Rice Water for Clear Skin

RESEARCH

  • No studies have actually tested rice water on skin, so we don't know if it works—any improvement could be placebo or from other products you're using.

COMMUNITY

  • Limited public discussion found — the research above gives a reasonable starting expectation

SAFETYRice can absorb arsenic from soil; topical safety hasn't been studied, so check with a doctor if you have sensitive skin or concerns.
