Lilyvera expert score ยท based on hands-on testing and specialist review

The Rice Polish Classic is one of Tatcha's iconic products โ€” a rice-bran-and-kaolin powder exfoliator that turns into a creamy paste with water, with papaya enzyme gently lifting away dead cells. Inspired by an ancient ritual, its balanced strength suits daily or several-times-weekly cleansing.

Tatcha's classic powder exfoliator, based on rice bran, turns into a soft, creamy paste on contact with water and gently sweeps away dead surface cells. Inspired by an ancient ritual, it leaves skin smooth, bright, and ready to absorb the steps that follow.

Brand: TatchaCategory: Maskโœจ Brightening & Dark Spots๐Ÿงช Exfoliation๐Ÿค Soothing & Repair
Benefits

Gentle physical exfoliation โ€” smoother, more even skin โ€” a brighter look โ€” better absorption of following steps

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this is the family's all-purpose version โ€” not as gentle as the Calming version, nor as strong as the Deep version โ€” and for normal-to-oily skin it strikes a good balance between smoothness and brightness. The one thing to note is the kaolin can feel slightly tightening on dry skin; that group shouldn't skip their moisturizer afterward.

How to use

Mix half a teaspoon of powder in your palm with a little warm water to form a soft foam, massage onto damp skin, and rinse with lukewarm water; a few times a week.

Key ingredients

Japanese rice bran/rice powder, kaolin, papaya enzyme

Suitable for

All skin types, especially normal-to-oily
