| Verdict | 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. | The first step in Numbuzin's numbered system is a solid, if unremarkable, hydrating toner. Bifida ferment lysate provides a fermented base that supports barrier function, while multiple forms of hyaluronic acid handle the hydration. It does its job competently — skin feels plump and prepped for subsequent steps. But in a market with exceptional hydrating toners from Isntree and Anua at lower prices, the No.1 doesn't offer a compelling reason to choose it over the competition. |
