I’m From Rice Cream (50 g / ~50 ml) — its ingredients, benefits, texture, how to use it, what people like/dislike, and whether it might be a good fit for your skin. Let me know if you want a shorter version or a comparison with another cream.
A face cream from the Korean brand I’m From that focuses on using rice‑bran components to nourish and repair skin.
It contains ~41% rice bran essence / rice bran water (from an organic rice farm in Yeoju, South Korea) as a main ingredient.
Marketed as a “rice bran ceramide” cream: includes rice‑derived ceramide, which helps reinforce or repair the skin barrier.
Here are some of the important ingredients and their roles:
Ingredient | Role / Benefit |
---|---|
Rice Bran Water / Rice Bran Essence (~41%) | Rich in minerals, vitamins (especially B & E), helps brighten skin tone, has antioxidant effects; also helps with sebum control. |
Rice‑Bran Derived Ceramide | Helps strengthen the skin’s barrier, retain moisture so skin feels more protected and hydrated. |
Shea Butter | Emollient, deeply moisturizing, helps smooth texture. |
Hyaluronic Acid (and hydrolyzed HA) | Humectant, draws moisture into the skin. |
Panthenol | (Pro‑vitamin B5) Soothes skin, supports barrier repair, moisture retention. |
Bisabolol | Calming, anti‑inflammatory effects. |
Ceramide NP | Additional barrier support (helps reduce water loss). |
Also, it is described as being vegan, clean beauty, fragrance‑free, non‑GMO, without artificial coloring.
The texture is described as somewhat thick / rich, creamy but not overly heavy. It has a “silky” or “velvet”‑like finish.
Absorption: It melts into the skin fairly well. Some describe a slight tackiness before it is fully absorbed, but without leaving a greasy residue.
Scent: Generally reported to be mild / very subtle. Some say almost no fragrance (smells faintly like rice).
Barrier strengthening: Helps repair and protect the skin barrier via rice‑bran ceramide and other emollients.
Hydration & Moisture Retention: Deep hydration, locking in moisture so skin feels more supple.
Brightening / Even Skin Tone: Rice bran has components that can help reduce dullness and even out complexion.
Sebum Control: Some claims that the rice bran / phytic acid components help absorb or control excess oil without drying.
Suitable for All Skin Types (including sensitive): Because it is fragrance‑free, and uses gentle, natural‑derived actives.
Use as the last step of your skincare routine (i.e. after toners, serums etc.) as a moisturizer.
Apply to clean face & neck. A little goes a long way.
Can be used morning & night, depending on your skin’s needs.
Because it’s richer and has occlusive/emollient components (e.g. butters, waxes), it may feel heavy in very hot/humid weather, or may not be enough alone for very dry skin in harsh climates. Some users say they layer it or use it only at night.
Some users note pilling (product rolling up / not absorbing smoothly) if too much cream is used, or if under layers haven’t absorbed yet.
While fragrance‑free, a few people with very sensitive skin report slight irritation possibly from texture, or the richness/occlusiveness. Patch test is advised.
Probably a good match if you:
Have dry, sensitive or combination skin that needs barrier support.
Want something to both hydrate and help even out skin tone / brightening.
Prefer creams that are more natural, fragrance‑free, and with clean beauty credentials.
Need something to seal in moisture at the end of your routine.
Might be less ideal if you:
Have very oily skin and don’t like anything with a rich, emollient feel.
Live somewhere extremely humid and want only lightweight / gel textures.
Need strong acne / breakout control (this is not an acne treatment).
From user reviews and ingredient breakdown:
It seems effective at providing moisture + softness, improving skin texture, giving a subtle glow / brightening effect.
Many users say it doesn’t make them greasy, especially when used moderately.
It’s valued especially as a barrier cream, particularly in dry or sensitive skin conditions.
