I am curious to find out how this brand I have never tried before is going to perform on my skin.

About I’m From Rice Toner

Let’s start with the brand itself.

I’m from is a K-beauty brand that focuses on using single ingredients in their products. They believe by doing so, they achieve more effective formulas that target different skin concerns. With their innovative approach, they make skincare products using ingredients like Honey, Fig, Mugwort, Ginseng, and yes, Rice. Their brand philosophy also involves transparency, as they indicate where a specific ingredient comes from, hence the name of the brand: I’m From!

I’ll admit, I do enjoy researching brands and what they stand for, so discovering this brand’s philosophy definitely adds to the experience. That said, we are all about transparency too, so this I’m From rice toner review will include all aspects of the toner.

As you can tell from its name, the main ingredient of this toner is rice. Also, this product works as an essence, meaning its primary goal is to hydrate the skin and make sure that your skin is ready for the next steps of your skincare routine. The formula also has skin loving ingredients such as Niacinamide, Adenosine, Japanese Elm Bark extract that make it perfect for sensitive skin.

It has been used as a multipurpose ingredient to boost skin’s health and kudos to this brand for following a tradition with modern skin technology.

Ingredient list of I’m From Rice Toner

I appreciate the fact that the ingredient list isn’t so long, these are the main ingredients you should know about:

Goami Rice extract

At 77.78 %, this extract is the main one accounting for the hydration and brightening effect of the essence. This study concluded that rice extract significantly improved skin hydration and is great for dry skin treatments. Plus, it gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells.

Niacinamide

The best of all worlds, the one and only – Vitamin B3! It makes sense that they would use Niacinamide in such a formula. Because it is suitable for all skin types, including very sensitive skin, it would almost be a sin not to include this magical ingredient. Niacinamide does a number of things for skin – regulates oil production, manages inflammation, deals with redness and fights against acne like a real champ!

Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract

Used as a traditional medicine in China and Korea, this plant extract enjoys moisturizing and humectant (meaning, locking moisture) properties. It also has anti-inflammatory qualities and is truly and underrated moisturizer!

Butylene Glycol

Technically, Butylene Glycol is an organic alcohol. Take a second, don’t freak out by the A-word. Its main role here is being a solvent for other ingredients. It helps the product to be absorbed by the skin better and enhances the whole experience. Due to its humectant nature, it attracts water into the skin too.

Adenosine

I like that more and more brands are benefiting from this ingredient! Adenosine is used in skincare products as an anti-wrinkle agent and it is also knowns for its soothing benefits. It is derived from yeast and also participates in wound-healing.

Full Ingredient List:

Rice extract, Methylpropanediol, Triethylhexanoin, Hydrogenated poly (C6-14 olefin), Niacinamide, Pentylene glycol, Common Purslane extract, Rice bran extract, Japanese elm bark extract, Amaranthus caudatus seed extract, Hydrogenated lecithin, Distilled water, Polyglyceryl-10-myristate, Butylene glycol, Adenosine, Cellulose gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol.

Texture and Consistency of I’m From Rice Toner

This is a very light essence, definitely doesn’t have a heavy feel on the skin. It is basically like spreading milk in your face. I feel like it is the optimal consistency every essence should have. It is not sticky, and it makes the skin hydrated right away.

I didn’t have to wait for more than a minute or so do apply my serum on top. Overall, it gets absorbed by the skin in no time.

Packaging & Scent

This I’m from toner really is aligned with the brand itself, you can definitely tell by the packaging. The carton of the product comes with a protective seal.

I purchased the small one (30 ml) which comes in a transparent plastic bottle. Btw, you have to shake it well before using it.

I think the packaging is cute, not over the top at all and easy to use.

Scent

What makes it perfect for sensitive skin is the fact that it is fragrance-free! So, no possibility for any irritation there.

Overall Performance: Does I’m From Rice Toner work?

Overall, I have positive impressions about the I’m from toner. I was skeptical at first when I read some reviews online that some people experienced redness after using it. But I knew that it was a fragrance-free vegan formula, so my expectations were high.

After using it for about a month, I could see that it did brighten my skin and make it more supple. I guess it does depend on your skin and every skin is built in a different way.

In the beginning, I was using it only in the nighttime routine, then switched to using it in my AM routine too, glad I did that. The hydration aspect is right there when you put it on – it didn’t cause any irritation. I guess this is due to soothing ingredients like Vitamin B3 and others. Also, I used it throughout hot summer days in June, and it for sure came to the rescue as a light, gentle and soothing toner.
