    What the gurus are saying

    The adzuki bean powder provides gentle mechanical exfoliation without harshness, making this mask a good fit for oily skin with rough texture or anyone dealing with blackheads and congestion. Kaolin clay absorbs oil and helps refine pores, while oat kernel extract, beta glucan, panthenol and glycerin keep skin hydrated throughout. Apply once or twice a week to the full face or just congested areas like the T-Zone, leave it on, then rinse with water or cleanser; a little goes a long way.

    "This clay mask has kaolin clay, but it also has adzuki bean powder, hence the red bean part of the name, which helps to gently exfoliate. It's got these little particles in it, so this is a good product to use if you have oily skin with rough texture and you're looking for a little bit of mechanical exfoliation, but not a product where you're going to basically be sanding away at your skin. This is a great option. As the clay absorbs the oil it can help minimize the appearance of the pore opening as well, so that's kind of the marketing around that. It also has glycerin, so it's very hydrating and moisturizing. It has some fruit extracts in it, so it has a bit of a smoothie aroma if you will, but it does not have any fragrance."

    "This is their red bean pore refresh mask mud cream, which is a thick, almost paste consistency. Clays help to absorb some oil from the surface of the skin and from within the pore, and doing this helps cut down on shine for the day. It can also help with acne breakouts to a small extent because it removes that excess oiliness from the surface of the skin that would otherwise oxidize and be inflammatory for your acne and potentially contribute to worsening breakouts. It's free of fragrance and it's actually kind of fun to use if you're someone who likes to do clay masks. It's great on the forehead, the nose, you don't have to do it to the entire face as that might be way too drying. I like using it just to particularly shiny areas like my forehead and nose, your T-zone. If you have seborrheic dermatitis, that's an oily skin condition where the sebum cools on the skin within the pore and then the malassezia yeast go wild and you get inflammation and patches of irritated skin. A clay mask can help in getting ahead of that oiliness that fuels the fires of a sebderm flare, so this would be a great product to entertain using. Also when you use a clay mask, those of you who wear makeup may find that the longevity of your makeup is improved."

    "It's a fabulous clay mask because unlike traditional clay masks, you completely dry of course it will dry out, but it doesn't like dry out, so it doesn't pull and tug on your skin. Number two, it has these moon bean granules for just physical exfoliation, leaves your skin smooth, leaves it oil free, absolutely matte. I've been using this since last year, and if you have active acne or you are acne prone or if you're oily acne prone, this has to be something you're using."

    "This is the Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask, and it's ideal if you have congested or blackhead-prone skin. It will very gently just lift those sebaceous filaments and take away some of those blackheads. Use it once or twice a week for the best results. It comes with a little spatula, and a little will go a long way. You can use it all over the face as a face pack or mud mask, or you can use it on the areas where you have congestion, which for me is on my nose and chin in a more targeted way. Either way, you get an absolute ton of product and it will last forever. This is a great option if there's a teen in your life that wants to get into skincare and doesn't know where to start. It's super effective and a nice self-care treat. I cannot recommend this enough."

    "This one smells totally different from what I expected, kind of like an old cucumber, and I just don't like the scent, a lot of other people mention that too. It clumps up so you have to add it little by little, and it's thicker so it's better to spread with your fingers instead of a spatula. After ten minutes it hardened and my skin became too dry, the texture is heavy but it doesn't have much effect on my pores, so if you want to actually clean your pores I'd recommend a different product instead."

    "The red bean mask is too thick to apply on its own and it hardens too much on your face, but it's easier to apply once you mix it with the rice mask. On its own the red bean works well but it doesn't smell good."
