by Tatcha
Updated October 6, 2026
Rice-enzyme powder exfoliant that softens flakes; deceptively gentle, even on tret skin.
What the community says
A foaming rice-enzyme powder that gives mild manual-plus-enzymatic exfoliation in a 15-second wash. It suits flaky, tretinoin-dry, or makeup-prep routines. Dry or rosacea-prone skin can love it; overuse can sting.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Can sting reactive or rosacea skin if you overdo it
- People chasing low-pH cleansers complain about the pH
