### Is this gel moisturizer greasy?

No. Methyl trimethicone gives the gel a fast-setting, non-greasy finish, which is part of why it is positioned for oily and combination skin that wants hydration without added shine. Panthenol and allantoin close out the list to keep that fast-set finish comfortable rather than tight.

### Is this enough on its own, or does it need a cream over it?

On oily or combination skin in warm weather it is enough on its own as the last leave-on step. On drier skin, or in winter, it works better under a richer cream than as the only layer, because a water gel is drawn to sink in rather than to seal. Either way it goes on after your serum.

### Does this gel contain fragrance?

No parfum or fragrance ingredient appears anywhere on this gel's ingredient list. It is a water gel rather than a cream, so it sinks in fast and leaves nothing sitting on the surface, which is the reason it is aimed at oily and combination skin.

### How can I confirm this is the authentic Korean-market Beauty of Joseon formula, not a US reformulation?

Beauty of Joseon verifies its products by sourcing chain rather than a scan, because the brand has retired its own QR verification and is phasing out its authenticity seal. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label, and we publish exactly where we buy. That intact packaging is the record the brand itself points to now that its earlier scan-based check is gone.
