A creamy, gentle scrub foam that uses fine, natural rice powder to buff away dead skin cells and impurities. Infused with Cheorwon Odae rice bran water, it helps to brighten and clarify your complexion without the harshness of typical scrubs, making it an excellent choice for managing dullness in Mauritius' warm and humid climate.

Struggling with dull skin, uneven texture, or clogged pores from daily life in the tropics? This scrub foam offers a gentle solution.

• What it is: A rich foaming cleanser with micro-fine rice powder for daily exfoliation.
• Who it's for: Best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types. Use with caution on very dry or sensitive skin.
• What it does: Cleanses away impurities, removes dead skin cells, and promotes a brighter, more radiant skin tone.
• Key Benefit: Achieves a smoother, brighter complexion without stripping the skin, leaving it soft and refreshed.

For a refreshed and brighter start to your day or a clean slate at night:

1. Cleanse: Lather a nickel-sized amount of SKINFOOD Rice Scrub Foam with water and gently massage onto your face. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Hydrate: Follow with a hydrating toner or serum to replenish moisture.
3. Protect (AM) / Moisturise (PM): Finish with your daily sunscreen in the morning or a suitable moisturiser in the evening.

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

A morning cleanse to start fresh and bright.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) THIS PRODUCT → 2) Hydrating Toner (optional, for extra moisture) → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: If you have pigmentation concerns, add a Vitamin C serum after cleansing and before sunscreen. If your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, apply a light moisturiser before it.
• Wait times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen.

A thorough cleanse to wash away the day's impurities.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Oil Cleanser (if wearing makeup/water-resistant SPF) → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Moisturiser
• Optional: If you use a separate chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA), consider alternating nights. Don't use this scrub on the same night as a strong chemical peel.
• Texture rule: After cleansing with this foam, apply your skincare from thinnest to thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A nickel-sized amount is sufficient.
• Apply to: Damp face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Method: Add water and lather into a rich foam. Gently massage onto the skin in circular motions, concentrating on areas with texture or clogged pores. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Although named "Daily," we recommend starting 2-3 times per week to assess your skin's tolerance to physical exfoliation. You can gradually increase to once daily if your skin responds well without irritation or tightness.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Focus your gentle massage on the nose, chin, and forehead to help manage blackheads.
• Feeling a bit dry after use? You may be using it too frequently. Reduce to 2-3 times per week and follow immediately with a hydrating toner like the I'M FROM Rice Toner.
• Sensitive/reactive skin? Use with very light pressure and limit use to once or twice a week as a gentle exfoliating treatment.

Safety: Avoid using on active, inflamed acne or broken skin. Stop if you experience a burning rash or persistent irritation. For teens, this is a good introductory scrub, but should not be used on painful acne breakouts.

This product can be used as your daily cleanser, but listen to your skin. If you use other exfoliants, it's wise to create a balanced schedule.

• As a Daily Cleanser (for tolerant, oily/combination skin):
  • Daily: Use AM and/or PM as the cleansing step in your routine. Skip other physical scrubs.
• As a Gentle Exfoliant (for most skin types):
  • Example week: Mon Gentle Cleanser · Tue THIS PRODUCT · Wed Gentle Cleanser · Thu THIS PRODUCT · Fri Gentle Cleanser · Sat THIS PRODUCT · Sun Gentle Cleanser
  • Rule: On nights you use a strong leave-on acid (like The Ordinary Glycolic Acid), you might prefer a non-scrub cleanser to avoid over-exfoliation.

Mauritius Note: In the humid summer, daily use might feel perfect for keeping pores clear. During the drier winter months, you might prefer to use it less frequently to avoid stripping natural oils.

Safety: If you notice redness, tightness, or sensitivity, reduce the frequency. Your skin barrier's health comes first.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly softer, smoother, and exceptionally clean without feeling stripped. Surface texture is refined.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, skin appears visibly brighter and more radiant. Dullness is reduced, and complexion looks clearer.
• 4–8+ weeks: Overall skin tone appears more even. The appearance of post-acne marks may be diminished due to regular, gentle exfoliation. Skin maintains a smoother, more polished texture.

Why use a formulated scrub foam, not a harsh DIY scrub?

• Myth: "A scrub with sugar or salt from my kitchen is natural and works just as well."
• Truth: DIY scrubs like sugar or salt have sharp, irregular crystals that can cause micro-tears on the delicate skin of your face. This damage can lead to irritation, a compromised skin barrier, and even worsen post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The SKINFOOD Rice Scrub Foam uses micro-fine, rounded rice powder that gently polishes the skin, effectively removing dead cells without the risk of scratching and irritation. It's a safer, gentler, and more effective way to exfoliate.

As a rinse-off product, this scrub foam is compatible with most skincare routines.

