The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm — 100ml Solid-to-Oil Makeup & SPF Remover with AHA/PHA Exfoliant

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm is a 4-in-1 solid-to-oil cleansing balm that dissolves makeup, SPF and pore-clogging impurities while leaving skin hydrated and smooth.

This multi-step cleansing balm uses 100% Korean rice extract plus orange peel and lavender oils to break down heavy makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum without stripping natural moisture. Its unique sorbet-like texture melts into an oil, becomes a gentle gommage, and rinses to a light, milky finish. Formulated for all skin types, it contains a Triple Acid Complex (AHA/PHA/BA) to help exfoliate dead surface cells and improve skin texture after one use.

How does this cleansing balm remove stubborn makeup and SPF?

The balm transforms on contact with skin, using oil-soluble ingredients and botanical oils to lift waterproof makeup and chemical or mineral sunscreen. Massaging the balm emulsifies residue so it rinses clean without leaving a greasy film.

• Solid-to-oil formula melts into makeup and sunscreen for quick breakdown.
• Orange peel and lavender oils aid dissolution and add a gentle scent.
• Emulsifies with water for an easy milky rinse that leaves no heavy residue.

Will this product dry out or irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The balm is formulated to be hydrating and non-comedogenic, so it minimizes pore-clogging while maintaining skin’s moisture barrier. The Triple Acid Complex gently exfoliates surface dead skin without aggressive scrubbing, improving texture over time rather than causing immediate irritation.

• Non-comedogenic base reduces risk of blemishes from heavy oils.
• AHA/PHA/BA blend offers mild chemical exfoliation suitable for weekly use or as tolerated.
• Lavender oil provides soothing aromatics; patch-test if highly fragrance-sensitive.

How do you use the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm for best results?

Start with dry hands and dry face: scoop a generous amount, warm it between your palms, and massage gently in upward, outward circles to dissolve makeup and impurities. Add water to emulsify and continue massaging until the texture turns milky, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your regular cleanser if desired.

• Scoop with clean fingers or a spatula to keep the jar hygienic.
• Massage 30–60 seconds to fully dissolve SPF and long-wear makeup.
• Use once daily as first-step cleansing; weekly deeper exfoliation as needed.

What visible effects should you expect after one use?

After rinsing, skin typically feels softer, smoother and more hydrated rather than stripped. The Triple Acid Complex helps slough away flaky cells, so texture and clarity often improve immediately and become more noticeable with regular use.

• Smoother surface texture and reduced dry patches after one cleansing.
• Thorough removal of makeup and SPF for a cleaner base before treatments.
• Hydrated, silky finish ready for toners, serums, or moisturizers.

Who is this for: The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Balm suits anyone looking for an efficient, hydrating first-step cleanser — from those who wear daily sunscreen or heavy makeup to people with dry, combination, or normal skin seeking gentle exfoliation and improved texture. If you are extremely fragrance-sensitive or allergic to lavender, perform a patch test first. Ideal for consumers who value botanical ingredients like Korean rice extract and a multi-texture cleansing experience in a single jar.
