The LookFantastic X Beauty of Joseon Rice & Shine Set is now available for £30, down from its usual price of £50, offering shoppers a saving of £20 or 40%. The three-step system includes a toner, serum, and SPF 50, along with a complimentary compact mirror.
Rice-based formulas for sensitive skin
Each product in the set harnesses the power of rice, a traditional Korean ingredient used throughout the Joseon Dynasty. The soothing formulas are designed to be ideal for sensitive skin and aim to leave a 'glass skin' glow.
The set includes the Rice + Probiotics Toner (150ml), which contains 77% rice extract and fermented ingredients to soothe sensitive skin and boost radiance. The Glow Deep Serum Rice + Arbutin (30ml) uses 68% rice bran water, 2% arbutin, and soybean seed to diminish dark spots and discolouration, while glycerin provides long-lasting hydration. The Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ (50ml) offers lightweight, non-oily sun defence suitable for dry and sensitive skin types.
Shopper reviews highlight results
One shopper said in a five-star review: "I cannot rave about BOJ enough! I am in love with the rice products. Since switching to mainly BOJ skincare my skin has never looked so good. I always get compliments about the glow. Definitely one to try. I loved that this wee bundle came with a mirror compact gift."
Another pleased user said: "The ingredients are usually mild, avoiding harsh chemicals, which makes their products quite good for sensitive skin." A third shopper added: "Impressive. Bought this set for one of my daughters and she says it makes her skin feel very smooth and clean."
However, one user found the serum unsuitable for their sensitive skin, writing: "A huge fan of this line. The serum, however, is NOT suitable for sensitive skin. It gave me a lot of blemishes, so I don't use it anymore. The SPF and toner, though, are highly recommended!" As advised with all new skincare, it is worth patch testing the products first.
