This guide walks through what makes Beauty of Joseon special, how to avoid fakes, the products Canadians buy most, and a simple routine to get you started.
Why Beauty of Joseon is so popular
Beauty of Joseon is a Korean skincare brand inspired by hanbang, the traditional herbal beauty rituals of Korea's Joseon Dynasty. Its formulas lean on ingredients like rice bran water, ginseng, green plum and propolis, paired with modern actives such as niacinamide, retinal and alpha-arbutin.
The result is a lineup that feels gentle, smells subtle and is priced fairly, which is why so many people use it as their entry point into K-beauty. The Revive Eye Serum, Glow Serum and the original Dynasty Cream have all built cult followings.
Where to buy Beauty of Joseon in Canada
You have three main options:
- A Canadian K-beauty retailer. The simplest choice. Stores like Kiyoko ship from inside Canada, so you skip duties, brokerage fees and long international waits.
- Overseas shops. Prices can look lower, but you may pay customs and duty on delivery, and shipping from Korea can take weeks.
- Marketplaces with third-party sellers. Sellers and prices vary, and it's harder to confirm where a product came from. Viral products like the Glow Serum can attract lookalike listings.
At Kiyoko Beauty, every product is 100% authentic. We source directly from Korea and Japan, with no gray market and no knockoffs. Beauty of Joseon ships from Canada, duty-free, with UPS, Purolator and Canada Post, and shipping is free on orders over $65.
How to spot authentic Beauty of Joseon
- Buy from a retailer that clearly states where its products are sourced.
- Be wary of prices far below what other Canadian retailers charge.
- Check that boxes are sealed and the labelling is clear and complete.
- Choose a store with real customer reviews and responsive support.

Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal (30ml)
Our top-selling Beauty of Joseon product. It pairs ginseng extract with retinal liposomes for the look of fine lines around the eyes, in a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly. It's vegan and made without fragrance, alcohol, silicones or parabens. Because it contains retinal, start slowly, use it at night, and wear sunscreen during the day.
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser (100ml)
A slightly acidic gel cleanser made with green plum water and mung bean extract. It cleans without stripping skin's oil and moisture balance and leaves a soft, comfortable feel. Gentle enough for morning and night, it works best as a second cleanse after an oil.
Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream
The brand's very first product, and still a favourite. The brand lists 29% rice bran water and 5% ginseng root water, along with squalane and niacinamide, in a firm cream that melts into a glowy, long-lasting layer of moisture. It's especially good for drier skin and can double as a sleeping mask.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum: Propolis & Niacinamide (30ml)
A honey-toned serum the brand describes as 60% propolis extract with 2% niacinamide and 0.5% BHA. It gives lightweight hydration, helps balance shine and gives the look of smaller pores, which makes it a go-to for oily and combination skin. Pat in 2–3 drops, morning and night.
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil (210ml)
A lightweight soybean oil–based cleanser with ginseng seed oil that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and sebum. Massage 1–2 pumps onto dry skin, rinse with lukewarm water, then follow with the Green Plum Cleanser. It's made without artificial fragrance, alcohol or parabens.
