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

Tatcha's "The Rice Wash" is a creamy cleanser inspired by the beauty rituals of geisha; a soft texture built on rice powder and Hadasei-3 that turns into a gentle lather with water. It lifts grime and leaves skin clean and lively with no tightness or dryness โ€” a genuine cult favorite among cleansers.

Benefits

Gentle cleansing โ€” preserves skin's moisture โ€” noticeable softness and smoothness โ€” refreshed skin

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this is one of the gentlest cleansers out there, especially loved by sensitive and normal-to-dry skin for its soft, creamy, non-stripping feel โ€” one of our highest-rated picks. Honestly, though, very oily skin or anyone chasing that "squeaky clean" feeling will find it too gentle.

How to use

Pour a small amount of powder into a damp palm and add a little water to work up a creamy lather, then gently massage onto damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water. Usable morning and night.

Key ingredients

Rice powder, fermented rice extract / Hadasei-3, gentle botanical whitening agents

Suitable for

All skin types, especially sensitive and normal-to-dry skin
