Rice has been used on skin in Korea and Japan for centuries, and it remains one of the most common ingredients in products aimed at dullness. Skinfood rice brightening toner puts it in the first step after cleansing, where a toner's job is to rehydrate and prepare the skin rather than to strip it.
This is a hydrating toner in the Korean sense rather than an astringent wipe-down. The texture is watery and absorbs quickly, which is what makes it work as a first layer under a serum and moisturiser rather than as a standalone step.
Skinfood launched in 2004 as the first Korean brand built around food ingredients, and each range is named for what it leads on. The Rice line runs across a cleanser, toner and serum, so the routine can be matched if you want. Skinfood canada shoppers usually find the brand through the Rice or Black Sugar ranges. As a skinfood rice toner it is the entry point to that line.
