Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask is a deep cleansing wash-off mask that is specifically designed for oily or combination skin with visibly large pores. The product claims to removes dead skin cells and impurities in pores, control sebum production, and minimize enlarged pores without causing dryness or tightness. As the name suggests, it is formulated with 30% Haenam Red Bean Extract, which is known for its remarkable ability to absorb sebum and soothe the skin.
I must say the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask really caught my attention because of its main ingredient - Red Bean. So, after reading plenty of good reviews about it, I bought this product from Lazada. You can also buy this product easily from Shopee.

The Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask comes in a beautiful tub container with a lid containing 140 ml of the product. It is more environmentally friendly because it creates less waste than single use sheet masks. There is a mini spatula for you to scoop the product out from the tub, but I actually find it a bit redundant. I prefer to scoop the product out and apply the mask on my face with my hands because it is faster and easier.
TEXTURE & SMELL
The mask has a soft, smooth yet creamy texture with red bean bits. It glides effortlessly and spread easily on my skin without leaving clumps or uneven patches.
The product smells like red bean paste mixed with fruit extracts. It was sweetish and fruity, a bit like red bean potong ice cream. However, the scent is light and not overpowering.
HOW TO USE
Do not leave the mask longer than recommended because it can end up drying skin out, which can result in skin irritation. I used the mask twice a week.

A little goes a long way, so I believe this is going to last me for a while. It is best to use this mask only once or twice a week to prevent excessive cleansing. There is a slight tingling sensation upon application, but it wasn't uncomfortable nor did it sting. The tingling sensation will gradually fade away and settle into a more refreshing and cooling sensation after a minute or so.
Most clay masks can be quite drying for your skin, but surprisingly, this one is super hydrating. It doesn't leave the skin feeling dry or tight and gives a refreshing cool feeling.
It can be quite difficult to wash off the mask even though it does not dry out or harden like most other clay masks. It took five minutes of consistent washing to remove the mask completely from my face
After patting my face dry, I was blown away by how great my skin looked and felt. I noticed that my skin was glowing and my pores were less visible. I didn't experience any redness or irritation after using the mask. The mask has left my skin feeling so soft, smooth and supple that I couldn't stop touching it!
