| Verdict | A perfectly serviceable hydrating toner that does what it promises — softens, hydrates, and preps skin for the next steps. The combination of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and panthenol is a safe, well-trodden formula that works for most skin types. It won't blow your mind, but it won't let you down either. The issue is that at $22, you're paying a slight premium for a formula that budget brands like COSRX deliver at a lower price point. | The Rice Toner is I'm From's bestseller and it deserves it. 77.78% rice extract from Yeoju, Korea provides genuine brightening and moisture. The milky texture feels more nourishing than a typical toner. One of the best brightening toners available at any price — and it works for sensitive skin too. |
