"This is incredible on my dry skin and it still includes some of those clay ingredients, kaolin clay, honey, which is another ingredient my skin does really well with. [...] This mask does not dry down in the same way as most clay masks do, [...] it's almost as if it kind of sets but it doesn't dry down, and that's absolutely a lot of why I like this. It's easy for me to remove, my skin does not feel dry afterwards, but it does seem to help with mitigating breakouts."

BEST KOREAN SKINCARE OF 2024 (and of all time)

"There can only be one winner and it's just going to have to be this one. [...] I almost didn't buy this, I am so glad I decided to, because here it is in my best K-Beauty of 2024. The brand says this hydrates, improves skin texture, soothes inflammation including acne, it features 5% honey, it's got even an exfoliating component to it in this most gentle of ways. It really is actually an all in one face mask, and that's why it has to be the winner."

Cool Weather Skincare Favorites (with a twist!)

"It has kaolin clay in it but also five percent honey, a wonderful soothing ingredient, and rice, a calming ingredient. It's just an absolute joy to use and I do feel like it actually helps my skin out, especially because I've also got [...] acne. I've tried some much more expensive masks from [...] higher end brands, but this one is actually my favorite."

"It doesn't strip, it doesn't dry, it doesn't turn into like a crust like some masks can. If your mask is drying down completely, chances are it's stripping moisture from the deeper layers of your skin. [...] You want something that still has some malleability after you've applied it. This does. The honey is antimicrobial. Great if you've got rosacea, if you've got breakout-prone skin, acne, this will treat it. The rice enzymes will give a gentle exfoliation, but nothing too harsh."

Don't pack it on because you want a little bit. It's those enzymes that are working. You don't need to have it like a clay mask.

"What I love about this is it's a mask and it doesn't dry completely. [...] It doesn't dry down like a crust, so when you apply this to the skin [...] it goes on a bit like a sleeping mask, [...] but it doesn't dry down so it's not going to be one of those products that goes like a crust and sucks all of the moisture out of your skin. What it actually does is just impart some hydration, some plumping, and it really does help to get your glow game on point."

Super gentle, so even if you have really really sensitive skin you can use this. Put a thin layer on once, twice a week is all you need. This is like glowing skin in a bottle. I absolutely love this one and I'm so glad I tried it. Viral phenomenal."

It's gently enough that technically you could use this daily."

"It's a beautiful mask that's just got the tiniest granularity to it so you will feel some light sort of abrasion on the skin, dusting off and sloughing off all of those dead skin cells, but it's not going to be irritating. Even people with sensitive skin can use this. The honey in here is fantastic because it's antimicrobial and helps minimize blemishes. I think if you were going to buy one or two products from Beauty of Joseon, everybody should own these because they're just phenomenal."

"I love this. I started using it in January this year, and I've used it throughout spring, summer, autumn, and now into winter. It's a multifunctional mask that genuinely glows you up, hydrates you, and just calms and soothes at the same time. If you love the scent of honey, you will love this product. I love the fact that they're using honey, which is an unsung hero in skincare. It hydrates, it has some antimicrobial benefits, it can boost the skin barrier."

"It is so good.

It's such a beautiful formula and it really exfoliates my skin without stripping it. It genuinely makes my skin glowier and healthier and happier. It smells good to me. It doesn't have like a fragrance to it. It literally just smells like rice, but it smells good to me."

"Like, it feels very very gentle and because of the honey, it's super soothing and moisturizing to the skin. It's nourishing to the skin. It kind of smells good, too. The main ingredient in here is like a byproduct of rice water. So, it's supposed to be really good for your skin just in general. [...] You can see there's little granules in it, but they don't feel strong at all. [...] This is not a scrub. After I rinsed three times, I do not feel like I stripped my skin."

"I've only used it twice and I loved it from the moment I put this on the first time. Texture fragrance so of course honey fragrance you get rice you get honey you get hyaluronic acid you get a bunch of hydrating ingredients. This is a thicker texture, it's literally like that when you apply it on your face you apply a thick paste and even after 10, 15 minutes let's say it became completely dry just go ahead spray some rose water that is going to be the best way of taking it out."

