The viral Anua ‘Rice+Ceramide’ review ( by a cosmetic chemist )

Creator calls this Anua's most successful serum and says it works effectively and fulfills its barrier-support, hydration, soothing and oil-control promises. She says it is just right for oily/combination skin and worth the hype, while noting its slight tackiness on oily skin and that dry or mature skin may need a richer oil-based product on top.

Cosmetic chemist says it effectively cleans pores and sebaceous filaments and leaves smooth radiant skin; she calls it excellent a few times weekly for clogged pores or very oily skin. She explicitly does not recommend daily use because it can leave slight tightness and be too much for a compromised barrier, and says it is not uniquely differentiated from comparable enzyme powders.

Creator calls this her personal favorite in the new range and one of the most successful rice toners worth trying. She recommends daily use for barrier support, soothing, hydration and brightening; the watery fast-absorbing texture works very well on her oily skin and did not aggravate clogging or sensitivity. She caveats that users seeking a thick rich lotion-like toner may prefer something else.
