"This is one that I wanted to call out as a misunderstood product. It's actually a combination of rice and clay. There is a clay component to this toner and that is what most folks misunderstand about this product. A lot of folks who are looking at milky toners because they want moisture in their skin, maybe their skin is feeling a little dry or dehydrated, are going to be disappointed by this product because the clay content actually means that it's sucking up oil on the skin."

"This probably would be okay for you, just keep your eye out on that clay because it could end up being too much in the end. That really unique addition of clay does actually in my personal opinion narrow the audience and who's going to really appreciate and enjoy and benefit from this type of toner. My personal rating on this is going to be a seven out of 10. I do think it's a really good product, but just remember it's not going to be for every skin type."

"Beauty of Joseon has this rice toner that is like so barebones basic formula, but like that's actually what you could use it for because it's almost like water."

That's what I do when I'm traveling and my skin's a little bit drier."

"I'm using the Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk with a DHC cotton pad. This is a nice watery toner which I kind of use just to remove any leftover skin care products."

Rice Toner Versus 🆚 I'm From Rice Toner VS Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk Toner

"Beauty of Joseon is nicely hydrating and soothing. In my opinion, it's probably best for dry to very dry skin types. They say this one helps with pores but it doesn't, it won't. It may absorb oil a little bit but it can't purify pores or anything like that. I would say those with drier skin would probably end up enjoying this one a bit more than those with oilier skin. [...] In terms of texture, it has more of a water-light texture and a hydrating finish that's slightly more natural."

"The Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk is 18 bucks, and in my opinion is great for oilier skin types and acne prone skin types. It has kinetin in there, which is kind of an oil absorbent ingredient, so that's why I say it's probably best for oilier skin types because it does leave it moisturized but soaks up all that extra oil at the same time."

Beauty of Joseon New! Glow Replenishing Rice Milk Toner First Impressions Review

"The ingredients are mostly slip ingredients, which is typical to see, and then the first main ingredient is the panthenol, which is nice. [...] Maybe a few more brightening ingredients might have made it a little bit more exciting than just relying on the licorice, [...] but I get it. [...] Overall it's nice, I like it, it feels nice on my skin, and I'll definitely continue to use it. [...] I've already repurchased this twice, so that obviously says something."

"The sticky finish is the biggest turnoff. [...] When I use it in my morning routine it gives me enough hydration, especially now that we're in the summer, that I don't find myself needing to apply a bunch of serums or moisturizers to keep my skin hydrated. Typically I'll just apply this and then a sunscreen moisturizer and it seems to be enough right now. Obviously in the winter that's going to be different, [...] but at this point for the summer it's pretty nice and I'm really enjoying it."

"This is a two-layer toner, so before you use it you have to shake it. It looks like a milky toner with cream inside it, but it's different from what you'd expect, it doesn't give you any glow. For oily or combo skin, even following the instructions, I didn't feel anything effective from it. It's no good for pores either. They tried to make it a two-layer rice toner that's supposed to be more creamy, but it wasn't. I don't think I'm going to finish this one."

"The rice toner is a milky toner that absorbs slower and sits on the skin longer than watery toners, so you need to take enough time to absorb it by tapping it in. It says it's for oily or combo skin, but for those skin types I think a watery toner like their ginseng toner works better because it absorbs quickly and is lightweight. This one is too drying for dry skin, so it's not good for everyone. I'm passing on this one."

"The moisture layer has rice extract that moisturizes the skin, and what's unique is the powder layer, it absorbs oil and purifies pores. For my dry skin it still felt dry even after I applied a few layers. They say it's great for oily and combo skin, so if your skin is similar to mine, pass on this one, it's not as lightweight as the other water type toners. But if you have oily skin and want a toner that works more on hydration than just a watery toner, try this."

"Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk is so so so good. It's lightweight, it's elegant, it's everything you want from a hydrating milky toner, but it's also got some enzymes here that are going to gently exfoliate the skin and smooth it out. It's got a touch of kolin in here which is going to be great if you're super oily and acne prone, it's going to minimize any breakouts but also have some anti-inflammatory benefits."

"Shaken up, it feels like a lighter weight [...] toner with a bit of milkiness to it. [...] This was an exciting release for me [...] because the brand said this is a line for [...] acne prone and sensitive skin, and [...] they're saying it hydrates and the rice ingredient is gentle for sensitive skin, [...] but there's still some odd choices to me in this one, I'm perplexed by the anti-perspirant ingredient in a toner meant for sensitive skin."

"This is perfect. You have those barrier repairing and loving ingredients like ceramides and nice calming ones like panthenol and centella and something called Coffea japonica root extract which is a medicinal herb to help soothe inflamed skin. It's a very very nice toner. Honestly though I do wish it was a little bit thicker. At first I didn't want to use it because it looks so watery, like almost too watery."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
