Product details

Moisturize + strengthen

A hanbang cream with ginseng, rice and niacinamide, made to leave skin dewy and bouncy.

Beauty of Joseon’s signature moisturizer draws on traditional Korean herbal medicine. It hydrates, helps strengthen the moisture barrier so skin stays hydrated longer, and absorbs quickly.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Niacinamide

    Vitamin B3, high on the list. Brightens dull skin, evens out tone and supports the barrier over regular use.

    No. 5 of 37 on the list

  • Squalane

    A light, skin-identical oil that softens and keeps water from escaping without feeling heavy.

    No. 6 of 37 on the list

  • Ginseng + rice

    The two hanbang staples behind Beauty of Joseon. Ginseng is prized for keeping skin firm and lively, rice bran water for a soft, even glow.

    No. 14, 20 of 37 on the list

  • Ceramide + hyaluronic acid

    A ceramide to reinforce the barrier and three hyaluronic acids to hold water in, with adenosine for smoothness.

    No. 25, 26, 27, 29 of 37 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Honey
  • Safflower seed oil
  • Coptis root
  • Radish seed
  • Cocoa seed
  • Goji berry
  • Phellinus mushroom
  • Baikal skullcap

How to use

The last step, morning and night

  1. 1

    Prep

    Cleanse, then apply your toner, essence and serum.

  2. 2

    Scoop

    Take a pea- to almond-sized amount with clean fingers or a spatula.

  3. 3

    Dot and spread

    Dot it on forehead, cheeks and chin, then spread it outward over face and neck.

  4. 4

    Press in

    Press with your palms until the slight tackiness settles. In the morning, follow with sunscreen.

Dewy, bouncy, never greasy

A moisturizer that keeps skin hydrated longer, with a glow that reads as healthy skin rather than shine.

Good to know

  • The texture is slightly tacky on purpose. It sinks in quickly and leaves a dewy finish.
  • Works morning or night. Beauty of Joseon calls it an all-day cream.
  • Contains honey extract, so it isn't vegan.
  • Free of parabens, sulfates and EU-listed fragrance allergens.
  • 50 mL jar.
