Reviews
Best!
"I have used this off and on for years. Always coming back to it after trying something else. It’s gentle on the skin, you can use it everyday and does not leave dry tight feeling skin. Afterwards the skin looks smooth and ready for the next skincare steps"
Rice Polish
"Love it so much. Yes I'm a senior citizen but it does my face good"
Excellent
"Excellent facial polish; easy to use and very effective"
"I just started using it but I'm liking it so far as it's leaving my skin feeling smooth soft and brightened can't wait to see what the next 3 months will look like"
"Great for folks over 45. Smooth skin. Pair with a good facial oil afterwards"
Really good
"You should consider making this into a body wash. I used this in the shower recently, not even a lot, and a tonnn of dead skin cells came off my skin. A true exfoliator"
Best exfoliant I ever used
"I already use Tatcha's moisturizer and I love it so I decided to try the Rice Polish. I like that it is a powder and when you add water it becomes creamy. My skin feels so soft and it actually glows! A great product!"
"Foams up really well."
Nice face wash
"Have used it a few times. It’s gentle, effective and non-drying. Will keep using it."
Q&A
- Is this a physical or chemical exfoliant?
- The Rice Polish is a soft and gentle chemical exfoliant that uses rice enzymes to help decongest pores and improve the texture to your skin.
- Can this be used as a face cleanser? I also have tried the rice wash and I wasn't sure if they were interchangeable?
- The Rice Polish is an exfoliating cleanser that you can use as your only cleanser, or used after The Rice Wash.
- Is this product safe to use during pregnancy? How about the rest of the products at the same line? Thank you !
- All of the pieces if our collection are formulated to be pregnancy-friendly. If you have any questions about a specific ingredient please email customercare@tatcha.com
- Do I need to use the Rice Wash first before the Rice Polish? Or I can use either of them independently?
- Thank you for reaching out. You can use them independently, or if you want to double cleanse with a second exfoliating step, you can use the Rice Wash first followed by the Rice Polish second. Both are gentle enough to be used twice a day, everyday. We hope this helps!
- Is there a way to dry out if water gets in the container?
- We do not recommend allowing water to get inside the contain as it will compromise the product. Instead, leave your Rice Polish outside the shower and use it at the sink. This will ensure it does not get wet. We hope this helps.

Is Matcha Good for Acne?
Matcha is a special type of finely powdered green tea prized for its bright green hue, distinct cultivation practices, ceremonial preparation, and transformative health benefits. The tea is linked with many health benefits, from improving mental alertness, fighting free radicals thanks to the potent antioxidants, and boosting numerous cognitive functions. Additionally, matcha is also proven to be wonderfully beneficial for reducing blemishes when applied topically, an impressive fact proven by numerous clinical studies.
The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser
Foaming cleansers can be effective for all, but the secret to using them correctly is discovering a formula that is ideal for your skin type. A creamy foaming cleanser, which imparts a soft hydration onto the skin as cleansing, is more ideal for dry skin, while a refreshing foaming cleanser that includes oil-balancing ingredients is more ideal for combination and oily skin tones. Some formulas work by allowing the dense bubbles to grasp onto debris, sebum, and makeup, washing away in a single step. While other formulas might need an oil cleanser first to break down these trickier long-lasting ingredients.
