If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners). COSRX Rice Overnight Mask was one of the first Korean skincare products that I bought and tried. I wanted to start with something gentle to see how my skin reacts, as well as moisturizing – because I’ve been struggling with dry patches on my chin for quite a while. As a 3-in-1 mask, this product can be used as an overnight mask, a cream or as a wash off the mask!

My thoughts on!

Betaine is a common humectant (a substance that promotes retention of moisture). It's known to be gentle on the skin and can help balance hydration. Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne. Oryza Sativa Extract comes from the rice grain, Oryza sativa. Rice extract has wound healing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. It claims to provide the skin with intensive hydration, and leaves it looking clearer, but I haven’t noticed results beyond just a bit of brightening and a medium level of hydration.
