Treat your skin to the nourishing goodness of 100% Japanese rice extracts with this cult-favorite wash-off mask. Designed to minimize the appearance of pores, hydrate thirsty skin, and leave your complexion feeling baby-soft and smooth, it's a gentle yet effective boost suitable for most skin types experiencing dryness, dullness, or textural concerns in Mauritius's climate.

If your skin feels dry, looks dull, or you're bothered by visible pores and rough texture, this mask offers a quick, hydrating refresh.

• Best For: Normal, Combination, Dry, or Dehydrated Skin.
• Helps With: Minimizing the look of pores, improving rough texture, hydrating dryness, boosting radiance.
• Key Ingredients: Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Rice Bran Oil, Rice Ceramides, Rice Bran Extract.
• Texture & Feel: Thick, soft paste similar to cooked rice; rinses off easily without residue.
• When to Use: 1-3 times per week, after cleansing, before toner/serum steps.
• Expected Results: Instantly softer, smoother, more hydrated skin. Pores may appear less noticeable immediately after use due to hydration and smoothing. Gradual improvement in texture and brightness with consistent weekly use.

Weekly Use — As needed (Evening recommended):

• Amount: Use a generous amount (about the size of a large grape) to cover the face, avoiding eyes and lips.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed, slightly damp or dry skin.
• Method: Spread evenly over the face. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, gently massaging as you rinse.
• Frequency: Start 1-2 times per week. You can increase to 3 times per week if your skin feels it needs the extra hydration and smoothing, especially during drier periods or when using AC heavily.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very dry/flaky skin? Use 2-3 times per week and follow immediately with a hydrating toner and rich moisturizer while skin is still damp.
• Concerned about pores? Focus application on areas like the nose and cheeks where pores are more visible. Gentle massage during rinse-off can help slightly.
• Sensitive skin? Leave on for only 5 minutes initially to gauge tolerance. This mask is generally gentle, but patch testing is always wise.
• Using exfoliants (AHA/BHA)? Use this mask on nights you are *not* using strong chemical exfoliants to avoid potential over-stimulation.

Watchouts: Not rinsing thoroughly can leave a slight film; ensure all product is removed. Don't let the mask dry completely hard on the skin.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if significant irritation occurs. Suitable for teens experiencing dryness or dullness.

This is a wash-off mask, best used 1-3 times per week in the evening after cleansing.

Example Weekly Schedule (Evening Focus):

• Mon: Gentle routine (Cleanse, Hydrating Toner, Serum, Moisturizer)
• Tue: KEANA Nadeshiko Rice Mask after cleansing, then follow with usual routine.
• Wed: Gentle routine
• Thu: Exfoliant night (if using AHA/BHA/Retinoid - skip Rice Mask)
• Fri: Gentle routine
• Sat: KEANA Nadeshiko Rice Mask (optional second use), followed by routine.
• Sun: Gentle routine or optional Sleeping Pack night.

Rules:

• Use the Rice Mask on nights when you are *not* using strong chemical exfoliants (like high-percentage AHAs, BHAs, or Retinoids) to avoid potential irritation from combining treatments.
• It pairs well after gentle cleansing and before applying your hydrating toners, serums, and moisturizers.

Mauritius Note: In very humid weather, you might use it just once a week for texture smoothing. In drier conditions or if using air conditioning frequently, using it 2-3 times can help combat dehydration.

• Immediately: Skin feels noticeably softer, smoother, and hydrated after rinsing. Surface dryness and flakiness are reduced. Pores may appear slightly less prominent due to the plumping hydration.
• Within 2-4 Weeks (using 1-2x/week): Texture continues to feel smoother. Skin maintains hydration better between uses. May notice a subtle increase in brightness or "glow" as dead skin buildup is gently managed.
• Beyond 8 Weeks: Consistent use contributes to overall skin softness and suppleness. While it won't permanently shrink pores, keeping them hydrated and the surrounding skin smooth helps maintain their minimized appearance. Helps maintain a healthy moisture balance, especially beneficial in Mauritius's variable humidity and AC environments.

Note: Results are cumulative and depend on consistent use alongside a suitable daily routine, including daily sunscreen. This mask primarily provides hydration and textural smoothing; significant brightening or pore size reduction requires targeted active ingredients in serums or treatments.

