IM From Rice Glow Peel Off Mask 70g

Values: 100% Genuine · Fragrance-Free (per declared INCI) · Microplastic-Free · FA-Conditional (see Section 30B) · Halal-Friendly* · Vegan-Friendly*

If your skin has ever felt "waxy" or coated after a mask, this is the opposite experience — the film peels away clean, taking flaking skin and light debris with it, and does not require rinsing afterward.

Pros: No rinsing needed, satisfying tactile peel, fragrance-free, leaves niacinamide and ceramide behind on the skin. Caveats: The 40-minute dry time is a real time commitment; the brand's "1.1% Yeoju Rice Protein Complex" marketing claim does not line up cleanly with where the rice-protein ingredients sit in the declared INCI list (see Section 23); not a chemical exfoliant despite "peel" in the name.

Classification: GREEN — safe for all ages, including teens. Niacinamide is a well-tolerated, non-photosensitizing ingredient with no age restriction, and this mask contains no AHA/BHA, retinoid, or benzoyl peroxide.

The bright "glow" branding and satisfying peel-off ritual can appeal to younger users, but there is nothing here that requires adult supervision beyond normal patch-testing common sense.

Step 1 — When: AM or PM, 1-2 times per week, after cleansing and toning. Step 2 — How much: An even layer covering the whole face, roughly a heaped teaspoon. Step 3 — How: Spread evenly with fingers on clean, dry-to-slightly-damp skin, avoiding the eye area, eyebrows, lips, and hairline; let it air-dry undisturbed for about 40 minutes until translucent, then peel from the outer edges inward.

The One Rule: Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Gentle cleanser. 2. Toner (1-2 layers). 3. I'M FROM Rice Glow Peel Off Mask (if using this as your AM ritual day). 4. Moisturizer. 5. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++.

In Mauritius's humid mornings, apply the mask on slightly damp skin — the ambient moisture in the air slows the film's drying time only marginally, so budget the full 40 minutes regardless of humidity.

There is no photosensitizing ingredient here, so there is no AM restriction — but sunscreen still follows as the final step, mask day or not.

1. Oil cleanser (if wearing sunscreen/makeup). 2. Water cleanser. 3. Toner. 4. I'M FROM Rice Glow Peel Off Mask (bold anchor step, on mask nights). 5. Moisturizer.

This is not part of a 4-night skin-cycling rotation since it carries no exfoliating acid or retinoid lane — treat it as a standalone weekly ritual layered onto whichever night is otherwise your lightest routine.

Technique: Pat/press to spread evenly rather than rubbing, since rubbing a drying film introduces uneven thickness and patchy peeling. Do not touch or disturb the mask while it dries — pulling at a half-set film can tear it unevenly and tug at skin prematurely.

Required skin state: Clean, dry to lightly damp skin — excess surface oil can prevent the film from setting evenly. Wait time: approximately 40 minutes until the layer turns from creamy-white to translucent; this is a visual cue, not a fixed clock, since humidity and layer thickness both affect drying speed.

Hands vs. tools: Hands deliver 100% of product and give you tactile feedback on thickness — there is no cotton-pad application method for this format.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global execution rules: Viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serums 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes. Amount defaults: toner 5-8 drops per layer, serum 2-3 drops or 1 pump, eye product half a rice-grain per eye, gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas, sunscreen the two-finger rule. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/gentle cleanse (optional). 2. pH-prep toner (optional). 3. Hydrating toner layers (1-3, optional). 4. Essence (optional). 5. Mist (optional). 6. Booster/soothing serum (optional). 7. Antioxidant lane — pick one. 8. Pigment support lane — pick one. 9. Hydration serum lane. 10. Oil-control lane — pick one. 11. Peptide/repair lane. 12. Eye product. 13. Moisturizer. 14. Optional sealing layer (AC/dry days). 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). 16. Lip SPF.

"In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better."

