Inspired by Korean rice water rituals, Byroe created a new black rice PDRN cleanser with a gel-to-foam consistency and a formula that effectively removes daily buildup and supports more resilient skin. This cleanser makes the most of plant-derived black rice PDRN and pairs it with biomimetic peptides for enhanced firmness, a plant-based collagen support ingredient, and purifying, balancing charcoal. The Black Rice PDRN Collagen Boosting Gel Cleanser is ideal for a range of skin types and specifically targets concerns like early loss of elasticity, dullness and uneven tone, and tired skin in need of comfort, hydration and refreshment.
Based on a consumer perception questionnaire, 20 participants unanimously agreed that their skin felt softer, balanced and plumper with improved elasticity after using the Black Rice PDRN Collagen Boosting Gel Cleanser.
