Pores are the pathways through which sebum exits our skin. When excess sebum and dead skin cells build up in these pathways, it can lead to enlarged pores. That’s why at "KORAL SECRETS," we've created the highly adored Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask from the BOJ brand, a fantastic exfoliator. This innovative product harnesses key ingredients from the Earth, specifically red beans, which have been treasured throughout history, along with kaolin (KAY-uh-lin), a clay mineral with the chemical formula Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4. Red beans have been an essential ingredient in Korean culture and skincare. During the Joseon era, women who prioritized skincare used mung beans and ground red beans as facial cleansers. Together with kaolin, these ingredients help to minimize open pores and serve as a natural exfoliant, promoting a smoother skin texture. Additionally, the gentle clay's moisturizing formula absorbs excess sebum and eliminates dead skin cells without causing dryness, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and soothed.

The formula is dermatologically tested and free from harmful or irritating ingredients for the skin, such as alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrances, and essential oils.

*140ml

Usage

After cleansing your skin with your regular cleanser, apply the mask to dry skin, focusing on areas with enlarged pores. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently massage your skin in circular motions with warm water to remove any remnants. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Proceed with the other steps in your routine.

Brand

Beauty of Joseon is a skincare brand inspired by the beauty traditions of women during the Korean Joseon Dynasty. During this time, women focused on achieving clean and healthy skin rather than masking it with heavy makeup. The beauty secrets of these women were documented in the Gyuhap Chongseo, often regarded as the beauty encyclopedia of the Joseon Dynasty, authored by Yi Bingheogak, a prominent female scholar born into a noble family in 1809, who described women as having a healthy and glowing complexion. Thus, the brand aims to create skincare products that beautifully blend the secrets of traditional plants from Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern ingredients backed by science.

Just like all the products in the BENTON brand line, the Snail Bee High Content Essence is a multifunctional essence that addresses multiple skin concerns at once! With ingredients like snail secretion and collagen derived from bee venom, it significantly enhances skin elasticity. The addition of vitamin B3, specifically niacinamide, helps eliminate spots and hyperpigmentation. Its very lightweight, watery consistency makes it suitable for treating acne and uneven texture. It adapts excellently to all skin types, including sensitive skin. The pH level is 5.5.

The formula is dermatologically tested and does not contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrances, or artificial dyes.

*100ml

Usage

After cleansing your skin with your usual cleanser and applying toner, apply the essence to your face. Take a small amount in your hands and spread it over your face, neck, and décolletage until fully absorbed by the skin. Continue with the other steps in your routine.