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar pre-cleanse (optional). 2. Oil cleanser/balm (if SPF/makeup worn). 3. Water cleanser. 4. pH-prep toner. 5. Hydrating toner layers. 6. Essence. 7. Soothing/barrier serum. 8. [Anchor Product — this peel-off mask, on ritual nights]. 9. Targeted serum (only if non-conflicting). 10. Moisturizer. 11. Sleeping mask (skip on mask nights — pick one occlusive step). 12. Occlusive seal (optional). 13. Spot treatment (as needed). 14. Lip sleeping mask.

"Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night."

Lane strictness: One-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane (barrier/hydration) and reduce layers.

Rung: This is a standalone treatment mask, applied to clean skin before moisturizer — it does not slot into the normal thin-to-thick liquid ladder since it is peeled off entirely before the next step.

Phase compatibility: A water-based emulsion with a Polyvinyl Alcohol/Pullulan film-forming system, oil-phase emollients (Octyldodecanol, Jojoba Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), and a clay/silica finishing component (Kaolin, Silica) for smooth peel release.

Rheological note: The mask looks thick and creamy in the jar but spreads into a thin, even sheet on skin — judge thickness by full-face coverage, not by how much sits in a single spot.

Rest days: Space mask days at least 3-4 days apart even at the higher end of the 1-2x/week frequency, since repeated mechanical peeling on the same skin area can cause micro-irritation before it becomes visible.

Overuse warning: Exceeding 2x/week does NOT speed up results — it increases the odds of redness from the peel action and from over-thinning the surface layer of dead skin cells your barrier actually needs.

Prerequisites: Before starting this mask, your routine should already include a gentle cleanser and a daily moisturizer. Without a moisturized baseline, peeling a film off freshly dry skin can feel tight and uncomfortable.

Dullness and rough texture: the physical film-peel lifts loosely adherent dead skin cells and light surface debris on removal, giving an immediate smoother feel. Dehydration support: Niacinamide supports barrier function and mild brightening via reduced melanosome transfer, while Panthenol and Allantoin add surface comfort.

Secondary benefits: Ceramide NP is present (low list position, likely a supporting rather than headline dose) to help replace lipids disturbed by the peel action.

What this product cannot do: It cannot chemically exfoliate at depth the way an AHA/BHA does — this is surface-level mechanical lifting only. It cannot shrink pores or reverse deep pigmentation in one use, and repeated use will not "purge" skin faster than its natural turnover cycle allows.

Toner (pre-mask prep): Primary — I'M FROM Rice Toner 150ml, the brand's own biphasic rice-water toner, sets up the same rice-extract profile before the mask. Alternatives: Anua Rice 70 + Ceramide Glow Milky Toner 250ml, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner, Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner.

Moisturizer (post-mask seal): Primary — Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream 50ml, whose rice bran water and Niacinamide/Adenosine base mirrors this mask's actives. Alternatives: Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream 50ml, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream 75ml, IUNIK Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream 60ml.

Sunscreen (AM follow-up on mask mornings): Primary — SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml. Alternatives: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics 50ml, Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream 50ml, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus 50ml.

Pilling pairs: None expected — this is a rinse-free mask removed entirely before your next step, so there is no product left on skin to pill against subsequent layers.

MYTH: "A peel-off mask chemically exfoliates like an acid peel." REALITY: This is a physical film peel — it lifts loose surface debris mechanically as the dried film is removed, with no AHA/BHA acid doing chemical work underneath.

MYTH: "The more visible skin residue on the peeled film, the more 'dirt' it pulled out." REALITY: What you see on the film is mostly dead skin cells and product residue, not trapped dirt — a satisfying visual, not a diagnostic one.

MYTH: "You can leave a peel-off mask on longer for a stronger effect." REALITY: Once the film is fully dry (around 40 minutes), leaving it on longer only over-dries the skin underneath and makes the peel more uncomfortable, not more effective.

Hard water note: Since this is rinse-free, hard-water mineral residue is not a factor for this particular product — but follow with your normal toner if your local tap water tends to leave a tight, filmy feeling after cleansing.

