C'est la première fois que je teste un produit comme celui-ci à base de riz. J'avais pas mal de point noirs et des pores assez dilaté. Ma peau est maintenant plus lisse. L'exfoliation est très douce comparé à certains produits exfoliants dans lesquels les grains peuvent parfois irriter la peau. Je confirme que le format compact est assez pratique pour partir en voyage.

love this cleanser! It gently exfoliates without drying my skin and leaves it feeling super soft and glowy feeling baby soft. Perfect for daily use and smells fresh too! very good quality. Also use it to take off my makeup, and it works so well .The texture feels luxurious and gives that fresh clean glow every time.

I take my skincare routine very seriously as I am a licensed esthetician…I have found that a lot of Korean skincare is great but you have to really weed out the fads from the ones that really do what they say. I use this after washing my face A.M. & P.M. followed by ANUA 7+. Both have worked wonders on improving my 48yr old skin. I can’t say this product alone has improved my hyperpigmentation but it definitely is helping. I also microneedle and use Retin A which these products help keep the dry skin at bay…give it a try if you’re on the fence!

Excellent! Does lather well, not really what I’d think of a scrub.

### 5.0/5 · Leelou · September 29, 2025
Alors là révélation !!Ce produit c'est une pépite, il nettoye en profondeur et laisse un glow de folie et une peau de bébé!Je l'utilise soi en mode exfoliant avec très peu de quantité et sans trop mousser quand je suis pressée. Ou alors en mode pâte plus élastique que je mélange d'abord dans un bol avant de l'appliquer. Pour cette deuxième méthode, je vous conseille de le faire avant votre douche, car le produit ne part pas facilement. C'est beaucoup plus simple a rincer sous la douche ou avec une serviette douce. Et si ça fait des filaments de produit sur les mains (très amusant), c'est normal !Il ya une petite odeur de levure fraîche ou riz fermenté, perso, j'aime bien ! mais si vous êtes sensible aux odeurs, vous êtes prévenues.Il ne faut pas l'utiliser tous les jours, une à 3 fois par semaine est largement suffisant.Et bonus, la compo est top !

It’s a great feeling cleanser.  The rice is so good for dark spots

### 5.0/5 · LUCILU · September 27, 2025
This is a miracle product. I've been using for just over a month and people have commented that my skin is radiant. It feels so clean and it's glowing. I've had comments that I look in my thirties ( I'm in my fifties!!!) My make up looked different due to the smoothness. I've always used Estee Lauder (since my late teens). This is really a game changer. Firmer, tighter, glowing skin.... I'll be putting this on subscribe.  Very noticeable results immediately, after just over two weeks the results are overall brightening,  softness, glass looking, clean & minimised pores. You can use as a quick wash or face mask.  I want to try anything else in this range as the results are amazing!! 5☆

I love this product, does a great job of cleaning your skin and you don't need a lot! My skin felt moisturized after and skin felt soft

### 4.0/5 · Erica Hardy · September 19, 2025
Actually makes a difference! I was kind of surprised. Now it’s not a miracle but this in combo with your active serums :)

### 5.0/5 · Emma M. · September 19, 2025
Best cleanser I have ever used;I've used rice powder-type exfoliants before, so I was expecting a more grainy texture but this one turns into a smooth, gel-like cleanser when you add water.Because of the different texture I thought it wouldn't exfoliate my skin effectively, but my skin look *fabulous*, far better than I was expecting.My skin feels *so* smooth, clean and plump after using the cleansing powder, even my hands feel great after rubbing the product between my palms (I reckon it would be perfect to use on the décolletage too).I will definitely be trying other products from this range as this one has far exceeded my expectations.It's a great price too- a little goes a long way and it does what it claims to do, so this is an A+ product for me.
