How it works
The Rice Mucin Glow Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Retinal, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Arencia sells in Korea, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract and all.

- Biotin and Thiamine HCl further down the same list

Key actives
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extractplant extract
Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish. It is the entry this serum is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it fifth on this serum's list, beside Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named twenty-fourth on this serum's list, alongside Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract.
Retinalactive
Retinal is retinaldehyde, a vitamin A derivative one chemical step closer to retinoic acid than retinol is. It is yellow-orange and unstable in light, so products carrying it are usually opaque. It is named thirty-third on this serum's list, alongside Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract.
Tranexamic Acidactive
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. The panel names it forty-fifth on this serum's list, beside Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Retinal. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tranexamic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.

Payment and security

How to use
- Use it after cleansing and toning, while the surface is still slightly damp.
- Press three or four drops over the face and neck rather than rubbing them in.
- Wait until it feels dry to the touch, then apply your moisturiser over the top.
- Do not apply it over a cream or an oil, since a light serum cannot get through a finished occlusive layer.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract on the list.
- Retinal is on this list, so keep this serum to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this serum an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
