Rice Toner
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
I'm From Rice Toner is a milky, hydrating toner that several creators praise for its lightweight, nourishing feel and ability to add moisture without greasiness. However, Val Foché reports that it caused stinging on her face, especially on broken skin, and she did not like it. The toner contains rice extract, ceramides, and panthenol, making it a good option for barrier support, but those with sensitivity may want to patch test.
