Take the skin testThe Mary&May Rice Glutathione LHA Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, multi-functional cleanser designed especially for sensitive skin. It melts away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while deeply cleansing pores without stripping or irritating. Enriched with 1,000 ppm Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, it nourishes and brightens the complexion, helping to balance uneven tone. Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA), a gentle next-generation exfoliant, sweeps away dead skin cells, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Rice Glutathione LHA Cleansing Oil is a rich oil cleanser from Mary&May, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 23 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as rich: occlusives and butters sit high enough in the order to give it real weight on skin. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Triethylhexanoin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Triethylhexanoin and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
On richness alone it suits Dry and Combination (dry) skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
