Beauty of Joseon made Red Bean Water Gel especially for oily and combination skin, and it formulated Dynasty Cream for all skin types, especially normal to dry. That skin-type line is the main way to choose between them.

Both go after toner and serum in the brand's directions, and the brand says both can be used morning and night. We read Beauty of Joseon's product pages and the Amazon listing titles on November 1, 2026. We don't list prices, we haven't tested either one, and we don't promise results.

Gel or cream, by skin type

The Amazon sizes come from the listing titles. Everything else comes from Beauty of Joseon's own pages.

Red Bean Water Gel: a dime-sized amount, then pat

Beauty of Joseon says it created this gel especially for oily and combination skin types. Its How to Use section, broken into steps:

• During the day, the brand says to wear it with sunscreen. Its FAQ says the gel works as the moisturizer step in both morning and evening routines.
• The FAQ also points the gel at people who find their regular moisturizer too heavy during the day.
• The ingredient list begins with water, butylene glycol, glycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, methyl trimethicone and Phaseolus angularis (red bean) seed extract.
• Beauty of Joseon's page lists the gel in one size, 100 ml, the same size as the Amazon listing.

1. Cleanse, then apply your usual toner and serum.
2. Follow with a dime-sized amount of the gel.
3. Pat it in gently.

Dynasty Cream: face and neck, morning or night

Beauty of Joseon says Dynasty Cream was its first launch, and that it formulated the cream for all skin types, especially normal to dry skin. Its How to Use section, broken into steps:

• The ingredient list begins with water, glycerin, hydrogenated polydecene, 1,2-hexanediol, niacinamide and squalane.
• The brand's site sells it in 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml; the Amazon listing here is 50 ml.

1. After cleanser, toner and serum, apply a small amount over your face and neck.
2. Pat it in with your fingers.
3. Use it morning or night.

Oily or combination skin, or normal to dry?

• Oily or combination skin: the gel is the one the brand made for you. If you would still rather use the cream, the brand's tip is a dot about half the size of a pea instead of a coin-sized amount.
• Normal to dry skin, or you moisturize your neck too: the cream is formulated with normal to dry skin in mind, and its directions name the face and neck.
• Silicone-free matters to you: Dynasty Cream's FAQ says it is silicone-free.