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, and Panthenol. Following this cleanse with a nourishing toner or serum will maximize your glow.
• Use Carefully With: Other strong exfoliants. If you use a high-concentration AHA, BHA, or Retinoid product in the evening, consider using a non-exfoliating cleanser on those nights to prevent over-stripping your skin barrier.
• Avoid On: Do not use on broken skin, active inflammatory acne, or immediately after a professional peel or laser treatment.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Effectively removes excess sebum and keeps pores clear without being overly harsh.
• Combination Skin: Very good. Helps manage oiliness in the T-zone while gently polishing the entire face.
• Normal Skin: Good. A great option for weekly or bi-weekly exfoliation to maintain brightness and smooth texture.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. May be too stripping if used daily. Best used 1-2 times a week, followed immediately by rich hydrating products.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. While the particles are fine, physical exfoliation can be a trigger for some. A patch test is highly recommended.

Individual responses vary. Always patch test before full use.

A patch test is always advised for sensitive or reactive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with very dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin, as physical exfoliation can sometimes be too stimulating.
• Those with active, inflamed acne breakouts should avoid scrubbing the affected areas.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the foam to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your jawline.
2. Lather, rinse, and pat dry as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation such as redness, itching, or burning.
4. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Texture: A thick, creamy paste with very fine, non-abrasive scrub particles.
• Lather: Emulsifies with water to create a dense, rich foam.
• Finish: Rinses clean, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, without a tight or stripped feeling for most skin types.
• pH: As a foaming cleanser containing Potassium Hydroxide for saponification, the pH is likely in the alkaline range (estimated 8.0-9.5). While effective for cleansing, this is higher than the skin's natural acidic pH. Following up with a pH-balancing toner is recommended.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains potential triggers such as Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil. If you are prone to fungal acne, a patch test is highly advised.

• Issue: My skin feels tight or dry after using it.
  • Solution: You may be using it too frequently for your skin type. Reduce use to 2-3 times a week. Always follow immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturizer to replenish your skin's moisture barrier. The alkaline pH can contribute to a tight feeling if not re-balanced.
• Issue: I'm not seeing a big difference in my dark spots.
  • Solution: This scrub is excellent for surface dullness and texture, which brightens the overall complexion. For targeted, deeper pigmentation like sun spots or stubborn melasma, a scrub alone is not enough. You will need to incorporate a targeted brightening serum containing ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, or Arbutin into your routine.

• Humid Summer: This scrub foam is an excellent choice for Mauritius' hot and humid season. It effectively cuts through sweat, oil, and sunscreen residue, helping to prevent the clogged pores and dullness that can result from the climate.
• Drier Winter / AC Exposure: During the cooler, drier months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned spaces, your skin may become more dehydrated. You may find it best to reduce the frequency of this scrub to a few times a week to avoid over-drying, ensuring you follow up with plenty of hydration.

The effectiveness of this product is primarily based on Ingredient Rationale and extensive consumer use.

• Ingredient Rationale: Rice bran water has been used for centuries in traditional Asian skincare for its softening and brightening properties. Modern science confirms it is rich in over 100 types of antioxidants like vitamin E and ferulic acid, as well as moisturizing polysaccharides. The mechanical exfoliation from fine rice powder is a well-established method for removing dead skin cells to improve radiance and texture.
• Brand Claims: SKINFOOD states the product uses rice from the pristine Cheorwon region of South Korea and is designed to gently exfoliate for a brighter complexion. No specific clinical trial data for this product is publicly available.

• Size: 150ml
• Typical Use: ~1 ml per cleanse (a nickel-sized amount).
• Estimated Duration:
  • Used Once Daily: The tube will last approximately 150 days, or about 5 months.
  • Used 3 Times per Week: The tube will last for approximately 50 weeks, or almost a year.
• Reorder Cue: When the tube starts to feel less full and requires more effort to squeeze, it's a good time to reorder to ensure you don't run out.

Rice-Powered Brightening Routine (AM Focus)

• SKINFOOD Rice Daily Brightening Scrub Foam — Your gentle exfoliating cleanse to start the day.
• I'M FROM Rice Toner — Deeply hydrates and further enhances brightening with 77.78% Rice Extract.
• Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics — Provides essential sun protection while nourishing the skin, completing the rice synergy.

Soothing & Balancing Routine (PM Focus)

• SKINFOOD Rice Daily Brightening Scrub Foam — Cleanses and exfoliates the day's impurities.

• COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream — A lightweight yet powerful moisturiser to repair the skin barrier and lock in hydration overnight.

