SKINFOOD Rice Brightening Cream
A fermented-rice moisturizer reviewers say they wake up to brighter, softer skin with, just richer in texture.
What it is
SKINFOOD's Rice Brightening Cream centers on the brand's Rice Pore Complex, fermented rice water, hydrolyzed rice protein and 17 amino acids, plus PHA to gently smooth away dead skin. It's a vegan, nourishing moisturizer in a 60ml jar aimed at a brighter, 'glass-skin' glow.
What reviewers say
The most common review is waking up to a visibly brighter complexion with less-visible pores, and skin that feels soft, nourished and radiant, often after just a few uses. The thick, creamy texture is called deeply hydrating, with a little going a long way. Texture is where opinions split: some find it absorbs cleanly with no residue, while others describe it as sticky or tacky through the day, so it may suit drier skin better than very oily skin.
What reviewers love

How to use it
