How it works
RICE Rice Water Bright Cleansing Lotion 200ml is built around Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, which is a rice-derived extract, the ingredient behind the brand's long-running Rice Water line. Rice extract has a long history in Korean beauty tradition, used specifically for an even-looking, brightened finish over time. Alongside it, the formula carries Dipropylene Glycol, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As a cleansing cream, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through.
Key benefits
- Carries Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, which is a rice-derived extract, the ingredient behind the brand's long-running Rice Water line.
- Carries Dipropylene Glycol, which is a humectant and solvent that helps carry the formula's other ingredients and keeps the texture from feeling tacky.
- Formulated as a cleansing cream, matched to its step in a Korean AM/PM routine rather than asked to do every job at once.
- Is the Korean-market formula from THE FACE SHOP, with intact Korean-market batch coding rather than a US-reformulated substitute.
- Part of THE FACE SHOP's Korean-market catalog, written and reviewed for this exact product page.

Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other cleansing cream in a Korean routine does.
How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version?
Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. THE FACE SHOP's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name.
When in a routine should I use this cleansing cream?
Use it as the first or single cleanse, AM or PM, worked over dry or damp skin. Placing a cleansing cream out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.
What does Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract do in this formula?
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is a rice-derived extract, the ingredient behind the brand's long-running Rice Water line. Rice extract has a long history in Korean beauty tradition, used specifically for an even-looking, brightened finish over time. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Dipropylene Glycol do in this formula?
Dipropylene Glycol is a humectant and solvent that helps carry the formula's other ingredients and keeps the texture from feeling tacky. It is one of the most common supporting ingredients in Korean formulas, chosen for texture and stability rather than as an active. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
17 of 22 explained
- Mineral Oil occlusive
- Mineral Oil is a purified petroleum-derived oil. Cosmetic grade is one of the most inert ingredients available, which is why it appears in patches, balms and formulas for easily irritated skin.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Isopropyl Myristate emollient
- Isopropyl Myristate is a light ester emollient that absorbs fast and helps other ingredients penetrate. It is known to be poorly suited to blemish-prone skin at higher levels.
- Dicaprylyl Ether emollient
- Dicaprylyl Ether is a very light emollient used to make a formula spread quickly and feel dry rather than oily.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract plant 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.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil emollient
- Rice Bran Oil is pressed from the bran left over from milling rice. It carries vitamin E and a group of rice-specific antioxidants, and it is a light emollient.
- Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Soapwort leaf extract. It is naturally rich in saponins, so it foams a little and works as a very mild plant cleanser.
- Cetearyl Olivate emulsifier
- Cetearyl Olivate is the water-loving half of the olive-derived emulsifier pair. With sorbitan olivate it builds emulsions whose lipid profile is close to skin's own.
- Sorbitan Olivate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier, the oil-loving half of the pair sold as Olivem. It holds oil into water and leaves a light, non-waxy feel.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26 emulsifier
- PPG-26-Buteth-26 is a solubiliser, almost always paired with PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, that keeps oils and fragrance in solution in a clear formula.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil emulsifier
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the most used solubiliser in clear toners and micellar waters. It holds small amounts of oil and fragrance in solution without turning the formula cloudy.
- Stearic Acid fatty acid
- Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
5 more explained
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- Potassium Hydroxide pH adjuster
- Potassium Hydroxide is a strong base used in traces to raise a formula to its target pH. In a soap-style cleanser it also converts fatty acids into the surfactant that does the cleansing.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Caprylic/Capric Glycerides emollient
- The partial glycerides of the same short coconut fatty acids used to make caprylic/capric triglyceride. They are lighter than the triglyceride and help dissolve actives.
- Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Grapefruit fruit extract, carrying fruit acids, sugars and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning, antioxidant-rich extract.

How to use
- Start with a dry face, since water dilutes a milky cleanser before it can pick anything up.
- Massage a small amount over the face for about a minute, working carefully around the eyes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water, or take it off with a soft damp cloth if you prefer a no rinse finish.
- Do not use it on wet skin or leave any of it on the face, because a cleansing milk is a rinse-off step and not a leave-on one.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first if trying a new brand's formula for the first time.
- Stop use and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivities before continuing.