This scrub foam is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dullness and uneven texture. However, your skin might prefer a different approach:

• For a Gentler Daily Cleanse (No Scrub): ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser — Choose this if you want a simple, award-winning, non-stripping daily foam without any physical exfoliants. It's perfect for sensitive skin or for days when you don't need to exfoliate.
• For a Focus on Clogged Pores & Blackheads: COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser — Choose this if your main concern is deep-cleaning pores. The salicylic acid (BHA) dissolves oil and debris from within the pore, making it more effective for blackheads and preventing acne.
• For Non-Abrasive Physical Exfoliation: Beauty of Joseon Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel — Choose this if you love the satisfaction of physical exfoliation but find scrubs too harsh. Peeling gels gently "ball up" with dead skin and oils on the surface, lifting them away without scratching.

Mindful Use: If you already have an exfoliating cleanser at home that you enjoy, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps reduce waste and allows you to fairly assess what truly works for your skin.

• Format: 150ml plastic squeeze tube with a secure flip-top cap.
• Hygiene: The tube format is hygienic, preventing contamination of the remaining product.
• Sustainability: The plastic tube is recyclable in Mauritius (check local guidelines). SKINFOOD as a brand is working towards more sustainable practices, but specific information on this product's packaging materials is not detailed.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a bathroom cabinet.
• Travel: At 150ml, it is over the standard carry-on liquid limit for air travel. Consider decanting into a smaller container for flights.

Here's a summary of real, unbiased user feedback from platforms like Reddit and YesStyle (sentiment aggregated, not direct quotes).

• The Texture & Lather: Users consistently praise the rich, dense lather that a small amount produces. Many describe the scrub particles as very fine and gentle, providing exfoliation without feeling scratchy or harsh like other scrubs. "It lathers up SO well and makes...my face feels clean without being stripped." (Amazon customer review, 2025-03)
• The Scent: The fragrance is often described as a "mild, sweet rice" or "clean laundry" scent that is calming and not overpowering. A few users sensitive to fragrance found it a bit strong, but most enjoy it.
• Brightening Effect: Many reviewers report an immediate brightening effect after washing, with their skin looking less dull and more radiant. With consistent use over several weeks, users notice a more even and clear complexion. "I use it daily and I feel like it makes a difference in my skin tone and texture." (Amazon customer review, 2025-05)
• Fair Caveat (The Drying Effect): The most common piece of critical feedback is that it can be drying if used too often, especially for those with dry or combination skin. "Paula Begoun writes that it can be a bit drying to the skin." (INCIDecoder Ingredient Analysis). Many users recommend using it 2-3 times a week instead of daily and following up with a good moisturiser.

Since 1957, SKINFOOD has been a pioneer in the concept of "food cosmetics." Their philosophy is simple: "You are what you eat." The brand believes that healthy, nutritious food results in healthy, beautiful skin. They travel the world to source the highest quality food ingredients—like black sugar from Brazil, royal honey from South Asia, and rice from South Korea—to create skincare that nourishes the skin from the outside in.

• Rice Bran Water (Oryza Sativa): The nutrient-rich water left after milling rice. It's packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help to moisturise, brighten, and soften the skin.
• Physical Exfoliation: The process of removing dead skin cells from the surface using small particles (like rice powder) or a tool. This reveals the newer, brighter skin underneath.
• PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): The dark marks or spots left behind after an acne blemish or other skin inflammation has healed. Gentle exfoliation can help these fade faster.
• MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety): The South Korean government agency that regulates food, drugs, and cosmetics to ensure their safety and efficacy.
• pH: A scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of a water-based solution. The skin's natural pH is mildly acidic (around 4.7-5.75), and using products that are too alkaline can disrupt its protective barrier.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic K-beauty. We carefully curate our selection, ensuring every product is 100% genuine and sourced directly from official channels in South Korea. Our promise is to provide clear, honest information to help you make mindful choices for your skin, backed by our dedicated customer support for your skincare journey in Mauritius.

1. Can I use this scrub foam every day?

The product is named "Daily," and many with oily skin do use it daily without issue. However, because it's a physical exfoliant, we recommend starting with 2-3 times per week to ensure your skin barrier remains healthy. If you experience no irritation or dryness, you can increase the frequency.

2. Is this good for sensitive skin?

It can be. The exfoliating particles are very fine and gentle compared to many other scrubs. However, all physical exfoliation can be a potential trigger for highly sensitive or reactive skin. We strongly recommend a patch test and starting with use only once a week with very light pressure.

3. Will this help fade my dark spots from acne?

Yes, it can help. By gently removing the top layers of dead skin, it accelerates the fading of surface-level post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). However, for deeper or more stubborn dark spots, it should be used in combination with a targeted brightening serum (like one with Niacinamide or Vitamin C).

4. Is this product "fungal acne safe"?

It is not considered fungal acne (Malassezia) safe. The formula contains several fatty acids and olive oil which can be potential triggers for those with this condition. If you are prone to fungal acne, please patch test this product carefully on an affected area before using it all over your face.

Best For: Normal to oily skin types looking for a gentle, effective daily exfoliant to combat dullness and uneven texture.

Key Benefits:

• Brightens and clarifies the complexion with rice bran water.
