TATCHA Rice Polish Gentle daily non-abrasive exfoliating powder — 60 g / 2.1 oz for dry, sensitive skin

Inspired by centuries-old Japanese rice bran rituals, this daily exfoliating powder blends finely milled rice bran with silk protein to gently slough away dull surface cells without harsh scrubbing. When mixed with water, the powder transforms into a luxurious, velvety foam that polishes skin for improved smoothness and a luminous finish. Formulated for dry and sensitive skin types, it aims to refresh texture and prepare skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively.

How does this exfoliant work without feeling abrasive?

The product uses an ultra-fine rice bran powder and silk protein that dissolve into a soft, cushioning foam rather than using jagged particles. The result is a polishing action that feels gentle on fragile skin while helping to remove surface flakes and dead cells.

• Water-activated powder becomes a creamy, non-gritty foam
• Finely milled rice bran provides smooth exfoliation, not micro-tearing
• Silk protein helps maintain a silky, protective slip during use
• Designed to minimize friction and irritation for dry, delicate skin

When and how should I use The Rice Polish Gentle in my routine?

Use this exfoliant up to daily or as your skin tolerates—many people prefer it a few times weekly for extra radiance. Scoop a small amount, mix with a little water between palms until a soft foam forms, then massage gently over damp skin and rinse thoroughly.

• Apply after cleansing for best contact with the skin surface
• Use a fingertip circular motion—avoid vigorous rubbing
• Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with your serum and moisturizer
• Adjust frequency based on skin sensitivity and needs

What skin concerns can it help improve visually?

While not a treatment for underlying medical conditions, this polish helps improve skin texture and visible dullness by removing dead surface cells. Regular, gentle exfoliation can make skin appear smoother and better lit, enhancing the look of fine lines and improving the application of subsequent skincare products.

• Reduces surface dullness for a brighter appearance
• Smooths uneven texture so makeup and treatments glide on evenly
• Helps refine the look of fine surface lines by softening roughness
• Leaves a conditioned, non-tight finish suitable for dry skin

Who is this for? TATCHA The Rice Polish Gentle is best suited to people with dry, sensitive, or mature skin seeking a mild daily exfoliant that polishes without abrasion. If you prefer foam textures, want an easy-to-rinse formula, and aim to boost skin smoothness and glow while protecting delicate skin, this powder-to-foam polish fits those needs. Avoid if you have open wounds or a reactive condition advised by a clinician; otherwise, introduce gradually and observe how your skin responds.
