The Rice Polish: Deep

This powder is a chemical abrasion, not a GRIT. It is a rice powder that you put in your hand, drop some water from the faucet into it, and rub. It creates a pale green light soapy foam that you then rub all over and wash your face. It has a beautiful, faint citrusy scent, and leaves your akin feeling amazingly soft. The formulation has a pH balance of some sort that eliminates that rough feeling of water on skin. It even made my washcloth soft! I am HOOKED.

I have been using a powdered enzyme cleanser by AmorePacific for many years. When I spotted this one by Tatcha, I decided to try it too. It is just as wonderful as the AmorePacific so I would recommend either one. When I was reading reviews on the Tatcha on another site, I realized that a lot of people don't know how this works. Some were complaining that the powder disintegrates too fast and they don't have the grit to put on their face. People, this is NOT a physical exfoliant! The powder is supposed to disintegrate and the more you rub your hands together, the more lather you will work up. The way this cleanser exfoliates is with the enzymes it contains, not by rubbing grit into your face. In fact, all those cleansers like the apricot one with the ground up pits are very bad for your skin. You are much better to exfoliate with a cleanser like this one or by using a glycolic or lactic acid toner

Have type 2 rosacea and this makes my face feel clean and soft.The grains remind me of sugar, they are gritty until you mix it into your warm moistened skin for 30 seconds then it becomes a regular face soap. You only need a tiny amount, like the tip of a teaspoon. Wet your face and fingers before pouring onto your fingers so the dust doesn’t fly everywhere.

This is the most gentle yet effective facial scrub I own & Tatcha always is the best !🩵🩵🩵🩵😇just expensive LOL - if u mix w water it turns into a facial cleanser pretty cool ;-)

I love TATCHA
