A deeply nourishing cream formulated with twice-fermented red rice extract and vegan ceramides to deliver intense, long-lasting moisture and improve skin firmness. Its rich, buttery texture melts into the skin, strengthening the moisture barrier and leaving it plump, smooth, and resilient against the drying effects of both tropical sun and indoor air-conditioning in Mauritius.

Dealing with skin that feels tight, looks dull, or is losing its bounce can be frustrating. This firming cream provides a comforting, rich layer of moisture to restore vitality and suppleness.

• Skin Type: Best for Normal, Dry, Combination (especially in drier conditions), and Mature skin.
• Texture: Rich, soft cream with a buttery feel that absorbs without heavy greasiness.
• Key Benefits (Evidence: Brand test):
  • Provides deep, 100-hour lasting hydration.
  • Improves inner skin elasticity by up to 21.3% after two weeks.
  • Strengthens a damaged skin barrier by up to 94.5%.

1) Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.

2) HANYUL Red Rice Cream — 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: Start with a clean face.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): Adds a layer of hydration and helps the cream spread easily.
3. HANYUL Red Rice Cream: Apply a small, pea-sized amount.
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+: The most crucial step to protect skin and prevent aging.

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

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (oil cleanser first, then a water-based cleanser).
2. Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply any treatment serums (e.g., for brightening or calming) before the cream.
3. HANYUL Red Rice Cream: Apply a pea-sized to nickel-sized amount to lock in moisture and support overnight repair.

Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount for the face, plus a little extra for the neck. Adjust based on your skin's needs and the climate.
• Apply to: Face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Can be used once or twice daily. Start with PM use if you have combination or oilier skin.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Use a smaller amount or reserve this cream for PM use only.
• Very dry/AC environment? Layer over a hydrating toner or essence to boost moisture.
• Under makeup? Apply a thin layer and wait 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying SPF and primer. This helps prevent pilling.

Safety: Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a burning rash occurs. For teens, focus on a simple routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF; this cream is suitable as a moisturizer for normal to dry teen skin.

• Daily Use: This cream can be used every morning (AM) and/or evening (PM) as the final moisturizing step before sunscreen.
• When Using Actives: If you use strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids at night, this cream is an excellent, soothing moisturizer to apply afterwards to support your skin barrier.
• Mauritius note: During hot and humid summer months, you might prefer to use this cream only at night. In the drier, cooler winter or in air-conditioned spaces, using it AM and PM will provide welcome comfort and protection against dryness.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply moisturized, soft, and comfortable. Dry, tight sensations are relieved.
• 2–4 Weeks: Skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Texture appears smoother and skin has a healthier, nourished glow.
• 4–8+ Weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel firmer and more elastic. The appearance of fine lines caused by dryness is reduced.

• Choose This, Not That: Opt for this nourishing, barrier-supporting cream instead of relying on harsh physical scrubs or aggressive anti-aging treatments that can damage the skin barrier and worsen sensitivity over time. Healthy, firm skin starts with a strong moisture barrier.

• Works Well With: Hydrating toners, essences, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Peptides, and Retinoids (as a soothing final step).
• Use Carefully With: Layering too many heavy, oil-based products underneath in a humid climate may feel heavy or lead to congestion for some skin types.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to the immediate eye area unless your skin is not prone to milia.

• Excellent For: Dry, Mature, Normal skin types seeking deep moisture and firming benefits.
• Good For: Combination skin, especially as a night cream or during drier seasons.
• Use With Caution: Very oily and acne-prone skin types might find this cream too rich for daily use, particularly in humid weather. A patch test is recommended.

