Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder 40g

Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder is a multi-purpose powder cleanser designed to gently exfoliate while keeping the skin balanced and comfortable. Unlike harsh scrubs that can leave skin feeling tight, this soft enzyme-based formula transforms into a creamy foam that helps remove excess oil, dead skin cells, and buildup without disrupting the skin barrier. The texture is one of the standout features — slightly cushiony and elastic when mixed with water, making cleansing feel surprisingly soothing.

What we love about the Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder is how it combines brightening and barrier-supportive ingredients in one simple step. Rice extract, rice bran water, alpha-arbutin, and vitamin C derivatives work together to improve overall radiance, while ceramide NP and allantoin help calm and hydrate the skin. It can also be used as a quick wash-off mask when your skin feels rough or congested. If you enjoy gentle exfoliating cleansers, you might also like Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what powers the Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder:

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder & Rice Extract

Rice-derived ingredients help gently exfoliate dull surface buildup while supporting a brighter, softer complexion. Rice has long been used in Korean skincare for its skin-smoothing and radiance-boosting properties.

Papain

A naturally derived enzyme that helps dissolve dead skin cells without harsh physical scrubbing. It gives the cleanser its gentle exfoliating effect and helps skin feel smoother after rinsing.

Alpha-Arbutin

Known for helping improve the appearance of uneven tone and post-acne marks. It supports a more radiant complexion while remaining gentler than many stronger brightening actives.

Ceramide NP

A skin barrier-supporting ingredient that helps reduce dryness and maintain moisture balance. Especially helpful in exfoliating formulas where skin comfort matters.

Allantoin

A soothing ingredient that helps calm visible irritation and keeps skin feeling comfortable after cleansing. It also helps soften rough texture over time.

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Helps support skin softness and moisture retention while adding a conditioning effect to the formula.

Lactic Acid

A mild exfoliating acid that helps refine rough texture and improve overall skin smoothness while being gentler than stronger acids.
