The Rice Wash — Reddit Reviews
by Tatcha
Updated November 10, 2026
Creamy rice-powder cleanser leaves skin soft without tightness; expensive and fragranced.
What the community says
A creamy rice-powder cleanser with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate that leaves skin soft rather than tight. Dry skin tends to love the cushiony foam, though fragrance and essential oils can aggravate reactive faces.
