How it works
Missha is a mainstream Korean drugstore brand with one of the longest-running catalogs in Korean skincare, and Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g is formulated as an exfoliating treatment for the Korean market rather than a US-shelf reformulation. Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. It sits at position 15 of 20 ingredients on this row's own list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents. Panthenol, also called provitamin B5, is a humectant and conditioning agent long used in Korean formulation to support the skin's surface softness and a calmer feel after cleansing. Further down the list, Allantoin appears at position 16 of 20, adding a supporting layer rather than the lead role.
Key benefits
- Sodium Hyaluronate closes out the back half of the list at position 15 of 20, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Panthenol appears at position 10 of 20 on the ingredient list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents.
- Allantoin closes out the back half of the list at position 16 of 20, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Salicylic Acid closes out the back half of the list at position 12 of 20, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Glycolic Acid closes out the back half of the list at position 13 of 20, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Fragrance is listed, so this is a scented rather than fragrance-free formula.
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
What is the Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g?
It is Missha's exfoliating treatment. Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. Use on cleansed skin no more than two to three times a week, following the contact time stated on the packaging before rinsing or wiping away.
What does Sodium Hyaluronate do in the Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g?
Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. It sits at position 15 of 20 on this row's own ingredient list.
Who is the Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g suited for?
It suits normal, combination and oily skin looking for surface texture refinement. Fragrance is on the ingredient list, so anyone avoiding added scent should check the list before buying. Missha sells this as the same formula stocked on Korean shelves, not a version built for US retail.
How do I use the Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g?
Use on cleansed skin no more than two to three times a week, following the contact time stated on the packaging before rinsing or wiping away. Give it a few weeks in that slot before judging the result, since an exfoliating treatment works cumulatively rather than after one use.
Is the Red Bean Retinol Pore Dead Peel Drop 25 15g the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock Missha's Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. What ships is the 15g unit sold on Korean shelves, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
19 of 20 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Cellulose absorbent
- Cellulose is plant fibre. In a formula it thickens, absorbs oil and, in a sheet mask, is often the fabric itself.
- Alcohol Denat solvent
- Alcohol Denat. is ethanol with a bitter additive that makes it undrinkable, which is a tax rule rather than a formulation choice. It behaves like alcohol: a fast-evaporating solvent that gives a weightless finish and can feel drying at higher levels.
- PEG-32 humectant
- PEG-32 is a longer polyethylene glycol. It is a humectant that also adds a little body to a watery formula.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer thickener
- This is a synthetic thickener that gels quickly and holds an emulsion stable across a wide pH range. It gives a light, non-tacky body.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract plant extract
- Adzuki bean seed extract, the pat of Korean home skincare. It carries saponins and starches and is used as a conditioning, mildly cleansing extract.
- Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Glycolic Acid exfoliant
- Glycolic Acid is the smallest AHA, which is why it is also the most penetrating and the most likely to sting. It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture.
7 more explained
- Lactic Acid exfoliant
- Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Betaine humectant
- Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.

How to use
- Cleanse and dry the face fully, since water on the surface waters down the step.
- Spread a thin even layer over the face, keeping away from the eye area, the lips and any broken skin.
- Leave it for the time on the pack, rinse with lukewarm water and follow with a plain moisturiser.
- Do not use it more than twice a week or on the same night as another strong exfoliating step, and stop for a few days if the skin feels sore.
Worth knowing
- Fragrance is on the ingredient list, so anyone avoiding added scent should check the list before buying.
- Alcohol Denat is on the list, so very dry or reactive skin may want to patch test before working this into a full routine.
- An exfoliating acid is on this list, so daily users should watch for sensitivity if layering it with other active steps.
