The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Cream Hydrating Face Moisturizer — 1.69 fl. oz., Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing

This cream blends rice extracts with plant-derived ceramides and emollients to deliver long-lasting moisture without heaviness. Formulated for dry and combination skin, it absorbs quickly to leave skin feeling soft, satin-smooth, and comfortable under makeup or by itself. Nano-technology helps reduce ceramide particle size for better absorption while preserving the skin's protective layers.

How does this cream hydrate without feeling greasy?

The formula pairs humectants like glycerin and betaine with lightweight emollients such as caprylic/capric triglyceride and cyclopentasiloxane to attract and lock in moisture. Silky esters and shea butter give a satin finish without a heavy residue, so skin feels nourished but not weighed down.

• Humectants draw water into the skin for immediate hydration.
• Light emollients create a breathable smoothing layer.
• Silky texture absorbs quickly, ideal under makeup.

What role do ceramides and rice extract play in skin health?

Ceramides help strengthen the lipid barrier to reduce moisture loss, while rice extract and rice bran oil add gentle conditioning and mild exfoliating benefits. The ceramide used is plant-derived and processed into very small particles to enhance skin penetration without disrupting natural defenses.

• Plant-based ceramide supports barrier resilience and hydration retention.
• Rice extract contributes to smoother texture and surface renewal.
• Rice bran oil supplies nourishing fatty acids for softening and comfort.

Is this cream suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

Yes — the blend is designed to be mild and non-irritating for many skin types, including sensitive and combination skin. Soothing emollients and the absence of overly heavy oils reduce the risk of congestion, while the moisturizing system targets drier areas without overloading oily zones.

• Mild formulation minimizes potential irritation for sensitive skin.
• Balanced hydration works on both dry patches and combination T-zones.
• Satin finish avoids excess shine on oil-prone areas.

How and when should I use this moisturizer in my routine?

Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture. Use morning and night — in the daytime it layers well under sunscreen and makeup; at night it helps support overnight barrier repair and comfort.

• Use after toner/serum on damp skin for best absorption.
• Apply a pea-sized amount for face and neck; increase if needed.
• Layer under SPF in the morning; use alone or under a heavier night cream if extra hydration is needed.

Who is this for: The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Cream is aimed at anyone with dry to combination skin seeking a lightweight hydrator that supports the skin barrier. It suits users who prefer plant-derived ingredients, a non-greasy finish, and a moisturizer that performs well under makeup. If you want gentle, consistent hydration with rice-derived conditioning and ceramide support, this cream is a practical daily option.
