- Texture modifiers and others like alcohol, fragrance — For feel and scent; however, these can be sensitising for some skin types. Chanhtuoi Beauty+2Reddit+2
- A lotion that contains extract from rice and ceramide gives moisture to the skin and gets even more moisturizing as the time passes.
✨ What Makes It Special
- Balance of hydration without heaviness — It’s an emulsion (lighter than a cream, richer than a toner), making it well suited for those who want a moisturiser that layers well or works under makeup. TheBeautyInsideOut+1
- Barrier repair + brightening combo — Not only does it moisturise and help retain moisture (via ceramide), but also helps brighten via rice extract and related components. INCIDecoder+2The Face Shop+2
- Generous size — 150 ml is relatively large for a skincare emulsion, giving better value especially for daily use. YesStyle+1

Where Rice & Ceramide Emulsion Pulls Ahead / Different |
|
Emulsion A (for example, a ceramide-rich cream from another K-beauty brand) |
May have higher ceramide concentration; possibly fragrance-free versions. Often thicker creams with richer feeling. |
Rice & Ceramide is lighter — better for those who dislike heavy creams. Also larger size per bottle so better value. |
|
Aloe Vera gel-based moisturisers (e.g. Aloe 92% etc.) |
Very light, cooling, minimal texture, often without heavy scent or emollient richness. Great for oily skin. |
Rice & Ceramide gives more emollient support (due to ceramide & rice bran oil) so better for normal-dry skin or when barrier has been compromised. Offers a more nourishing feel. |
|
Moisturisers with only humectants + ceramide |
Very good hydration; often less chance of irritation when they avoid fragrance / oils. |
The addition of rice extract brings brightening and antioxidant benefits, plus a richer skin feel. For someone wanting both barrier repair and skin tone improvement, it’s an advantage. |
|
“Clean / fragrance-free” emulsions |
Better for ultra-sensitive skin; minimal risk of irritation. |
Rice & Ceramide is not fragrance-free, so it may lose out for customers whose priority is avoiding any scent. However, for users who are okay with mild scent, they get more benefits for value. |
🏆 Why It Stands Out
- Great value for performance — You’re getting ceramide + rice extract benefits in a generous 150 ml emulsion, which many find delivers good daily hydration without needing multiple extra serums.
- Rich but not too rich — It bridges the gap between ultra-light lotions/gel moisturisers and full creams, making it versatile across seasons or layering needs.
- Multi-benefit: Moisture + barrier repair + subtle brightening in one product. Many competitors focus only on one aspect.
- Hands-on limitations are clearly communicated — fragrance, texture, packaging — which helps in setting real expectations and building trust.