"Beauty of Joseon has a red bean mask and a rice mask, but I like the rice one better because it's a much newer version, [...] they upgraded it so it's smoother and easier to apply. After I wash it off I can definitely feel it's refreshing, the smell is kind of okay, and it's affordable. It's Korea's number one wash off mask, always on the Olive Young ranking, especially when the weather gets colder."

"The rice and honey mask smells just like you'd expect, and the scent is a bit better than the red bean one. It's easier to apply because it's more watery, [...] and it's not a scrub, so you have to put it on gently with relaxed fingers or your face can get more flushed."

"This one's got some nice physical exfoliant properties but it also is hydrating but it also soaks up oil so when you rinse it off your skin just feels nice and clean and bright and soft not oily not too greasy nothing like that so it's a kind of a nice in between type product."

"Kaolin is oil-absorbing, so it will help minimize pores and absorb oil, which is great if you have oily or combination skin. The honey makes it stick well and [...] is very soothing, and the glycerin holds water in the top layer of skin. It's a bit messy and you can't kiss your kids with it, but I actually really like this product. Highly recommend it. I'd give it 7.5 out of 10, especially for oily acne-prone skin, [...] mature skin with large pores, or once a week treatment."

"I absolutely love this. [...] It has all the benefits of a clay mask with all the skin nourishment and moisture of a honey mask. I definitely need the clay because my skin feels a little bit dull and I'm noticing a little bit more congestion with the seasonal change. [...] My combination skin is getting confused with the warm but also chilly weather."

"It's like this beautiful three-in-one mask. We have this moisturizing honey element, and it's very apparent in the texture which is very luxurious, very silky, and quite moisturizing and skin softening for the skin. There's also a soothing element with the honey that helps to reduce redness and inflammation, and it just feels so good on the skin."

"This mask really soothes and balances my skin. It helps to reduce inflammation, it takes down redness, and it really does give my skin this really beautiful lit from within glow. [...] They are using some fermented rice that they get from magoli, which is a sparkling rice wine from Korea, and when you ferment an ingredient you really unlock a lot of what I call skin nutrition, there's a lot of the vitamins, the minerals, the amino acids, the antioxidant power."

"I've been using this at least once a week since I got it, it's almost empty. I really really like this mask because it makes using a clay mask a lot easier for my skin that can get easily dried out by clay. I love clay masks because I have that oily T-Zone, so the pores can just really fill up and look very stretched out. [...] I love what clay can do, especially if you're consistently using it like once or two times a week to just get the extra oil out."

[...] This is just the perfect [...] multitasking, multi-beneficial type of product. This is a great combination of some of my favorite things in a mask. So this has clay content in it."

"Whenever I reach for a mask it's always like a little SOS kind of a thing, like I want to see something happen on my skin, and this definitely delivers a visible benefit when you use it. I think all skin types quite honestly, even with the clay, I think all skin types could enjoy this. I'm loving it. [...] I'm going to give this a 10 out of 10. I'm really really excited about this mask. I didn't think the mask was going to be the one that blew me away, but it really was."

"So it helps to clear out my pores and smooth my texture, but the honey helps to moisturize and help reduce redness and inflammation, and it's great for my sensitive skin. This mask also has some physical exfoliation from the rice hull components in it. After I leave this mask on for about 10 minutes to let the clay and the honey do their magic, I'm going to gently rub this into my face and I'm going to get a little bit of that physical exfoliation for any flaky skin as well."

"This is a 10 out of 10. I've been using it for so many years [...] and I've been raving about it since it was released in summer of 2024. This is a beautiful three-in-one mask so it brings all the benefits of a clay mask. There is clay content in here so it's great for helping to clean out the pores to help refine texture on the skin and help to suck up excessive oil, but it's been mixed with honey so it has all the benefits of a honey moisturizing mask."

"This is the Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask. If you haven't used this before, [...] imagine your favorite clay mask but without the horrible drying down, the tightness, and the way it leaves your skin void of all moisture. There's something here called rice Lees extract which is brightening and helps boost elasticity. It's a fermented ingredient as well, so you get all that kind of better aging benefits. Rice whole powder makes this a really nice gentle exfoliation once it's time to rinse off."
