Product details

The Rice Exfoliating Cleanser is a delicate scrub to refine skin texture for a brighter and smoother complexion, inspired by an ingredient at the heart of Balinese life.

Dessey tip: I love mixing it with a water based cleanser for extra froth!

Recommended for:

Oily/combo, although my dry skin loves this.

Texture and scent:

Texture — Gentle rice powder, finely milled.

Scent — Rice powder with chamomile.

How to use:

To activate, mix 1 tsp of the powder with water to create a creamy foam. After massaging it onto your skin, rinse with lukewarm water. (Or you can mix it with your second/water based cleanser, just like I do!)

Ingredients:

— Rice powder: Gently buffs away dead skin and impurities.

— Bamboo extract: Bamboo helps absorb excess oil.

— Chamomile Flower Water: Chamomile soothes the skin from sensitivities.

— Green Tea: Rich in antioxidants.

My experience + thoughts

A keeper.

As someone who likes to switch up her ways of exfoliating, powder based cleansers are always my preferred way to physically exfoliate when it’s not chemical. The Rice Exfoliating Cleanser is such an easy cleanser to incorporate in any routine, honestly. I love the way it froths and it doesn’t strip my skin. With a minimal ingredient list, the cleanser is packed with soothing ingredients and gentle enough to use every one to two days.

Packaging + user experience

I absolutely love the bottle. It dispenses the powder in small doses so it’s not overflowing at once.