• Why this mask, not harsh physical scrubs for pores? Aggressive scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles) can cause micro-tears and irritation, potentially worsening pore appearance and leading to inflammation or dark spots (PIH), especially in Mauritius's sunny climate. This rice mask gently smooths texture through hydration and mild rice particles, without damaging the skin barrier.
• Why this mask, not DIY rice water alone? While rinsing with rice water offers some benefits, a formulated mask like this contains concentrated extracts, nourishing oils (Rice Bran Oil), and hydrating agents (like Glycerin) in a stable base. This provides more intensive and consistent hydration and smoothing effects than a simple DIY rinse, along with beneficial lipids and ceramides for barrier support.

This wash-off mask is generally compatible with most skincare routines.

Works Well With:

• Hydrating Toners & Essences: Apply these immediately after rinsing off the mask while skin is damp to lock in moisture (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid, Centella, Snail Mucin based products).
• Gentle Cleansers: Use before the mask to ensure skin is clean.
• Most Serums & Moisturizers: Follow the mask with your usual serums (Niacinamide, Vitamin C - though maybe not immediately after if sensitive) and moisturizer to complete the routine.

Use Carefully With:

• Strong Chemical Exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, Retinoids): Avoid using this mask on the *exact same night* as a strong peel or high-concentration active. Use on alternate nights or allow a day in between to prevent potential over-stimulation or irritation.

Avoid On:

• Broken or Irritated Skin: Do not apply to open wounds, active rashes, or severely sunburned skin.
• Eyes and Lips: The formula is not intended for these delicate areas.

• Dry / Dehydrated Skin: Excellent. Provides much-needed moisture and helps smooth away dry flakes.
• Normal Skin: Great. Helps maintain hydration and smooth texture for a healthy glow.
• Combination Skin: Very Good. Hydrates drier areas and can help balance texture without being too heavy for oilier zones. Can be focused on cheeks/drier areas if T-zone is very oily.
• Oily Skin: Good, with caution. While hydrating, the creamy texture might feel a bit rich if you prefer very lightweight products. Use maybe once a week focused on texture/dullness rather than multiple times. Follow with oil-free hydrators.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally Good. It's formulated to be gentle. However, as with any product, patch testing is recommended, especially if you have known sensitivities. Contains parabens, which some sensitive individuals avoid.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Use with caution. It's not specifically formulated to treat acne. While generally non-comedogenic for most, the richer texture could potentially be problematic for highly congested skin. Focus on hydration benefits; monitor skin's response.

This mask primarily helps with:

• Dryness & Dehydration: Instantly replenishes moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
• Rough Skin Texture: Smooths the skin's surface, reducing feelings of roughness or unevenness.
• Dullness: Helps reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion by hydrating and gently managing dead skin cells.
• Visible Pores (Appearance): Hydrates and plumps the skin, which can make pores appear temporarily smaller or less noticeable.

It is less effective for directly treating active acne, deep wrinkles, significant hyperpigmentation, or rosacea, though the hydration it provides can support overall skin health which indirectly benefits these concerns.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake): Rich in amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. Helps to hydrate, brighten, and gently condition the skin. Fermentation can enhance nutrient bioavailability.
• Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa Bran Oil): A nourishing oil packed with antioxidants (like Vitamin E and Gamma Oryzanol) and fatty acids. Moisturizes and helps protect the skin barrier.
• Rice Bran Extract (Oryza Sativa Bran Extract): Contains phytic acid (a mild exfoliant) and other compounds that can help brighten and smooth skin texture.
• Sphingolipids (Rice Ceramides): Lipids derived from rice that help replenish the skin's natural barrier, improving moisture retention and reducing sensitivity.
• Glycerin: A fundamental humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.

Full INCI List (Typical): Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Behenyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Sodium Polyacrylate Starch, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Phenoxyethanol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Dextrin, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Butylene Glycol, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Sphingolipids, Phospholipids, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylyl Glycol, Ceramide NP.

(Note: Ingredient lists may vary slightly depending on manufacturing batch or regional formulation adjustments. Always check the product packaging for the most current list.)

Preservative System: Uses Methylparaben, Propylparaben, and Phenoxyethanol.

Alcohol Clarifier: Contains Behenyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol, which are fatty alcohols – these are generally non-irritating and act as emollients/thickeners, unlike drying alcohols (like Ethanol or Alcohol Denat., which are absent here).

• Fragrance Status: No Added Fragrance. The mask has a very faint, natural scent often described as similar to cooked rice or sake, derived from the ingredients themselves. Intensity: 1/5 (Very Mild).
• EU Allergens: None explicitly listed based on typical INCI. However, natural extracts can contain trace compounds. Patch testing is always recommended for highly sensitive individuals.
• Potential Irritants: Contains Methylparaben and Propylparaben, which some individuals prefer to avoid due to sensitivity concerns or personal preference, although they are approved and considered safe at cosmetic concentrations by regulatory bodies. Phenoxyethanol is another preservative present.

