I recently made a YouTube video comparing the Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask and the Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask. These are two of the most popular Korean face masks right now, but they target very different skin concerns.
In this post, I’ll share the main differences between the two masks, who they’re best for, and my personal thoughts after using both. You can also watch my full comparison video below 👇

Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
The Red Bean Pore Mask is designed to:
- Control oil and sebum production
- Gently exfoliate dead skin cells
- Help refine and minimize pores
- Leave skin feeling fresh and matte
It has a soft, creamy texture with visible red bean granules that help with mild exfoliation. This mask is especially good for oily or combination skin that struggles with enlarged pores or congestion.
Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask
The Rice Mask focuses on:
- Brightening dull skin
- Improving texture and radiance
- Hydrating and nourishing the skin barrier
- Evening out skin tone
It has a smooth, creamy consistency that feels soothing on the skin. This mask works best for dry, sensitive, or dull skin that needs extra glow and hydration.
Red Bean vs Rice Mask: Which One is Best?
Both masks have their place in a skincare routine, but your choice depends on your skin type:
- ✅ Choose the Red Bean Mask if you have oily, acne-prone, or congested skin.
- ✅ Choose the Rice Mask if your skin is dry, dull, or in need of radiance.
If you can, it’s worth having both in your skincare routine and using them depending on how your skin feels that day.
