The Secret of Red Rice for Revitalized Skin
The core of this new series lies in Red Rice (紅麹米 extract), a traditional ingredient known for its beneficial properties. It is believed that factors such as accumulated dead skin cells, excess sebum, pore impurities, pigmentation, and a weakened skin barrier due to dryness contribute to rough and dull skin. The Red Rice line is formulated to address these multiple concerns simultaneously, paving the way for healthier-looking skin.
Introducing the New Red Rice Skincare Essentials
Red Rice Smooth Peeling Serum
This gentle yet effective peeling serum works to exfoliate unwanted dead skin cells while providing essential hydration, leaving the skin feeling incredibly smooth. Formulated with Red Rice (red koji rice extract), Inositol, and Phytic Acid, it offers both exfoliation and moisturizing benefits. Its low-viscosity serum texture feels like a regular skincare product, making it easy to gently roll onto the skin to remove impurities. It’s designed for low irritation, suitable for daily use even for peeling beginners, and can be used on both the face and body.

Red Rice Heart MocoMoco Pore Pack Cleanser
Experience a refreshing cleanse with this multi-functional pack cleanser, which gently removes old dead skin cells, sebum, and pore impurities while preserving skin’s moisture. It aims to reveal brighter, softer skin. Key ingredients include Red Rice (red koji rice), Inositol, and Phytic Acid. Red koji rice, created by fermenting white rice with red koji mold, is noted for its higher content of beneficial components compared to regular rice. Inositol helps balance skin moisture, while Phytic Acid gently cares for dead skin cells, leading to refined skin texture.
The cleanser boasts a delightful, “mochi-like” pink texture that adheres gently to the skin. It can be used as a daily cleanser or as a wash-off pack. When massaged with water, it transforms into a fine, rich lather, offering a clean finish. Its mild, weakly acidic formula makes it suitable for daily use, even for sensitive skin.
