Anua Rice 70+ Glow Milky Toner - 250ml

What It Is & Key Ingredients

• This is a milky-texture toner (emulsion-like) from Anua. 

• 70% Rice Bran Water (“Rice Water+”): Hydrates, soothes, and helps brighten the skin. 

• Niacinamide: Helps even out skin tone, and supports brightening. 

• Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP): Strengthen the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss. 

• Hyaluronic Acid (various weights: sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed HA): Deep hydration. 

• Panthenol, Betaine, Allantoin: Soothing and calming. 

• Brightening agents: Arbutin + Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) included in the formula. 

Benefits / What It’s Good For

• Hydration + Glow: Provides a dewy, “glass skin” type finish thanks to rice water and HA. 

• Brightening: The niacinamide, arbutin, and rice water help improve dullness and even out tone. 

• Sebum Control: According to Anua’s own testing, it helps balance excess oil. 

• Barrier Strengthening: Ceramides + rice proteins support the skin’s moisture barrier. 

• Soothing: Panthenol + allantoin calm irritation. 

• Lightweight & Non-Sticky: Absorbs quickly, good for layering. 

• Fragrance-Free: Useful for sensitive skin.

Possible Drawbacks / Things to Consider

• Some Users Report Irritation:

  • “my face feels hot, stingy … produces more oil” after using it. 

  • Another said it left an “oily film” and clogged pores: “Too heavy … it doesn’t feel that hydrating … just sits on top.” 

• Slight Burning for Some: A few users on Reddit reported a stinging sensation. 

• Price Variability: Depending on where you buy, cost can vary a lot (imported product).

How to Use It

1. After cleansing, take a moderate amount of the toner. 

2. You can use a cotton pad or your fingertips, then gently pat into the face.

3. Use it morning and night. 

4. Follow with your serum + moisturizer (especially if your skin is dry or if you want to lock in the glow).

Safety / Things to Watch For

• Patch Test: Because of ingredients like niacinamide + rice extract, do a patch test before full use.

• Not Rinsed Off: This is not a rinse-off toner – leave it on and layer. 

• Sun Protection: Use sunscreen during the day — while there’s no strong exfoliant, brightening ingredients (niacinamide, arbutin) work best when skin is protected.

What People Are Saying (User Feedback)

• Some love it for giving a “healthy glow” and using it as a base before makeup. 

• But, as mentioned, others feel it’s a little too “rich” for oily skin and say it can feel like it sits on top of skin instead of absorbing.

• For sensitive/barrier-compromised skin: a few say it caused stinging or discomfort\

• Good pick if: You want a toner that glows + hydrates gently, while helping to even out skin tone and support the skin barrier.

• Be cautious if: You have very oily skin (some find it a bit heavy) or very sensitive skin (test first).

• It’s a versatile step — works well both in simple routines and more layered Korean-style routines.