*The rice-protein complex's marketed 1.1% figure is a brand claim we could not independently verify against this exact INCI's ingredient ordering — the corresponding entries sit near the very end of the list, which is unusual for a 1.1% concentration. Treat the rice-protein contribution as real but likely modest rather than headline-strength.

[--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Placed after Niacinamide — everything from Algin onward is estimated to sit below roughly 1% concentration; this is an estimate, not brand-disclosed.

Full INCI: Water, Octyldodecanol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Niacinamide, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Algin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Polysorbate 80, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Pullulan, Sphingomonas Ferment Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Panthenol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Adenosine, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Phytate, Tocopherol, Ceramide NP, Citric Acid, Soluble Proteoglycan, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Rice Amino Acids, Silica, Kaolin.

*This ingredient list was cross-referenced across two independent ingredient-database summaries rather than read directly from a single primary source this pass — treat as high-confidence but not a verified byte-for-byte primary read.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin — a mild, non-paraben glycol/glycerin-ether preservative-boosting combination common across modern K-beauty formulas.

Fragrance status: Fragrance-Free — no "Fragrance"/"Parfum" entry appears in the declared INCI.

Scent: Community and retailer descriptions mention a very faint, neutral cosmetic scent from the base ingredients themselves, not an added fragrance.

EU 26 allergen screen: None detected in the declared INCI.

Alcohol disclosure: Alcohol-Free — no denatured or drying alcohol appears in the ingredient list.

Halal: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-free: I'M FROM (owned by Wishtrend) states a brand-wide cruelty-free policy — ingredients and finished products not tested on animals, suppliers held to the same standard. *Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit.

Microplastic status: Microplastic-Free: Yes — no polyethylene, nylon, or acrylate microbeads detected in the declared INCI.

MFDS classification: Not confirmed as a registered Functional Cosmetic for this exact SKU — treat brightening/glow language as marketing description, not a verified regulatory claim.

Clinical evidence: No SKU-specific clinical trial was found for this mask's tone-brightening or texture claims. The mechanical peel-lift mechanism is physically plausible and ingredient-supported (real PVA film, real niacinamide), but the magnitude of visible "glow" improvement is brand/retailer marketing language.

Evidence confidence: Medium for the mechanical peel mechanism itself; Marketing-Only* for the specific "1.1% rice protein complex" percentage claim.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, and Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate are common FA-conditional emulsifiers/esters. Since this is a short-contact, fully-removed mask rather than a leave-on product, actual fungal-acne risk is likely lower than a leave-on formula with the same ingredients — but FA-prone users should still patch test.

Assessment: None. This product is removed entirely as a film before any subsequent skincare step, so there is no residual product on skin to interact with — and therefore no pilling risk with anything applied afterward.

Color baseline: Fresh product is off-white/cream. A yellowed or separated jar, or a sour/rancid smell replacing the neutral cosmetic scent, signals oxidation or spoilage.

Storage: Keep the jar's lid tightly closed between uses and store away from direct bathroom humidity and heat — Mauritius's ambient humidity can accelerate texture changes in an open jar faster than in a temperate climate.

Spoilage signs: Off odor, visible mold, separation that doesn't remix on stirring, or a texture that no longer sets into a peelable film. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: Apply a small amount to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then repeat behind the ear for another 24 hours before your first full-face use.

72-hour barrier reset: If you experience an adverse reaction — STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and do not attempt to self-treat.

1. Applying too thin a layer, which dries unevenly and tears on removal. 2. Peeling before the film is fully translucent, which pulls at skin prematurely. 3. Using it more than 2x/week chasing faster results. 4. Applying over active breakouts or broken skin. 5. Skipping moisturizer immediately after peeling, when skin can feel temporarily tight.

Overuse threshold: More than 2-3 uses per week risks cumulative micro-irritation from repeated mechanical peeling, even though no single use feels harsh.

Usage math: At roughly a heaped teaspoon per full-face application from a 70g jar, expect approximately 12-16 uses per container.

Lifespan: At the recommended 1-2x/week frequency, a single 70g jar lasts roughly 2-3 months; using it 3+ times weekly would deplete it in under 6 weeks without producing faster results.

