The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Enzyme Powder Wash 55 g — gentle AHA/Papaya exfoliant, travel-size

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Enzyme Powder Wash is a mild, rice-based powder cleanser that gently exfoliates with fruit enzymes, AHA and PHA to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

This powder wash combines rice-derived ingredients and plant enzymes in a travel-friendly dry formula designed for daily use or targeted resurfacing. Mixes with water to form a customizable foam that cleanses and polishes away dead skin cells while leaving moisture from rice extract and rice bran oil. It’s formulated in Korea and sized for travel or trial at 55 g / 1.94 oz.

How does this powder wash fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use it as the first cleansing step to remove surface impurities and gently lift dull skin cells without overstripping. The enzymatic action and mild AHAs help smooth texture so toners and serums absorb more evenly. Because it’s pH-balanced and powder-based, you control intensity by how much water you add.

• Add a small amount of water for a lightweight foam suitable for sensitive or daily use.
• Add less water and work into a denser lather for deeper exfoliation before masks or treatments.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with your regular hydrating toner and serum.

What active ingredients are responsible for brightening and smoothing?

Plant-derived papaya and pineapple enzymes provide gentle enzymatic exfoliation that helps remove dead skin cells, while AHA and PHA offer mild chemical exfoliation for texture improvement. Rice extract and rice bran oil help maintain hydration and a softer skin feel after use. The combined approach balances polishing with moisturization rather than stripping.

• Papaya and pineapple enzymes: natural mild proteolytic exfoliants.
• AHA and PHA: water-soluble acids that aid in resurfacing and smoothing skin texture.
• Rice extract and rice bran oil: help preserve moisture and leave skin supple.

How do I customize the strength and foam of the cleanser?

The powder format lets you change concentration easily: more water creates a gentle, airy foam; less water yields a richer, more concentrated lather for stronger exfoliation. You can also adjust the amount of powder used based on sensitivity and the level of cleansing needed. This flexibility makes it suitable for varied skin days and travel.

• Light cleanse: pea-sized powder + more water for a soft foam.
• Stronger cleanse: same powder + minimal water to form dense lather.
• Spot use: mix into a paste for targeted smoothing on rough patches.

Is this product travel-friendly and easy to store?

Yes—its dry, lightweight format avoids airline liquid restrictions and prevents leaks or spills in bags. The compact 55 g tin or pouch saves space and is ideal for weekend trips, gym bags, or keeping at the office. Store it in a dry place to preserve enzyme activity and extend shelf life.

• Dry powder resists spill risk and saves luggage weight.
• Small 55 g size fits travel and trial needs.
• Keep sealed and dry to maintain efficacy.

Who is this for: The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Enzyme Powder Wash is for people seeking a gentle daily cleanser that doubles as a mild exfoliant, those who prefer plant-based enzymes and rice-derived moisturizers, and travelers or minimalists who want control over cleansing strength. It suits combination to normal skin types and can be adjusted for more sensitive or more resilient skin routines.
