Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk 150ml is a Korean dual-layer toner that hydrates with rice extract while a kaolin powder layer absorbs excess sebum, so skin finishes glowy rather than greasy. Inspired by the Joseon-era practice of rinsing the face with rice bran water, this rice milk toner brings rice amino acids, centella and ceramide NP to dry, dull or combination skin in one lightweight step.

Why This Dual-Layer Toner Works

Two formulas sit in one bottle, and that is the entire point. The lower layer is a sebum-control powder built on kaolin clay. The upper layer is a rice-infused moisture base. Shake them together and you get hydration and oil control in a single pass, which is why it works for combination skin that is oily yet still feels tight. Beauty of Joseon reports a 54.07% improvement in skin moisture and a 31.46% improvement in skin glow after one use, based on a 1-day study of 21 subjects.

Ideal For

Made for all skin types, with the clearest payoff for combination, oily and dehydrated skin that needs moisture without added shine, including through UAE summers and constant air conditioning. Centella and panthenol make it a sensible pick for sensitive or redness-prone skin, and Beauty of Joseon reports it passed a 24-hour patch test on 30 subjects as non-irritating. If you prefer a heavy, lingering dewy finish, a richer milky toner may suit you better. Patch test first.

• Rice Extract (Oryza Sativa) - the hero ingredient. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it hydrates, soothes and supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

• Rice Amino Acids - extracted from rice cells and callus to boost moisture retention and antioxidant activity.

• Kaolin Sebum-Control Powder - the second layer. Absorbs excess oil and refines the look of pores so the finish stays balanced without greasy shine.

• Centella Asiatica and Panthenol - calm redness and reinforce a stressed skin barrier. A staple pairing in Korean skincare for sensitive skin.

• Ceramide NP and Sodium Hyaluronate - draw moisture in and help hold it there, keeping the barrier intact.

• Fig Fruit and Coptis Japonica Root Extracts - add antioxidant support and help settle blemish-prone skin.

1. Shake the bottle well. The two layers separate naturally, which is normal and by design. Without shaking you only get half the formula.

2. After cleansing, pour a few drops into your palms or onto a cotton pad.

3. Press gently into the face and neck, or sweep the cotton pad outward from the centre.

4. Layer a second application over dry areas if needed, then follow with serum and moisturiser.

Use morning and night. Pro tip: soak a cotton pad and rest it on congested areas for 5 to 10 minutes as a quick toner mask.
