How it works
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract is named on the ingredient panel on this foaming cleanser. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid and Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract. Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.

Key actives
Oryza Sativa (Rice) 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
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.
Myristic Acid
Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Lauric Acid
Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract
Soapwort leaf extract. It is naturally rich in saponins, so it foams a little and works as a very mild plant cleanser.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Glycerin 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 foaming cleanser 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 foaming cleanser?
Use it as the second cleanse, AM and PM, after an oil cleanse at night or alone in the morning. Placing a foaming cleanser 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.

How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water, since a lather on dry skin drags rather than glides.
- Work a small amount into a lather in your palms first, then massage it over the face for about thirty seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly, especially along the jaw and hairline where cleanser gets left behind.
- Do not use hot water or scrub at the skin, and do not wait for the face to dry before your next step.
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.
