5) First Impression & Texture

When first opening this rice water for skin, as per usual, I was impressed with I’m From’s choice of packaging. The rice toner comes in a heavy luxury feeling glass bottle that is clear, showing the product.

“Truly, luxury packaging at it’s best.”

Upon opening the product, the bottle comes with a seal to ensure the product is fresh. Aside from that, once applying a few drops to my hands, I immediately noticed the that it has a silky texture on my skin. While it was very liquid and hydrating, at the same time it felt very soft and smooth. Texture aside, the toner absorbed fairly quickly into my dry skin after cleaning, leaving my skin feeling lightly hydrated and fresh. As one of the claims for this toner was hydration, I was expecting a mass amount of hydration, but instead, it was rather mild.

“It’s not as hydrating as I expected, but it’s just enough for daily use.”

Aside from the immediate hydrating effects, in terms of my first impression on this rice water for skin, I did feel it was a lovely light-weight hydrating toner that did not cause me any immediate irritation.

“It left my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and fresh."

6) Overall Results

In terms of my results after using this rice water for skin care after 3 weeks, I must say the overall brightening effects on my skin where not the most apparent. I did feel my skin was brighter on a whole, but I did not notice any dramatic changes in my skin that really “wowed” me. However, it is definitely gradually brightening my overall skin complexion so I am looking forward to see the result after longer use.Aside from brightening, because I do not have any wrinkles or fine lines, I cannot gauge the overall results for anti-aging in regards to wrinkles. However, my skin did feel plumper every day I used the I’m From Rice Toner. My skin felt more soft, plump, and bright.

“All in all, it’s a great toner to daily brightening, smoothing, and hydrating!”
