What it is

A creamy, low-foam cleanser with rice-derived ingredients and green botanicals to gently remove impurities while keeping skin cushioned.

Who it's for

  • Normal, dry, or combination skin wanting a non-stripping cleanse.
  • Sensitive-leaning users seeking a cream cleanser over gel foams.
  • Those who double cleanse and want a soft second step after oil cleansing.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Rice-derived extracts/powders — help soften and comfort skin while cleansing.
  • Green botanical extracts (e.g., tea/leaf blends) — support a refreshed feel.
  • Humectants like Glycerin — maintain moisture while cleansing.
  • Mild surfactant system — lifts impurities with minimal stripping.

Free-from / texture

  • Creamy, mochi-like texture; low-foam, soft glide.
  • Fragrance status per INCI; verify if scent-sensitive.
  • Rinses clean without a squeaky feel.

How to use & order

  • Use AM/PM on damp skin; massage gently for 20–30 seconds.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water; follow with toner and the rest of your routine.
  • For heavy makeup, start with an oil/balm cleanser, then use this as a second cleanse.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • No direct conflicts; it is a wash-off cleanser.
  • After cleansing, apply actives (vitamin C, acids, retinoids) on dry skin as tolerated.
  • Pair with hydrating toner/serum if skin feels tight after cleansing.

Evidence & notes

  • Cream cleansers with mild surfactants and humectants help reduce post-wash tightness.
  • Rice and botanical extracts provide cosmetic soothing; effects are supportive, not medical.
  • Double cleansing improves removal of sunscreen and makeup; adjust based on your skin's needs.

Safety

  • For external use only; avoid eye contact and rinse thoroughly.
  • Discontinue if irritation occurs; patch test if sensitive to botanicals.
  • Consult a professional for broken, compromised, or post-procedure skin.

FAQ

Q. Is this cleanser suitable for dry or sensitive skin?

A. It uses a creamy, low-foam base with rice-derived ingredients; it is generally gentle but patch test if you react to botanical extracts.

Q. Can I use it with exfoliating acids or retinoids in the same routine?

A. Yes—cleanse first, rinse, then apply acids or retinoids on dry skin. The formula is non-exfoliating, so it can precede stronger actives.

Q. Does it remove sunscreen and light makeup?

A. It can handle light sunscreen; for long-wear or waterproof makeup, use an oil cleanser first, then follow with this as a second cleanse.
