Description
The Anua Rice Ceramide Serum is a daily hydrating serum from Anua that pairs 7 types of rice extract with ceramide, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to keep skin moisturised, comfortable and glowing. Anua calls it the ultimate rice serum for a glass-skin look: a deeply hydrating step that helps your complexion look radiant and smooth while supporting the skin’s own moisture barrier.
It sits in Anua’s 7 Rice Ceramide line and is fragrance-free, with a light yet slightly elastic consistency that spreads easily and layers well under creams and sunscreen. One 50ml bottle with a pump makes it simple to dispense just the right amount every morning and night.
What the Anua Rice Ceramide Serum Does
Anua designed this serum around four everyday jobs. First, it hydrates: the rice extracts, hyaluronic acid and glycerin draw in moisture so skin feels soft and plump rather than tight. Second, it supports the moisture barrier, thanks to ceramide and panthenol, which help soothe and protect while improving the skin’s resilience.
Third, it helps balance oil. The formula contains 3% niacinamide together with zinc, which Anua includes to help manage excess oil and sebum. Fourth, it brightens: rice extracts and arbutin help improve the look of dullness and uneven tone for a clearer, more even and radiant complexion.
Key Ingredients in the Anua Rice Ceramide Serum
7 types of rice extract (ANUA RICERA 7+). Anua’s rice and ceramide complex helps nourish and deeply hydrate skin, enhances the skin barrier and brightens an uneven-looking tone. Rice bran water is the very first ingredient in the formula.
Ceramide NP. Ceramides are lipids naturally found in skin. Here they help maintain the moisture barrier so hydration stays where it belongs.
Hyaluronic acid. Several forms of hyaluronic acid help skin feel hydrated and smooth, support a plumper appearance and make fine lines from dryness less noticeable.
3% niacinamide, arbutin and zinc. This trio helps balance sebum and oil production while brightening the skin.
Panthenol, honey extract and glycerin. These hydrate and soothe, and they help create the serum’s unique elastic consistency.
Who Should Try the Anua Rice Ceramide Serum
Anua positions this as an everyday brightening and moisturising serum for all skin types. It suits dry or dehydrated skin that wants lasting moisture, combination skin that wants hydration without heaviness, and oilier skin that wants help balancing sebum. Because it is fragrance-free and focused on soothing and hydrating, it also fits easily into a routine for skin that gets irritated by dryness.
If your main goal is a dewy, healthy-looking glow, often described as glass skin, this serum was made with exactly that finish in mind.
How to Use the Anua Rice Ceramide Serum
Use it after cleansing and toning, up to twice daily. Smooth 2 to 3 pumps over the whole face; a little goes a long way. You can also apply a few drops and gently pat them in with your fingertips, building up the amount as your skin gets used to it.
Follow with your moisturiser or facial oil to seal in hydration. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. The serum can be used every day, both AM and PM.
Building a Routine Around It
A simple routine works well: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, this serum, then a moisturiser, with sunscreen added in the morning. Because the formula already combines hydrating, barrier-supporting and oil-balancing ingredients, it can be the main treatment step in a minimal routine.
If you already use an exfoliating or active serum, apply the thinnest, most watery product first and finish with the richest. Browse more hydrating and brightening options in our serums collection to build a routine that suits your skin.
Texture, Finish and Feel
The Anua Rice Ceramide Serum has a slightly elastic texture that glides on without dragging and absorbs into the skin within moments. It leaves a fresh, hydrated feel and a soft glow rather than a sticky film, so it layers comfortably under moisturiser, sunscreen and makeup.
There is no added fragrance, which makes it a calm, easy step for daily use morning and night.

Good to Know
Every skin is different, so a short patch test is a sensible first step with any new product. Apply a small amount to the side of the neck or behind the ear for a couple of days before using it across the face. Keep it out of the eyes, and stop using it if lasting redness, stinging or itching appears. If you already use prescription treatments or have a diagnosed skin condition, check with your dermatologist before adding something new.
Close the cap well after each use and keep the product away from direct sunlight and heat, such as a sunny windowsill or a hot car. A cool, dry shelf works best for keeping the texture consistent. Keep it out of reach of children, and use it for external application only.
