The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream — Lightweight 1.69 fl. oz., Barrier-Strengthening Hydration

THE FACE SHOP Rice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream is a lightweight daily moisturizer that combines rice extracts and plant-derived ceramides to lock in hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier.

Formulated to be gentle yet effective, this 1.69 fl. oz. cream blends nano-sized ceramide particles with rice-derived ingredients and nourishing emollients to deliver moisture without heaviness. The texture is silky and non-greasy, making it suitable for sensitive and normal skin types. Its composition emphasizes barrier protection and long-lasting hydration using vegetable-sourced ceramides and rice bran oil to help reduce trans-epidermal water loss while maintaining a soft skin feel.

How does this cream help my skin’s moisture barrier?

The cream contains ceramide NP and glycosphingolipids — lipid components similar to those found in healthy skin — that reinforce the barrier function. Because the ceramides are nanometer-sized, they are formulated to penetrate more readily and integrate with the skin’s existing lipids, supporting moisture retention.

• Plant-derived ceramide NP and glycosphingolipids for lipid replenishment
• Rice bran oil and rice extract to soothe and add emollience
• Light emollients like caprylic/capric triglyceride for non-greasy hydration
• Silky feel from silicones and butters to reduce moisture evaporation

Will this cream feel heavy or clog my pores?

This formulation is crafted to be lightweight and absorb quickly, balancing humectants and light emollients so skin doesn't look or feel greasy. Key ingredients such as glycerin and dipropylene glycol draw and hold moisture while dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane create a smooth, breathable finish.

• Non-comedogenic lightweight base designed for everyday use
• Glycerin provides hydration without heaviness
• Silicone derivatives give a smooth, mattifying surface
• Suitable texture for layering under sunscreen or makeup

What makes the rice ingredients special in this cream?

Rice extracts and rice bran oil are included for their gentle conditioning properties and mild exfoliating benefits from naturally occurring components. These rice-derived elements help improve skin texture and enhance skin comfort while contributing additional fatty acids and antioxidants to the formula.

• Oryza sativa (rice) extract to refine skin surface and comfort
• Rice bran oil supplies nourishing fatty acids for softness
• Works alongside ceramides to support barrier and hydration
• Gentle enough for sensitive skin when used as directed

How should I use this cream in my routine?

Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums while skin is slightly damp to maximize hydration. Use a small, pea-sized amount for the face and spread evenly; you can layer more on dryer areas. It pairs well under sunscreen in the morning and under a richer night product if extra hydration is needed.

• Use morning and night after serums and essences
• Apply to slightly damp skin to lock in moisture
• Works under makeup and sunscreen without pilling
• Adjust quantity for seasonal or localized dryness

Who this is for: This moisturizer is aimed at people seeking a lightweight, daily hydrator that reinforces the skin’s barrier without heavy oils or a greasy finish. It’s appropriate for normal to sensitive skin types, anyone wanting plant-based ceramides and rice-derived nourishment, and users who prefer a silky texture that layers well under other skincare and makeup products.
