| Verdict | A pH-adjusting toner that actually serves a purpose. At pH ~4.0, it preps skin for better acid penetration and provides mild exfoliation on its own. The AHA/BHA concentrations are low enough for daily use without irritation, but high enough to make a visible difference in texture and congestion over time. A rare product that does exactly what it claims without overcomplicating things. | 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. |
