ANUA Rice 70 Intensive Moisturizing Milk
A non-sticky moisturizing milk with 70% rice bran water and ceramides that hydrates and brightens with a fresh, lightweight finish.
What it is
ANUA's Rice 70 Intensive Moisturizing Milk is a fluid, lotion-style ('milk') moisturizer built on 70% rice bran water, which is rich in vitamins B and E, plus five types of ceramides to reinforce the skin barrier and niacinamide for tone. It's a non-comedogenic, fast-absorbing 150ml lotion designed for daily AM and PM use, and marketed as suitable for sensitive skin.
What reviewers say
Reviewers repeatedly praise how light and non-sticky it is, it sinks in fast, hydrates well and leaves a fresh, soft finish rather than a greasy film, which oily and combination skin especially appreciate. Many mention a brighter, more even, healthy look over time from the rice and niacinamide, and sensitive-skin users find it calming and well tolerated. The main caveat is richness: as a lightweight milk, it may not be enough on its own for very dry skin or harsh winter weather, where a heavier cream layered on top works better.
