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.
