The Rice Wash — Reddit Reviews
by Tatcha
Updated September 3, 2026
Gentle exfoliating cream cleanser hydrates and softens but contains irritants; pricey.
What the community says
This creamy cleanser gently exfoliates while keeping skin hydrated and soft, favored for dry and sensitive types. It suits those wanting a moisturizing yet effective wash but contains ethylhexylglycerin, causing reactions in sensitive users. It’s also quite expensive, lasting long with little product needed.
