What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + Mild glucoside-led gel with niacinamide at position 10 - real formula substance behind the marketing
- + Fragrance-free and essential-oil-free on the INCI
- + Gentle polish load (kaolin, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch)
- + Large 250 mL size
- + Strong early base: about 4.8 across 212 Sephora reviews
Worth knowing
- - The "rice" headline is light: the brand's own KR annotation puts rice bran water at 98.40 ppm and rice ferment at 2 ppm - rice is a supporting ingredient, not the story
- - Glycolic acid and protease sit at the tail - "contains" only
- - Evidence (8) is one point below the Top Pick bar
- - Minor version flag: the KR list's tail carries salicylic acid and trehalose that the US list does not
- - No numeric pH
