The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser — Hydrating, Vegan Daily Face Scrub (150 ml)

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is a mild, daily face scrub that uses rice bran powder and rice bran oil to gently polish skin while maintaining moisture.

Built on a creamy base that transforms into a rich foam, this Korean-formulated cleanser combines physical rice bran particles with hydrators like glycerin and hydrating silica to lift away dead skin and surface impurities. The formula balances cleansing and conditioning ingredients so it removes daily grime and light makeup without leaving skin tight or dry. It’s vegan, dermatologist-tested for non-irritation, and part of a high-selling Rice Water Bright collection made in Korea.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without over-drying?

Exfoliation is delivered by fine rice bran powder and hydrated silica, which gently abrade dull surface cells instead of stripping oils. At the same time, emollients and humectants such as rice bran oil and glycerin help preserve hydration during rinsing, so skin feels smooth rather than dehydrated.

• Fine rice bran powder provides mild physical exfoliation
• Hydrated silica supports gentle polishing without harsh scratching
• Rice bran oil and glycerin help maintain skin moisture
• Creamy texture foams for easy spread and rinse-off

Will this work for sensitive or combination skin?

The product is formulated to be non-irritative and suitable for a wide range of skin types, including combination and many sensitive skins. Because the exfoliating particles are small and the base contains moisturizing agents, it’s less likely to provoke tightness or roughness when used as directed, but patch-testing is still recommended for very reactive skin.

• Dermatologist-tested to minimize irritation risk
• Vegan ingredients avoid animal-derived actives
• Use frequency can be adjusted—daily for tolerant skin, alternate for reactive skin
• Formulated to rinse cleanly without residue

How should I use this cleanser within my routine?

Use a nickel-to-quarter-size amount on damp skin, massage with gentle circular motions to activate the rice bran particles, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For best results, follow with a toner or lightweight serum to support hydration and a moisturizer to lock in softness.

• Apply to wet face and neck, avoid eye area
• Massage for 30–60 seconds to exfoliate effectively
• Rinse well and pat dry before layering skincare
• Adjust frequency from daily to a few times weekly based on tolerance

What results can I expect and when?

With consistent use, you can expect smoother surface texture and a fresher-looking complexion as dead skin cells are removed and radiance is enhanced. Visible brightness can appear after a few uses, while sustained improvements in texture develop over several weeks when combined with a regular skincare routine.

• Immediate: softer skin feel after rinsing
• Short-term: brighter-looking skin within days
• Ongoing: improved texture with regular use over weeks
• Works best alongside sun protection and hydrating products

Who is this for: This cleanser is aimed at anyone looking for a gentle, daily exfoliating wash that brightens and smooths without aggressive scrubbing. It’s a good match for people with normal, combination, or mildly sensitive skin who want a Korean skincare staple to boost radiance while keeping skin hydrated. If you have highly reactive skin, consider a patch test or lower usage frequency to gauge tolerance.
