What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise the cleanser for its gentle, hydrating formula, pleasant lather, and exceptional value given the large amount of product. The rice ingredient resonates as soothing and calming. Recurring strengths include no stripping, no film residue, and efficiency (a little goes a long way). The jar format with included scoop appeals to users wary of traditional bar cleanser mess, though one reviewer notes the texture feels clumpy when lathering. Overall sentiment is very positive, with gurus calling it an underrated Korean skincare gem, especially suited for winter or sensitive skin.

"You get a vat of product in here and it's scent neutral. Sometimes balm cleansers can smell a bit funky, a bit doughy almost. I don't like that. This is scent neutral and it just melts everything away and it leaves behind the nicest, freshest skin. It doesn't strip, doesn't dry, but it also doesn't leave a film like some other cleansers do. It's just a beautiful, beautiful product. Great for winter if you're looking for something a little bit more on the hydrating side in terms of your cleanser. You get a vat of product. This will last me, I've just bought two, I'm about halfway through one, so I've got two and that'll see me through another 12 months because I use such a little amount of this and it works. It has the rice that's anti-inflammatory, it's calming and soothing. It's just so so good."

THE PERFECT CLEANSER 2025 - Is All Over For CeraVe
"This is a great option for people that like their Korean skincare like rice which is quite calming and soothing but appreciate a more streamlined aesthetic. You get a little scoop here, which I'm quite impressed with myself. Normally I use lose these on the first use, but still going strong. And you get a scoop so you don't have to put your fingers in here. Also super inexpensive for the amount of product you get. This is one of my favorites. It's just a great skincare line, but this cleanser definitely a little unsung hero in the Korean skincare market."

"It works up into that silky lather, it's just a really fun product to use. You don't need very much to get a nice lather, which is another thing I really like about it. It allows you to get a more conservative amount of cleanser worked up into your hands. You can also use it to wash your hands. It's a great hand wash. It rinses off the skin well and leaves the skin clean but soft, hydrated, and not feeling stripped or tight or that squeaky clean feeling."

"I've been using this lately as a second step in the double cleanse. It's basically a cleansing bar in a jar and you take these little cleansing bar scoop nuggets out, work them up into a lather in your hand. It's been kind of fun to use, a little odd because it's a little bit clumpy as you're trying to work that lather. I really like this concept of having it in a jar. I hate the sliminess of a bar of a cleansing bar all over the place, which is why I don't use bar cleansers that much. But the jar version I'm liking. That's a smart design."