Who Should Use: Suitable for adults and teens looking for hydration and texture improvement.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with very sensitive skin or known allergies to parabens or specific botanical extracts should patch test first.
• Those with highly acne-prone or congested skin should monitor closely to ensure the creamy texture doesn't exacerbate breakouts.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount (pea-size) of the mask to a discreet area of clean skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner forearm.
2. Leave on for the recommended time (5-10 minutes), then rinse off.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, burning, or rash.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Re-check the area at 72 hours for any delayed reaction.

If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. Cleanse the area gently and apply a basic, soothing moisturizer. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, or eczematous skin.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on its ingredients (primarily rice derivatives and standard cosmetic bases). Contains parabens, which some prefer to avoid during pregnancy out of caution, though regulatory bodies deem them safe in cosmetics. Consult your doctor if you have concerns.

• Texture: A thick, soft, slightly grainy paste. Feels substantial but spreads easily. Similar to thick, smooth mashed rice or congee.
• Finish During Use: Stays moist on the skin for the recommended 5-10 minutes; does not dry down hard like a clay mask.
• Feel After Rinsing: Skin feels exceptionally soft, smooth, plump, and hydrated. No greasy or sticky residue if rinsed properly.
• Scent Profile: Very faint, natural rice/sake scent. Barely noticeable for most.
• pH Level: Likely formulated around pH 5.5 - 6.5 (mildly acidic to neutral) to be gentle on the skin barrier, though exact pH is not published by the brand.
• Comedogenicity/FA Safety: Generally considered non-comedogenic due to its primary ingredients. Contains Cetyl Alcohol and Stearic Acid which have low comedogenic ratings but could potentially be an issue for extremely sensitive individuals. Appears *potentially* Fungal Acne (Malassezia) safe based on common triggers (lacks problematic oils like olive/coconut, polysorbates, or fatty acid esters), but contains Polysorbate 60 which *can* be a trigger for some. Patch test advised if FA-prone. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Skin feels slightly tight after rinsing.
  • Solution: You might be leaving it on too long, or your skin is very dehydrated. Reduce wear time to 5 minutes. Immediately follow with a hydrating toner/essence while skin is still damp, and seal with a good moisturizer.
• Issue: Small bumps or breakouts after use.
  • Solution: Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly – residual product could potentially clog pores. If breakouts persist, the formula might be too rich for your skin type, or you may be sensitive to an ingredient. Discontinue use or reduce frequency to once weekly and monitor.
• Issue: Not seeing significant pore reduction.
  • Solution: Manage expectations. This mask improves pore *appearance* through hydration and smoothing, it doesn't structurally shrink pores. For more noticeable pore refinement, consistent use of BHA (Salicylic Acid) exfoliants or retinoids might be needed in your routine, alongside this mask for hydration.
• Issue: Mask dries out too quickly on the skin.
  • Solution: Apply a slightly thicker layer. You can also use it in a humid environment (like after a shower) to help it stay moist longer.

• Humid Summer Months: Use 1-2 times per week. The hydration boost is welcome, but the creamy texture might feel a bit heavy in intense humidity. Focus on its smoothing benefits. Ensure thorough rinsing. Can be particularly nice after a day in the sun (if not burned) to replenish moisture.
• Drier Winter Months / Indoors with Air Conditioning: Use 2-3 times per week. Excellent for combating dryness caused by cooler air or constant AC exposure. Helps prevent flaky patches and keeps skin feeling comfortable and plump.
• General Use: Its gentle nature makes it suitable year-round for maintenance. A great way to quickly boost hydration and softness whenever skin feels lackluster or rough due to environmental shifts.

• Ingredient Rationale: The formula relies on the known benefits of rice derivatives in skincare. Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake) is rich in amino acids and kojic acid precursors, associated with hydration and brightening effects in traditional Asian skincare. Rice Bran Oil provides moisturizing fatty acids and antioxidant Vitamin E. Rice Ceramides (Sphingolipids) are structurally similar to skin's own lipids and help reinforce the moisture barrier (Ingredient Rationale).
• Brand Claims vs. Independent Data: Claims regarding hydration, smoothing, and pore appearance are primarily based on ingredient properties and likely supported by brand-conducted consumer perception tests. No independent clinical trials validating the specific efficacy of this mask formula were found in peer-reviewed dermatological literature (Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification).
• Mechanism: The mask works by delivering intense hydration (Glycerin, Rice Ferment, Hyaluronate) which plumps the skin temporarily, softening texture and making pores less obvious. Emollients (Rice Bran Oil, fatty alcohols) smooth the surface. Rice extracts offer mild conditioning. It's primarily a hydrating and cosmetic smoothing treatment.

*Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable hydrating or smoothing mask at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results before purchasing a new one.

• Packaging: Typically comes in a 170g soft plastic tube or sometimes a tub. Easy to dispense.
• Hygiene/Stability: Tube format is generally more hygienic than tubs. Keep cap closed tightly to prevent drying out. Formula contains preservatives for stability.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The plastic tube/tub may be recyclable depending on local facilities (check plastic type number, often #5 PP or #2 HDPE). Rinse container thoroughly before recycling. Outer packaging (if any) is likely paper/cardboard, widely recyclable.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat (like a bathroom cabinet or drawer). Avoid storing in the shower where moisture can enter.
• Travel: The tube format is relatively travel-friendly. Decanting into a smaller travel jar is also an option.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities (unbiased, real-user feedback):

• Positive Feedback: Many users praise the mask for making their skin feel incredibly soft and smooth immediately after use. "My skin felt like a baby's bottom after rinsing!" (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2024-05). It's frequently cited for improving skin texture and providing noticeable hydration, making skin look plump and reducing the appearance of dry patches. "Instantly hydrates and gives a subtle brightening effect." (YesStyle review, 2024-08).
• Pore Appearance: Users often mention pores looking smaller or less visible right after use, attributed to the hydrating and smoothing effect. "Definitely noticed my pores looked tighter and skin was brighter." (Amazon customer review, 2024-02).
• Gentleness: Generally well-tolerated, even by some with sensitive skin, due to its mild formula.
• Fair Caveats: Some users find the effects pleasant but temporary, primarily providing surface hydration and softness rather than long-term changes in pores or significant brightening compared to active serums. "It's a nice hydrating mask, but don't expect miracles for deep pore issues." (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2024-01). A few mention it didn't do much for their very oily skin or felt slightly basic compared to masks with more active ingredients.

Ishizawa Laboratories is a Japanese company known for creating unique and effective skincare products often focusing on specific concerns like pore care (the "KEANA" line translates to "pore"). Their Nadeshiko line, featuring the iconic character, centers around the traditional benefits of Japanese rice for achieving smooth, hydrated, and refined skin. They blend natural ingredients with simple, effective formulations, often gaining cult status through word-of-mouth for delivering visible results at an accessible price point.

• INCI: International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients - the standardized list of ingredients you see on product packaging.
• MFDS: Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (South Korea). Regulates cosmetics, including functional claims like brightening or wrinkle improvement. (This product is Japanese, so MFDS classification doesn't directly apply but standards are similar).
• Non-Comedogenic: Formulated in a way that is less likely to clog pores.
• PAO: Period After Opening symbol (looks like an open jar with a number like "12M") indicating how many months the product is good for after opening.
• Parabens: A class of preservatives used to prevent microbial growth in cosmetics. Considered safe by regulatory bodies but avoided by some consumers.
• Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake): Liquid byproduct of rice fermentation, rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals beneficial for skin hydration and conditioning.

Is this mask suitable for daily use?

It's generally recommended for use 1-3 times per week. Daily use might be too much for some skin types, especially if oily, and isn't necessary to see benefits.

Can I use this if I have acne?

It's primarily hydrating and smoothing, not an acne treatment. While gentle, its creamy texture might not be ideal for very congested skin. If you try it, monitor your skin's reaction. Focus application on non-breakout areas if concerned.

Does it contain real rice grains?

The texture is soft and paste-like, not gritty with large rice grains. It contains various processed forms of rice (ferment, oil, extract, ceramides) for skincare benefits.

Will it actually shrink my pores?

No topical product can permanently shrink pores. This mask can make pores *appear* smaller temporarily by hydrating the skin (plumping the surrounding tissue) and smoothing the surface texture.

Is it okay to leave it on longer than 10 minutes?

Sticking to the recommended 5-10 minutes is best. Leaving wash-off masks on too long, especially as they start to dry, can sometimes lead to mild irritation or tightness for some skin types.

Best For: Those seeking immediate softness, smoothness, and hydration, especially if experiencing dryness, dullness, or rough texture.

Key Benefits:

• Instantly hydrates and plumps the skin.
