When it comes to exfoliating cleansers, two popular affordable options in the market are TONYMOLY I’m Rice Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser and DHC Face Wash Powder. Both are advertised to smooth and moisturize the skin, and their similar prices might leave you wondering which one to choose. Having used both products for almost a year, I’ve discovered some slight differences between the two.
May you find the right product tailored to your skin type and sensitivity to fragrance, for clear and confident glowing skin.

1. What are they?
TONYMOLY I’m Rice Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser
1/2
Size: 50 g
This facial exfoliator is a gentle exfoliant enriched with Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder, effectively removing dead skin cells and impurities. It leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
- Pros: It offers gentle exfoliation and results in smooth skin. Suitable for all skin types, and is especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin
- Cons: The grain fragrance may not be to everyone’s liking
DHC Face Wash Powder
2/2
DHC
Size: 1.7 oz / 50 g
This fine powder creates a creamy lather to cleanse and exfoliate the skin. It contains protease enzymes for gently removing dead skin cells and impurities, while sodium hyaluronate helps to hydrate the skin after cleansing.
- Pros: Gentle exfoliation; suitable for all skin types, particularly dry and sensitive skin; travel-friendly powder format; fragrance-free
- Cons: If you cleanse with a small amount of the powder, the foam may not be very creamy. In this case, adding more powder will create a creamier foam.
2. Conclusion: Which One Is Best for You?
In conclusion, both the TonyMoly I’m Rice Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser and the DHC Face Wash Powder offer effective exfoliation, leading to smoother skin. While neither product leaves the skin feeling significantly moisturized after use, they maintain the skin’s natural state. Neither product causes extreme dryness or tightness after cleansing.
Both are affordable and come in a compact design, making them convenient for travel and suitable for all skin types. They are gentle enough for daily use and effectively remove dead skin cells. Additionally, if you have acne on your body, using these products on the affected areas can gently exfoliate, and you may notice a reduction in body acne after a week.
If you are concerned about acne or oily skin, I recommend Tonymoly. For those with dry skin and looking for a fragrance-free product, DHC is a better choice. I use waterproof makeup almost daily, and both of these products have been helpful in maintaining clean skin when used with makeup removers (oily, acne, dry, sensitive) in the evening.
Tip: If you are concerned about blackheads, gently removing them with a cleansing oil followed by using this soft powder exfoliant can lead to clear and smooth skin. Doing this before applying sunscreen or makeup can help achieve a clear and clean complexion.
