The Rice Polish: Classic Foaming Enzyme Exfoliant Powder — Reddit Reviews
by Tatcha
Updated September 23, 2026
Foamy enzyme powder exfoliant that smooths flakes and softens texture; surprisingly gentle.
What the community says
A foamy rice-enzyme powder cleanser that gives light exfoliation without the scratchy scrub feel. People reach for it on flaky, tretinoin-parched, or texture-prone skin. The trade-off is the usual enzyme-powder gripe: some find the pH too high and the bottle clumpy.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Can feel too alkaline for low-pH obsessives
- Not loved by everyone with rosacea or irritation
- Clumps for some and the bottle is pricey
