I bought this because I have seemingly combination / normal skin with some dryness and sensitivity due to allergies.

This product worked really well, its an interesting texture (neither gel nor cream) and really does smell like rice.

It hydrated my skin and with daily use I noticed an improvement on the appearance of my nasolabial folds.

I cant say whether it had a brightening effect, however since I've run out I've noticed that my blemishes and dry patches take longer to heal although i'm using a different sleeping pack.

This did not work on my eczema, in fact it made it itchy, so i applied around it.

All in all an excellent product that made converted me to using sleeping packs daily, I only wish this came in a bigger size, since this only lasts 1 to 2 months with daily use.
