THE FACE SHOP RICE&CERAMIDE MOISTURIZING CREAM 50ML

Dealing with skin that feels tight, flaky, or just plain uncomfortable can be frustrating. This rich, comforting cream is designed to provide deep, lasting moisture, helping to repair and strengthen your skin's natural barrier for a soft, healthy-looking glow. It's especially suited for Mauritius's drier winter months or for anyone whose skin feels parched from constant air-conditioning.

If your skin often feels dry, tight, or looks flaky, this cream offers a comforting dose of hydration. It uses a blend of rice-derived ingredients and ceramides to nourish the skin and fortify its protective barrier, preventing moisture loss.

• Texture: Rich, creamy, and smooth without being overly heavy.
• Finish: Leaves a soft, slightly dewy, and moisturized feel.
• Best For: Normal, Dry, and Dehydrated skin types.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturizes, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces flakiness, and improves skin softness.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always finish your morning routine with SPF 30+ to protect your skin.

Note: Already own a similar moisturizer? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. Hydrating Toner (Optional, like THE FACE SHOP Rice&Ceramide Moisturizing Toner, adds a layer of moisture)
3. THIS PRODUCT (Moisturizer)
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+ (Crucial for protecting your moisture barrier)

Wait times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers and 1-2 minutes after this cream before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser (Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen: use an oil cleanser then a foam/gel cleanser).
2. THIS PRODUCT (Moisturizer)
3. Facial Oil (Optional, for very dry skin, add a few drops after the cream to seal everything in).

Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest. This cream should be one of the final steps in your routine.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount for the face, plus another half-pea for the neck. A little goes a long way.
• Apply to: Face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: Scoop a small amount, warm it between your fingertips, then gently smooth over your skin. Pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening for best results.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very dry/AC exposure? Layer this cream over a hydrating toner or serum to lock in extra moisture.
• Under makeup? Apply a thin layer, wait 1-2 minutes for it to set, then proceed with sunscreen and primer. This minimizes pilling.
• Sensitive/reactive? Start by using it only at night for the first week to ensure your skin is happy before increasing to twice daily.

Watchouts: Pilling can occur if you apply too much product or don't wait long enough before your next step. If breakouts occur, this cream may be too rich for your skin type.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. For teens, focus on a simple routine of cleanser, this moisturizer, and sunscreen.

• Daily Use: This is a fundamental moisturizer designed to be used every morning (AM) and every evening (PM) as part of your core routine.
• With Actives: If you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids at night, this cream is an excellent final step to soothe, hydrate, and support your skin barrier. Apply it after your active has had time to absorb (wait 5-10 minutes).

Mauritius note: During the hot, humid summer, you might find this cream sufficient as a one-step moisturizer at night. In the drier winter, you can layer it more generously.

• Immediate: Skin feels softer, smoother, and more comfortable. Tightness from dryness is relieved.
• 2–4 weeks: You should notice improved overall hydration and a reduction in flaky patches. Your skin may appear plumper and have a healthy glow.
• 4–8+ weeks: With consistent use, your skin's moisture barrier should feel stronger and more resilient. The skin will feel less reactive and better able to retain moisture throughout the day.

Why use a balanced cream, not just plain oil?

While face oils are great for sealing in moisture (occlusion), they don't provide hydration (water) on their own. Applying oil to dry skin can sometimes make it feel more dehydrated underneath. A well-formulated cream like this one provides both humectants (like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate to draw water in) and emollients/occlusives (like Shea Butter and Rice Bran Oil to seal it). This balanced approach ensures your skin is both hydrated and moisturized, which is crucial for a healthy barrier.

• Works Well With: This cream is an excellent buffer and support product. It works well after most active ingredients like Vitamin C (in the AM), Retinoids (in the PM), and chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA). Applying it as the final step helps to lock in the treatment and reduce potential irritation.
• Use Carefully With: If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, layering this rich cream over other heavy products might feel occlusive and could lead to clogged pores.
• Avoid On: This is a face and neck cream. Avoid applying it directly to the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line.

