Rice Water Bright Facial Foaming Cleanser

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam is an award-winning staple in Korean skincare, formulated to deliver both a deep clean and a luminous complexion. This creamy, multi-tasking cleanser transforms into a cushiony, rich foam that softly glides over the skin, effectively dissolving stubborn makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and fine dust from pores. The core ingredient is natural rice water, known in traditional Asian beauty for being rich in vitamins A, B, and E, ceramide, and minerals.

While highly effective at cleansing, the formula is designed to minimize moisture loss, leaving the skin feeling soft, comfortable, and hydrated, rather than tight or dry. It works to brighten a dull skin tone, promote a clearer complexion, and improve the look of rough texture. It is suitable for daily use as a stand-alone cleanser or as the second step in a double cleansing routine.

Key Ingredients:

• Rice Water (Oryza Sativa Extract): Enriched with vitamins and minerals, it is the primary ingredient responsible for moisturizing, brightening, and enhancing the skin's natural radiance.

• Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa Bran Oil): Provides essential moisture and nourishment to prevent the skin from feeling dry after cleansing.

• Soapwort Extract (Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract): A natural surfactant that helps create the creamy lather, soothes the skin, and contributes to a clearer complexion.

• Glycerin: A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, ensuring hydration is maintained.

• Stearic Acid & Myristic Acid: Fatty acids that help create the product's thick, creamy texture and powerful foaming action.

Benefits:

• Deep Cleansing: Effectively washes away dirt, excess oil, and impurities from the pores.

• Melts Makeup: Efficiently removes makeup residue, often serving as both a primary and secondary cleanser.

• Brightens & Evens Tone: Rice water and extract work to reduce dullness and promote a clear, radiant, even-toned look.

• Hydrating Texture: Leaves the skin feeling moisturized and supple, minimizing the dry, tight feeling common with many foaming cleansers.

• Rich, Whipped Foam: Provides a luxurious, low-friction cleansing experience.

• Suitable for Most Skin Types: Best suited for normal to dry skin types, and can be used by combination/oily skin types looking for a deep clean.

How to Use:

1. Wet Face & Hands: Dampen your face and hands with lukewarm water.

2. Dispense & Lather: Squeeze an adequate amount of the cleanser (a pearl-sized amount) onto your palm. Rub your hands together vigorously to create a dense, whipped foam.

3. Cleanse: Gently massage the foam onto your entire face and neck in circular motions for about 30–60 seconds, avoiding the eye area.

4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then follow with a splash of cold water to finish (optional, to help tighten pores).

5. Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

6. Frequency: Use twice daily, morning and evening.

Tips for Best Results:

• Use as Second Step: For a deeper clean and to protect the skin barrier, use this product as the second step after an oil-based cleanser (like the Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil) to remove any remaining residue and impurities.

• Small Amount, Big Foam: You only need a small, pearl-sized amount of the creamy product to generate a large amount of foam.

• Avoid Eye Area: Due to the strong foaming agents, avoid direct contact with the eyes, as it may cause irritation.

• Immediate Follow-Up: Apply your toner immediately after cleansing to prevent the skin from losing moisture.

• Listen to Your Skin: If you have very dry or sensitive skin and find the "squeaky clean" feeling too stripping, reduce usage to once a day (evening only) or try a less alkaline cleanser.
