Makgeolli Moisturizer from Rice Made from Korean Rice 60ml Korea

This cream feels so luxurious and makes my skin feel & look amazing. I love the creamy gel texture! It feels so refreshing, and I enjoy that it only has a light wine scent. When I use it at night my skin looks so dewy and plump the next morning while still being pretty light & airy. It's really a steal at this price point, it feels really elevated and has amazing ingredients.

!!! I'm not going to lie this is a GOOD cream! It comes in a beautiful giftable package that resembles ancient Asian wooden boxes--absolutely gorgeous. The consistency is very lightweight and not thick or too runny. It absorbs into my sensitive combo skin like water into quenched ground. I've noticed a good moisturizing effect and a little brightening after a few weeks of using the cream. Nothing miraculous but I think it'll take more time to see a noticeable result. A little bit goes a long way, so I've used only a quarter of the product. Will update once I use it all up!

The 60 ml / 2.02 oz gray glass jar of Rice Makgeolli Moisturizer arrived elegantly presented inside a black paper box with a cream-colored paper ribbon along the top and sides. The ribbon is attached at the bottom of the round box and can be gently pushed off to the side to allow access. Inside, curved around the jar and box, is a long piece of paper with additional information in English and Korean. A protective piece of tabbed white plastic was under the lid, but this moisturizer was not otherwise sealed. Directions and ingredients are on the box in English and Korean, but the jar’s text is almost all Korean. There’s no scent to my nose, even though the vague “Fragrance” is listed (4th from the end ahead of Glucose, Oryza Sativa/Rice Bran Extract, and Ceramide NP). My still acne-prone, combination skin loves Niacinamide, so I was happy to see it listed 7th, along with many other excellent ingredients. I’ve used a gentle cleanser and toner that contained rice extract and rice bran extract, and my skin really liked them, but this is my first moisturizer with rice wine and the two rice extracts. This moisturizer is lightweight, and it seemed to melt over my skin as I applied it. Because it spread so well, it was easy to apply a light layer. It’s a gentle moisturizer and I experienced no irritation. Unfortunately, I can feel this moisturizer on my face, even once it’s fully absorbed (it’s tacky for quite a while on me). I’m okay with a bit of texture on my body, but not on my face. I try to choose moisturizers without silicone, but I see that Phenyl Trimethicone is listed (12th out of 37), so it might be that or it might be something else. I tried using this moisturizer on its own, over a few different toners, and with or without actives underneath, but there was always that filmy layer that I could feel. Other than that, my skin felt and looked good/well moisturized. Vegan is written on the jar in English. Cruelty free per several outside sources, but it’s not on the jar or box that I could find. Printed on the bottom of the jar I received in June 2024 was the date “2026.11.27”. Made in Korea.

This product comes in a very pretty jar in a very pretty box, it gives it a luxurious look!. The lotion is silky and smooth, it goes on well and you don't need much product either, I use this after my rice toner, I love rice based products, they have been so soothing and gentle with my skin, in the morning my face feels so hydrated. Big plus for not having any perfumes!

Love this cream, it has a very light texture while still being very moisturizing. It absorbs very well and doesn't have a greasy after feel. Would recommend!