• Excellent for: Normal, Dry, Dehydrated, Mature skin.
• Good for: Combination skin, especially on drier areas or during winter.
• Use with Caution: Oily and Acne-Prone skin types may find this cream too rich, potentially leading to clogged pores. A patch test is highly recommended. Not suitable for those with fungal acne concerns.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance (Parfum). The scent is often described as soft, powdery, and clean, similar to fresh laundry. Intensity is generally considered moderate but may be too strong for those sensitive to scents.
• EU Declared Allergens: This product contains several potential fragrance allergens that are required to be listed by the EU. These include: Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, and Linalool.

A patch test is strongly advised for individuals with fragrance sensitivities or known allergies.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with very oily, acne-prone, or fungal-acne-prone skin.
• Those with known sensitivities to fragrance or any of the listed EU allergens.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours. Do not wash the area.
3. If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, wash the area immediately and discontinue use.
4. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to apply to your face. Re-check the area at 72 hours for any delayed reaction.

• Texture: A classic cream texture—smooth, rich, but not overly thick or greasy. Spreads easily.
• Finish: Leaves a satin, moisturized finish with a subtle glow. It absorbs well but you can feel a light protective layer on the skin.
• Scent: A distinct soft, powdery, clean floral fragrance.
• pH: Not officially published, but typically creams of this type have a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is not considered fungal acne-safe. It contains ingredients like Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Glyceryl Stearate, and Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, which can potentially trigger Malassezia folliculitis. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: Product is pilling (rolling up into little balls).
• Quick Fix: You are likely using too much product or not allowing enough time between skincare steps. Use a smaller, pea-sized amount and wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
• Issue: I'm breaking out after using this cream.
• Quick Fix: This cream may be too occlusive for your skin type. Discontinue use on the face, but you can use it as a rich hand or body cream to avoid waste.
• Issue: My skin still feels a bit tight after using it.
• Quick Fix: Your skin may be very dehydrated. Try applying the cream to slightly damp skin or layer it over a hydrating toner/serum to lock in more water.

• Humid Summer: This cream might feel a bit heavy during the day for normal or combination skin types in peak Mauritian humidity. It can work well as a nourishing night cream. Oily skin types may find it too rich for summer use.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: This is where the cream excels. It's an excellent choice for the cooler, drier winter months to combat seasonal dryness. It is also perfect for anyone who spends long hours in air-conditioned environments, which can strip moisture from the skin.

— TheFaceShop India customer review (2023-11)

"Due to over chemical exfoliation my skin barrier got damaged and makes my skin extremely dry and falky, I started using this moisturizer and it healed my skin in 2 weeks. I love this moisturizer it makes the skin soo soft and hydrated without oily or sticky feeling."

— TheFaceShop India customer review (2022-02)

A user on iHerb found it to be a good daily moisturizer, noting: "The texture is not super thick. The scent is not strong, which is I really like... It is advisable in summer season as well because it's not greasy."

— iHerb customer review (2025-03, translated)

Fair Caveat: "Cream is good for people who has very dry skin and who don't go out much because its very greasy.. face looks oily too till evening." Another user mentioned that while it didn't cause breakouts, the "very strong generic scent" was a major drawback for them.

Is this cream good for oily skin?
It is generally considered too rich for most oily skin types, especially in a humid climate. We recommend it primarily for normal to dry skin. A patch test is a good idea if you have combination or acne-prone skin.

Does this cream help with brightening or dark spots?
While rice extract is known for its mild brightening properties, this cream is not a targeted treatment for hyperpigmentation. Its main function is deep moisturization and barrier support. For dark spots, we recommend pairing it with a dedicated brightening serum.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
Many with sensitive skin enjoy this cream, but it does contain fragrance and several potential allergens. If you have known fragrance sensitivities, we strongly recommend a patch test first or choosing a fragrance-free alternative like the Etude SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream.

Best For: Those with normal to dry skin seeking a reliable, deeply moisturizing cream to combat dryness, flakiness, and a compromised barrier.
