The Rice Polish: Classic Foaming Enzyme Exfoliant Powder — Reddit Reviews
by Tatcha
Updated September 30, 2026
Gentle enzyme powder that cuts flakes and smooths pores; morning-friendly.
What the community says
A foaming rice-and-enzyme exfoliant that people use for flaky tret skin, rough patches, and pre-makeup smoothness. It suits folks who want very mild exfoliation, not anyone chasing a scrubby feel. High pH complaints and irritation reports keep it out of rosacea flares.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Can feel too high-pH for low-pH cleanser fans
- Not for rosacea flares or irritated skin
- Some people still get clumping or irritation
