The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser is one of Korea's most-loved skincare exports, with over 30 million tubes sold worldwide. Formulated with nourishing rice water, a traditional Korean beauty secret rich in vitamins A, B and E, this foaming cleanser transforms into a rich, whipped-cream lather that melts away makeup, dirt, excess oil and daily buildup without stripping your skin's natural moisture.

Infused with rice extract, soapwort (a gentle plant-based cleansing agent) and nourishing rice bran oil, this cleanser works to even out skin tone, restore radiance and leave your complexion looking brighter with regular use. In independent testing, 94 out of 100 users reported visibly brighter, clearer skin after just 3 washes.

Lightweight yet effective, this cleanser cleanses and moisturizes in a single step, making it a perfect addition to any Korean skincare (K-beauty) routine, whether used as the second step in a double cleanse or as a standalone AM/PM face wash.

Key Ingredients

• Rice Water Extract (Oryza Sativa) – Brightens skin tone, hydrates and adds radiance
• Rice Bran Oil – Antioxidant-rich; soothes skin and supports an even complexion
• Soapwort (Saponaria Officinalis) Extract – A gentle, plant-derived cleansing agent
• Glycerin – Draws in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine – A mild, coconut-derived surfactant that helps produce a soft foam without harsh irritation

Key Benefits

• ✔ Deep cleanses without stripping natural moisture
• ✔ Brightens dull skin tone and improves radiance
• ✔ Gently removes makeup residue and impurities
• ✔ Whipped, creamy foam texture that feels luxurious on skin
• ✔ Cleanses and hydrates in one step
• ✔ Dermatologically mild, suitable for daily AM & PM use

Which Skin Type Is This Best For?

This cleanser is suitable for all skin types, but it performs especially well for:

• Normal to dry skin – The hydrating rice water and glycerin help prevent the tight, stripped feeling dry skin often gets after cleansing.
• Dull or uneven-toned skin – The brightening rice extract makes it a great pick for anyone wanting a more radiant, even complexion.
• Sensitive skin – The mild, low-irritation formula (no harsh scrubbing beads) makes it gentle for daily use.

Oily or acne-prone skin can also use it, but since it's more hydrating/brightening than deep-pore-clarifying, those users may want to follow up with a targeted treatment (like a salicylic acid toner) for extra oil control.

How to Use

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Squeeze a small amount onto your palm or a foaming net and lather well.
3. Gently massage onto face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
