What it is

A moisturizing toner featuring rice extract and brightening support actives to prep skin, boost radiance, and cushion hydration.

Who it's for

  • Normal to dry or combination skin needing daily hydration and a dewy finish.
  • Skin looking for gentle brightening and barrier support without heavy occlusion.
  • Sensitive-leaning users who still tolerate mild hydrating actives; patch test if reactive to botanicals.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract/Water — moisturizing botanical to support brightness and softness.
  • Niacinamide — helps even skin tone and support barrier function.
  • Panthenol and Allantoin — soothe and replenish hydration.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate and humectants — water-binding hydration for a cushioned feel.
  • Plant oils/emollients (if present) — add slip and lock in moisture; check INCI for sensitivities.

Free-from / texture

  • Milky, fast-absorbing toner; dewy but non-greasy finish.
  • Alcohol-free; review full INCI for fragrance or essential oil components if sensitive.
  • Layers well under serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing, apply with palms or a cotton pad; press gently until absorbed.
  • Use 1-2 layers as needed; follow with serum and moisturizer.
  • AM: finish with sunscreen. PM: seal with cream if needed.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most actives; apply before stronger serums to cushion potential dryness.
  • If using multiple exfoliants, monitor for sensitivity and alternate days.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanicals, ferments, or fragrance (if present).

Evidence & notes

  • Rice extract and niacinamide are common cosmetic brighteners/barrier supporters; benefits accrue with consistent use.
  • Humectants perform best on slightly damp skin; seal with moisturizer to reduce transepidermal water loss.
  • Non-drug cosmetic; adjust frequency if any stinging or redness appears.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanical extracts, oils, or fragrance components.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
  • Consult a professional before post-procedure use or if skin is compromised.
