| Verdict | Hanyul's red rice serum — fermented red rice extract is one of K-beauty's quiet hero ingredients, rich in amino acids, B vitamins, and naturally-occurring AHAs from the fermentation process. The serum format is gentle but effective, layering well under moisturizer and pairing beautifully with the Artemisia essence above. Particularly good for mature skin chasing the 'lit-from-within' glow without irritation. The Korean-rice-skincare story is editorial gold — Hanyul has been doing it for years before it became trendy. | iUNIK signature product and one of the best-kept secrets in sensitive-skin K-beauty. 70% beta-glucan — a powerhouse humectant and soothing agent — combined with a minimalist supporting cast. The result is a serum that hydrates like hyaluronic acid but also calms reactive skin the way centella does. Cult favorite for a reason. |
