Rice-based facial skincare has always worked quite well with my skin. As a matter of fact, the first cleanser that cleared up my high school acne was a rice-based cleanser. Naturally, I was excited to enter this giveaway and thrilled to be one of the winners. That being said, I will provide my utmost honest thoughts about any product I review, and this product is no exception.
I honestly set my expectations as four stars for this product, but after using it, I have changed it to 5 stars (out of 5). Here are some of the multiple reasons why I love this product:
🍚 Have you seen the texture of this?! It has micro-granules embedded in the formulation. At first, I thought they were microbeads that don’t do much, but it turns out these are finely ground Korean rice powder! I also noticed this is infused with rice bran water in the ingredients, so it looked better than I expected.
🍚 This foams nicely on the face with water. After washing my face, it felt hydrated and clean at the same time, without being stripped of its natural oils.
🍚 This has several superstar ingredients such as:
- Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) for skin brightening
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract for soothing, anti-bacterial, and moisturizing properties
- Arginine (one of the amino acids we need) to help protect skin from free radical damage, improve skin hydration, and support collagen synthesis that prevents wrinkle formation
- Glycerin, which has been proven to be one of the best moisturizing ingredients in the skincare market
🍚 The scent of this is very faint yet pleasant. It’s not easy to describe what this scent is, but it’s a scent I find most often in my rice-based skincare products.
🍚 Can we talk about the packaging for a hot minute?! It’s so aesthetically pleasing. The font makes the product look more luxurious. I love that this is an affordable product with a luxurious, simple look.
Overall, I rate this a 5/5.
