Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm

⏱ 2 min read
⚡ Quick answer: Radiance Cleansing Balm is Beauty of Joseon's oil cleanser / cleansing balm, built around Rice Extract. Normal to dry skin that wants a comfortable first cleanse without a heavy after-feel, and anyone already using the brand's Relief Sun sunscreen who wants something that reliably removes it.

A sherbet balm built around rice bran oil, keeping Beauty of Joseon's hanbang framing consistent across the range. It melts fast, has a slightly thinner working texture than the shea-heavy balms, and emulsifies without much coaxing. The radiance in the name comes from a clean, well-hydrated surface after a thorough first cleanse — it is not a brightening product, and the brand is reasonably honest about that on the pack.

What it is built around

🍚 Rice Extract

Who it suits

Normal to dry skin that wants a comfortable first cleanse without a heavy after-feel, and anyone already using the brand's Relief Sun sunscreen who wants something that reliably removes it. Combination skin gets on with it well. If your main concern is oiliness or active congestion, a lighter oil rinses more completely and will serve you better as a nightly first step.

🌟 Dullness & glow🥵 Dryness & dehydration⚫ Blackheads & sebaceous filaments

How to use it

Spatula a scoop onto dry hands, work into dry skin for thirty to sixty seconds, then add water and emulsify to a milk before rinsing. Follow with a water-based cleanser. Evening only. If you have worn a mineral or heavily water-resistant sunscreen, give it the full minute rather than rushing.

⚠️ Worth knowing: Do not read "radiance" as brightening — nothing that leaves your face in under two minutes will shift pigmentation, and this contains no meaningful brightening actives. The jar is small for the price once you account for how much a proper first cleanse uses, and like all jar balms it wants a spatula and a dry bathroom shelf rather than the ledge inside the shower.