Reorder timing: Plan to reorder about 2 weeks before you expect the jar to run out, to allow for standard Mauritius delivery timing.

This mask is a weekly "reset" ritual layered onto an otherwise normal cleanse-tone-moisturize routine, sitting after toner and before moisturizer once a week.

Numbered PM ritual night: 1. Cleanse. 2. Tone. 3. Rice Glow Peel Off Mask (40 min, peel off). 4. Moisturizer.

If your skin is barrier-compromised right now (stinging on plain moisturizer, visible flaking), skip the mask this week and use only gentle cleanser, barrier-repair moisturizer, and SPF until stable.

If you are prepping for a specific event (a wedding, a photo day), use the mask 2-3 days before rather than the same day, since any transient redness from peeling needs time to settle.

Bundle A — Weekly Glow Reset: I'M FROM Rice Toner 150ml + this mask + Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream 50ml. Use the toner nightly, the mask 1-2x/week, seal with the cream every night.

Bundle B — Sensitive-Skin Starter: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml + this mask + Dr.Althea 147 Barrier Cream 50ml, for a gentler cleanse-mask-seal sequence if you are new to peel-off masks.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with I'M FROM Rice Glow Peel Off Mask, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you want a rinse-off cream mask instead of a peel-off film (no waiting for a film to dry, less mechanical peel sensation), consider I'M FROM Rice Mask 110g — same brand, same rice-hero concept, but a wash-off format with real Rice Powder/Rice Hull Powder for physical exfoliation instead of a peel film.

If you specifically want another wrapping-style peel-off film mask, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Glow Wrapping Mask 100ml and MIGUHARA Rose Collagen Wrapping Peel-Off Mask Pack 60ml use the same film-forming mechanism with different hero actives (Centella vs. Collagen/Rose).

Choose I'M FROM Rice Glow Peel Off Mask over the Rice Mask 110g if you want: a no-rinse ritual with a satisfying tactile peel and zero risk of physical rice-particle scratchiness, since this format uses a film, not powder granules.

If you match these triggers, this format is worth choosing: IF you dislike gritty physical scrub textures, THEN this film mask avoids that entirely. IF you want a mask you can do while doing something else for 40 minutes (reading, a show), THEN the passive dry-time works in your favor rather than against it.

Don't upgrade to this format if: you want a faster mask routine under 15 minutes — the Rice Mask 110g's rinse-off format is quicker. If you have active breakouts you don't want to risk disturbing with a peel motion, the rinse-off mask is the gentler choice this week.

If you match 2 or more triggers above, this format is worth choosing. If not, the rinse-off alternative is sufficient and simpler. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: weekly mechanical resurfacing plus niacinamide/ceramide delivery via a peel-off film. You do NOT need this if you already own another peel-off film mask with a similar niacinamide/barrier-support profile — finish your current one before purchasing.

Inventory audit: Check whether you have an open peel-off or wash-off mask already in rotation; most masks carry a 6-12 month PAO once opened, so buying a duplicate while one sits half-used is wasted product.

Stacking assessment: Marginal Benefit if you already own a rice-hero toner or serum (overlapping rice-extract exposure, different delivery format). Significant Benefit if your current routine has no weekly resurfacing step at all.

Quick verification tips: Genuine I'M FROM packaging carries consistent Korean/English bilingual printing and a printed batch code on the jar base; if your jar's texture sets into a smooth, even film rather than staying tacky or never fully drying, that is consistent with the described formula.

Brand: I'M FROM. Parent Company: Wishtrend (also spelled Wish Company), South Korea. Headquarters: South Korea. Philosophy: "Nature as it is" — three stated promises of ingredient transparency, honest materials, and no harmful additives, with each product line disclosing the origin farm/region of its hero ingredient (this Rice line traces to Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province).

I'M FROM builds its catalog around single-hero-ingredient product lines rather than one overarching signature active — Rice for brightening/hydration, Mugwort for calming, Ginseng for anti-aging, Honey for nourishment, and Bija for oily-prone skin. This mask sits in the Rice line, positioned as the ritual/treatment format alongside the brand's toner and rinse-off mask in the same range.

