The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Moisture Emulsion Review


This is the blackhole of products. It lasts forever, making it an extremely good value. It also has ceramide, an interesting ingredient. So does this product provide results? 

"Relieves dry skin and reduces flaking with the use of ceramide, which helps to maintain the skin barrier. Rice extract corrects skin texture by reducing the appearance of dark spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. The lightweight formula makes it a perfect daytime moisturizer and provides a radiant, brightened complexion."
Size: 150 mL (this lasts forever. I've used it every day for a year and I'm just now finishing it)

Price: ~$8

Scent: Mild, pleasant. Light, floral fragrance. 

Texture: Very light cream, absorbs nice and quick.

I apply after toner, in the morning. At night, I apply it after my essences/ampoules/serums. 
I like this product, despite it not being very flashy. It does a good job in providing light moisture. It isn't greasy and it absorbs quickly. It could be used on its own, as I use it at a daytime moisturizer. At night, I like to layer this under a thicker cream. This didn't clog my skin and it is very mild. I haven't noticed all the benefits it claims, but for a daily, lightweight moisturizer, this is good. 
I got this rather cheap on Ebay. Also available on Amazon and Sasa amongst other places.
