What it is

Lightweight essence that combines antioxidant-rich black rice with probiotics and barrier-supporting actives to hydrate, soothe, and improve the feel of skin resilience.

Who it's for

  • Normal, combination, or oily skin seeking hydration and barrier support without heaviness.
  • Sensitive or redness-prone skin needing calming, antioxidant care.
  • Users layering actives who want a soothing, watery essence step.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Black Rice Extract — antioxidant-rich, soothing base.
  • Probiotics/Ferments — cosmetic support for balanced-looking skin.
  • Niacinamide — helps even tone appearance and supports barrier resilience.
  • Ceramide-like ingredients — reinforce moisture retention and comfort.
  • Panthenol/Humectants — hydrate and soothe.

Free-from / texture

  • Watery essence texture; fast-absorbing with dewy, non-sticky finish.
  • Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Layers cleanly under serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing/toner, apply with hands over face and neck.
  • Layer 1–2 times if extra hydration is needed; follow with serum and moisturizer.
  • Use morning and night; finish with sunscreen in the daytime.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally compatible with most actives; if using strong acids/retinoids, start slowly and monitor for sensitivity.
  • Can be used as a hydrating buffer before potent treatments.
  • Patch test if you have very reactive or post-procedure skin.

Evidence & notes

  • Black rice, probiotics, and niacinamide are cosmetic ingredients; barrier and brightening claims are cosmetic in nature.
  • Humectants benefit from sealing with moisturizer to reduce transepidermal water loss.
  • Light texture suits layering without pilling when products are allowed to absorb.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