Community reviews for this specific product were not yet available in our research at the time of writing — we located ingredient-safety aggregator summaries (Skinsort) and brand/retailer marketing copy, but no independently-verifiable, dated user review on Reddit, Amazon, or a retailer's review section that we could paraphrase honestly.

What we can say from the aggregated ingredient data: reviewers commonly associate this format with good compatibility for acne-prone, dry, and sensitive skin based on its ingredient profile, and retailer copy repeatedly describes a cooling on-application sensation. We will update this section as genuine, dated reviews become available.

Sustainability: Rinse the jar and check local recycling guidance for the plastic type before disposal; not a refillable format.

Does the peel actually hurt? No — a fully-dried film peels off with gentle pressure and should feel like light tension, not sharp pain. If it hurts, the film likely wasn't fully dry, or you're pulling too fast.

Can I use this if I have fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis)? Conditionally. The formula contains a few FA-conditional emulsifiers (see the Sensory and Chemical Profile section), but since the product is fully removed rather than left on skin, real-world risk is likely lower than a leave-on product with the same ingredients — patch test first.

Does it actually exfoliate like a chemical peel? No. This is a mechanical/physical peel via a dried film, not a chemical acid exfoliant — there is no AHA/BHA doing dissolving work underneath.

How often should I use it? 1-2 times per week, with at least 3-4 days between uses even at the higher end of that range.

Can I use it around my eyes or eyebrows? No — avoid the eye area, eyebrows, lips, and hairline, since the film can pull at hair and delicate skin on removal.

Film-forming agent

An ingredient (here, Polyvinyl Alcohol) that dries into a continuous, flexible layer that can be peeled off in one piece.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 derivative that supports the skin barrier, evens tone, and helps regulate oil production.

Mechanical exfoliation

Physically removing surface debris (via a peel, scrub, or brush) rather than dissolving it with acid.

Ceramide

A lipid naturally found in the skin barrier; applied topically, it helps replace lipids lost to environmental stress or over-cleansing.

Fairy dusting

Including a marketable ingredient at such a low concentration it likely has little real effect — mostly a marketing inclusion.

PAO (Period After Opening)

The number of months a product remains safe and effective to use once opened, shown as a jar icon with a number on the packaging.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: Anyone who wants a fuss-free, no-rinse weekly treatment ritual with real niacinamide and a satisfying mechanical peel, especially if you dislike gritty physical-scrub textures.

Key benefits: Fragrance-free formula, real niacinamide at a plausible non-trace dose, ceramide and panthenol for comfort, zero rinsing required.

Keep in mind: The 40-minute dry time is a genuine time commitment; the brand's specific "1.1% rice protein" marketing claim doesn't cleanly match this INCI's ingredient ordering, so treat the rice-hero framing as directionally true rather than a precise verified percentage; this is not a substitute for a real chemical exfoliant if that's what you're after.

Assessment: Suitable, with caution. The formula is fragrance-free and retinoid-free with a mild, non-paraben preservative system (1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin), which generally supports its use on treatment-sensitized skin.

The peeling action itself, not any single ingredient, is the main consideration — skin undergoing chemotherapy or radiation is often more fragile and can tear or bruise more easily during the peel step, so a gentler rinse-off mask (see Mindful Alternatives above) may be the more comfortable choice during active treatment.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Antioxidant pollution defense: Tocopherol and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E forms) are present in the declared INCI and offer real, if modest-dose, antioxidant support against environmental free-radical exposure — useful context if you use this mask on a day with heavy outdoor exposure beforehand, though its main job here is barrier comfort during the peel process rather than daily pollution defense.

Impact: Neutral to Supportive. Sphingomonas Ferment Extract is a fermentation-derived ingredient in this formula.

This is a POSTBIOTIC — a beneficial metabolite from fermentation, not a live bacterial culture. You are not applying live microbes to your skin; the fermentation filtrate primarily contributes film-forming and moisture-binding support alongside the Polyvinyl Alcohol base.
