| Verdict | Beauty of Joseon's combination-skin toner — a dual-layer formula that separates a hydrating water-phase (rice extract, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, ceramide) from a sebum-controlling powder phase (kaolin, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum chlorohydrate, polymethyl methacrylate). Shake before use to mix the two. The eight-extract botanical pour (Coptis japonica, ulmus davidiana, amaranthus, ficus carica, centella, cocoa, glycyrrhizate) layers traditional Korean herbal hanbang with modern oil-control tech. 4.9★ from 1,400+ reviews on the brand site, $18 for 150ml positions it as the rare "glow without grease" toner that combination-skin users rebuy. | 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. |
