What it actually does
A soft, milky extract that adds gentle hydration and a subtle glow, especially nice for dull or tired skin.
How to use it
Use as a toner, essence or sheet mask. Layer 2–3 times if skin feels rough or dull ("7-skin" style).
The science, in plain English
Fermented rice water is rich in amino acids, ferulic acid and B vitamins — a staple in Korean skincare for softness and glow.
