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.
