Rice

Rice gently improves skin moisture, hydration, lightening, thickness, smoothness, elasticity, and firmness while helping to ease roughness, redness, and pores. This botanical ingredient suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well through nourishing creams, gentle cleansers, soothing masks, and refreshing toners. It fits seamlessly into a daily regimen because the formulations layer easily with other products.
