Common questions
Is Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: plant oils & butters (helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel suitable for sensitive skin?
Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
