6. Conclusion
1. Texture & Scent
This product easily creates rich foam with its fine powder. The foam is gentle on the skin, causing no irritation. However, when using a large amount of powder to create foam, some clumping may occur.
Additionally, it has a slight grainy scent, reminiscent of rice, and leaves a fragrance after cleansing, which fades over time.
2. How To Use
Dispense an appropriate amount onto your palm, then mix with a small amount of water to create a rich foam. Massage gently onto your face, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
Tip: If you prefer a creamier foam, you can add more powder accordingly. Adjust the concentration depending on the amount of powder used.
3. Is TONYMOLY I’m Rice Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser Good For Skin?
In summary, this product is excellent for those who want a gentle scrubbing experience on their face. It definitely helps to reduce oiliness and acne for those prone to frequent breakouts or oily skin. Even after just a week of use, you can feel your skin becoming smoother and better.
For Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
During the very hot summer, when my skin easily becomes oily and acne-prone, I was highly satisfied with this product. After using it, I noticed a significant reduction in oiliness and a considerable decrease in acne. Despite regularly wearing makeup that tends to be stubborn in the summer, using cleansing oil along with this product helped keep my skin clean and refreshed.
For Combination Skin
In late autumn, when my skin tends to be combination, I experienced a slight dryness when using this product, but it wasn’t severe. On days with greasy food or sudden hot weather, when acne was noticeable on my skin, I observed a noticeable reduction in acne after using this product for more than a week.
For Dry and Sensitive Skin
During the very cold winter, using this product in the morning and evening sometimes left my skin feeling slightly dry. However, it wasn’t to the extent of severe tightness, and it seemed to maintain my skin’s original condition.
Also, on days when my face became partially red after exposure to very cold winds, cleansing with this product caused no irritation or issues.

- If you’re searching for an exfoliator that brightens the complexion, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is also our recommendation.

6. Conclusion
TONYMOLY I’m Rice Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser is a standout product in the exfoliating cleanser category, offering effective exfoliation. While it may not be suitable for extremely dry skin, its gentle foam and noticeable reduction in acne make it worth trying for those seeking to reduce acne and achieve fresh-looking skin in their skincare routine.
While I have no complaints about the amount of powder, some reviewers mention that the quantity is only half of the container. Considering the significantly lower price compared to other similar-performing products (which are almost 4 to 5 times more expensive), I don’t think the quantity is an issue.
Additionally, the small bottle design and the lid make it easy to hold even with wet hands, and the dispensing hole for the powder allows convenient portion control.