Key Actives Explained:

• Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake): A cornerstone of the formula, produced by fermenting Yeoju rice with red yeast for 360 hours. Fermentation breaks down molecules, increasing the bioavailability of amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens skin tone, improves the appearance of pores, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps regulate oil production. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a cell-communicating agent, energizing the skin's surface to look smoother and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)
• Vegan Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids: A trio of skin-identical lipids that work together to mimic the skin's natural moisture barrier, helping to repair damage, lock in moisture, and protect against external stressors. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter & Vegetable Squalane: Rich emollients that soften, smooth, and provide a protective occlusive layer to prevent moisture loss, ideal for dry or mature skin. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without a complete breakdown of the "Fragrance" component; patch test advised.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with very oily or acne-prone skin, as the rich texture might be too heavy.
• Those with known sensitivity to fragrance in skincare.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check at 48 and 72 hours to ensure there is no delayed sensitivity.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

• Texture: A rich, thick, yet soft cream that feels like buttery balm.
• Finish: Leaves a nourished, dewy, and radiant finish. It absorbs well for its richness, without feeling overly greasy.
• Scent: A light, pleasant floral and slightly nutty/herbal scent.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains ingredients like Glyceryl Stearate and Shea Butter which may be potential triggers for those with fungal acne. Patch testing is highly advised. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Cream feels too heavy or greasy.
  Fix: You may be using too much. Reduce the amount to a small pea-size. Apply to slightly damp skin to help it spread thinner, or reserve for PM use only.
• Issue: Product is pilling (rolling up into little balls).
  Fix: This is usually caused by applying too much product or not waiting long enough between layers. Use a smaller amount and wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
• Issue: Minor breakouts after starting.
  Fix: For some, a rich cream can cause congestion. Try using it only on drier areas of the face or reducing frequency to every other night to see if your skin adapts.

• Humid Summer: This cream may feel too rich for daytime use for many, especially those with combination or oily skin. It is an excellent choice as a nourishing night cream to repair and hydrate after a day in the sun.
• Drier Winter & Air-Conditioning: Perfect for both AM and PM use during the cooler, drier months. It provides a protective barrier against moisture loss caused by indoor AC, keeping skin plump and comfortable.

(Anecdote/Aggregated sentiment from online communities)

• Reddit review (paraphrased, 2021): A user with generally dehydrated skin praised the Hanyul Red Rice line, especially the toner for its rich, serum-like texture that leaves skin soft and supple. They noted it's excellent for drier skin types.
• Fair Caveat - Reddit review (paraphrased, 2021): The same user found the Red Rice Emulsion (a lighter version) to be surprisingly sticky and uncomfortable, even on their dry skin, suggesting the texture of the line can vary. The cream is generally better received for its nourishing feel.

HANYUL, a brand under the Amorepacific umbrella, is inspired by traditional Korean folk remedies and the wisdom passed down through generations of mothers. It reinterprets these time-tested natural ingredients—like red rice, yuja, and mugwort—through modern dermatological science. The brand's philosophy, "Meet the benefit of Korea's nature," focuses on creating gentle yet potent formulas that provide holistic, healing experiences for the skin.

• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient known for its skin-soothing and restoring properties. It helps decrease the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin's surface.
• Ceramides: Natural lipids (fats) found in the skin that form the moisture barrier. In skincare, they help replenish this barrier, keeping skin hydrated and protected.
• Fermentation: A process where microorganisms break down substances into smaller, more bio-available compounds. In skincare, it can increase the nutrient density and absorption of ingredients.
• Hanbang: Refers to traditional Korean herbal medicine. In skincare, it involves using time-tested herbal ingredients based on these principles.
• MFDS: The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea. "Functional Cosmetics" are products certified by the MFDS to have specific effects like brightening or wrinkle improvement.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten skin, improve barrier function, and calm inflammation.
• PAO (Period After Opening): An icon on packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") indicating how many months the product is safe and effective to use after being opened.

Is this cream suitable for oily skin?

It can be too rich for very oily skin, especially during the day in Mauritius's climate. It's better suited as a night cream for oily types or for use during the drier winter season.

The ingredient list does not contain Ethanol or Alcohol Denat. The fermentation is done with red yeast (Monascus purpureus), and the final product is formulated to be alcohol-free in the traditional sense.

Can I use this with my retinol or acid products?

Yes, absolutely. This cream is an excellent choice to use after strong actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids. Its barrier-supporting ingredients (ceramides, shea butter) can help soothe and moisturize the skin, reducing potential irritation.

No, reviews and brand descriptions indicate a light, pleasant, and warm floral/herbal scent that is not overpowering and fades after application.
