| 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. | Real Barrier's milky essence-toner — the brand's MLE (multi-lamellar emulsion) ceramide tech in toner format, with five forms of hyaluronic acid + ceramide NP + madecassoside layered into a non-sticky milky texture. The Atopalm-developed MLE technology mimics the skin's natural lipid bilayer structure for genuine barrier reinforcement. Pair with the Real Barrier Extreme Cream for the full barrier-recovery routine. |
