Red Bean Water Gel 100 ml – Oil-Balancing Gel Moisturiser For Oily & Combination Skin

AM & PM – Moisturiser step

1. Prep your skin
   Cleanse, then use toner/essence and any serums.
   Skin can be slightly damp for better spread and absorption.
   
2. Apply the gel
   Take around a pea to 10p-coin size amount for face (a little more for neck).
   Dot over forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then spread in thin layers.
   
3. Massage & finish
   Gently glide and tap for 30–60 seconds until it fully absorbs.
   Focus on T-zone and areas where you’re more oily or have visible pores.
   
4. AM finishing step
   In the morning, follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 as your last step.
   
5. PM usage
   Use as your main night moisturiser on oily/combination skin.
   If you’re very dehydrated, you can layer a slightly richer cream just on dry patches over the top.

Tips to get the most out of it

• Ideal as a summer moisturiser or “too-hot-for-cream” season, especially for oily/combination skin.
  
• Works well in routines with retinoids or BHA – keep this as your calming, hydrating cream step.
  
• If you’re very oily, try using this alone in the morning and a slightly richer cream only at night.
  

Patch-test first. Every skin is different – dab a small amount behind your ear or on your jawline and wait 24 hours before full use.

Key Ingredients Explained

Haenam Red Bean Extract (Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract – 44%)
Rich in saponins and antioxidants; helps absorb excess sebum, support pore care, and improve skin elasticity and overall skin health – ideal for oily, acne-prone complexions.

Peptide Complex (SH-Oligopeptide-1, SH-Oligopeptide-2, SH-Polypeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)
Signal peptides that help support collagen, elasticity and smoother texture, softening the look of fine lines and giving skin a firmer, bouncier appearance over time.

Humectant Hydration Blend (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Glyceryl Glucoside, Glucose, Sucrose, Beta-Glucan)
A mix of water-binding ingredients that pull moisture into the skin and keep it there, preventing that tight, dehydrated feeling that often coexists with oiliness.

Panthenol, Allantoin & Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Soothing and barrier-supportive ingredients that help calm irritation, reduce redness and improve comfort, perfect if you’re using active treatments or have reactive skin.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate + Tocopherol (Vit C & E)
Gentle vitamin C derivative + vitamin E that provide antioxidant protection, subtle brightening and support against environmental stress, helping dull, tired skin look more even over time.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
Light emollient rich in linoleic acid that helps support the lipid barrier and prevent moisture loss, without making the gel feel heavy or greasy.
